E. Díaz - C

COL

Rockies and C Elias Diaz avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.2 million contract.

The deal also carries $300,000 in performance-based incentives, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Diaz, 30, slashed just .235/.288/.353 over 73 plate appearances for the Rockies in 2020 and holds a weak .655 career OPS as a major leaguer. He projects to back up Tony Wolters behind the plate next season in Colorado.

B. Rooker - RF

MIN

Brent Rooker (forearm) has been doing range-of-motion activities and began hitting on Monday.

Rooker needed surgery in mid-September for a fractured right forearm, but he is on a relatively normal offseason schedule now and should be 100 percent recovered by the opening of spring training. The 26-year-old posted an impressive .316/.381/.579 batting line over his first 21 major league plate appearances this past summer with the Twins and could take on a fairly significant role in Minnesota next season.

S. Oberg - RP

COL

Scott Oberg (shoulder) started a throwing program on Monday.

Oberg has required multiple procedures for blood clotting issues and also underwent thoracic outlet surgery on his right shoulder this past September, but he is currently aiming to be at full strength for the beginning of the 2021 season. The 30-year-old reliever registered a dominant 2.25 ERA over 56 innings for the Rockies in 2019 before having to sit out the condensed 2020 campaign due to the aforementioned health problems.

R. Erlin - SP

ATL

Robbie Erlin has agreed to a one-year contract with the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters of Japan’s Pacific League, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

There's no word yet on the financial framework of the deal, but it probably carries more guaranteed money than Erlin would have found in MLB-affiliated free agency. The 30-year-old former third-round pick of the Rangers struggled to an 8.10 ERA in 26 2/3 innings of work this past season between the Pirates and Braves.

J. Ureña - SP

MIA

Marlins designated RHP Jose Urena for assignment.

This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for reliever Adam Cimber, who was acquired from the Indians on Monday in exchange for cash considerations. Urena battled both COVID-19 and a non-displaced ulna fracture in his right forearm this year while struggling to the tune of a 5.40 ERA in five starts covering 23 1/3 innings. The 29-year-old right-hander put up a 3.90 ERA in 343 2/3 innings for Miami between 2017-2018, but he was probably going to be a non-tender candidate this winter given his rising cost in arbitration.

A. Cimber - RP

MIA

Marlins acquired RHP Adam Cimber from the Indians for cash considerations.

Cimber was designated for assignment by Cleveland last week to clear out a 40-man roster spot for Jordan Humphreys. The 30-year-old reliever owns a respectable 3.89 ERA in 136 1/3 career innings at the major league level and should be able to claim a spot in the Opening Day bullpen for Miami leading into the 2021 campaign. In a corresponding move, the Fish have designated Jose Urena for assignment.

J. McCann - C

CWS

Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports that the Mets are after James McCann "more" than J.T. Realmuto at the moment.

It's worth noting that this comes from "sources outside the organization," but it's clear that the Mets see McCann as a serious possibility. It makes some degree of sense, as the Mets' biggest needs are arguably starting pitching and center field. Trevor Bauer and George Springer would be great fits on that end, respectively. McCann is going to do well in free agency, but he won't be as pricey as Realmuto, so the club could conceivably address multiple needs by going down this path. Of course, the plan could all change if Springer and/or Bauer end up elsewhere. Realmuto certainly hasn't been ruled out as a possibility for the Mets. The club is still searching for a general manager at the moment, but team president Sandy Alderson is heading up baseball ops as the Hot Stove gets underway.

H. Kendrick - 2B

WSH

Howie Kendrick intends to play next season, reports Britt Ghiroli of The Athletic.

Kendrick previously considered retirement, but Ghiroli hears that he's already drawn some interest and will look to play "at least" one more year. Coming off a monster 2019, the 37-year-old battled hamstring and back injuries this past season while batting just .275/.320/.385 with two homers over 100 plate appearances. Still, it's easy to imagine him drawing at least part-time at-bats next year, especially if the DH sticks around for 2021.
