I am sure there is more, but from what I can piece together:

Indians Recieve: Carlos Santana (2 years and $35.5M left) and Jake Bauers

Mariner Recieve: Edwin Encarnacion (2 years $41.6M left) and competitive balance pick

Rays Receive: Yandy Diaz and PTNL

With that being said, I don't see the motivation from the Mariners end.  They just picked up like $6M in additional salary to flip Santana into Encarnacion. Indians and Rays don't seem to be the types that would kick in $, so there must be more going to the Mariners.

I think they they think encarnacion is a better trade chip but...they just acquired him for a worse player just because he was slightly cheaper.

Sounds like competitive balance pick also going to Seattle....which still doesn't seem like enough to add $6M in salary to go from one 1B to another.

If that's the cost of a comp balance pick i hope we buy some, esp if we are to lose our 2nd rounders.
