I love Joey Votto as a player.  He's owed $20+ million every year until 2024 when he'll be 41.  I really doubt they are going to find a team that wants to trade for him.

It sure seems like the Dodgers got the better package of prospects in that trade.

Dodgers traded three prospects for three prospects. Very unusual for a club to make a deal like that. Occasionally see prospect-for-prospect deal but multi-player prospects deal? Rare.

Its not a terrible deal for the Sox.

They fix 3b problems. Lawrie is better at 2b than as a 3rd baseman.

Frazier leaves in 2 years and comp pick is likely better then 2 of the 3 guys they gave up.

It was a good trade for the White Sox and Dodgers.  I'm not sure what the Reds see in Peraza, it seems like they got the worst part of the deal.

Have heard this as well about Chen. Have also heard Scott Kazmir is seeking 3-4 years at around $18 million a year.

Hamilton's OBP went from .292 in 2014 to .274 last year.  I'm not sure that is improvement.

Both players are speed guys with no power that don't walk.  There isn't a lot they can do to improve their game they are heavily BABIP dependent players and Hamilton strikes out way too much to be that type of guy.  Peraza might be able to, but it is a tough profile to count on.

Rosenthal says Dodgers, Cardinals after Leake. Didn't make it clear if it's just those two at this point.

Leake is from California but played for Arizona State where he may have unfavorable memories of being charged with shoplifting some shirts.

There have been multiple reports that Leake would take less money to go back to Arizona.
