Yandy Diaz sent to Tampa Bay from Cleveland
The Cleveland Indians have traded infielder Yandy Diaz to the Tampa Bay Rays in a three-team deal.
What It Means:
Diaz and minor-league pitcher Cole Susler are leaving Believeland and heading down south to Tampa Bay. The Rays are sending Jake Bauers to Cleveland, and the Mariners and Indians are swapping Edwin Encarnacion and Carlos Santana.
In 39 games last season, Diaz hit for a .312 average with 15 runs, 15 RBI and a .797 OPS.

Jake Bauers headed to Cleveland in three-team deal
The Tampa Bay Rays have shipped first baseman Jake Bauers to the Cleveland Indians.
What It Means:
In a three-team deal, Bauers and former-Seattle Mariners first baseman Carlos Santana will head to Cleveland. The Indians will send Edwin Encarnacion to Seattle, while they'll also ship Yandy Diaz and Cole Susler to the Rays.
In 96 games last season, Bauers hit for a .201 average with 11 home runs and 48 RBI with a .700 OPS.

Mariners ship Carlos Santana to Cleveland
The Seattle Mariners have traded Carlos Santana to the Cleveland Indians.
What It Means:
It's a three-team deal between Seattle, Cleveland and the Tampa Bay Rays. The Mariners are unloading Santana in exchange for Edwin Encarnacion, Cleveland is also acquiring Jake Bauers, and the Rays will pick up Yandy Diaz and minor-league pitcher Cole Susler.
In 161 games last season with the Phillies, Santana hit for a .229 batting average with 24 home runs, 86 RBI and a .766 OPS.

Edwin Encarnacion traded to Mariners
The Cleveland Indians have traded first baseman Edwin Encarnacion to the Seattle Mariners.
What It Means:
Encarnacion will be joining a Mariners team that just missed out on the playoffs in 2018 and will presumably slide in at first base or designated hitter. Carlos Santana is heading to Cleveland in the three-team deal, and so will Jake Bauers. Yandy Diaz and minor-league pitcher Cole Susler will be heading to the Tampa Bay Rays.
In 137 games last season, Encarnacion hit for a .246 batting average with 32 home runs, 107 RBI and a .810 OPS.

Cardinals acquire Paul Goldschmidt from the Diamondbacks
The Arizona Diamondbacks have traded first baseman Paul Goldschmidt to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for catcher Carson Kelly, pitcher Luke Weaver, infielder Andy Young, and a 2019 MLB draft pick.
What It Means:
The Cardinals have been lacking a power hitter in the middle of their lineup and got one in Goldschmidt. They paid a relatively low cost due to the slugger being under contract for just one more season. There is a chance they try to work out an extension before the season is over though. The six-time All-Star will likely hit cleanup and man first base for St. Louis in 2019.
Goldschmidt has averaged 31.5 homers, 102 RBI, and 105.3 runs scored while posting a .301 batting average and .946 OPS the last four seasons.

Nationals sign pitcher Patrick Corbin to 6-year, $140M deal
The Washington Nationals have signed free-agent pitcher Patrick Corbin to a six-year, $140M deal on Tuesday.
What It Means:
Corbin was the big name pitcher available on the free agent market and the Nationals opened up their checkbook to sign the former Arizona Diamondback. The two-time All-Star gives the Nats a strong top-three in their rotation, joining Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg.
Corbin posted a 3.15 ERA and 1.05 WHIP while striking out 246 in 200 innings with Arizona in 2018.
