Screw it, I can’t even keep up anymore. While I was writing my opus on the Matt Kemp trade, about 55 more things have happened, and we’re all sleep deprived and running on fumes, so I’m throwing in the white flag on trying to write these all up separately. Consider this the December 11th transaction hub. I’ll update this as things come in, and you can use this as a place to tell me about the 15 deals I missed while I tried to breathe.

The Tigers made their trade with the Reds to get a starting pitcher, but it was Alfredo Simon going to Detroit to replace Rick Porcello. Simon has outperformed his peripherals for 500 big league innings, but he doesn’t look like a great bet to be more than a serviceable back-end starter. To acquire one year of his rights, the Tigers gave up infielder Eugenio Suarez and pitching prospect Jonathan Crawford. Nice little move by the Reds.

Cincinnati wasn’t done, though, trading Mat Latos to the Marlins in exchange for Anthony DeSclafani and Chad Wallach. Kiley McDaniel, on those two.

Just saw RHP Anthony DeSclafani (near MLB ready back end piece, 90-93) and C Chad Wallach (big guy, light bat, may be MLB backup) in AFL.

Latos’ velocity and strikeout rate both took big wrong turns in 2014 after he began the year on the disabled list, so there’s all kinds of red flags here. If he’s healthy and gets his velocity back, he could be a good pitcher again, but it’s one year of a health gamble for the Marlins. I can’t say I’m a fan of what they’ve done the last 24 hours.

And finally, according to Buster Olney, the Red Sox have rounded out their rotation by signing Justin Masterson to a one year contract. Like Latos, Masterson is a pitcher with a good track record who had a lousy 2014 season, so this is an upside play, only Masterson didn’t cost the Red Sox any talent to acquire. He’ll join Rick Porcello and Wade Miley in providing depth that the Red Sox didn’t have previously, though I wouldn’t be surprised if they still pursued a front-end guy to upgrade over Clay Buchholz or Joe Kelly.

Oh, and the Royals apparently got close to signing Kendrys Morales while I wrote the last paragraph. $17 million for two years, so basically, the everyone-gets-an-extra-year inflation continues. You apparently have to be near death to settle for a one year deal anymore.

And now there’s this.

Hey, I got one, kinda. I had Santana landing a 4/$52M contract from an AL Central team, though it was KC, not Minneosta. In this market, for what Santana is, this feels about right. Average is expensive now.
