Junichi Tazawa - RP

Cincinnati Reds

Reds released RHP Junichi Tazawa.

Added Apr 02 1:34 pm (EST)

Baseball America

Tazawa was in Reds camp this spring on a non-guaranteed minor league contract after pitching to a 4.15 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 21 2/3 innings last season at the Triple-A level. The 33-year-old native of Japan posted a 2.62 ERA in 175 1/3 innings with the Red Sox between 2012-2014, but that feels like ages ago.

K. Hernández - 2B

LA

Chris Cotillo of MassLive reports that the Red Sox have had recent talks with Enrique Hernandez.

Cotillo reports that things could be "heating up" between the two parties, but that it's unknown if anything is close. Late in December, it was reported by Cotillo that they had expressed strong interest, and Jon Heyman of MLB Network noted that the Mets were in pretty strong on the utility player before the firing of Jared Porter. It sounds like this is a deal that could come down in the coming days, as Boston has a need for a player of Hernandez's skill set. Most teams do.

Y. Ríos - RP

PIT

Rays signed RHP Yacksel Rios to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Rios was designated for assignment and outrighted to Triple-A by the Pirates after the 2020 season, and he elected free agency. He owns a 6.36 ERA in 66 career MLB appearances, and will try and win one of the final spots in the Rays' bullpen this spring.

T. Chatwood - SP

FA

Blue Jays signed RHP Tyler Chatwood to a one-year, $3 million contract.

Chatwood can earn another $2.5 million in performance-based incentives. The right-hander has worked as both a starter and a reliever in his career, but all reports indicate that he'll be a bullpen option for Toronto in 2021. He'll likely pitch in a multi-inning role that won't provide much fantasy relevance this coming season.

A. Castro - SP

TOR

Blue Jays designated RHP Anthony Castro for assignment.

The Blue Jays needed to make room on the 40-man roster for newly-signed Tyler Chatwood. Castro was claimed on waivers from the Tigers on December 7, so his time with the Blue Jays could be very brief if he's claimed. If he's not, he'll be organizational depth over the 2021 campaign. That was the case before the DFA, anyway.

D. Robertson - RP

FA

David Robertson (elbow) threw his first bullpen session of the winter on Thursday.

Robertson missed all of last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The 35-year-old reliever is a free agent now with plans to hold a showcase for interested teams sometime in early February.

A. Wojciechowski - SP

BAL

Yankees signed RHP Asher Wojciechowski to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

The deal will pay him a $750,000 salary if he makes it to the big leagues, per USA Today's Bob Nightengale. Wojciechowski, 32, posted a rough 6.82 ERA, 1.62 WHIP, and 31/15 K/BB ratio in 37 innings of work (seven starts, three relief appearances) last season with the Orioles. He owns a career 5.95 ERA at the MLB level.

Brewers signed INF/OF Daniel Robertson to a one-year, $900,000 contract.

The deal was agreed to back on January 12 and has now been made official after Robertson passed the necessary pre-signing physical exam. A career .234/.342/.352 hitter in 855 total plate appearances at the major league level, the soon-to-be 27-year-old projects to operate in a super-utility role for Milwaukee in 2021.

A. Simmons - SS

FA

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Reds are among the "many teams" showing interest in free agent shortstop Andrelton Simmons.

Cincinnati definitely has a need at shortstop and Simmons would be a huge addition defensively. The 31-year-old slashed .297/.346/.356 with zero home runs and two stolen bases over 30 games (127 plate appearances) last summer for the Angels before opting out in September because of concerns about COVID-19.
