share-square-1371258 1. 2011 Manager: Ron Roenicke Long before “Beast Mode” became a thing and the 2011 Brewers won their division for the first time in a generation, they needed some pitching to go with that high-energy offense. So general manager Doug Melvin parted with five premium prospects in the span of two weeks in December 2010 to swing a pair of trades that announced to the baseball world that Milwaukee was all-in for what might be Prince Fielder’s final season in a Brewers uniform. Nine months later, the pitchers Melvin acquired, Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum, were preparing to pitch in the postseason for the first time, Fielder was coming off one of his best all-around campaigns, Ryan Braun was poised to be the team’s first league MVP in 22 years and the Brewers were division champions for the first time since 1982. ....
MLB Trade Rumors 10:34am CDT The Mets locked up their most famous player through 2020, boldly following that move by trading the NL Cy Young winner for prospects. Major League Signings Total Spend: $4.75MM. Claimed IF Claimed SP Extensions Notable Losses Needs Addressed In early December, the Mets locked up the face of their franchise by giving third baseman David Wright seven years and $122MM in new money.

Originally posted on MLB Trade Rumors | By Tim Dierkes | Last updated 2/16/21 Less than three months after their first-round playoff defeat to the Marlins, the Cubs traded second place NL Cy Young finisher Yu Darvish to the Padres. This occurred after the Cubs won their division with a .567 winning percentage, which would have extrapolated to about 92 wins in a full season. I looked back through the last 20 years, and this has never been done: winning teams simply do not trade top-two Cy Young finishers. As you might expect, teams prefer not to trade top-two Cy Young finishers at all. In the past 20 years, it’s only been done twice in the offseason: the Mets traded 38-year-old R.A. Dickey to the Blue Jays after the 2012 season, and the Diamondbacks dealt 41-year-old Randy Johnson to the Yankees after Arizona’s abysmal 2004 campaign. Let’s see if the more recent Dickey trade bears any similarities to what t ....
MLB Trade Rumors The Tigers announced that they have agreed to sign free agent right-hander Anibal Sanchez to a five-year contract that includes a 2018 club option. The deal is valued at $80MM according to, Bob Nightengale of USA Today, who first reported the deal (on Twitter). “Anibal pitched tremendously for us down the stretch and during the post-season,” Tigers president and GM Dave Dombrowski said. “He strengthens our starting rotation and we are pleased to have him back with the Tigers organization.” Agent Gene Mato represents Sanchez, who agrees to terms with Detroit after coming close to a deal with the Cubs. Cubs ownership and Theo Epstein offered Sanchez a $77MM contract in Miami last week, but the Tigers jumped in and won the bidding, Nightengale reports (on Twitter). The Red Sox also talked to Sanchez, but didn t go as high as $80MM, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports (on Twitter). ....
