In just under a month, baseball spring training camps will kick off in Arizona and Florida. With numerous free agents still available and trade talks in progress, there is plenty of anticipation leading up to the start of camp. Here are the latest updates from the hot stove on Monday.
Blue Jays Eyeing Max Scherzer
The Toronto Blue Jays are reportedly interested in signing veteran pitcher Max Scherzer, according to Sportsnet. With a gap in their rotation following recent developments, adding Scherzer could be a significant move for the team. Despite their past struggles in signing top free agents, the Blue Jays have the opportunity to strengthen their roster this offseason. The recent acquisition of Anthony Santander shows their commitment to improving the team.
Carlos Estévez Drawing Interest
Reliever Carlos Estévez is gaining attention in the market, especially after Tanner Scott’s recent signing. Teams like the Blue Jays and Cubs are considering adding Estévez to their bullpen. As a power pitcher with a proven track record, Estévez could be a valuable asset for any team looking to bolster their bullpen.
Cardinals’ Financial Flexibility
During the Cardinals’ Winter Warm-Up event, team POBO John Mozeliak mentioned that they have some financial flexibility to make moves. With a focus on resetting and reducing payroll, the Cardinals are exploring their options to improve the team. Despite a quiet offseason so far, the Cardinals have the resources to make key additions if needed.
