Here is every deal made on MLB's exciting trade
First, exhale.
Major League Baseball's 4 p.m. ET deadline for non-waiver trades has passed and it was quite a ride. It was one of the best trade-deadline days in years, with aces moving, contenders getting better and a large number of major leaguers swapping teams, not just prospects.
It was a lot to follow, especially in that final 45 minutes or so. We thought you, our wonderful reader, might be well served if The Stew collected every trade and put it in one single list.
Here you are. Enjoy ... while we exhale some more.
DAVID PRICE GOES TO THE TIGERS IN A THREE-TEAM SWAP It happened. David Price finally got traded. He's a member of the Detroit Tigers now, joining Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander and Anibal Sanchez in what soon might be renamed Cy Young City. The Tampa Bay Rays and Seattle Mariners were also part of the deal, with the Rays getting pitcher Drew Smyly and shortstop Willy Adames from Detroit, plus infielder Nick Franklin from the Mariners. Seattle added outfielder Austin Jackson for their part in the deal. [ More]
THE A'S GET JON LESTER FROM RED SOX FOR YOENIS CESPEDESThe other ace on the move happened Thursday morning, when the Oakland Athletics landed Jon Lester and Jonny Gomes from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for slugger Yoenis Cespedes, a high-powered deal that set the tone for a wild day of trading for the Red Sox. [ More]
JOHN LACKEY GOES TO ST. LOUISThe Red Sox sent another starting pitcher, John Lackey, to the St. Louis Cardinals and got a nice return. Pitcher Joe Kelly and first baseman/outfielder Allen Craig came to Boston. What makes Lackey, 35, appealing is that a clause in his contract calls for him to make only $500K next season. It's been reported that Lackey plans to honor that and not seek a new deal. [ More]
ANOTHER BOSTON MOVE: ANDREW MILLER TO BALTIMOREThe Red Sox then dealt highly sought-after relief pitcher Andrew Miller to the Baltimore Orioles. This time, they got a player for the future in return. The O's gave up their No. 3 prospect, left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. [ More]
STEPHEN DREW GOES TO THE YANKEESIn a rare swap between the Red Sox and the New York Yankees, shortstop Stephen Drew was dealt to the Bronx for Kelly Johnson. Drew will play second base, not shortstop. It was the first deal between the two teams since 1997. [ More]
YANKEES ALSO ADD MARTIN PRADOThe versatile Martin Prado, a 30-year-old who can play second base, third base and outfield, was also acquired by the Yankees. He's coming over from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for Peter O'Brien, a powerful 24-year-old catcher/first baseman/outfielder who has hit 33 homers in Single-A and Double-A this season.
GERARDO PARRA TRADED TO MILWAUKEEThe Milwaukee Brewers added Gold Glove outfielder Gerardo Parra in a deal with the D-backs. Arizona adds a couple more minor leaguers there - outfielder Mitch Haniger and left-handed pitcher Anthony Banda. [ More]
ASTROS-MARLINS SWAP YOUNGSTERSLots of players on the move here: The Houston Astros sent 24-year-old pitcher Jarred Cosart, rookie shortstop Enrique Hernandez and outfielder Austin Wates to the Miami Marlins, and got a decent return. The headline: third baseman Colin Moran, the sixth overall selection in last year's draft. Outfielder Jake Marisnick, pitcher Francis Martes and a draft pick also went back to Houston.
CUBS SEND BONIFACIO AND RUSSEL TO BRAVESThe Braves acquired sought-after outfielder/second baseman Emilio Bonifacio from the Chicago Cubs, along with pitcher James Russell. A lot of clubs seemed interested in Bonifacio, but the Braves nabbed him for prospect Victor Caratini, a catcher/third baseman.
NATS GET CABRERA TO HELP THEIR INFIELDAsdrubal Cabrera is headed to the Washington Nationals from the Cleveland Indians, where he'll likely move from shortstop to second base. The Indians sent young shortstop Zach Walters back to the Nats. [ More]
A'S SEND TOMMY MILONE TO THE TWINS, GET SAM FULD AGAINThe now pitching-rich A's sent unhappy starter Tommy Milone to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for outfielder Sam Fuld. Funny story: Fuld was actually on the A's earlier this season, but was designated for assignment and claimed off waivers by the Twins. [ More]
MARINERS ADD DENORFIA FROM THE PADRESOutfielder Chris Denorfia went to the Mariners, giving them a left-handed bat for the outfield. He's a free agent after this season. In return, the Padres got outfielder Abraham Almonte and pitcher Stephen Kohlscheen.
