Some player movement and a few rumors that potentially have legs greet us this morning. I almost forgot how to mentally process this type of activity. But I have actual news to report, and though it’s nothing truly significant, it’s something. In chronological order:
- Gerrit Cole was traded to the Astros, but he really wasn’t
- Jay Bruce signed a three-year deal with the Mets
- Yu Darvish has narrowed his list of potential suitors down to five six teams
- Jake Arrieta has at least six “overpay” offers.
Cole
The Astros and Pirates were close on a Gerrit Cole trade yesterday.
