The Cincinnati Reds continued their rebuild for the future on Wednesday, trading All-Star third baseman Todd Frazier to the Chicago White Sox in a three-team deal that also includes the Los Angeles Dodgers. The White Sox announced full details of the trade:

Headlines around baseball have been dominated by Pete Rose's failed attempt for reinstatement into the game over the past few days, but the hot stove has continued to hum along this December. 

There are just 63 days until pitchers and catchers report for spring training, yet there is still plenty of hot-stove fodder to feed on. 

The winter meetings seem like ages ago given the splash of free-agent signings, yet the trade market remains fluid among plenty of potentially franchise-altering talent. 

Here is a look at some of the latest trade buzz. 

$217 million...for a freaking pitcher?!? Now I know I've seen it all.

After a half-century of baseball, blizzards, college students and traffic, my bucket list is nearly complete. I've even seen Pablo Sandoval leg out a triple.

Happy 50th birthday to me: I am Boston's famed Citgo sign.

On this week in 1965, my then-neon red and blue hues first lit the sky above Kenmore Square. I have been a fixture for Red Sox fans, Bostonians and visitors from everywhere ever since.

If you thought the hot stove was going to cool off in time for the holidays, well, you were wrong. We've seen a handful of blockbuster deals go down in recent days.

There was Jason Heyward's eight-year, $184 million free-agent pact with the Chicago Cubs and Johnny Cueto's six-year, $130 million deal with the San Francisco Giants, which took two of the biggest free agents off the board.

Major League Baseball has seen some stuff, man. That's including, but not limited to, all the lopsided trades of this century. It's going to be hard for any trade to top those.

According to the baseball commentary parlor, however, last week's blockbuster trade that sent Shelby Miller to Arizona is sure going to try.

We're through the looking glass, people. We can tell by the way we're gawking in awe at the Chicago Cubs, a team that hasn't won a World Series since Ford was introducing the Model T.

And, heck, we could be gawking in even more awe at the Cubs in the near future. They're already great, but apparently they want to be flawless.

At the beginning of December, before the winter meetings took place, we published an article breaking down 10 potential win-win trade ideas based on players believed to be available on the trade market.

Now that a flurry of action has taken place and the market has changed considerably, it seems like an appropriate time for an updated article of the same ilk.

It wouldn't be an offseason without the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers throwing their weight around.

If that statement is true, this might not be an offseason.

Oh, sure, it's only mid-December. There's still plenty of time for the Yanks and Dodgers, baseball's biggest spenders, to make waves on the free-agent market, the trading block or both.

The 2015 MLB offseason has been an exercise in patience for prime-time outfielders like Yoenis Cespedes, Alex Gordon and Justin Upton.

Now that Jason Heyward has inked an eight-year, $184 million deal with the Chicago Cubs, the market has been set and the offseason game of outfield musical chairs can begin.
