A. Nola - SP

PHI

Phillies manager Joe Girardi said Monday that Aaron Nola is "definitely a possibility" for the team's Opening Day start on July 24 against the Marlins.

Nola was late arriving to summer camp after being exposed to someone with COVID-19, but he has cleared all of the necessary hurdles within MLB's testing protocol and he looked sharp in an intrasquad game Monday at Citizens Bank Park. The 27-year-old is being drafted as the 11th starter off the board right now in the average Yahoo league. He registered a 3.87 ERA and 229/80 K/BB ratio in 202 1/3 innings last season.

M. Moreland - 1B

Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports that the Red Sox "have had some talks" with Mitch Moreland about a possible reunion.

Moreland became a free agent back in early November after the Padres declined his $3 million option for 2021. The 35-year-old got off to a great start last summer with the Red Sox before getting traded to San Diego ahead of the August 31 deadline and struggling mightly down the stretch. He could now maybe return to Boston as the left-handed-hitting part of a first base platoon with the right-handed-hitting Bobby Dalbec.

J. Hader - RP

MIL

According to FanSided's Robert Murray, the Brewers continue to listen to trade offers on Josh Hader.

Murray adds, however, that the asking price remains "overwhelming" for the 26-year-old left-handed reliever, who owns a dominant 2.54 ERA, 0.858 WHIP, and 380 strikeouts in 223 2/3 career major league innings. Hader just avoided salary arbitration with Milwaukee earlier this month on a one-year, $6.675 million contract. As it stands right now, he is under the club's control through the end of the 2023 season.

C. Shaw - LF

BAL

Orioles designated 1B/OF Chris Shaw for assignment.

Baltimore claimed Shaw off waivers from the Giants in November, but he apparently won't last the winter. This move was made to clear a roster spot for Freddy Galvis, who's been signed to a one-year, $1.5 million deal.

F. Galvis - SS

BAL

Orioles signed INF Freddy Galvis to a one-year, $1.5 million contract.

The agreement, which has already been formally announced by the Orioles, includes a $250,000 bonus in the event that Galvis is traded. He batted .220/.308/.404 with seven home runs in 47 games last season with the Reds while playing decent up-the-middle defense at both shortstop and second base. Galvis projects to serve as the new primary starter at short in Baltimore, at least to begin the 2021 campaign.

M. Carasiti - RP

Red Sox signed RHP Matt Carasiti to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Carasiti underwent Tommy John surgery last March, so he did not pitch in 2020. The 29-year-old native of Connecticut holds a career 7.46 ERA and 27/16 K/BB ratio in 25 1/3 total innings at the MLB level.

M. Semien - SS

TOR

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that free agent infielder Marcus Semien is headed to the Blue Jays.

It's a one-year, $18 million contract, per ESPN's Jeff Passan. Semien finished third in the AL MVP voting in 2019 with an .892 OPS, 33 home runs, 92 RBI, 10 stolen bases, and 123 runs scored in 162 games for the A's before stumbling to a .223/.305/.374 slash line with Oakland during the condensed 2020 campaign. The 30-year-old will take a sort of prove-it deal and join a Jays lineup that keeps looking better and better. He is expected to play second base in Toronto after spending the last several years at shortstop.

N/A

E. Rosario - LF

FanSided's Robert Murray reports that the Brewers have shown interest in free agent outfielder Eddie Rosario.

Rosario's market will grow significantly if MLB and the MLBPA agree to keep the universal DH intact for 2021, so he's probably waiting impatiently on that decision like the rest of the baseball world. The 29-year-old doesn't play great defense, but he boasts a .281 batting average and .810 OPS in 2,002 plate appearances since the beginning of 2017 and has averaged 33 homers and 103 RBI for every 162 games played over that span.

S. Patton - RP

Spencer Patton recently threw for teams at a free agent showcase, per FanSided's Robert Murray.

Murray hears that the Braves, Royals, Angels, Giants, Rays, and Rangers are among the teams with interest in the 32-year-old right-hander, who is aiming to return to Major League Baseball after a four-year run in Japan. Patton posted a 4.92 ERA and 65/27 K/BB ratio in 53 innings last season with the Yokohama Bay Stars.

A. Simmons - SS

According to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand and Todd Zolecki, the Phillies' focus has shifted to adding a shortstop -- specifically free agent Andrelton Simmons.

With the J.T. Realmuto saga in the rearview, the Phillies probably have a far better overall idea as to what they can spend on additional pieces. Simmons would obviously be a great pickup for defensive purposes and could help a pitching staff in Philly that currently looks a little top-heavy. That said, the 31-year-old four-time Gold Glove Award winner holds an underwhelming .269/.317/.379 career major league batting line and he hit zero home runs in 30 games (127 plate appearances) last season with the Angels.

J. Turner - 3B

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Brewers are "one of two mystery teams" showing interest in free agent third baseman Justin Turner.

Heyman notes that the Dodgers, Blue Jays, and one other mystery team are "in the derby" and that Turner has narrowed down his possible landing spots to a final four. It still seems like Los Angeles should be the favorite, but Milwaukee does make quite a bit of sense if the willingness to spend is there. Turner, 36, posted a strong .307/.400/.460 batting line over 42 games (175 plate appearances) last summer for the 2020 World Series champions. He went 8-for-25 (.320) with two home runs and four doubles in the Fall Classic.

N/A

M. Gonzalez - 3B

According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, the Red Sox remain in on free agent utilityman Marwin Gonzalez.

Boston just landed maybe the top utilityman on the open market in Enrique Hernandez, but he projects to fill a starting role -- probably at second base. Gonzalez should be a relatively inexpensive option to serve as a backup or platoon option in more of a roving gig. The 31-year-old slashed .211/.286/.320 over 199 plate appearances for the Twins in 2020 while appearing defensively at second, third, first, and right field.
