<p>It is hard to say goodbye, but unfortunately that is what we must do.</p> <p id="spmWrU">Baseball fans everywhere have had to weather a lot over the last few years. Between the COVID shutdown and its lingering effects combined with a lengthy lockout, we have had to ask questions like “when will baseball be back?” and “will things ever be the same again?” instead of arguing about the ins and outs of the game that have colored our water cooler conversations for decades. For a site like MLB Daily Dish with a small, but plucky staff that thrives when there are tons of transactions and rumors to talk about, that has been particularly challenging and unfortunately our time has run out.</p>
<p id="jmeoRJ">Effective immediately, MLB Daily Dish will no longer be posting new content. I am, of course, heartbroken that this is happening, but I also harbor no ill will whatsoever. SB Nation has been incredibly supportive and understanding through what was an unprecedented situation for the game of baseball for the last few years.</p>
<p id="4cTBeT">I do want to take a moment to thank my writers. Patrick Karraker, Cristiana Caruso, and Andersen Pickard (along with the lengthy list of contributors who helped build MLB Daily Dish over the years), thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. Any site would be lucky to have you on their staff and I was incredibly fortunate to get to have your talents on mine. I adore each and every one of you and know that you are going to kill it wherever you end up.</p>
<p id="o6cncO">Lastly, I want to thank all of our readers. Thank you all for following along with us and entrusting us to get the baseball news of the day to you. There are a ton of team-centric sites across the SBN Network that will do a great job to keep you up to date with the goings on with your favorite team going forward. This is goodbye for now, so thank you all again for everything and we will see where this journey takes all of us now that this chapter has come to an end.</p>

<p>Doubleheaders will be back to nine innings this year, and there’s a new rule that will benefit Shohei Ohtani.</p> <p id="K2e9wY">Thought MLB had already finished making changes for the 2022 season? Think again. <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/03/22/mlb-union-agree-to-temporary-28-man-rosters-shohei-ohtani-rule/"><strong>According to a report from the </strong><em><strong>New York Post</strong></em><strong>’s Joel Sherman on Tuesday</strong></a>, several adjustments are in store this year, with most of them being made in an effort to keep players healthy following the lockout and a shortened spring training. </p>
<p id="Zy4VrK">Teams will have 28-man rosters in April, a key adjustment as pitchers continue to get built up after an unusual offseason. While teams will be limited to 13 pitchers when rosters return to their usual 26-man limit in May, teams will be able to carry as many arms as they want for the season’s first month. While doubleheaders will return to nine innings, which seemed likely once teams resumed scheduling split twin bills and giving fans less bang for their buck, the ghost runner on second base in extra innings will remain in place this season. MLB says that change is only for 2022, though we’ve heard that same refrain to some extent in each of the past two seasons.</p>
<p id="X9KmZp">Finally, in the only long-term measure of the bunch, starting pitchers who bat for themselves will remain in the DH slot even when their day on the mound is over. That’s significant for Shohei Ohtani, who awkwardly moved from the mound to the outfield on several occasions last season as the Angels tried to get him another at-bat.</p>

<li id="XJW62U">Tuesday was the deadline for players and teams to exchange arbitration figures, inspiring most clubs to reach deals with their arbitration-eligible players. <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/22/22990962/mlb-arbitration-tracker-settlements-deadline"><strong>Here’s all the info on which players settled and which ones appear to be headed to trial</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="8BGUqi">As part of the arbitration deadline happenings, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/22/22992024/nationals-avoid-arbitration-juan-soto"><strong>Juan Soto agreed to a one-year, $17.1 million deal with the Nationals</strong></a>, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/22/22991940/dodgers-and-trea-turner-avoid-arbitration-and-settle-on-21-million-contract"><strong>Trea Turner got a one-year, $21 million deal with the Dodgers</strong></a>, and the Blue Jays bought out the remainder of Matt Chapman’s arbitration-eligible years <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/22/22991201/matt-chapman-signs-two-year-contract-extension-with-blue-jays"><strong>with a two-year, $25 million extension</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="NeK5BW">The Rockies made an interesting long-term investment, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/21/22989617/rockies-sign-ryan-mcmahon-extension"><strong>signing infielder Ryan McMahon to a six-year, $70 million extension</strong></a>. </li>
<li id="5jJaLG">In a deal going down 2AM EST and shocking most, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/19/22986174/twins-sign-carlos-correa"><strong>the Minnesota Twins have signed Carlos Correa</strong></a> to a monster three-year, $105.3M contract (that contains opt-outs after the first two seasons, just in case). </li>
<li id="WluFuO">The Braves, who literally cannot be stopped nor contained,<a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/19/22986094/braves-sign-kenley-jansen"><strong> have signed reliever Kenley Jansen</strong></a> to a one-year, $16M deal. </li>
