The St. Louis Cardinals extended SS J.J. Wetherholt for 8 years/$112.5 million, with performance bonuses that can raise that to $132 million. Solid move for both sides.
The Los Angeles Angels fired GM Perry Minasian and replaced him with John Mozeliak. This changes nothing.
The New York Mets fired manager Carlos Mendoza and replaced him with Andy Green. I don’t think that their terrible season was Mendoza’s fault. They have a poorly constructed roster that was hit by injuries.
The Philadelphia Phillies fired manager Rob Thomson, and made Don Mattingly their new manager. It makes sense, but might not save their season.
Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora, but it’s not his fault the team is bad this season.
The Seidlers sold the San Diego Padres to Jose E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones. Time will tell how it will affect the team’s finances.
The Detroit Tigers extended SS Kevin McGonigle for 8 years/$150 million in a solid move.
The Pittsburgh Pirates smartly extended SS Konnor Griffin for 9 years/$140 million.
The Baltimore Orioles needlessly extended SP Shane Baz for 5 years/$68 million.
