[QUOTE="IanKEvans2, post: 1359658, member: 12945"] The Dodgers haven't signed anyone as of yet. As you mentioned, the Cubs already signed Morrow from them, and they may lose Darvish, but they aren't positioned to lose anybody major from their core. They did trade Adrian Gonzalez, Scott Kazmir, and Brandon McCarthy for Matt Kemp. It's been rumored that Kemp will soon be dealt to an AL team where he can DH. I think the only move the Nationals have made is resigning reliever Brandon Kintzler, who they traded for at the deadline last season. The Brewers won't be losing anyone significant this offseason, but have been mentioned as a potential destination for Arrieta. The Cardinals have been among the most active teams this offseason: 1) signing reliever Luke Gregerson, 2) Aledmys Diaz traded to Toronto, 3) OF Piscotty was traded to Oakland, and 4) All-star OF Marcell Ozuna was acquired from Miami. Though the winter meetings have come and gone, there are plenty of high quality free agents available, notably Darvish, Arrieta, Wade Davis, Lorenzo Cain, JD Martinez, Eric Hosmer, among others. Lastly, Jesse Rogers from ESPN helped circulate a ridiculous trade rumor of which I wouldn't touch with a 39 and a half foot pole that would send Manny Machado to the Cubs sending back Addison Russell (and likely others). Machado has one year remaining on his contract and wants to play SS again. That said, I think this would be a foolish endeavor to deal Russell, who has 4(?) years of affordable control with a monster free agent class coming up (1 Bryce Harper, please). [/QUOTE]
