Catching you up on the latest from around baseball.
Hello everyone! It’s Thursday, and the baseball world rolls along as we get ever closer to spring training.
In Mariners news…
- The Mariners made a rare 40-man roster move, claiming right-hander Hagen Danner off waivers from the Blue Jays.
Around the league…
- The White Sox bolstered their starting pitching corps, signing left-hander Martín Pérez to a one-year deal.
- The Nats agreed to a one-year contract with infielder Amed Rosario.
- The Diamondbacks have acquired right-hander Grae Kessinger in a minor swap with the Astros.
- Marlins left-handed starter Braxton Garrett will miss the entire 2025 season after undergoing elbow surgery.
- The Rays are reportedly unlikely to move infielders Brandon Lowe and Yandy Díaz this winter, aiming to stay at least somewhat competitive by hanging onto their two best remaining hitters.
Anders’ picks…
- Inflation has hit everything hard, but it’s hit LEGO sets the hardest.
