Borucki came down with some soreness in his surgically-repaired left elbow back in mid-February, but he resumed throwing bullpen sessions late last month and should be fully healthy whenever the 2020 regular season finally gets underway. The 26-year-old southpaw holds a career 4.31 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and 73/39 K/BB ratio in 104 1/3 total innings (19 starts) at the major league level.

K. Wong - 2B

STL

Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports that the Blue Jays are showing interest in Kolten Wong.

Morosi writes that that the Blue Jays will make signing Wong their top priority if they're unable to land DJ LeMahieu. With LeMahieu likely re-signing with the Yankees -- as Morosi also notes -- it sounds like the Blue Jays will try and wrap this up quickly. Wong is a free agent after the Cardinals declines his $12.5 million option for the 2021 season, and hasn't ruled out a return to St. Louis. The Angels have also expressed interest in the slick-fielding second baseman, so it'll be interesting to see what kind of contract the 30-year-old will be looking at -- and what team will give it to him, of course.

M. Minor - SP

OAK

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Royals have reached agreement with free agent left-hander Mike Minor.

Rosenthal writes that the deal is pending a physical, while Jeff Passan of ESPN notes that it's a two-year contract. It's a return to Kansas City for the left-hander, who posted a 2.55 ERA in 65 relief appearances for the Royals in 2016. He's been a starter since, and while he struggled to a 5.56 ERA in 2020 in 12 starts for the Rangers and Athletics -- the latter after a deadline deal -- he was excellent in 2019 with a 3.59 ERA, 200 strikeouts and 1.24 WHIP in 32 starts for Texas in 2019. Assuming he passes the physical, he should pitch near the top of the Royals' rotation in 2021, and could provide some fantasy appeal if he's close to the same hurler he was the previous season.

M. Rojas - RF

FA

Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors reports that Mel Rojas Jr. is drawing interest from three major league teams as well as three Japanese teams.

Rojas Jr. is in line to win the Korea Baseball Organization's MVP award after posting a ridiculous .349/.417/.680 batting line with 47 home runs and 135 RBI for the KT Wiz in 2020. The 30-year-old topped out in Triple-A in the states but has been a star in Korea over the last three and a half seasons. The Wiz would like to bring Rojas Jr. back and he has said that he will only go back to MLB if he gets a major league offer. He seems likely to be able to net one this winter.

The 30-year-old southpaw also pitched overseas in 2020, toeing the slab for the Rakuten Monkeys of the Chinese Baseball League.

G. Richards - SP

SD

According to Ben Nicholson-Smith and Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet, the Blue Jays have expressed interest in free agent right-hander Garrett Richards.

The Blue Jays seem to be doing their due diligence on all available starting pitchers this off-season, so it doesn't come as a big surprise that they would check in on Richards. After missing out on Kevin Gausman, the Jays are still in the market for at least one -- and possibly more -- upgrades to their rotation. Richards stayed healthy during the 2020 season, compiling a 4.03 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 46/17 K/BB ratio over 51 1/3 innings in 14 appearances (10 starts) with the Padres.

T. Williams - SP

PIT

Trevor Williams has elected free agency.

The 28-year-old right-hander refused his outright assignment to Triple-A Indianapolis and will instead peddle his wares on the open market. Williams served up a league-leading 15 home runs during the 2020 campaign, contributing to an underwhelming 6.18 ERA and 1.57 WHIP across 55 1/3 innings. Still, he has proven to be a valuable innings-eater over the past four seasons, so it's possible that he'll be able to land an incentive-laden major league deal this winter.

G. Springer - CF

HOU

Shi Davidi of Sportsnet hears the Blue Jays and free agent outfielder George Springer have "progressed beyond just talking" about an agreement.

Trying to parse what that means is anyone's guess, but it does sound as though there's at least some fire to the smoke that's been circulating regarding the Jays and Springer in recent weeks. It would be a huge boost for the Jays, of course, as the 31-year-old has been among the game's premier leadoff hitters -- and really, hitters in general, no caveats -- in recent years. In 51 games in the truncated 2020 season, Springer hit .265/.359/.540 with 14 homers, 32 RBI and 37 runs scored. The Blue Jays aren't the only team reportedly interested in the outfielder's services, but one might consider them a frontrunner at this stage.
