I hope someone more knowledgeable than me, particularly on the value of wins and contract ramification, can use this as a jumping off point.
Rays:
Gave up Price (cost controlled through 2015) for Nick Franklin, Drew Smyly and prospect Adames
Tigers:
Gave up Smyly, 1 year + 3 months of Austin Jackson and prospect Adames for 1 year + 3 months of Price. Will probably sign Price to the original Scherzer offer and say goodbye to Max.
A's:
Gave up Cespedes and a competitive pick for Gomes, $1M and a 3-month rental of Jon Lester
Cardinals:
Gave up Craig and Kelly for prospect Littrell, $1.75M and 1 year + 3 months of Lackey, but at only $500K for 2015
Orioles:
Gave up their #3 prospect for a 3 month rental of Miller
Mariners:
Gave up Nick Franklin for 1 year + 3 months of Austin Jackson. Gave up Almonte and Kohlscheen for Denorfia.
Red Sox:
Gave up Gomes, $1M and 3 months of Lester for Cespedes and a competitive pick. Gave up 3 months of Miller for prospect Rodriguez. Gave up prospect Littrell, $1.75M and 1 year + 3 months of Lackey (still owed 500K for being traded) for Craig and Kelly. Gave up 2 months of Drew for Johnson.
Plus minor others (Diamondbacks, Marlins, Braves, Twins, Yankees, Nationals...)
It's pretty clear that at first glance that the Mariners and Red Sox made out like bandits, and that the A's and Tigers improved themselves substantially for 2014.
It looks like the Rays and O's got fleeced.
