Rays trade Rich Hill to the Mets for Tommy Hunter and a prospect. 

So is this buying and selling at the same time, or just ownership cheapness?

You can't have any Rich Hill if you want Nelson Cruz.

[SteveA]

Are Hill and Cruz the two oldest players in MLB?   Maybe Tampa didn't want that distinction.

I guess they foresee the kid they got from San Diego in the Snell deal to take a bigger role going forward.   He had a decent start the other day I think.

How can you have any Nelson Cruz if you don't trade your Rich Hill?

And Pujols is probably older than that.

Wow, didn't realized O'Day had reached the top 6 among oldest MLBers.

So 3 weeks and 1 day ago, there were just 2 40+ year olds in MLB?   I'll bet that's an all time low.

I can’t believe Ervin Santana is still around.

Padres acquire Pirate 2nd baseman Adam Frazier, a fantastic young player in his prime under control until the end of next year, for 3 prospects:  Jack Suwinski, Tucupito Marcano, and Mitchell Miliano.

Pirates also send $1.4mm to Padres.

Someone explain this to me. Granted, Frazier is very good, but the Padres have Cronenworth who’s also pretty good. Is that really an area in which they were deficient? It would seem pitching (as always) is where they need improvement.

Seems like they have never been satisfied with Cronenworth.  They went out in the off-season and  spent some $$ on Kim Ha-Seong despite having Cronenworth.

Speculation on MLB Trade Rumors is that Cronenworth will be moved to first base since Hosmer has been pretty bad there  offensively.

I can't see Scherzer getting traded to the Mets unless the Mets give up their whole farm system to close the deal. Now that you mention it maybe the Mets agreeing to such a deal isn't that unlikely.

Mets GM just said a month for Lindor.   They are using Villar now.   How is Freddy's leg?   He might be August Goldilocks if he's good.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

The replies by Yankees fans to this trade announcement makes me feel all warm inside.

Phillies acquire veteran LH back of the rotation starting pitcher Tyler Anderson from the Pirates.

Anderson, 31, signed a 1 year $2.5mm contract with Pittsburgh as a free agent in February.

He's 5-8 with a 4.35 ERA and 1.200 WHIP for PIttsburgh this year, worth 1.3 WAR.

Phillies give up 20 yo C Abrahan Gutierrez and 21 yo RHP Christian Hernandez.

EDIT:   UPDATE:   The deal is on hold at the moment, reportedly due to a physical issue for one of the prospects going to Pittsburgh.  Per Rosenthal.

Scherzer says he would not approve a trade to the Mets. Also the Nats say they would not be open to trading Scherzer to the Mets.
