C. Martínez - SP

STL

Carlos Martinez allowed three runs on four hits with five strikeouts and one walk over six innings Saturday in his final start for Aguilas Cibaenas in the Dominican Winter League playoffs.

Martinez struggled early, allowing three runs -- including back-to-back homers -- in the opening frame, but wound up retiring 18 of the final 20 batters he faced to complete his last offseason outing before spring training. The 29-year-old righty compiled a disastrous 9.90 ERA, 2.10 WHIP and 17/10 K/BB ratio across 20 innings and was limited to only five starts during the shortened 2020 season due to COVID-19 and an oblique injury. He’s slated to open the 2021 campaign in the Cardinals’ Opening Day rotation and offers some late-round appeal for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues given his extensive track record over the last decade.

M. Pérez - SP

Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports the Red Sox have re-signed LHP Martin Perez to a one-year, $4.5 million deal, which includes a $6 million team option for the 2022 campaign.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic was the first to report that the two sides were close to an agreement. Per Cotillo, the deal also includes a $500,000 buyout for the 2022 season and will be made official once Perez passes a physical. The reunion comes after the Red Sox declined his $6.85 million option back in November. The 29-year-old veteran southpaw's performance has fluctuated over the last few years, but he delivered a respectable 4.50 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 46/28 K/BB ratio across 62 innings (12 starts) during the truncated 2020 campaign. He's back for another stint as an innings-eater and will provide some valuable back-end depth for the Red Sox' starting rotation next season.

B. Hand - RP

Jon Morosi of MLB.com reports that free agent reliever Brad Hand has drawn interest from the Astros, Blue Jays and Mets over the last 48 hours.

Hand has reportedly been discussing multi-year deals with several potential suitors in the wake of Liam Hendriks' massive three-year, $54 million deal with the White Sox. There was also a report from Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, which was later corrected, that he was closing in on a two-year deal with the Mets earlier this week. He’s also been linked to the Dodgers earlier this offseason, but it’s unclear if they’re still in the mix at this point. The 30-year-old southpaw recorded a pristine 2.05 ERA, 0.77 WHIP, and 29/4 K/BB ratio over 22 innings, while also tallying a league-leading 16 saves with Cleveland last season.

J. Odorizzi - SP

According to Darren Wolfson of KSTP, the Twins are still talking to free agent right-hander Jake Odorizzi.

Odorizzi remains among the many starting pitchers on the Twins' radar screen this offseason. The odds of a reunion appear to be increasing after a pair of potential suitors in the Yankees and Mets both made moves to bolster their starting rotations last week. He’s also been linked to Blue Jays, Red Sox, Giants, Angels and Rays as well. The extremely durable 30-year-old righty had made at least 28 starts in six straight seasons before three separate injured list stints limited him to just four starts during the truncated 2020 campaign. He’s been an extremely valuable member of the Twins’ starting rotation, compiling a 4.11 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 352/126 K/BB ratio across 337 innings (66 starts) over the last three years.

T. Rosenthal - RP

According to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Padres “remain engaged” in talks with free agent reliever Trevor Rosenthal.

Acee notes that the Padres final offer to bring back former closer Kirby Yates fell short of competing offers, so it’s unlikely they’ll be able to match the asking price for Rosenthal this offseason. There’s finally been some movement on the relief market after electrifying righty Liam Hendriks landed a three-year, $54 million free agent contract from the White Sox earlier this week. Yet, it doesn’t seem like the 30-year-old flame-throwing righty, who registered a microscopic 1.90 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 38/8 K/BB ratio across 23 2/3 innings with the Royals and Padres last season, is close to making a final decision.

J. Soria - RP

According to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet, the Blue Jays are one of several clubs interested in free agent right-hander Joakim Soria,

The Blue Jays have been rebuffed by several free agents already this offseason, but they're still casting a wide net and looking to bolster several areas of their team. In addition to Soria, they are also known to have interest in relievers Brad Hand and Kirby Yates. The Athletics, Astros, Rangers and Angels are also known to be interested in Soria. The 36-year-old hurler posted a 2.82 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 24/10 K/BB ratio over 22 1/3 innings. Whichever reliever they ultimately bring in, could potentially supplant Jordan Romano and wind up with the ninth-inning gig.

A. Rodriguez - 3B

Tigers signed INF Aderlin Rodriguez to a minor league contract.

Rodriguez, 29, spent the 2020 season playing for the Orix Buffaloes in Japan where he slashed .242/.299/.445 with 13 homers, 41 RBI and a 74/20 K/BB ratio across 83 games. He played exclusively at first base in 2020, but also has experience at third base and the corner outfield as well. He'll add organizational depth for the Tigers.

A. Moore - RP

SEA

Tigers signed RHP Andrew Moore to a minor league contract.

The soft-tossing 26-year-old right-hander owns a 5.51 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 33/9 K/BB ratio over 63 2/3 innings at the major-league level, with nearly all of those frames logged during the 2017 season with the Mariners. He's also spent time with minor-league affiliates within the Giants and Rays organizations over the last few years. He'll add much-needed organizational bullpen depth for the Tigers.
