Why would anyone want to shop for Jonathan Papelbon when bargains like this exist around every corner?

 

Or Fernando Rodney for that matter, who is supposed to be seeking $10 million a year. Jeff Passan hears that Benoit is most likely to go to either the Indians, Cubs, Mariners, Padres or Yankees.

The Atlanta Braves placed pitcher Sean Newcomb on the seven-day concussion list retroactive to Tuesday.

Newcomb was hit in the back of the head by a 102 m.p.h. line drive off the bat of J.T. Realmuto on Saturday night. The ball hit him so hard that it ricocheted to the screen behind the Phillies dugout. Despite that, Newcomb passed post-incident concussion tests and said he felt fine. It can take a little bit for concussion symptoms to become apparent, however, and that’s likely what happened here.

The Braves called up right-hander Huascar Ynoa from Triple-A Gwinnett to take Newcomb’s place on the roster.
