B. Hand - RP

WSH

Nationals signed LHP Brad Hand to a one-year, $10.5 million contract.

The deal was reported over the weekend and is now official. Hand also drew interest from the division rival Mets as a possible set-up man for Edwin Diaz, but he should function as the closer in Washington. The 31-year-old led MLB with 16 saves last season while posting a 2.05 ERA and 29/4 K/BB ratio over 22 innings. It's worth noting that Indians declined their $10 million option on Hand in order to make him a free agent, so he actually did slightly better for himself in the end.

J. Realmuto - C

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Phillies are "trying to close the deal" to bring back free agent catcher J.T. Realmuto.

The Braves have been mentioned in recent days, though they appear more of a longshot given that they'd prefer a shorter contract and they already have Travis d'Arnaud under contract for 2021. Heyman reports that it's believed the Phillies have made an offer around $110 million -- presumably over five years -- and it's hard to believe someone else has topped that until this point. It's a clear fit if the Phillies have any intention of contending this year, so we could be entering the closing stages here.

N/A

T. Bauer - SP

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Mets did not offer a deal to Trevor Bauer with a record AAV (average annual value).

Mark Feinsand of MLB.com and Andy Martino of SNY.tv are reporting the same. This stands in direct contrast to Bob Nightengale's reporting. It's important to note that the word "offer" might be misconstrued, as the Mets could have made their intentions of a framework clear. Nobody is denying that the Mets have interest and Martino writes that the club has indeed made an offer, but not to the point of $36 million AAV. Either way, there's a lot of smoke here and the Mets have been one of only a handful of teams willing to spend this offseason.

J. Bradley Jr. - CF

Mike Puma of the New York Post reports that Jackie Bradley Jr. remains "solid on the Mets' radar."

The Mets are also reportedly engaged on Trevor Bauer, so it's unclear whether they are looking to sign one or both, but there's no question that the club could use an upgrade in center field. One major unknown for all teams is whether the DH will remain in the National League this season. That's especially relevant for the Mets, who could be forced to put Dom Smith in left field. If the club was to sign Bradley, they would have a playing time crunch on their hands with Brandon Nimmo on their roster. But that talks are continuing suggests that the Mets are still optimistic the DH will be in place come Opening Day.

C. Hernández - 2B

CLE

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Indians have re-signed second baseman Cesar Hernandez, pending a physical.

Daniel Alvarez Montes of El Extra Base was first to note that the two sides were close. Per Zack Meisel of The Athletic, it's a one-year deal with a club option for 2022. With Hernandez coming back, this could be a sign that the Indians want to try the recently-acquired Amed Rosario in the outfield. Hernandez, 30, batted .283/.355/.408 with three home runs and 20 RBI over 58 games during the 2020 campaign.

T. Bauer - SP

Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that the Mets have offered free agent right-hander Trevor Bauer a contract which would make him baseball's highest-paid player by average annual value (AAV).

The specifics aren't known, but the deal would be "much shorter in length" than Gerrit Cole's nine-year, $324 million contract with the Yankees, which gives him the current record of $36 million AAV. Nightengale reports that the Mets made the offer in "recent weeks" and have stayed in close contact while evaluating his social media history and the potential fallout involved given Jared Porter's recent dismissal for sending illicit text messages to a female reporter. If the deal is completed, it would likely push the Mets past the $210 million luxury tax threshold. Nightengale writes that the team is still considering other options, but that they look like the "clear favorites" to land Bauer at this time.

B. Mitchell - SP

CWS

Phillies signed RHP Bryan Mitchell to a minor league contract.

Mitchell spent last season at the alternate site for the White Sox, but he's previously pitched for the Padres and Yankees. There's a connection here with Joe Girardi from his time in New York, so it makes sense that he found a home here. The 29-year-old will offer some bullpen depth for Philly.

N/A

Y. Puig - RF

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Marlins are not in on free agent outfielder Yasiel Puig.

Puig has been tied to Miami by multiple outlets -- and the Marlins reportedly offered him an incentive-driven deal a year ago -- but it seems that ship has now sailed. The 30-year-old essentially missed the entire 2020 MLB season after reaching a tentative agreement with the Braves in July and then promptly coming down with COVID-19. He did play well in limited action in the Dominican Winter League and put up a decent .785 OPS with 24 home runs, 84 RBI, 19 stolen bases, and 76 runs scored over 149 games with the Reds and Indians in 2019.
