V. Grissom - SS

ATL

Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulous said in a press conference that Vaughn Grissom would get a look in left field if the season started today.

Grissom will play left field this winter in Puerto Rico after hitting .330/.419/.501 in Triple-A during the 2023 season. Anthopoulous also said that Forrest Wall could be another option for left field. Grissom has yet to play a game professionally on the outfield grass, so the 22-year-old will have to adapt quickly to secure a spot in the opening-day roster.

W. Miley - SP

MIL

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Brewers are showing interest in free-agent left-hander Wade Miley.

Miley surprisingly declined his $10 million mutual option earlier this offseason, but it seems like he and the Brewers are looking to reunite. The 37-year-old posted a 3.14 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 79/38 K/BB ratio across 120 1/3 innings (23 starts) last year for the Brew Crew. With Milwaukee cutting ties with Brandon Woodruff and rumored to be in the market to trade their ace, Corbin Burnes, adding an innings eater like Miley seems like an ideal move for the Brewers.

N/A

B. Buxton - DH

MIN

La Velle Neal III of the Star Tribune reports that Bryon Buxton is fully recovered from the arthroscopic knee surgery he had in October.

Buxton recently met with team trainers and coaches, who were pleased with his progress. Neal also reported that Buxton should return to baseball activities by the end of this year. Earlier this offseason, President of Baseball Operations Derek Falvey told reporters that the team planned to have the 29-year-old return to center field in 2024, so this development is a step in the right direction.

N/A

C. Burnes - SP

MIL

Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports that the Padres are interested in acquiring Brewers ace right-hander Corbin Burnes.

While the Padres seem adamant on unloading Juan Soto to free up some payroll, it looks like they’re trying to reload rather that rebuild — shifting the focus to their pitching staff. Acee notes that the Padres have at least checked in on all of the top starting pitchers available on the free agent market, and it seems as though they’re doing their due diligence on the trade front as well.

N/A

J. Soto - LF

Héctor Gómez of Z101 Digital reports the Blue Jays are currently the favorites to land Juan Soto in a trade with the Padres.

He adds that talks with the Yankees have stalled. Gómez has a history of running with things too early, but he does have his sources. If something materializes here, it’s easy to imagine Alek Manoah being involved. The Padres would probably also have some interest in some of the Jays’ talented bullpen arms (Nate Pearson, Zach Pop, Yosver Zulueta, etc.).

N/A

A. Scrubb - RP

HOU

Mets signed RHP Andre Scrubb to a minor league contract.

Scrubb made 38 relief appearances for the Astros from 2020-2021, but didn’t pitch this past season due to injury. MLB.com’s Anthony Dicomo adds that the 28-year-old righty has been throwing in the mid-90’s recently in the Puerto Rican Winter League. There’s a chance he could crack New York’s bullpen at some point this upcoming season.

Added Yesterday 8:20 pm (EST)

N/A

T. Bauer - SP

MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon reports the Reds have no interest in signing free agent right-hander Trevor Bauer.

Bauer spent this past season pitching for the Yokohama DeNA BayStars of Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball after being released by the Dodgers back in January after serving the longest suspension (194 games) in the history of MLB and MLBPA’s joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy. The soon-to-be 33-year-old right-hander is a free agent this offseason, but it’s unclear whether any major league team will sign him at the moment.

E. Mejia - 2B

WSH

Nationals re-signed OF Erick Mejia to a minor league contract.

Mejia last appeared in the majors with the Royals during the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign and will return to Washington as extra organizational depth. The 29-year-old is capable of handling multiple infield and outfield spots at this juncture and might get a look in the big leagues again at some point as a super-utility specialist.
