Tuesday and Wednesday were big days for transactions in baseball, and the major dominoes are starting to fall. Here's a roundup:
-Braves sign BJ Upton to a 5-year, $75.25 million deal. After being courted heaviily by both Atlanta and the Phillies, the Braves got their man in Upton, locking him up for the next five years.
-Yankees re-sign Andy Pettitte to a 1-year, $12 million deal. With one veteran locked up, the Yankees will turn their focus to re-signing Mariano Rivera next.
-Angels sign RHP Ryan Madson to a 1-year, $3.5 million deal. Madson will be the new closer for the Angels, and they are now working to trade Jordan Walden.
-Reds re-sign RHP Jonathan Broxton to a 3-year, $21 million deal with a club option for 2016. With Broxton locked up, the Reds will likely move Aroldis Chapman to the rotation and try to trade a starter like Mike Leake.
-Cubs sign RHP Scott Feldman to a 1-year, $6 million deal. Feldman joins Scott Baker as the newest members of the Cubs rotation.
-Rays sign IF Mike Fontenot to a minor league deal, re-sign OF Rich Thompson

-Red Sox trade 3B Danny Valencia to the Orioles for cash.
-Padres trade RHP Cory Burns to the Rangers for a PTBNL.
