M. Gonzalez - 3B

Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports that the Red Sox would still like to add a left-handed bench bat this offseason.

Cotillo notes that free agents Marwin Gonzalez, Brad Miller and Mitch Moreland would fit the bill as left-handed complements to feast-or-famine free-swinger Bobby Dalbec at first base this season. Perhaps the most intriguing short-term option, Gonzalez has been connected to several teams including the Tigers and Twins in recent weeks. The Red Sox inked super utilityman Enrique Hernandez to a two-year, $14 million deal to fill their second base vacancy and don’t appear to be done adding to their lineup via free agency just yet.

D. Holland - RP

PIT

Tigers signed LHP Derek Holland to a minor league contract.

The club hasn't confirmed yet, but Holland made the announcement via his official Twitter page. The 34-year-old left-hander compiled a bloated 6.86 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 45/15 K/BB ratio across 40 2/3 innings over 12 appearances (five starts) with the Pirates last season. He'll compete for a spot in the Tigers' Opening Day bullpen and could serve as a swingman, oscillating between the starting rotation and long relief, this season.

A. Santander - RF

BAL

According to Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com the Orioles have had trade discussions with the Marlins regarding outfielder Anthony Santander.

Kubatko notes that the Orioles don't appear to be aggressively shopping Santander, but they'd be willing to move him in the right deal. The 26-year-old switch-hitting right fielder appeared to be on the verge of a full-scale breakout, trimming his strikeout rate and increasing his average launch angle to tap into additional raw power, during the truncated 2020 campaign. He posted a solid .261/.315/.575 triple-slash line with 11 round-trippers in 37 games, before suffering a season-ending oblique injury in early September. He's set to earn between $2.475 million and $2.1 million in his first year of arbitration this season and was one of only 13 players unable to come to terms with their club when exchanging salary figures last week. Santander could emerge as a logical cost-cutting move for the Orioles, who have cheaper alternatives like top prospect Yusniel Diaz waiting in the wings, and remain committed to keeping their payroll down as their extended rebuild continues.

D. Ward - 3B

WSH

Tigers signed INF Drew Ward to a minor league contract.

The 27-year-old third baseman spent the first seven seasons of his minor league career in the Nationals organization -- most recently hitting .269/.322/.513 with 18 homers and 66 RBI across three levels in 2019. He absolutely raked for the Fargo-Moorhead Hawks in the independent American Association in 2020, slashing .335/.407/.633 with 17 homers and 45 RBI in 58 games. He'll add corner infield depth for the Tigers.

B. Hand - RP

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Nationals have emerged as a possibility to sign free agent left-hander Brad Hand.

The Nationals don't have an experienced closer on their roster -- with Tanner Rainey currently the most likely candidate to fill that role -- so adding an accomplished veteran with ninth-inning experience seems like it would be a wise investment. With so many other teams believed to be in the mix though, it's unclear if the Nationals will be willing to match the highest offer. The Angels, Blue Jays, Dodgers, Astros, White Sox and Mets have all been linked to Hand at some point this offseason. Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reported Saturday that the southpaw could make his final decision before the end of the weekend.

J. Taillon - SP

PIT

Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports that there are indications that right-hander Jameson Taillon will be the next Pirates player to be traded -- and that it may happen in the next day or two.

The Pirates have already dealt Joe Musgrove and Josh Bell this offseason, so it wouldn't be a major surprise to see them shed Taillon as well as they attempt to perpetually rebuild. The 28-year-old righty missed the entire 2020 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, but is expected to be healthy and ready to go for the start of the 2021 campaign. He owns a 3.67 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 419/117 K/BB ratio over 466 innings in his big-league career. The Yankees are one team known to have interest in acquiring Taillon.

G. Richards - SP

BOS

Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that the Red Sox have reached an agreement on a one-year, $10 million contract with free agent right-hander Garrett Richards.

The deal is pending a physical. The two sides had talked earlier in the offseason, but momentum toward an agreement really started building on Friday. Richards adds another quality arm to a Red Sox rotation that lacked depth. The 32-year-old registered a 4.03 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 46/17 K/BB ratio over 51 1/3 innings for the Padres during the shortened 2020 season. His signing could bump Tanner Houck from the Opening Day rotation.
