'Cutch had been on track to miss the first few weeks of the season as he eased back into things following left ACL surgery, but he's been working out and has plenty of time to get ready now. "Now I know, whenever the time comes and we're playing again, I'll be ready to go," he said. "I'm really gonna be itching to get out on the field and play but right now I just need to take care of business and take advantage of this time."

K. Hernández - 2B

LA

According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the Red Sox and Enrique Hernandez have agreed to a two-year, $14 million contract.

Feinsand reported earlier that the two sides had reached a multi-year deal, and now we have the duration and the financial terms. Hernandez may function as the primary second baseman for the Red Sox, though he's likely to see action all over the diamond. He should be able to provide nice late-round power from a middle infield spot in fantasy leagues, but don't expect much from him in terms of stolen bases or batting average.

G. Richards - SP

FA

Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports that the Red Sox are in active discussions with free agent right-hander Garrett Richards.

Morosi notes that the Red Sox are one of multiple teams that's currently talking to the 32-year-old hurler. Richards managed to stay healthy for the 2020 season, posting a 4.03 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 46/17 K/BB ratio across 51 1/3 innings with the Padres. He would represent a definite upgrade to the backend of the Red Sox rotation entering the 2021 campaign, though his fantasy value would take a hit moving to the American League East.

K. Hernández - 2B

LA

Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports that the Red Sox have signed Enrique Hernandez to a multi-year contract.

No word yet on the financial terms of the pact. The versatile 29-year-old and lefty-masher currently projects as the favorite to start at second base for the Red Sox, though his overall fantasy upside is muted by his middling batting average and complete lack of speed. He has been an interesting value outside the top 450 picks in early draft champions leagues, but expect his draft stock to rise around 100 picks or so based on this news. Hernandez hit .230/.270/.410 with five homers and 20 RBI in 148 plate appearances for the Dodgers in 2020.

H. Castellanos - RP

HOU

Astros designated RHP Humberto Castellanos for assignment.

The Astros needed to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Jason Castro and Castellanos was the odd-man out. They'll need to repeat the exercise once Michael Brantley's deal becomes official. There's a good chance that Castellanos will pass through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as organizational bullpen depth for the Astros.

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.
