Monday saw Major League Baseball's first trades of the waiver period, with former top-100 infield prospect Luis Sardinas traded from Seattle to San Diego in exchange for a player to be named later or cash, per the Mariners, while Atlanta catcher Michael McKenry to Milwaukee for what figures to be a similar return, per the Brewers.
