[h=1]Astros bring back catcher Maldonado[/h]
[FONT=&quot]CLEVELAND -- The Astros bolstered their catching depth on Wednesday by re-acquiring Martín Maldonado from the Cubs in exchange for infielder/outfielder Tony Kemp.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The strong-armed Maldonado, 32, played for the Astros last year and hit .231 with four homers and 12 RBIs in 41 games after coming over from the Angels in a trade. He started six of the seven games he played in the playoffs for the Astros last year.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The trade means the Astros will likely use a platoon at catcher the rest of the season with veterans Maldonado and Robinson Chirinos, who’s slashing .237/.363/.447 with 13 homers and 41 RBIs as the primary starter. Max Stassi has been the backup catcher, hitting .167 in 31 games.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]This is the second time Maldonado has been traded this month, going from the Royals to the Cubs on July 15. In 78 games between the Cubs and Royals this season, Maldonado was hitting .217 with 17 RBIs, but this is an acquisition for his defense and his arm.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Kemp was designated for assignment by the Astros on July 25 and was slashing .227/.308/.417 with seven homers and 17 RBIs.

Shane Green to The Braves

Greene, 30, is earning a reasonable $4MM this year for the Tigers. That’s nothing for his 38 innings of 1.18 ERA ball and 22 saves, though rival organizations still need to assess whether that’s what they can expect moving forward from Greene, who’ll be eligible for arbitration a final time next year.

Here's a recap thus far.

July 31: Phillies acquire OF Corey Dickerson from Pirates for a PTBNL and international bonus pool money
For the second time in as many years, Dickerson will replace Andrew McCutchen in the outfield. The Pirates acquired Dickerson during Spring Training last year to help fill the void in their outfield created by the trade that sent McCutchen to San Francisco. Outfield became a position of need for the Phillies when they lost McCutchen to a season-ending ACL tear on June 3. Dickerson carried a .317/.376/.556 slash line into Wednesday's game, though the soon-to-be free agent has missed significant time due to injuries this season. More >

July 31: D-backs acquire RHP Zac Gallen for SS Jazz Chisholm
The Marlins have a handful of promising young pitchers on their MLB roster or in the pipeline, and they used one of them to land Chisholm, who was Arizona's No. 1 prospect and MLB's No. 59 overall. Gallen made his big league debut earlier this season and has recorded a 2.72 ERA with 43 strikeouts over 36 1/3 innings. The 21-year-old Chisholm, meanwhile, is a toolsy shortstop who has struggled with strikeouts so far in his Minor League career. More >

July 31: Nationals acquire RHP Hunter Strickland from Mariners for LHP Aaron Fletcher
Washington made its third bullpen addition of the afternoon, and second from Seattle, by dealing for Strickland, who recently returned from the injured list after missing much of the season with a right lat strain. The right-hander opened this season as the M's closer before going on the injured list. He owns a lifetime 2.98 ERA in the regular season and pitched in 11 postseason games with the Giants. Fletcher, who was ranked as Washington's No. 21 prospect, has notched a 1.79 ERA with a 10.3 K/9 mark and a 2.2 BB/9 over 32 relief appearances this year, appearing at three Minor League levels. More >

July 31: A's acquire Tanner Roark from Reds for OF Jameson Hannah
Roark gave the Reds a 4.24 ERA over 21 starts after joining the club in an offseason trade with the Nationals, and the impending free agent brought back an outfielder who ranked as the A's No. 8 prospectand was a second-round Draft pick in 2018. The 32-year-old Roark addresses Oakland's need for a veteran starter as the club looks to make another postseason push. More >

July 31: Brewers acquire LHP Drew Pomeranz and RHP Ray Black from Brewers for SS Mauricio Dubon
It didn't look as though Pomeranz would have much trade value as recently as two weeks ago, but a move to the bullpen worked wonders. In 5 1/3 scoreless innings spanning four relief appearances, Pomeranz allowed only one hit and one walk. For Pomeranz, an impending free agent, and Black, a 29-year-old who has made just 28 big league appearances, San Francisco did well to get back Dubon. The 25-year-old, who was ranked as Milwaukee's No. 3 prospect, has posted a .297 average with 16 homers and nine steals at the Triple-A level this season. More >

