FOX Sports reports that the Marlins have discussed pursuing Yoenis Cespedes on a short term deal as per Ken Rosenthal.
Marlins President David Samson said Tuesday that the club has no interest in signing Yoenis Cespedes as per Bob Nightengale. So which is it???
Yankees and RHP Nathan Eovaldi avoided arbitration by agreeing to a 1 year 5.6 million contract as per Chad Jenning.
MLB Network reports that the Marlins are considering free agent right-handers Doug Fister and Alfredo Simon as per Jon Heyman.
I was wondering when someone was going to take an interest in Fister. Before injuries limited him to only 103 innings last season where he went 5-7 with a 4.19 ERA people forget that he finished in the top 10 CY voting the year before when he went 16-6 with a 2.41 ERA for the Nats.
MLB Network reports that the Astros and Orioles are among the teams showing interest in free agent right-hander Yovani Gallardo as per Jon Heyman.
Mets owner Fred Wilpon indicated that the team remains in touch with the camp of free agent Yoenis Cespedes as per Jon Heyman.
USA Today reports that while the White Sox remain interested in free agent outfielder Yoenis Cespedes the team doesn't want to offer more than 3 years as per Bob Nightengale.
FOX Sports reports that the Nationals are "pursuing" free agent Yoenis Cespedes and have made him an offer as per Ken Rosenthal.
^^^my guess is that considering the Nats reputation for questionable decisions and contracts, they probably offered Cespedes 4 years or more.
Tampa Bay Times reports that the Rays have signed Steve Pearce to a 1 year contract as per Marc Tompkin.
Aroldis Chapman will not face criminal charges in Davie, Florida for his October domestic incident as per South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Speaking of Chapman I still don't see the Yankees hanging onto BOTH he & Miller. Also The Yankees & Chapman are about $4M apart in arbitration.
...I think maybe that now he's been "cleared", it makes him much more attractive to the Yanx, as well as possible trade suitors.
