Braves Seeking Trade For Controllable Starter

Jun 29, 2017 7:54 AM

The Atlanta Braves would like to trade for a top-of-the-rotation starter and have Chris Archer and Jose Quintana on their wish list.

They also had scouts watching Sonny Gray over the weekend.

However, the Braves have more interest in Archer and Quintana because they are under contract longer.

Archer is under contractual control for four more seasons, including club-friendly options in 2020 ($9 million) and 2022 ($11 million).

Quintana's deal runs through 2020 including two option years. He will make about $31 million in 2018-20, assuming the options are exercised.

Rays Acquire Adeiny Hechavarria From Marlins

Jun 28, 2017 9:02 AM

The Tampa Bay Rays have acquired Adeiny Hechavarria from the Miami Marlins in exchange for two minor leaguers.

The Rays say he's a "Gold Glove-caliber" defender who's also capable of making them better offensively.

Tampa Bay will most likely make room for Hechavarria at shortstop by shifting Tim Beckham from the position to play second base.

"We certainly feel we have as good a chance as anybody," senior vice president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said, adding that Hechavarria is a "talented player who's going to help us win."

Braxton Lee and pitcher Ethan Clark will go to Miami in the deal.

Blue Jays Unlikely To Sell After Rebounding

Jun 24, 2017 1:47 AM

The Toronto Blue Jays were 11 games under .500 in late April, but have rebounded since and are unlikely to sell off stars at the non-waiver trade deadline.

"Obviously we're not pleased with our record, but we're pleased with the fact that our team was able to dig out of a significant hole," Ross Atkins said. "Now we're very much in it. We can't climb back into one of those holes, because there's not as much time left. We need to play at a better-than-.500 clip, but we're glad that we're in a situation to even talk about that, given our start."

In early May, there were rumors that the Blue Jays could look to move someone like Josh Donaldson.

Jun 22, 2017 10:39 AM

Matt Adams and Brandon Phillips have produced in short stays with the Atlanta Braves, which has only enhanced their potential trade value.

The Braves acquired Adams when Freddie Freeman broke his wrist, but the latter is expected to return a few weeks before the non-waiver trade deadline. Phillips, who turns 36 this month, is in the final year of his contract and could be an option for a contender.

"I worry about things I can control," Phillips said. "If we keep winning, we'll be here. Until they call me into the office, I'm here."