July 31: Nationals acquire LHP Roenis Elias from Mariners for LHP Taylor Guilbeau and RHP Elvis Alvarado
Shortly after picking up Daniel Hudson from the Jays, the Nats added another bullpen piece in Elias, who has spent much of this season as the Mariners' closer. The 30-year-old lefty is under control through 2021 and owns a 4.40 ERA this season. Guilbeau was the Nats' No. 15 prospect, while Alvarado did not rank among the club's Top 30. More >

July 31: Nationals acquire RHP Daniel Hudson from Blue Jays for RHP Kyle Johnston
Improving the relief corps was clearly a priority for the Nats, who entered Trade Deadline day with the highest bullpen ERA (5.99) in the Majors. After signing a one-year, $1.5 million deal with the Blue Jays in the offseason, Hudson has enjoyed a strong campaign, posting a 3.00 ERA in 48 innings. To acquire him, Washington surrendered Johnston, who was ranked as the team's No. 27 prospect. More >

July 31: Astros acquire C Martin Maldonado from Cubs for INF/OF Tony Kemp
Not only is Martin Maldonado on the move for the second time in just over two weeks, he also is joining the Astros for the second straight stretch run. The 32-year-old backstop was acquired by the Cubs from the Royals for lefty Mike Montgomery on July 15 but found his role limited once Willson Contreras returned to health. Houston traded for Maldonado last July, too, giving him regular playing time in the second half and in October while Brian McCann battled injuries. He will provide depth behind starter Robinson Chirinos this time around before hitting the open market.
On the other side of the deal, Kemp -- who was designated for assignment by Houston earlier in the week -- brings versatility to a Cubs team that values players who can cover multiple spots on the diamond. The 27-year-old has a career-high seven homers in 186 plate appearances this season. More >

July 31: Rays acquire 1B Jesus Aguilar from Brewers for RHP Jake Faria
The Rays had been connected to a number of right-handed bats leading up to the Trade Deadline, and Aguilar fills that need. After making the All-Star team in 2018, the slugger has struggled for much of '19, though he has shown some improvement lately. Since the start of July, Aguilar has hit .298/.346/.574 with three homers in 52 plate appearances. Faria, meanwhile, will provide some depth for an ailing Brewers pitching staff. More >

July 31: Rangers acquire RHP Nate Jones, international slot compensation and cash considerations from White Sox for RHP Joe Jarneski and RHP Ray Castro
The Rangers increased their international bonus pool money by $1 million, which will help the club finalize the signing of international free agent outfielder Bayron Lora, according to MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan. The Rangers agreed to a $4.2 million signing bonus with Lora on July 1, according to MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez, but the deal has yet to be announced because the club still needed to add international slot money.

[h=1]Astros to land Greinke from D-backs (source)[/h]
[FONT=&quot]In a last-minute Trade Deadline blockbuster, the Astros agreed to a deal that will send D-backs ace Zack Greinke and cash to Houston, sources told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand and Steve Gilbert on Wednesday. The clubs have not confirmed the trade.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]According to Feinsand, Arizona will get back a huge haul of Astros farmhands: first baseman/outfielder Seth Beer (Astros' No. 3 prospect, per MLB Pipeline), right-hander J.B. Bukauskas (No. 4), righty Corbin Martin (No. 5) and infielder Josh Rojas (No. 22).

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]News of the deal broke minutes after the 4 p.m. ET Deadline hit -- barely a half hour after Greinke finished tossing five innings of two-run, two-hit, seven-strikeout ball against the powerhouse Yankees in the Bronx. The deal would cap an enormously productive Deadline Day for Houston, which also acquired catcher Martin Maldonado from the Cubs and reached deals to land right-handers Aaron Sanchez and Joe Biagaini from the Blue Jays for outfielder Derek Fisher, a source told MLB.com.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Greinke has a 2.90 ERA in 23 starts this season, with 135 strikeouts in 146 innings.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Greinke is in the midst of a six-year, $206.5 million deal that goes through the 2021 season. However, there is $62.5 million in deferred money that will be paid in annual installments of $12.5 million from 2022 through 2026. So even though his “salary” for this season is $31.5 million, roughly a third of that is deferred, and he’s actually taking home $21 million for 2019.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Therefore, Greinke is owed the prorated portion of his $21 million salary for 2019, as well as what’s left of the final two years of the deal, which comes out to $112.5 million (including deferred payments) when you also include two $3 million bonus payments he is still owed, as well as a $2 million trade bonus.
