The Rangers have traded Lance Lynn to the Chicago White Sox for two pitching prospects.
https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/white-sox-trade-for-lance-lynn-send-rangers-2-pitching-prospects/I would think that Lynn to the White Sox would generate more competitive innings out of the White Sox starting rotation. He's 32, which is an age when many starting pitchers find their confidence, and he was already pretty good with Texas for a few years.

@jz2016cubs said in MLB Offseason discussion!:
The Phillies have denied the rumors that starting pitcher Zach Wheeler is on the trade block. Reports from other team's executives had came out saying that the Phillies had contacted everyone, informing them that Wheeler was able to be traded.
The team is not in the best financial position, as they were not able to sign JT Realmuto, the now top free agent catcher.
The Phillies executive said that he would not trade Wheeler for Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, or Mike Schmidt.That would be a mistake. Either of those three hitters would hit 80 HR's at Citizen Bank Park.

I have not seen the news about Carlos Santana to the Royals yet. They've been talking about adding a middle order bat for a couple of weeks. I think this is very good news for a team that could use a disciplined, patient hitter with a good history of being productive. My question is about Santana's defense at 1B. I am not sure if he's regarded as a good glove. I thought he won or was nominated for a Gold Glove some years ago, but I can't remember. Thank you for the news!

The deal is actually worth $17.5M. He can also earn performance bonuses if he plays as expected that would take the deal to $18.5M.

"While the Mets are talking to James McCann, as has been reported in several places, and he may well be the most likely starting catcher option for the Mets, it is thought that the team is still at least in touch with JT Realmuto." -Jon Heyman on Twitter

I understand, but I think it makes A LOT of sense. Because of his insane season, his stock is at it's "peak." But why trade him away at all?
