J. Lester - SP

CHI

Jon Morosi of MLB.com reports that the Giants are interested in free agent left-hander Jon Lester.

The Giants are in need of a starter with Drew Smyly departing and Lester previously considered signing with the Giants before landing with the Cubs during his last foray into free agency. The 36-year-old became a free agent at the end of October after the Cubs declined his $25 million option for 2021. It came as no surprise after he posted a 5.16 ERA and 42/17 K/BB ratio in 61 innings across 12 starts this past season. He'd mostly be an innings-eater at this point of his career.

S. Gray - SP

CIN

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic hears from rival clubs that the Reds are "open to moving" right-hander Sonny Gray.

Gray is owed $10 million in each of the next two seasons with a $12 million club option for 2023, so it makes sense that the Reds would at least listen to clubs who might view him as a bargain compared to the pitchers available in free agency. The question is whether the Reds could deal Gray and still remain competitive next season, especially with Trevor Bauer already expected to depart via free agency. They'd almost certainly require younger and cheaper talent who could help them right away. Gray, 31, posted a 3.70 ERA and 72/26 K/BB ratio in 56 innings across 11 regular season starts this past season.

C. Morton - SP

ATL

Braves signed RHP Charlie Morton to a one-year, $15 million contract.

The Braves have made a habit out of these one-year deals and this one could pay off big-time. Morton will join a rotation which already includes Max Fried, Ian Anderson, and the recently added Drew Smyly. With Kyle Wright and Bryse Wilson offering depth, the Braves don't necessarily have to rush back Mike Soroka has he returns from his Achilles tear. The Braves still have some work to do with Marcell Ozuna on the free agent market, but they are off to a good start in trying to secure another NL East title.

C. Morton - SP

ATL

Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports that the Braves and right-hander Charlie Morton have agreed to a one-year, $15 million deal.

It's the largest free agent contract thus far. Morton became a free agent at the end of October after the Rays declined a $15 million club option for 2021, but he ended up getting the same salary on the open market. And a big bonus is that he managed to stay close to home, as was his wish. The 37-year-old posted a disappointing 4.74 ERA and 1.395 WHIP in 38 regular-season innings (nine starts) this past season, but he showed an uptick in velocity along with better results during the Rays' postseason run. He'll join a Braves' rotation which has already added Drew Smyly this offseason. If Mike Soroka can come back healthy, this rotation could be dominant. Morton was originally drafted by the Braves in 2002 and pitched one season for the club before being traded to the Pirates in the Nate McLouth deal.

G. Sparkman - RP

Royals released RHP Glenn Sparkman.

Sparkman was designated for assignment over the weekend and has now officially been cut loose. The 28-year-old holds a career 5.99 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, and 111/58 K/BB ratio in 180 1/3 innings at the MLB level.

Y. Puig - RF

ATL

Yasiel Puig is now being represented by agent Rachel Luba of Luba Sports.

Luba also reps Trevor Bauer, the top starting pitcher on the open market this winter. Puig had been with Dan Horwits and Cesar Suare of the Beverly Hills Sports Council but apparently cut ties after failing to latch on with a team during the 2020 campaign. He had an agreement in place with the Braves in July, but it was scrapped after he tested positive for COVID-19. The 29-year-old free agent outfielder registered a .785 OPS with 24 home runs and 19 stolen bases in 149 games (611 plate appearances) between the Reds and Indians in 2019.

C. Morton - SP

ATL

Mark Bowman of MLB.com writes that the Braves have "continued to show strong interest" in free agent starter Charlie Morton.

Atlanta inked lefty Drew Smyly to a one-year, $11 million deal last week, but the club is apparently not done searching for starting pitching help. Morton, 37, posted a disappointing 4.74 ERA and 1.395 WHIP in 38 regular-season innings (nine starts) this past summer with the Rays, though he did perform well in the playoffs as Tampa Bay marched all the way to the World Series. MLB.com's Mark Feinsand reported earlier this month that the veteran right-hander was drawing "some level of interest" from "at least" 8-10 teams.

E. Thames - 1B

WSH

According to Jon Morosi of MLB.com, free agent Eric Thames is drawing interest from MLB, NPB, and KBO teams.

Thames struggled to a .203/.300/.317 batting line in 41 games this past season with the Nationals, who then declined his $4 million option for 2021 late last month. But the 34-year-old slugger should do pretty well for himself this winter given all the avenues he's open to for possible offers. Thames spent the 2014-2016 seasons in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) before joining the Brewers ahead of the 2017 campaign.
