CARDINALS TEAM NEWS CENTER

Yadier Molina - C

St. Louis Cardinals

Yadier Molina told ESPN's Marly Rivera that he will consider testing the free agent market after 2020.

Added Apr 29 8:32 am (EST)

Molina was reportedly discussing a contract extension with the Cardinals back in mid-March, just before spring training was suspended amid the coronavirus outbreak, but the two parties obviously never finalized anything and the future Hall of Fame catcher is currently scheduled to become a free agent in November. "Obviously, St. Louis is my first option," said Molina. "But if they don't sign me, then I'm willing to go into free agency. This situation has changed my mentality and all I want to do is play ... right now, I'm thinking of playing two more years." Yadi turns 38 years old in July.

J. Quintana - SP

LAA

Angels signed LHP Jose Quintana to a one-year, $8 million contract.

The deal was agreed to earlier in the week and finally became official on Friday after Quintana passed his physical. The 32-year-old southpaw should open the 2021 season in the Angels' starting rotation as long as he's healthy and doesn't completely fall on his face during spring training. He logged just 10 innings during the 2020 season due to a lingering lat injury -- registering a 4.50 ERA and 12/3 K/BB ratio for the Cubs.

Y. Alvarez - LF

HOU

Astros general manager James Click said Friday that Yordan Alvarez (knee) is progressing nicely in his recovery from arthroscopic surgery on both of his knees.

Click told reporters, "Everything we've seen so far in the rehab has been very positive". He also noted that there's a possibility that Alvarez could see some time in the outfield during the season, though that would be a conversation that they'll have during the spring. Alvarez was cleared to resume running in early November and so far has been able to avoid any setbacks. He's expected to be healthy and ready to rock for Opening Day.

J. Castro - C

HOU

Astros signed C Jason Castro to a two-year, $7 million contract.

The 33-year-old backstop returns to the team that originally drafted him (10th overall) in 2008 and where he spent his first seven big league campaigns (2010-2016). He'll share the load behind the plate with Martin Maldonado, though neither projects to be a very useful fantasy option outside of deep two-catcher formats.

K. Hernández - 2B

LA

Jon Morosi of MLB.com reports that the Red Sox and Enrique Hernandez have "made progress on a deal" and it "could be complete before the weekend is over."

Chris Cotillo of MassLive reported Thursday that things could be "heating up" between Hernandez and the Red Sox and it sounds like the two sides might cross the finish line soon. Hernandez would immediately become the favorite to start at second base for the Red Sox, although he obviously offers the versatility to fill in at other positions, as well. The 29-year-old is a career .240/.313/.425 hitter across parts of seven seasons.

H. Perez - SP

TOR

Reds acquired RHP Héctor Pérez from the Blue Jays for a player to be named later or cash.

The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the impending addition of George Springer. Perez -- who was acquired by the Blue Jays from the Astros in the Roberto Osuna trade -- throws hard and can miss some bats, but he's always struggled with his control as a pro. He's been used both as a starter and reliever.

R. Zimmerman - 1B

FA

Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that the Nationals are re-signing Ryan Zimmerman to a one-year, $1 million contract.

The Nats traded for Josh Bell last month, but Zimmerman offers an alternative at first base against left-handed pitching (and in the designated hitter spot, if it's available). Zimmerman, 36, re-signed with the Nationals on a one-year deal last offseason, as well, before ultimately choosing to opt out of the season. He's played all 15 of his season with Washington and in 2021 he'll make it 16.

M. Ozuna - RF

FA

Hector Gomez of Deportivo Z 101 in the Dominican Republic reports that Marcell Ozuna is seeking a four-plus year contract and has drawn interest from the Red Sox, Yankees, Dodgers, Mets, Twins and Brewers.

Noticeably absent from that list of teams is the Braves, a club that was the beneficiary of Ozuna's monster 2020 season which saw him post a .338/.431/.636 batting line with 18 home runs and 56 RBI over 60 games. For what it's worth Braves president Alex Anthopoulos said early in the offseason that the team would "love" to re-sign Ozuna. That was three months ago, though. The general consensus is that Ozuna is more of a designated hitter at this point in his career, but it would seem he's drawing interest from clubs in both leagues.

N. Cruz - DH

FA

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Twins have increased the dollar amount of their one-year offer to Nelson Cruz.

However, Heyman adds that "multiple NL teams are showing interest" in Cruz and the slugger is "waiting to see if a universal DH is adopted." Cruz is 40 but is said to be seeking a two-year contract this offseason, and if there is a universal DH it seems likely that some club will bite on the two years. He put together a .303/.397/.595 batting line with 16 homers in 214 plate appearances last season.
