    Yeah, Herrera gets his shot as a closer. Do they bring back Hochevar now? Dayton Moore has earned the benefit of the doubt, but I have a sinking feeling the Royals are letting their last real good shot with the core group slip away.

    If it's just Soler, they're certainly selling Davis for 50 cents on the dollar, unless his injury issues are worse than previously reported.

    I just don't think that a closer who will be a free agent after this season is worth much in trade value. They should have waited until before the trade deadline when teams were desperate.

    Ian Desmond to the Rockies for 5 years, $70 million, with an option for a sixth year. Seems like an odd fit because Colorado already has Gonzalez, Blackmon and Dahl in the outfield, though perhaps one of those guys gets traded or they move Desmond back to the infield.

    The have Story at short, LeMahieu at second and Arenado at third. Would they move him to first base?

    EDIT: Looks like 1B:

    Ian Desmond is a plus outfielder? I guess he just had a really awful October. Must be that Rangeritis mentioned earlier.

    Nationals get Adam Eaton for Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez and 2016 first-round pick Dane Dunning:

    Nationals To Acquire Adam Eaton

    Geez that's a lot for Eaton.

    Also, White Sox have acquired baseball's No. 1 pitching prospect (Giolito) and No. 2 hitting prospect (Yoan Moncada) in the last 24 hours.

    And McCutcheon still in play, apparently. But I won't work oop's corners.
