MLB Weekly Trade Round-Up: Royals traded Brady Singer to Reds for Jonathan India, Joey Weimer; Mets acquired Jose Siri, and more from Nov. 18-24, 2024
While there has been no Juan Soto-esque trade like there was last year, it has been an eventful MLB offseason for trades. Last week, some big-names and impact players moved to different teams. Here's everything that went down.
All MLB trades from last week
The biggest trade of last week involved a budding ace switching teams. Kansas City Royals standout Brady Singer was sent to the Cincinnati Reds. In return, the Royals landed Jonathan India and Joey Weimer. It was a big trade involving one of the Royals' younger arms.
The Cleveland Guardians sent reliever Eli Morgan to the Chicago Cubs for Alfonsin Rosario, an outfield prospect.
The Guardians also got cash considerations from the Pittsburgh Pirates for RHP Peter Strzelecki as they continue to reshape their pitching staff for the 2025 season.
The New York Mets made their first big splash with a trade for Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri. In return, the Mets sent relief pitcher Eric Orze to Tampa Bay. The Mets are still expected to pursue Soto in free agency despite adding an outfielder to the mix already.
The Los Angeles Angels got cash considerations from the Chicago Cubs for catcher Matt Thaiss. The Seattle Mariners landed infielder Austin Shenton from Tampa Bay, who sent them cash considerations. The team designated right-handed pitcher JT Chargois for assignment to make room on the active roster.
There are still several potential trade targets out there. The biggest names, like Soto or Corbin Burnes, are on the free-agent market, but there could be big trades for players like Garret Crochet, Devin Williams, Brandon Lowe, Masataka Yoshida, Jesus Luzardo, Luis Robert Jr., and so many more.
The hot stove is officially heating up, especially with the Reds' deal for Singer. Expect more trades to start take place next month during the Winter Meetings, which is where deals are historically made more frequently when GMs can talk directly to one another.
