J. Turner - 3B

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Dodgers "remain optimistic" they can re-sign third baseman Justin Turner.

The Dodgers have been mentioned throughout, but Heyman writes that they'd prefer a two-year deal while Turner wants more in what could be his final major contract. One report earlier this month suggested he wants a four-year deal, which sounds like a stretch for a 36-year-old. Heyman writes that Turner has four possibilities at the moment, including the Blue Jays.

J. Bradley Jr. - CF

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Red Sox are still interested in free agent outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr.

The Red Sox have kept Bradley on their radar, but they've only recently become aggressive in regard to player movement. Odds are his market will accelerate in the coming days. Bradley has also been connected to the Mets, Phillies, and Astros.

T. Cingrani - RP

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that free agent left-hander Tony Cingrani will throw for teams on February 1.

Cingrani failed to latch on with a team last year after requiring labrum surgery in 2019. The 31-year-old last pitched for the Dodgers in 2018, posting a 4.76 ERA with 36 strikeouts and six walks in 22 2/3 relief innings. He might have to settle for a spring training invite somewhere.

J. Wilson - RP

Jon Heyman of MLB Network believes that the Mets may turn to Justin Wilson after failing to sign Brad Hand.

The Mets were considered serious contenders -- at one point possibly the favorite -- to sign Hand at one point, but reports indicate that he'll be heading to Washington and the Nationals. Wilson appeared in 68 games over the last two years, and he registered a 2.91 ERA and 67/28 K/BB ratio in 58 2/3 innings. He'd be a bridge to Edwin Diaz if he did return to the Mets.

Y. Puig - RF

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that there's "no evidence" the Yankees are interested in Yasiel Puig.

Puig has been connected to the Yanks a couple times this offseason, including on Saturday by Jim Bowden of The Athletic. However, the fit doesn't really make sense since the club is already loaded with right-handed hitting outfielders. The Bombers are looking for a left-handed hitting outfielder, and a reunion with Brett Gardner would seem to be the likeliest scenario.

A. Ramos - RP

COL

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that free agent reliever AJ Ramos has been drawing interest and will throw for teams on Tuesday.

Ramos made it back to the major leagues, surrendering one run on four hits with three walks and one strikeout over 2 2/3 frames (three appearances), with the Rockies during the 60-game sprint season last year. He missed nearly two full years after undergoing shoulder surgery during the 2018 campaign. The 34-year-old righty owns a pristine 3.08 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 427/203 K/BB ratio across 368 2/3 innings in his career. He'll compete for an Opening Day roster spot somewhere this spring.

J. Taillon - SP

NYY

Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports that the Yankees are in talks with the Pirates regarding right-hander Jameson Taillon.

Well, that escalated quickly. Feinsand reported earlier that Taillon could be the next player jettisoned by the rebuilding Pirates in the next day or two as they embark on their full-scale teardown. He also notes that nothing is done yet, but the Pinstripes appear to be emerging as the frontrunners to deal for him. Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the two teams have been discussing a potential deal over the last few days, while Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette adds that his sources indicate the Pirates have been weighing offers from multiple teams. The 28-year-old righty missed the entire 2020 season after undergoing the second Tommy John surgery of his professional career. He's expected to be fully healthy and ready to go for the start of the upcoming 2021 campaign. He owns a 3.67 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 419/117 K/BB ratio over 466 innings (82 starts) in his major-league career.

B. Hand - RP

WSH

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

NYY

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.

B. Hand - RP

WSH

Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports that free agent left-hander Brad Hand is nearing a decision and expected to sign soon.

Feinsand notes that Hand could make a decision before the end of the weekend. While his velocity and some of the underlying metrics hinted at trouble in 2019, Hand posted a brilliant 2.05 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 29/4 K/BB ratio while recording a league-high 16 saves in 22 innings for the Indians. The Angels, Blue Jays, Dodgers, Astros, White Sox and Mets have all expressed interest at some point this offseason. Hand's fantasy value for the 2021 season will be tied to where he lands and whether or not he winds up in the closer's role.

T. Bauer - SP

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that while the Mets have interest in right-hander Trevor Bauer, it's likely on a short-term deal of four years or fewer.

The Dodgers are also interested in signing the right-hander to a short-term deal, though the general impression around the league is that Bauer is looking for a longer-term contract. The Angels continue to be the most logical destination for the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner, though the Blue Jays have met with him and could be in the mix as well.

Astros signed INF C.J. Hinojosa to a minor league contract.

Hinojosa, 26, spent last year playing in the independent Constellation Energy League and slashed just .222/.306/.302 in 22 games. He is a native of Houston and went to the University of Texas at Austin.

Theo Maledon will make his first NBA start on Monday, getting the nod in front of George HIll at Portland.

Deep leaguers may want to take a quick flier on Maledon and managers in standard leagues should pay close attention and see how he does tonight. If his move to the starting five is permanent he could become a hot pickup. Especially if he plays well tonight.

D. Russell - PG

MIN

D'Angelo Russell (quad contusion) has been ruled out for Monday night's contest vs the Warriors.

Russell was questionable coming into tonight's meeting with his former team and will now miss his second straight game with a quad contusion. The Wolves next game is Wednesday and hopefully, he'll be back in the lineup by then. Ricky Rubio will start again with D-Lo sidelined while Jordan McLaughlin will run assume backup point guard duties.

James Wiseman will come off the bench as Kevon Looney will get the start for the Warriors on Monday.

We're not sure why this is happening, but Steve Kerr is mixing up his starting lineup with this move. Even though the Wolves don't really start a center with Karl-Anthony Towns unavailable, it sounds like this lineup change could be semi-permanent. Hopefully, Wiseman's minutes don't change too much, but there's a chance he and Looney have switched roles.

D. Sabonis - PF

IND

Domantas Sabonis will not return to Monday's game after suffering a left knee contusion.

The good news is X-Rays didn't reveal any structural damage on his knee, per Woj, and he walked off under his own power and he basically just banged knees with another player. The bad news is that it's serious enough to keep one of the league's best players out of the game, and we'll know more Tuesday following an MRI. Myles Turner should continue to go off, Doug McDermott should continue to start at power forward for now and Goga Bitazde is going to get a lot of minutes for as long as Sabonis is out. The Pacers play at Charlotte on Wednesday and managers have to keep their fingers crossed that Sabonis will be able to play in that one.
