Good morning baseball fans!
Milwaukee signed Franklin Morales to a minor league deal Friday and there is a good chance he makes the major league roster:
Morales, 30, will join Will Smith as left-handers in the Brewers' bullpen mix, providing the team with a middle relief option with Smith slated to be the closer. Milwaukee was thought to be looking for a veteran southpaw all winter, so Morales should have a good chance at cracking the team's major-league roster after spring training.
The Rockies signed Ryan Raburn, who will have a good chance to join the club's bench.
Jose Bautista and the Blue Jays appear to be at war:
Bautista has undoubtedly been fantastic for Toronto over the last six years, but that's a bold stance to take. While an extension might have been possible at one point in time, if Bautista won't budge from the demands that he's submitted, a resolution doesn't seem likely.
