Toronto Blue Jays

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said Thursday that Ryan Borucki (elbow) "feels great ... no setbacks."

Borucki came down with some soreness in his surgically-repaired left elbow back in mid-February, but he resumed throwing bullpen sessions late last month and should be fully healthy whenever the 2020 regular season finally gets underway. The 26-year-old southpaw holds a career 4.31 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and 73/39 K/BB ratio in 104 1/3 total innings (19 starts) at the major league level.

J. Soria - RP

FA

Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports that the Mariners have shown interest in free agent right-hander Joakim Soria.

Soria's market has picked up as of late, and as Morosi notes in his tweet, every team in the AL West has checked in on the free agent reliever. The Blue Jays also have known interest, as have the Yankees. The 36-year-old was solid in 2020 with a 2.82 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 1.25 WHIP over his 22 1/3 innings last season with a 24/10 K/BB ratio. If he was to sign with Seattle, he could very well battle Rafael Montero for the closing gig.

S. Miller - RP

MIL

Cubs signed RHP Shelby Miller to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Mark Feinsand of MLB Network reports he'll earn $875,000 with $600,000 in performance bonuses possible. The right-hander opted out of the remainder of the 2020 season after signing a minor league contract with the Brewers that winter. A former top prospect, Miller has struggled to stay healthy and has been horrible on the mound when he has taken the bump with an ERA of 9.15 in 24 appearances the last two years for the Diamondbacks and Rangers. He'll compete for a spot on the Chicago pitching staff over the spring.

L. Castillo - SP

CIN

Reds general manager Nick Krall told reporters that there was no truth to the rumors that Luis Castillo would be traded to the Yankees.

[The rumors] are completely false,” Krall said. “We intend to have [Castillo] as a member of our rotation for 2021.” Rumors of Castillo joining the Yankees started on Saturday when Jim Bowden of The Athletic noted that the two teams had talked, and Hector Gomez reported that a deal between the two clubs are done. Jeff Passan of ESPN quickly shot down the transaction, and now the Reds GM has doused the fire further. It wouldn't be a surprise if the Yankees added another starter, but it doesn't appear to be Castillo.

A. Sánchez - SP

FA

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that Anibal Sanchez and Julio Teheran will both be working out on Tuesday in Miami.

As Heyman notes, both are free agents. Sanchez has recently been linked to the Phillies, while Teheran's market has been (unsurprisingly) quiet. A strong workout from either hurler would go a long way in securing the veteran right-hander's a contract, similar - if not the exact situation - to Corey Kluber and the Yankees.

B. Gardner - LF

FA

Buster Olney of ESPN.com reports that the Yankees would like to bring back Brett Gardner.

Gardner would seem to be superfluous for the Yankees, but all 13 of his seasons have come in pinstripes and it would appear both parties are interested in continuing the relationship. The club declined Gardner's $10 million option for 2021 back in October, and the 37-year-old might be looking at a modest salary and role if he does return to the Bronx.

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

FA

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

FA

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.
