Around the league

• As indicated in the title of this article, the Indians did not, in fact, acquire Jonathan Villar. He instead went to the Marlins for *checks notes* Easton Lucas, a LHP in A-ball.
• James McCann got a hefty raise as well, signing a 1-year deal with the White Sox for $5.4 million.
• Mike Moustakas is headed to the Cincinnati Reds with a 4-year, $64 million contract.
• Jurickson Profar is headed to San Diego in exchange for catcher Austen Allen.
• The Cubs decided that, after two years of having domestic abuser Addison Russell on the team, it was time to move in a different direction.
• If Ryan Zimmerman can’t get a contract with the Nationals, he will likely retire.
