• The Brewers brought Mike Moustakas back on a year. This comes just months after Moustakas declined the $ 15 million mutual option with the club and opted for the free agency and a $ 1 million buyout instead.

• Marcus Stroman has very strong feelings about his club, saying the Blue Jays have "Nothing offered" with respect to long-term contracts. He also added that Toronto had not paid any attention to signing veteran confirmed players.

• Finally, one thing! The Yankees have hired Luis Severino for a long-term extension, keeping them ace for the coming season. This is especially important, as favorite CC Sabathia said this season would be his last in Major League Baseball.
• Well, we know at least one other team that is thinking of trying to catch Manny Machado like him and the Padres have apparently met in Miami recently. It's odd considering the timeline of the Padres and their best minor league, but it's hard to argue with a team in pursuit of one of the best players in the game.
• The Twins were busy last week locking up players. First, they were about to finalize an extension with Jorge Polanco with terms that would be similar to those of Jose Ramirez and Kolten Wong.
• Here's why the free MLB hellscape agency has popular contract extensionsand the reason is not "for us to have something to read and report", although it is viable.
• The twins were not made there they also locked Max Kepler with an extension of $ 35 million over five years with an option. Kepler was a highly regarded prospect and, although his offensive performances were a little inconsistent, this deal could still prove to be a theft.
• the Phillies continued to commit funds to their major players in Aaron Nola has signed a four-year $ 45 million extension with an option for a fifth season.
• Spicy takeaway alert: Mike Moustakas' experience as a free agent is perfect example of what's wrong with baseball.
• the Marlins, which were and remain largely devoid of proven bullpen options, took a small step towards solving this problem Tuesday, signing three times World events champion (and the opener of origin) Sergio Romo to a one year contract. Seeing that he does not have much proven competition for the role, it seems that Romo will have a good chance of getting closer to Miami this season.
• Before Romo signed with the Marlins, our Andersen Pickard caught up with his agent, Barry Meister, to talk about the veteran bullpen market and the free agent market, which is evolving slowly.
• Which launchers are ready to to conquer the competition in 2019?
• According to reports, Bryce Harper do not want to sign a short-term contract. It remains to be seen whether he considers that a period of less than 10 years is "short term".
• Whether or not the Athletics could convince Kyler Murray to give up a lucrative football career and honor his agreement after his appointment in 2018 to play baseball has been a hot topic this season. This saga has now played as Kyler officially decided to abandon baseball for the benefit of footballLeaving Oakland without his first-round pick choice of the 2018 draw and without compensation (other than that of recovering part of his signing bonus).
• The organization of Cubs is an anomaly for most, including projection systems. Almost all are not in agreement on the club, and here's why. * INTENSIVE PECOTA *
• To afford a little comfort after a hard day, Oakland Brett Anderson back on a one-year contract while waiting for a physical to compete for a place in their rotation. A needs some good news to be sure.
• The MLB should consider a lottery in its proposal to modify the draft amateur. It's no secret that the project needs to be fixed, and maybe it's a way to spice things up a bit more.
• Beloved veteran Curtis Granderson will look to play another season in the big leagues, as he signed a minor league agreement with the Marlins and try to get a job this spring. If it's part of Miami's lineup, it will be interesting to see if it's passed to an opponent in the last straight for the third year in a row. He seems to be a bit of a curse, since he has played in nine playoff teams in 15 seasons, including three who qualified for the first time. World events.

• Eduardo Rodriguez is ready for an escapeSo let it be a note for all of you gathering your fantasy team predictions.

• Do free agents lose value when they stay on the market? deep in the offseason? We have looked at the data and just say that it usually helps them to sign as soon as possible.
