BRAVES TEAM NEWS CENTER

Kyle Wright - RP

Atlanta Braves

Kyle Wright pitched five innings of one-run ball Thursday in the Braves' 5-3 victory over the Tigers.

Added Mar 12 4:50 pm (EST)

Wright has made a strong bid to stay in the rotation competition with his 2.03 ERA and 15/4 K/BB ratio in 13 1/3 innings this spring. He's still probably behind Felix Hernandez and Sean Newcomb for now, but he's definitely an NL-only sleeper.

G. Springer - CF

TOR

ESPN's Jeff Passan confirms that the Blue Jays are in agreement on a deal with outfielder George Springer.

In retrospect, Brendon Kuhn of the Blue Jays Nation blog actually had the news first, with Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic providing the financials: six years, $150 million -- the richest contract in franchise history. Springer is headed to the team's spring training complex in Dunedin, Florida and it will all be official after he passes the necessary pre-signing physical exam. This should prove to be a huge fantasy boost -- and obviously real-life boost, too -- for the entire lineup in Toronto. The 31-year-old three-time AL All-Star has produced a .284/.376/.576 slash line (.953 OPS) with 53 home runs and 128 RBI over his last 173 games dating back to the beginning of 2019. He mostly hit leadoff for the Astros and should do the same with the Jays.

G. Springer - CF

TOR

MLB.com's Jon Morosi reports that the Blue Jays are now the "frontrunners" to sign George Springer.

Morosi also acknowledges that a couple of Twitter users, one a Sportsnet employee, have stated that the Jays and Springer are already in agreement. Joel Sherman of the New York Post, meanwhile, is hearing that the two sides are "closing in" on a deal. This could fully come together within the next 24 hours, and perhaps even sometime late Tuesday night. Springer was a target of the Mets as well, but it seems their primary focus has shifted to a long-term contract extension for star shortstop Francisco Lindor, who was acquired from Cleveland earlier this month. Springer, 31, registered an .899 OPS with 14 home runs and 32 RBI over 51 games with the Astros in 2020 and is said to be steering toward a free agent contract worth more than $125 million.

Z. Grotz - RP

SEA

Red Sox signed RHP Zac Grotz to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Grotz had an ugly 7.30 ERA in 24 2/3 innings of relief with the Mariners between 2019-2020, but he's posted impressive numbers in the upper minors and may have a real shot of claiming a spot in Boston's bullpen.

Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith hears from a source that George Springer is "impressed" by the Blue Jays.

There are rumors floating around that Springer has a deal in place with the Jays, but no respected reporter is confirming (or even acknowledging) them. That said, Toronto does seem to be emerging as a possible favorite here, with MLB.com's Jon Morosi saying a final decision could come this week. The 31-year-old free agent outfielder is also being pursued by the Mets, though they just had to make a big change in their front office and owner Steve Cohen might be more focused on trying to extend trade acquisition Francisco Lindor. According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, the price tag on Springer could soar beyond $125 million.

K. Hernández - 2B

LA

According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, the Mets "were in pretty strong" on free agent utilityman Enrique Hernandez.

But it seems that pursuit was led by former GM Jared Porter, who was fired on Tuesday after a little over a month at the helm. It's unclear whether the Mets remain in touch with Hernandez now that president Sandy Alderson and assistant GM Zack Scott are making the baseball decisions. Heyman notes that the Red Sox have also shown serious interest in Hernandez, who's a fit for a range of clubs thanks to his defensive versatility.

A. Bummer - RP

CWS

Aaron Bummer (biceps) said Tuesday that he is a "full-go" for the start of spring training.

Bummer was limited to nine appearances in 2020 because of a left biceps strain and left biceps nerve issue that kept him out from August 8 to September 23, but he showed well when healthy and projects to serve as a key setup man for the White Sox in 2021 ahead of new closer Liam Hendriks. The 27-year-old boasts a 1.99 ERA and 74 strikeouts over his last 77 innings of work dating back to the beginning of the 2019 season.

A. Santander - RF

BAL

MASN's Roch Kubatko reports that Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander is drawing trade interest.

Kubatko adds to "keep an eye out on the Marlins, who are looking for a right fielder." Santander missed the final three weeks of the already-condensed 2020 regular season because of a right oblique strain, but he registered an impressive .890 OPS with 11 home runs and 32 RBI in 37 games before suffering that injury. As it stands right now, the 26-year-old slugger is under club control in Baltimore through the 2024 campaign.
