The Diamondbacks made the most noise this weekend, sending 4 notable players out of town, while clearing $4M of 2020 payroll in the process. The Rangers followed closely behind, shipping out Robinson Chirinos, Todd Frazier, & Mike Minor out, freeing up $2.1M. But the Padres made the biggest splashes, acquiring 9 MLB ready players, including the biggest fish of the weekend in SP Mike Clevinger out of Cleveland. San Diego added $2.9M of 2020 payroll in the process, second only to the BlueJays, who brought in three new starting pitchers in Ross Stripling, Robbie Ray, & Taijuan Walker, $2.99M of new payroll. NOTE: The figures below account for MLB level salaries only. The numbers have already been prorated for the 60 game season.
