The Mets say that the operation went as anticipated, with ESPN's Jeff Passan adding that Syndergaard is expected to be sidelined for 12-14 months. Realistically, a best-case scenario for the right-hander probably has him making it back around the 2021 All-Star break in what will be his walk year.

C. Hinojosa - SS

MIL

Astros signed INF C.J. Hinojosa to a minor league contract.

Hinojosa, 26, spent last year playing in the independent Constellation Energy League and slashed just .222/.306/.302 in 22 games. He is a native of Houston and went to the University of Texas at Austin.

M. Brantley - LF

HOU

Astros re-signed OF Michael Brantley to a two-year, $32 million contract.

Brantley drew strong interest this winter from a number of other teams, most notably the Blue Jays, but he ultimately decided to return to Houston on a deal that looks extremely similar to the one he signed there two offseasons ago. The 33-year-old boasts a .309/.370/.497 batting line with 27 home runs and 112 RBI over his last 194 games since the beginning of 2019 and should remain a reliable high-OBP presence in the heart of the Astros' lineup. He spent a lot of time at DH last summer, but the hope is that Yordan Alvarez (knees) will be back in the fold to handle that role in 2021, with Brantley commanding the majority of the starts in left field.

J. Hudson - C

SEA

Pirates signed C Joe Hudson to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Hudson became a free agent in October after spending the 2020 season with the Mariners. The 29-year-old is 5-for-30 (.167) over just 18 career games in the majors and will give the Pirates some depth behind the plate heading into camp.

T. Bauer - SP

FA

Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports that the Mets "continue to be engaged" on free agent starter Trevor Bauer.

Martino adds that an agreement is not close and other clubs are involved. Still, the Mets' interest appears to be real. Signing Bauer could push the Mets up against the $210 million luxury tax threshold, but that might not be much of a setback for new owner Steve Cohen. After all, it has been treated as a salary cap by MLB teams when in reality it's not that at all. The question is whether the Mets feel adding a talented pitcher like Bauer would be worth the public blowback when they could spend their cash to add a center fielder, a reliever, and an extra infielder, fitting with their needs. Stay tuned.

F. German - SP

NYY

Red Sox acquired RHP Frank German from the Yankees in the Adam Ottavino trade.

Ottavino is the big name here, but given Boston will pay most of the money left on his deal, odds are they wouldn't have done this one without landing an interesting prospect. German, 23, was a fourth-round pick of the Yankees in 2018 and holds a 3.56 ERA with 128 strikeouts and 44 walks over his first 111 1/3 innings in pro ball. He throws hard, but he'll have to make progress with his control to avoid a move to the bullpen.

A. Ottavino - RP

NYY

Red Sox acquired RHPs Adam Ottavino and Frank German and cash considerations from the Yankees for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

It's a pure cash-dump for the Yankees, who are looking to stay under the $210 luxury tax threshold while adding some other pieces. Brett Gardner is one possibility. Ottavino is still owed $8 million this season and a $3 million signing bonus which is deferred to 2022, but Boston will cover most of that. According to Buster Olney of ESPN, the Yankees are paying just $850,00 as part of the trade. As for the Red Sox, they managed to buy a prospect as well as a pitcher who is capable of a rebound. Ottavino could very well be saving games for Boston this season. And if he bounces back, he could be an interesting trade chip in the final year of his deal.

J. Turner - 3B

FA

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Dodgers "remain optimistic" they can re-sign third baseman Justin Turner.

The Dodgers have been mentioned throughout, but Heyman writes that they'd prefer a two-year deal while Turner wants more in what could be his final major contract. One report earlier this month suggested he wants a four-year deal, which sounds like a stretch for a 36-year-old. Heyman writes that Turner has four possibilities at the moment, including the Blue Jays.

J. Bradley Jr. - CF

FA

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Red Sox are still interested in free agent outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr.

The Red Sox have kept Bradley on their radar, but they've only recently become aggressive in regard to player movement. Odds are his market will accelerate in the coming days. Bradley has also been connected to the Mets, Phillies, and Astros.
