J. Bradley Jr. - CF

Mike Puma of the New York Post reports that the Mets "remain in discussions" with free agent outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr.

Puma adds that he has spoken to people who believe it's plausible the Mets could "look toward" center field before getting an answer from top free agent starter Trevor Bauer, for whom they have been labeled the frontrunner. JBJ would certainly be a great fit in Queens, and he should come far cheaper than George Springer, who was known to be a target of the Mets before signing a six-year, $150 million contract with the Blue Jays. Bradley slashed .283/.364/.450 with seven home runs, 22 RBI, five stolen bases, and 32 runs scored over 55 games with the Red Sox last season while playing his usual brand of high-level defense in center.

C. Sale - SP

BOS

According to WEEI's Rob Bradford, rehabbing starter Chris Sale (elbow) experienced "a setback around the holidays due to neck stiffness."

The good news is that Sale has already resumed throwing on flat ground as he continues his long road to recovery from Tommy John surgery, but this neck issue helps to explain why he has not yet gotten on a mound. He had the reconstructive elbow procedure in March and probably won't be an option for the Red Sox rotation until sometime this May. The 31-year-old left-hander is under contract with the Red Sox through 2024.

A. Wainwright - SP

Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that free agent right-hander Adam Wainwright "has received several competitive offers," including one from the Padres.

Goold labels the Padres' offer as "current," so it's apparently still on the table even after the club added Yu Darvish, Blake Snell, and Joe Musgrove this offseason in a series of blockbuster trades. Wainwright would presumably want to be locked into an Opening Day rotation spot wherever he lands, and San Diego might not be able to guarantee that, but perhaps he'll simply take the richest contract he can find as he enters his age-39 campaign. Wainwright pitched to an excellent 3.15 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 54/15 K/BB ratio over 65 1/3 innings with the Cardinals in 2020. He has spent his entire 15-year MLB career with St. Louis, at least up to this point.

M. Tanaka - SP

Masahiro Tanaka has officially agreed to a two-year contract with the Rakuten Eagles in Japan.

Even though the writing has been on the wall for weeks, this still feels like a stunning development, and a serious indictment on the current financial landscape in Major League Baseball. Unless, of course, Tanaka simply wanted to return home after a seven-year run in New York. The right-hander began his professional career with the Rakuten Eagles of Nippon Professional Baseball way back in 2007 at the age of 18. Now age 32, he posted a sharp 3.56 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 44/8 K/BB ratio in 48 innings (10 starts) last year with the Yankees.

J. Winckowski - SP

TOR

Mets acquired RHPs Sean Reid-Foley, Yennsy Diáz and Josh Winckowski from the Blue Jays for LHP Steven Matz.

Winckowski, 22, held a 2.69 ERA and 108/43 K/BB ratio over 127 1/3 innings in A-ball in 2019. He was ranked by MLB.com as the Blue Jays' No. 27 prospect.

Y. Diaz - RP

TOR

Mets acquired RHPs RHPs Sean Reid-Foley, Yennsy Diáz and Josh Winckowski from the Blue Jays for LHP Steven Matz.

Diaz was ranked by MLB.com as the Blue Jays' No. 26 prospect. He has been a starter throughout the minors and has had decent results, but many feel that he'll ultimately wind up in the bullpen.

S. Reid-Foley - RP

TOR

Mets acquired RHPs Sean Reid-Foley, Yennsy Diáz and Josh Winckowski from the Blue Jays for LHP Steven Matz.

Reid-Foley is a former top-100 prospect, but that was a few years ago and he hasn't had much success in the majors to this point. Still, he at least gives the Mets some much-needed pitching depth, whether it's as a starter or reliever.

N/A

S. Matz - SP

TOR

Blue Jays acquired LHP Steven Matz from the Mets for RHPs Sean Reid-Foley, Yennsy Diáz and Josh Winckowski.

Matz surrendered a whopping 14 home runs over 30 2/3 innings for the Mets last season. He's due for some better luck in that regard, but pitching in the AL East obviously isn't an ideal landing spot. The left-hander doesn't look like a very wise investment in mixed fantasy leagues.
