The Phillies have claimed RHP Yoan López off waivers from the Atlanta Braves. To make room on the 40-man roster, OF Roman Quinn was designated for assignment.


**Not sure we'll do a Roman Quinn Appreciation Thread, given the circumstances**

Midds owns an MLB team. Paying money to make it good is what he's supposed to do. There is no rule against going over the luxury tax. ... (Also, the specific number of that tax ceiling could change during the freezeout)

Two executives believe Corey Seager will sign today. Javier Baez could also get done before the end of the day. Max Scherzer’s deal is only the start of what could be a busy Monday.
