Austin Adams - RP

Seattle Mariners

Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said Saturday that Austin Adams (knee) has a chance to be ready whenever Opening Day arrives.

Added Apr 12 11:13 am (EST)

Adams had surgery last October to repair a torn left ACL and has progressed well since then. “He is moving quickly in his rehab,” Dipoto said. “Like most things he does, he’s been very aggressive. He’s already throwing, and the last update was he’s running at 100 percent in 30-yard increments. His stop-and-start is where it needs to be.” Adams was excellent during his time with the Mariners last season and could be in the mix for saves in 2020.

J. Realmuto - C

FA

According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, the Phillies are "believed" to be offering J.T. Realmuto about $110 million.

That's presumably over a five-year term. Realmuto may be the next big domino to fall in this slow-moving free agent market after outfielder George Springer landed with the Blue Jays late Tuesday night on a six-year, $150 million pact. The 29-year-old catcher has been linked to Toronto at various times this winter, but that ship has probably now sailed. He delivered an .840 OPS with 11 home runs, 32 RBI, four stolen bases, and 33 runs scored over 47 games (195 plate appearances) for Philadelphia during the condensed 2020 campaign.

K. Yates - RP

FA

Blue Jays signed RHP Kirby Yates to a one-year, $5.5 million contract.

The deal contains $4.5 million in performance incentives based on games pitched. If he gets into 35 games this year with the Jays, the salary will climb to $8.5 million. And if he appears in 70 games, he can earn a full $10 million. Yates was limited to six appearances last season with the Padres due to an elbow issue that eventually required arthroscopic surgery, but the 33-year-old right-hander is said to be healthy now and projects to take over the closer role for Toronto in 2021. He registered a dominant 1.67 ERA, 0.906 WHIP, and 191/30 K/BB ratio in 123 2/3 innings with San Diego between 2018-2019 while tallying a total of 53 saves in that span.

C. Devenski - RP

HOU

Diamondbacks signed RHP Chris Devenski to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

MLB.com's Mark Feinsand was first to report news of the agreement and now Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic passes along the contract terms. It's a non-guaranteed deal that will pay Devenski a $1 million salary, with another $350,000 in possible incentives, if he is able to crack the Diamondbacks' major league roster. The 30-year-old former AL All-Star surrendered six earned runs over just 3 2/3 innings last season with the Astros before undergoing surgery in September to remove a bone spur from his right elbow.

C. Devenski - RP

HOU

MLB.com's Mark Feinsand reports that Chris Devenski has agreed to a deal with the Diamondbacks.

Financial details of the contract have not been revealed, though it figures to be a one-year pact with a fairly low base salary. Devenski was a highly effective reliever in his first two major league seasons (2016-2017) but has registered a combined 4.88 ERA in 120 innings since the beginning of 2018. The 30-year-old right-hander required arthroscopic surgery this past September to remove a bone spur from his pitching elbow.

M. Brantley - LF

FA

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Blue Jays are "still trying" for free agent outfielder Michael Brantley.

They just agreed to a reported six-year, $150 million contract with George Springer, but the Jays apparently aren't done spending on bats. Brantley, 33, could be a good option for Toronto at DH, a role he filled 26 times last season with the Astros while delivering an overall .300/.364/.476 batting line with 20 extra-base hits (five home runs, 15 doubles) in 187 plate appearances. Rosenthal notes that Springer and Brantley are "close friends" and also happen to be represented by the same agency, Excel Sports Management. TSN's Scott Mitchell adds that "there's legit legs" to the two heading to Toronto as a sort of "package deal."

J. Quintana - SP

LAA

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Angels are signing free agent left-hander Jose Quintana.

It's a one-year, $8 million deal and is only pending a physical, per Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports. Quintana made just one start and three relief appearances last season with the Cubs, mostly due to a lingering lat injury, and he holds an underwhelming 4.67 ERA and 164/49 K/BB ratio over his last 181 innings since the beginning of the 2019 campaign. But the soon-to-be 32-year-old represents a nice depth addition for an Angels pitching staff that badly needs it and he could be a bounceback candidate in 2021 with improved health.

G. Springer - CF

TOR

ESPN's Jeff Passan confirms that the Blue Jays are in agreement on a deal with outfielder George Springer.

In retrospect, Brendon Kuhn of the Blue Jays Nation blog actually had the news first, with Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic providing the financials: six years, $150 million -- the richest contract in franchise history. Springer is headed to the team's spring training complex in Dunedin, Florida and it will all be official after he passes the necessary pre-signing physical exam. This should prove to be a huge fantasy boost -- and obviously real-life boost, too -- for the entire lineup in Toronto. The 31-year-old three-time American League All-Star has produced a .284/.376/.576 slash line (.953 OPS) with 53 home runs and 128 RBI over his last 173 games dating back to the beginning of 2019. He mostly hit leadoff for the Astros and should do the same with the Jays.

G. Springer - CF

TOR

MLB.com's Jon Morosi reports that the Blue Jays are now the "frontrunners" to sign George Springer.

Morosi also acknowledges that a couple of Twitter users, one a Sportsnet employee, have stated that the Jays and Springer are already in agreement. Joel Sherman of the New York Post, meanwhile, is hearing that the two sides are "closing in" on a deal. This could fully come together within the next 24 hours, and perhaps even sometime late Tuesday night. Springer was a target of the Mets as well, but it seems their primary focus has shifted to a long-term contract extension for star shortstop Francisco Lindor, who was acquired from Cleveland earlier this month. Springer, 31, registered an .899 OPS with 14 home runs and 32 RBI over 51 games with the Astros in 2020 and is said to be steering toward a free agent contract worth more than $125 million.
