CHARGE!
Lance Lynn was not moved today. Can confirm #Cardinals are keeping him.

Indians send minor leaguers LHP Tom Pannone and SS Samad Taylor to Toronto for Joe Smith.

Cleveland scouted Lynn's starts recently. A source also suggested that #Cardinals would talk to Cleveland about one of the outfielders. https://t.co/hDVVOMfUXN

Without bombast or sensationalism, Bernie points out that Molina’s actions add to the manager’s internal difficulties – or perhaps just draw more attention to them.
If Mike Matheny Loses Yadier Molina’s Loyalty, the Manager Is In Danger of Losing the Clubhouse
Ah, but extend Lynn for how many years and at what annual salary?
My personal belief has not changed in years. Lynn will fetch more money and years as a free agent than the Cards would ever give him. In my view, the only question at this point is trade vs. qualifying offer and the latter route will be pretty much confirmed if he is not dealt today.
Matheny feels sorry for bitter fans.

Cubs putting the hammer down, adding Tigers closer Justin Wilson to go along with Jose Quintana.
With addition of Justin Wilson, Cubs have four members of bullpen with recent, successful closing experience.

Scott, I will take a shot.
Rosenthal. Of course, the rub is in what return would be considered “decent”. The Cards need someone to close this year and next and my bet is that it will be Rosenthal. As soon as he becomes a free agent, he will leave for more money elsewhere.
Relief. I don’t see Montgomery and Sherriff as difference-makers. I like the idea of using minor league starters though, but as you hint, 40-man space is a real concern.
Rule 5. In fact, 40-man roster management is precisely why Cordoba was lost. I haven’t looked at the protected list lately, but put it on my to-do list.
Lynn. I believe his compensatory pick would be following Competitive Balance Round B, or just before the third round.

Jaime on the move again…
#Yankees sending RHP Zack Littell and LHP Dietrich Enns to #Twins for Jaime Garcia and cash, per @JoelSherman1 and @Jonheyman.

These are not Terry Ryan's @Twins anymore. In the 2 Jaime Garcia deals, @Twins essentially buy 2 good arms from @Yankees for $4 million.

Sources: #Astros have shown interest in Lance Lynn. HOU/STL officials are comfortable dealing with one another, despite recent history. @MLB
