ALL TRANSACTIONS
The Reds lose Waddell Medallist Rosey Davis for 4 months to a partial UCL tear, while boom Washington pitching prospect Leroy Matlock will miss a similar amount of time thanks to a torn elbow tendon.
After a so-so 10-8 ST, we are picked to finish mid-standings at slightly above 500, which sounds about right to me. The experts see the Tigers repeating in the AL from the Red Sox and Yanks, with the Reds on top in the NL from New York and Boston.
