Anaheim Angels

Kansas City Royals

Mets also dealt their best pitching prospect, Scott Kazmier for Victor Zambrano, and dealt Wigginton basically for Benson. That is by far the best deal a team has made. Kazmier is your basic Texas firearm, but stands about 5'11. Yes he can throw the ball, about 94-96, but with his little build it has injury prone written all over it.
Worse deal in my opinion was dealing Loiza for Contreras. There is literally no value in that trade. Your dealing an ace for shit.
Dodgers made the best moves, but the Cubs got what they needed, a SS and it adds to a powerful lineup with the best 1-2-3 pitching punch in baseball.
