J. Castro - C

According to Ken Rosenthal and Jake Kaplan of The Athletic, the Astros have signed catcher Jason Castro to a one-year contract.

Castro was selected 10th overall by the Astros in the 2008 MLB Draft and spent the first seven years (2010-2016) of his MLB career in Houston, so this will be a reunion of sorts. He had also been tied to the Cubs, Rangers, and Mets this winter. The 33-year-old stumbled to a .188/.293/.375 batting line over 27 games between the Angels and Padres in 2020, but he had a good showing offensively with the Twins in 2019 and should be a fine left-handed-hitting complement to the right-handed-hitting Martin Maldonado in 2021.

R. Dull - RP

TOR

Ryan Dull has agreed to a deal with the Winnipeg Goldeyes of the independent American Association.

Dull was with the Blue Jays organization on a minor league contract in 2020 but did not make the team's 60-man player pool when the MLB season finally got underway. The now 31-year-old right-hander surrendered 19 runs -- 18 earned -- over 12 2/3 innings of relief between the Athletics, Yankees, and Jays in 2019.

M. Dermody - RP

CHI

Cubs released LHP Matt Dermody.

Dermody re-signed with the Cubs on a minor league deal last month, but Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors says the lefty is now headed to Japan to play for the Seibu Lions. The 30-year-old holds a 5.13 ERA over 29 appearances across parts of three major league seasons.

J. Happ - SP

MIN

Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that the Twins and J.A. Happ are in agreement on a one-year contract.

It's not clear how much the deal -- which is pending a physical -- is worth. Happ is 38, but he's worthy of a one-year pact after putting up a 3.47 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 42/15 K/BB ratio in 49 1/3 innings over nine starts with the Yankees in 2020. The Twins could still use a high-end arm in their rotation, but the veteran left-hander is a solid addition.

B. Hand - RP

According to FanSided's Robert Murray, the Angels "have emerged as a possibility" for free agent reliever Brad Hand.

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reported Wednesday that the Blue Jays "have had an offer out" to Hand, and the 30-year-old right-hander has also been tied in recent weeks to the Dodgers, Astros, White Sox, and Mets. Cleveland declined Hand's $10 million option for 2021 back in October, but it sounds like he's going to easily top that figure anyway. He could potentially challenge Raisel Iglesias for the closer role in Anaheim.

M. Brantley - LF

HOU

Mark Berman of FOX 26 in Houston reports that the Astros have re-signed Michael Brantley to a two-year, $32 million contract.

Well then. Multiple reports surfaced Wednesday morning which said that Brantley had agreed to a three-year contract with the Blue Jays, but by the afternoon it was clear that the two sides still had some legwork to do. Now, it would appear Brantley is remaining in Houston. It's not clear whether something caused Brantley's deal with Toronto to fall apart or if it was just a case of reporters jumping the gun. Either way, it sounds like the veteran outfielder will stay with the Astros rather than join George Springer north of the border.

J. Turner - 3B

Jon Heyman of MLB Network hears that Justin Turner remains "the top target" for the Dodgers as they seek a right-handed-hitting infielder.

Reports have circulated that the Dodgers are showing serious interest in Marcus Semien, but that might be more of a fallback plan in the event that something can't be worked out with Turner. At last check, per Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times, the 36-year-old third baseman was seeking a four-year free agent contract. He batted .307/.400/.460 over 175 plate appearances last season for the World Series champs.

J. Castro - C

MLB.com's Jon Morosi reports that the Tigers are showing interest in free agent catcher Jason Castro.

Castro has also been linked to the Cubs, Astros, and Rangers, so he may wind up doing pretty well for himself despite struggling to a .188/.293/.375 batting line over 92 plate appearances last season between the Angels and Padres. The 33-year-old has ties to new Tigers manager A.J. Hinch from their days together in Houston.