<li id="3z9Geo">
<a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/18/22986070/phillies-sign-nick-castellanos"><strong>The Phillies have signed Nick Castellanos</strong></a>, who was kind enough to break his own relocation with an artsy Instagram shot of Philadelphia. The slugger heads there by way of a five-year, $100M deal, which absolutely makes hearing “wutter” for the next half a decade worth it.</li>
<li id="fWIXtS">In a very interesting and possibly drama-laden turn of events, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/18/22985102/padres-yankees-luke-voit-justin-lange-trade"><strong>the Yankees have traded Luke Voit</strong></a> to the Padres for pitching prospect Justin Lange. </li>
<li id="IQUrQI">Freddie Freeman was not the only top player to find a new team. Kris Bryant finally got his payday as <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/16/22981984/rockies-sign-kris-bryant-to-seven-year-182-million-deal"><strong>the Rockies signed him to a seven year deal worth $182 million</strong></a>. A nice payoff for a guy whose service time was shamelessly manipulated by the <a href="https://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/"><strong>Cubs</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="cDIjCf">The Phillies find themselves in a very tough division with both the <a href="https://www.amazinavenue.com/"><strong>Mets</strong></a> and the Braves making big moves. However, the Phillies are always willing to spend to try and keep pace and they did so as <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/16/22981339/phillies-sign-kyle-schwarber"><strong>they signed Kyle Schwarber to a four year, $79 million contract</strong></a>. </li>
<li id="E0AFbe">We all remember Joctober and how important Joc Pederson was to the Braves turning around their season and making their <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/world-series"><strong>World Series</strong></a> run. Now, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/16/22982095/giants-sign-joc-pederson"><strong>Joc is headed back to the west coast as the Giants signed him to a one year deal</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="7pPMAA">
<a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=66960X1516590&xs=1&url=https://theathletic.com/3188098/2022/03/15/judge-rules-minor-league-players-are-mlb-employees-throughout-year-and-are-owed-damages/&referrer=sbnation.com&sref=https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/16/22980565/mlb-trade-rumors-news-braves-matt-olson-extension&xcust=___sb__p_22752874__t_w__r_mlbdailydish.com__d_D" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>A federal judge has ruled that minor league players are MLB employees throughout the year</strong></a>, rather than seasonal apprentices as the league claimed, meaning that plaintiffs in the trial are entitled to nearly $2 million in damages. This could be a major development in minor leaguers’ lengthy quest to be paid a living wage.</li>
<li id="xM1EHA">
<a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/16/22980525/yankees-sign-anthony-rizzo"><strong>The Yankees have brought back Anthony Rizzo on a two-year, $32 million deal</strong></a> with an opt-out after 2022 — certainly a solid deal for the three-time All-Star, but probably not nearly what he thought he’d get a couple years ago.</li>
<li id="rztBeN">As if the <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/world-series"><strong>World Series</strong></a> champion Braves weren’t already intriguing enough, they went out and signed one of baseball’s best relievers in 2021, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/15/22980083/mlb-news-atlanta-braves-sign-collin-mchugh-to-two-year-10-million-deal"><strong>agreeing to a two-year, $10 million deal with right-hander Collin McHugh</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="wknJBS">The <a href="https://www.brewcrewball.com/"><strong>Brewers</strong></a>, who always seem to have four or five starting-caliber outfielders, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/14/22978373/brewers-to-sign-andrew-mccutchen-per-report"><strong>added former MVP Andrew McCutchen to their outfield mix</strong></a>. He’ll join Christian Yelich, Lorenzo Cain, Tyrone Taylor, and Hunter Renfroe on a club that is looking to replace slugger Avisaíl García.</li>
<li id="R6Au2b">
<a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/14/22978068/mariners-reds-jesse-winker-eugenio-suarez-trade"><strong>The Mariners acquired one of baseball’s best hitters in a deal that was essentially a salary dump</strong></a>, as Cincinnati sent Jesse Winker to Seattle and shed the remaining three years and $35 million on Eugenio Suárez’s contract in the process. The Mariners’ lineup gets significantly better with the addition of Winker, who posted a .949 OPS last season, and though Suárez struggled to make contact and get on base in 2021, he still provides some intrigue after hitting 31 homers for the season and posting a 1.268 OPS in September and beyond. The Reds get right-hander Justin Dunn, outfielder Jake Fraley, and minor league lefty Brandon Williamson in return.</li>
<li id="KHPA28">
<a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/14/22977482/padres-fernando-tatis-jr-wrist-surgery"><strong>Fernando Tatis Jr., who apparently had several minor motorcycle accidents this offseason, suffered a fractured wrist at some point during the lockout</strong></a>. His inability to communicate with the Padres’ medical staff while the league was shut down delayed a resolution to the issue, but now it appears he’s headed for surgery and could be out as long as three months.</li>
