M. Freeman - SS

CLE

Indians sent INF Mike Freeman outright to Triple-A Columbus.

The 33-year-old played all over the diamond for the Indians in 2020 -- he logged at-bats at five different positions, plus DH, this year -- but his .237/.302/.316 line in 43 plate appearances leaves something to be desired. He is just a year removed from hitting .277/.362/.390 in 75 games, so perhaps a team will see fit to grab him off waivers in hopes of capturing some of that usefulness.

Added 8:51 am (EST)

N/A

R. Healy - 3B

MIL

Brewers sent INF Ryon Healy outright to Triple-A San Antonio.

Healy actually batted cleanup for the Brewers in one of his two starts, but he finished with just one hit in seven at-bats during his time with the big club. It's been years since the 28-year-old showed an above-average ability with the bat, but perhaps he'll find a major league job this winter with MLB clubs focused more on cost savings than actually putting a winning product on the field.

Added 8:43 am (EST)

N/A

R. Sánchez - RP

STL

Cardinals sent LHP Ricardo Sanchez outright to Triple-A Memphis.

After it was revealed a few days ago that the southpaw had Tommy John surgery in mid-September, this would be classified as adding insult to injury. The 23-year-old owned a 6.75 ERA and 1.88 WHIP in 5 1/3 innings for the Cardinals before his injury.

Added 8:41 am (EST)

N/A

N. Crismatt - RP

STL

Cardinals sent RHP Nabil Crismatt outright to Triple-A Memphis.

Crismatt actually pitched decently for the Cardinals in 2020, posting a 3.24 ERA and 0.84 WHIP in six appearances, but apparently the club has better use for his spot on the 40-man roster. We'll see if another team finds reason to claim the 25-year-old.

Added 8:36 am (EST)

N/A

J. Nelson - SP

Dodgers declined RHP Jimmy Nelson's $2 million option for 2021.

Instead, the oft-injured right-hander will receive a $500,000 buyout. Nelson underwent surgery on his lower back in early July and missed the entire 2020 sprint season. Once considered one of the top starting pitchers in the National League, Nelson has logged a total of 22 innings at the big league level since the 2017 season. Still, he'll make for an intriguing low-cost reclamation project in free agency this winter.

N/A

A. Rizzo - 1B

CHI

The Cubs are expected to pick up the 2021 option on first baseman Anthony Rizzo.

The team has yet to make an official announcement -- and has until Saturday to do so -- but it's believed that they will pick up Rizzo's $16.5 million option for 2021. The 31-year-old had a down year offensively in 2020, slashing just .222/.342/.414 with 11 homers and 24 RBI in 58 games. If they wind up declining the option, they'll owe Rizzo a $2 million buyout.

Added Yesterday 7:30 pm (EST)

N/A

R. Brothers - RP

CHI

Cubs sent LHP Rex Brothers outright to Triple-A Iowa.

The 32-year-old hurler only appeared in three games for the Cubs in 2020, posting an underwhelming 8.10 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 8/3 K/BB ratio over 3 1/3 innings. Assuming that he accepts the outright assignment, Brothers will continue to function as organizational bullpen depth for the Cubs in 2021.

Added Yesterday 7:25 pm (EST)

N/A

M. Schrock - SS

CHI

Cubs claimed INF Max Schrock off of waivers from the Cardinals.

The 26-year-old appeared in 11 games for the Cardinals in 2020, slashing just .176/.176/.353 with a homer, one RBI and a 6/0 K/BB ratio. He'll add infield depth for the Cubs and could have a shot at competing for a utility role on the club's Opening Day roster in 2021.
