Denard Span OF $4 (2016)

For

MI/CI Solarte, Yangervis, $1.5m (2016), signed 4/10/14   $1.5m   $1.5m   $1.5m   

MI/CI Ryan Rua $0.5 (p-n/a)
C Robinson Chirinos $0.5 (p-n/a)

We get Span, solid OF option.  Solarte impressed last year and has multiple positions, should continue to lead off in SD.  Chirinos should hold down C in Tex until Alfaro arrives (on Col roster) then he will back him up.  Rua has quite a bat, MI/CI guy, sleeper for next year.

Col to confirm.  Good deal for both.

for
MI Ramirez, Hanley, $11.5m (2014) + $11M 2014

Confirmed new trade, added very young MI, who is sneaking onto many top spec lists.  Caratini at C, Cordero at MI, McMahon at CI, and Baltz at Of, all having very good years (Baltz just ok).  McMahon is one of the 2014 breakout specs, Caratini is double machine with good eye, Cordero is probably next big MI spec like Mondesi last year.

For injury prone MI that is a former star, now hitting declining years at $10m per year resign.  Don't get me wrong Hanley is good, just not great.

#17 MI in 2014 - 100 games played
#7 MI in 2013 - 86 games played

OF De Aza, Alejandro, $5.5m (2014)   $5.5m               
Sea pays 5m in 2014

For

SP Alex Reyes $0.5m (p-n/a)

Another waiver deal for the playoff run.  De Aza has been playing well of late.  Reyes is top spec.  Kyle to confirm.
