Padres…Do Not Deal P-Brad Hand…15-clubs had expressed interest initially…negotiated with 4-clubs right up till the deadline…GM AJ Preller on conference call:

..In 2-years here-most calls ever got on a Padres player.
..We had moments in final 24-hours-we thought we had a deal
..Wanted lefthanded starting pitcher and a lead prospect for Hand
..Did not get value we wanted for an All Star reliever.
..Big thing-he gets big outs..can pitch alot of roles.
..We control him for 2-and-half more years
..Trades other teams made did not ricochet off and impact us
..We are building-Brad is part of that progress we’ve made
..Different than Craig Kimbrel trade-we were just starting to stockpile talent
..I am not in the business of giving away players
..Yes we talked to clubs about Jhoulys Chacin-never got enough offer
..Will revisit a waiver deal with Chacin in August
..Could also give Chacin a contract extension too

Dodgers…Pick up front line starter in Yu Darvish…gives club 7-starting pitchers once Clayton Kershaw comes back…also added lefthanded relievers Tony Watson and Tony Cingrani….LA did all these deals without moving Yasiel Puig..minor league stars Alex Verdugo or Walker Beuhler. or Julio Urias.
