edwin encarnacion to seattle for carlos santana
not entirely sure i see the point

7M dollar difference afaict

all else equal, i'd much rather have santana. but i don't know either system's prospect/depth situation
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 13 December 2018 17:21 (five years ago) link
they each have a 3 year, $60 million contract (2017-19 for encarnacion, 2018-20 for santana), with a one year team option that seems unlikely to be exercised at the end (25.5M for encarnacion, 17.5M for santana)
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 13 December 2018 17:23 (five years ago) link
oh, edwing's 2020 is a team option while santana's is guaranteed, so that makes sense for seattle

wait, there's more to it. it's a three-team deal, with the rays
yandy diaz goes from indians to raysjake bauers from rays to indiansencarnacion from indians to marinerssantana from mariners to indians
i think?

mariners send high five to raysrays wave back to mariners
i don't understand how that's a three-team trade, rather than just the indians making two different trades at the same time, but ken rosenthal says it's true so

@CoreyBrockMLBSeattle GM Jerry Dipoto, who was out sick Wednesday, was taken to a nearby hospital as a precaution.@JeffPassanToday’s three-way trade with the Mariners, Indians and Rays is the first from-a-hospital Winter Meetings deal since 2006, when the inimitable Jim Hendry locked in Ted Lilly’s four-year, $40M free agent contract while on a gurney being wheeled in to the OR to have an angioplasty.

i was like "uh ok is this even news" until i remembered that the phillies, cards, and nats are not all, in fact, the same team, but distinct National League teams with the same colors. i will never not mix these three teams up until i die and i hate it when someone moves from one of them to the other because i get confused

Some people think this is trade one and a second trade is brewing with Cleveland perhaps for Corey Kluber.
Reds still will need to get 'someone' that can play CF or at least someone that can platoon with Scott Schebler, unless he is dealt.

Reds hitting coach Turner Ward is supposed to be fairly tight with Puig and knows Kemp from working with them in LA.
I think Puig could make some serious cash playing in Great American for a year (even for a single year). Worked out ok for Kevin Mitchell and Sin-shoo Choo.
