    Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports that the Rangers have agreed to a one-year contract with free agent southpaw Hoby Milner.
    No word yet on the financial terms of the deal, but Milner had been expected to earn around $2.5 million via arbitration before he was non-tendered by the Brewers in November. The 33-year-old southpaw had a down season in 2024, registering a 4.73 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and a 64/14 K/BB ratio across 64 2/3 innings. He adds a strong weapon from the left side to the Rangers’ bullpen.
  • TB Third Baseman #24

    The Rays plan to focus on having Christopher Morel play left field this spring.
    Second baseman Brandon Lowe went untraded over the winter and Junior Caminero seems locked in at third, so it’s off to the outfield for Morel. He does have experience out there, having played center frequently as a rookie in 2022. He started 11 games in left after the trade to the Rays last summer.
  • BOS Third Baseman #2
    Red Sox signed INF Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million contract.
    The deal is now official. Bregman is expected to take over as Boston’s starting second baseman and his pull-heavy offensive approach is tailor-made for Fenway Park’s hitter-friendly Green Monster in left field. The 30-year-old infielder remains a strong four-category impact fantasy contributor and should be a near-lock to reach the 25-homer mark in his Red Sox debut. His arrival temporarily blocks top prospect Kristian Campbell at the keystone, but the dynamic speedster should still force his way to the big leagues in short order.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #43
    Red Sox placed LHP Patrick Sandoval on the 60-day injured list.
    The procedural move clears a spot on Boston’s 40-man roster for Alex Bregman. The 28-year-old left-hander is aiming to join the Red Sox starting rotation sometime in the early stages of the second half after undergoing an internal brace procedure last July while a member of the Angels.
  • MIL Starting Pitcher #51
    Brewers named Freddy Peralta their Opening Day starter.
    Peralta gets the nod to take the ball for Milwaukee on March 27 at Yankee Stadium. The 28-year-old right-hander remains one of the elite strikeout artists in the game and is currently being selected as a top 30 starter for fantasy purposes in early NFBC drafts. He posted a respectable 3.68 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 200/68 K/BB ratio across 173 2/3 innings (32 starts).
  • ARI Center Fielder #7
    Corbin Carroll is fine after being hit by a pitch on Friday during a live batting practice session.
    Carroll was at the epicenter of a semi-viral X post on Friday afternoon that showed video of the franchise cornerstone getting hit by a pitch on the hand during a live batting practice session. All indications are that he didn’t suffer any sort of injury and should be a full-go for the outset of next week’s full-squad workouts.
  • MIA Starting Pitcher #23
    Max Meyer has added a sweeper to his pitch mix.
    The textbook definition of a post-hype sleeper, Meyer has already begun tinkering with his arsenal under the direction of Miami’s completely overhauled pitching apparatus. The 25-year-old former top prospect struggled mightily last year in his return from Tommy John surgery, but his slider remains one of the most potent in the game, which gives him a shot at fantasy relevance if he makes some further changes to his pitch mix. The addition of a sweeper would give him another strong secondary offering and he’s expected to lean a bit more on his sinker this upcoming season, especially against left-handed batters. He’s one of the more intriguing starters to watch at the outset of Grapefruit League action.
  • LAA Relief Pitcher
    Angels signed RHP Montana Semmel to a minor league contract.
    Semmel, 23, was a 36th round selection by the Yankees from the 2019 draft class and spent five seasons in their organization. In 2024, he registered a 6.33 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and a 40/29 K/BB ratio across 42 2/3 innings at Single-A Tampa. Semmel will add minor league bullpen depth for the Halos.
  • PIT Catcher #5
    Endy Rodriguez (elbow) told reporters on Friday that he’s now feeling 100 percent after fully recovering from Tommy John surgery.
    The 24-year-old backstop missed the entire 2024 campaign while recovering from the injury, though he did make it back to play in a handful of minor league rehab games before the season concluded. He has gone through a normal and healthy off-season and has been in great spirits early on in Pirates’ camp. With Joey Bart entrenched as the club’s starting catcher, Rodriguez is going to have to battle Henry Davis and Jason Delay to open the year as the Bart’s understudy.
  • KC Starting Pitcher #55
    Royals signed LHP Cole Ragans to a three-year, $13.25 million contract.
    The pre-arbitration deal covers the upcoming 2025 season in addition to Ragans’ first two arbitration-eligible seasons. He’ll have one more year of arbitration eligibility before becoming a free agent after the 2028 season. It looks like a strong deal for both sides, as Ragans gains a bit of short-term financial security at likely above what he would have made via arbitration, while the Royals manage to avoid a potentially contentious hearing down the road with one of the top left-handers in the game. Ragans has been a fringe top 10 starting pitcher off the board in early fantasy drafts after his masterful 2024 season.
  • TEX Relief Pitcher #61
    Robert Garcia (forearm) threw off of flat ground without any issues on Friday and is close to progressing to mound work.
    The 28-year-old right-hander was sidelined early in camp due to nerve irritation in his forearm, but thankfully it appears to have been only a minor issue. Garcia did a nice job for the Nationals in 2024, compiling a 4.22 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and a 75/16 K/BB ratio over 59 2/3 innings. With no clear cut closer at the back end of the Rangers’ bullpen. Garcia could thrust himself into the mix there if he continues to pile up strikeouts at that rate.
