G. Springer - CF

FA

According to Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith and Shi Davidi, the Blue Jays are "believed to be making a push" for free agent outfielder George Springer.

This comes on the heels of a somewhat similar report from MLB.com's Jon Morosi, who's heard from "multiple industry sources" that Springer could make a decision on where to sign this week. He's said to prefer to move close to his home state of Connecticut, and the Mets are known to be in the running, but the 31-year-old slugger figures to simply accept the richest contract he can find in the end. Springer registered a strong .899 OPS with 14 home runs and 32 RBI over 51 games with the Astros during the abbreviated 2020 regular season. And he put up a career-high .974 OPS with 39 home runs and 96 RBI in 122 games in 2019.

T. Chatwood - SP

FA

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that Tyler Chatwood has a deal in place with the Blue Jays.

Sportsnet's Shi Davidi hears that it's a one-year contract with $3 million in guaranteed money and another $2.5 million in performance-based incentives. Chatwood made just five starts last summer with the Cubs before going down with a season-ending injury to his right forearm in late August. He had a 5.30 ERA, 1.66 WHIP, and 25/9 K/BB ratio in 18 2/3 innings when he wasn't on the injured list. The 31-year-old could operate in a kind of swingman role for Toronto, working as both a long reliever and occasional spot starter.

J. Teheran - SP

FA

According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, the Mets will be present for the free agent showcase featuring Julio Teheran and Anibal Sanchez on Tuesday in Miami.

Even after adding Joey Lucchesi from the Padres on Monday, the Mets are still looking to pad their rotation depth. Teheran, 29, registered a brutal 10.05 ERA and 20/16 K/BB ratio over 31 1/3 innings (nine starts, one relief appearance) last season with the Angels and will presumably have to settle for an incentive-driven one-year deal for 2021. Sanchez, 36, had a 6.62 ERA and 43/18 K/BB ratio in 53 innings last year with the Nationals.

J. Lester - SP

WSH

ESPN's Jeff Passan confirms that the Nationals have signed Jon Lester to a one-year contract with a mutual option for 2022.

There's no word yet on the financial terms of the agreement, but those should be revealed shortly. Lester will slot into the Nats' rotation behind Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg, and Patrick Corbin as he looks to bounce back from the disappointing 5.16 ERA he posted in the final year of his six-year, $155 million deal with the Cubs. The veteran lefty probably shouldn't be counted on for useful fantasy production in his age-37 campaign.

J. Profar - LF

FA

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Padres are still trying to re-sign Jurickson Profar.

Padres GM A.J. Preller simply refuses to take a day off, and good for him. This offseason has presented a great opportunity for the few teams in Major League Baseball actively trying to improve. Profar put up a decent .278/.343/.428 batting line with seven home runs and seven stolen bases over 56 games last year for San Diego while appearing defensively at second base, first base, and all three outfield spots.

J. Lester - SP

WSH

Jon Lester is "in talks" with the Nationals, per Ken Rosenthal and Jon Greenberg of The Athletic.

Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times adds that the two sides are "closing in on a deal" and that it's "headed toward the finish line." Lester struggled to a 5.16 ERA in 61 innings (12 starts) last season with the Cubs, who then declined his $25 million option for 2021. The 37-year-old left-handed starter is probably nothing more than a depth piece at this point in his career, but the Nats could certainly use that depth.

J. Musgrove - SP

SD

ESPN's Jeff Passan reports that the Padres have acquired right-hander Joe Musgrove from the Pirates.

It will be a three-team, seven-player swap once all of the medical reviews are completed, with the Pirates getting OF prospect Hudson Head, LHP prospect Omar Cruz, RHP prospect Drake Fellows, and reliever David Bednar from the Friars. Joey Lucchesi, meanwhile, is headed to the Mets in exchange for 1B/OF/C prospect Endy Rodriguez. Musgrove registered a solid 3.86 ERA, 1.235 WHIP, and 55/16 K/BB ratio over 39 2/3 innings (eight starts) during the condensed 2020 season and will now join a beefed-up San Diego rotation that also features fellow offseason additions Blake Snell and Yu Darvish. The 28-year-old Musgrove avoided arbitration with the Bucs last week on a one-year, $4.45 million contract. He is under club control through 2022.

M. Semien - SS

FA

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Dodgers have considered free agent Marcus Semien for their opening at third base.

This could be a bit of a negotiating ploy as the Dodgers continue to discuss terms with Justin Turner. Semien hasn't played third base since back in 2014 with the White Sox and he struggled to a .223/.305/.374 batting line over 236 plate appearances with the Athletics in 2020. He did, however, enjoy the best year of his career in 2019. The 30-year-old infielder has also been connected to the Phillies, Reds, Red Sox, and A's.
