Here's a blockbuster move between bitter NL Central rivals...
Reds receive: Manny Machado SS/3B BAL - 11.5 17.5 17.5 17.5 17.5 TO 26.25 Andrew Knapp C PHI - 0.6 Prospect Heath Fillmyer SP OAK - 0.2 Prospect
Cubs receive: Xander Boegarts SS BOS - 4.5 6.75 6.75 6.75 6.75 TO10.13 UFA Yasiel Puig RF LAD - 6.5 7.5 ARB3 UFA Raul Mondesi Jr 2B KC - 0.51 1.02 2.04 ARB1 ARB2 ARB3 UFA Zack Collins C CHW - 0.2 Prospect
Machado is a consensus top 5 ranked keeper league stud and it's tough to move him after paying so much to get him just about a month ago, but Boegarts is a very good replacement at SS and Puig adds some solid depth. The farm upgrades round out a solid return that makes sense for the future of the Cubs. Thanks to the Reds for the deal.

IF IT MATTERS: Knapp on my MLB Roster
Machado is one of the best and one of my favorite players in baseball. See some flaws in long-term upside for Xander. Got a decent catcher bat and a decent arm who isn't too far away. Have depth at RF with Avi and Bonifacio. Felt it was worth it to get such a surefire corner stud
