CI Howard, Ryan, $18m (2014)   

Phils and Red Sox agree to a deadline deal:

Phillies receive:
P Latos, Matt, $7m (2017)
X-P Latos, Matt, Cash Exchanged 2013, $-5.5m in 2013         
RP Thayer, Dale, $0.5m (P-2015)
RP Parra, Manny, $0.5m (2015)

Red Sox receive:
MI Johnson, Kelly, $7m (2016)
PHI pays $5.5m in 2013
SP Lannan, John, $2m (2014)
PHI pays $1m in 2013

I do this trade to get a good starter in Latos.  I regretted trading him a little bit ago and I'm happy to get him back.  I also needed RP's bad.  I have a couple MI's so I could afford to let Johnson go.

Thanks Jeff for the easy deal! 

Ducks receive:
D Duncan Keith, $5.5m (2018-2019)
D Jake Muzzin, $0.2m (P-14/15)
Flyers will pay $2m in 2013

Flyers receive:
C Brayden Schenn, $2.6m (2015-2016)
RW Ales Hemsky, $1.1m (2013-2014)

I do this deal because I'm very thin at wing after my last deal.  I'm hoping Schenn can put it all together and live up to the hype.  He has been a little bit of a disappointment so far but he is still young.  Tough to give up a good defenseman in Keith and a young D in Muzzin so I'm hoping it pays off.

Thanks Tyler for the negotiations!

Phillies receive:
P Martin, Ethan, $0.5m (P-n/a)

Royals receive:
SP Guthrie, Jeremy, $0.5m (2013)


Easy deal here.  I wasn't going to resign Guthrie and I like the upside of Martin.

Royals to confirm.

Phillies receive:
MI Valbuena, Luis, $0.5m (2014)   

Angels receive:
C Jimenez, AJ, $0.5m (P-n/a)

Phillies do this deal for some depth. With my trade for Montero I felt Jimenez was expendable.

Thanks Brent for the easy deal!