<li id="L509mi">The Cardinals have <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/11/22972863/mlb-news-cardinals-sign-drew-verhagen-to-two-year-5-5-million-deal"><strong>signed Drew VerHagen to a two-year, $5.5 million deal</strong></a>.</li>

<li id="w1Fq80">In a move shocking literally no one, the <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/13/22975682/nationals-juan-soto-working-contract-extension"><strong>Nationals are determined to extend young phenom Juan Soto</strong></a><strong>.</strong>

<li id="NPKVuA">The <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/13/22976353/yankees-acquire-josh-donaldson-from-twins-per-report"><strong>Yankees have acquired Josh Donaldson, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and Ben Rortvedt from the Twins</strong></a><strong> </strong>in exchange for Gary Sánchez and Gio Urshela.</li>
<li id="jCx8cd">Apple and Major League Baseball announced that two games <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/03/apple-and-major-league-baseball-to-offer-friday-night-baseball/"><strong>will air exclusively on Apple TV+ each Friday night beginning this season</strong></a>. It’s another obstacle to MLB fans being able to watch their teams’ games, as the games will be blacked out on MLB.tv and will only be available through the $4.99/month streaming app. However, it gives the league another infusion of cash and was likely a factor in MLB’s decision to increase their offers in CBA negotiations.</li>
<li id="YqYIOy">After just four seasons running the Marlins, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/2/28/22955393/derek-jeter-steps-down-as-miami-marlins-ceo-shareholder-bruce-sherman"><strong>Derek Jeter has stepped down as CEO and will sell his stake in the team</strong></a>. It’s a surprisingly quick end to what seemed to be a long-term vision for Jeter in Miami.</li>
<li id="pcoj4D">The <a href="https://www.overthemonster.com/"><strong>Red Sox</strong></a> have signed right-hander Tyler Danish to a minor league contract, <a href="https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/02/red-sox-sign-tyler-danish-to-minors-deal.html"><strong>Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors reports</strong></a>. The contract contains an invitation to Boston’s big league Spring Training camp. The RHP adds some low-risk, high-reward depth to Boston’s staff. The 27-year old has sparsely seen time on a major league mound, making only 11 appearances between 2016-2018, pitching a 4.85 ERA over 13 innings. He did, however, strike out 11 batters in those 13 innings, a promising glimmer of what the Red Sox hope is a diamond in the rough.</li>
<li id="4qEfPX">Ryan Zimmerman, the only player from the inaugural <a href="https://www.federalbaseball.com/"><strong>Washington Nationals</strong></a> roster who still remained with the team — and, in fact, the only player from that team who was in the majors at all — <a href="https://twitter.com/CAA_Baseball/status/1493676760545775629?s=20&t=CZIROvrs5N7w1wUHxYOynw"><strong>announced his retirement last week</strong></a>. Zimmerman, 37, made his major league debut less than two months after becoming Washington’s first-ever draft pick in 2005, and he spent the entirety of his 17-year career in D.C. (though he opted out of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic). Zimmerman finishes his career as a two-time All-Star, two-time Silver Slugger, and 2019 <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/world-series"><strong>World Series</strong></a> champ. In 1,799 career games, he posted a .277/.341/.475 slash line, and he finished his career on a strong note, hitting .243/.286/.471 with 14 homers over 110 games in a part-time role.</li>
<li id="F2nEK4">
<a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/2/8/22924172/dodgers-trevor-bauer-criminal-charges"><strong>Trevor Bauer will not face criminal charges in the Los Angeles court system</strong></a> resulting from a sexual assault case that was opened last year. While the decision likely increases his chances of pitching at some point in 2022, MLB’s investigation of the incident remains open and is unlikely to be resolved before the end of the lockout.</li>
<li id="qn5R4i">
<a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/1/25/22901680/david-ortiz-elected-to-baseball-hall-of-fame-bonds-clemens-off-ballot"><strong>David Ortiz was the lone player elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the BBWAA</strong></a>. Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, and Curt Schilling, all of whom have hovered near the 75% induction threshold in recent years, did not receive the necessary voting total in their final year on the ballot, and now the only chance for any of them to be enshrined in Cooperstown is through a veterans committee.</li>
<li id="G9IQTh">MLB has <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/1/20/22893441/mlb-kills-deal-for-rays-to-split-time-between-tampa-bay-and-montreal"><strong>killed a deal that would have split the Rays’ time between Tampa Bay and Montreal</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="2zlXg2">Amid a flurry of hirings and promotions, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/1/18/22889925/dodgers-promote-brandon-gomes-general-manager"><strong>the Dodgers announced that they have promoted assistant GM/vice president Brandon Gomes to general manager</strong></a>. He’ll report to the president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and is the first person to hold the Dodgers’ GM title since Farhan Zaidi left for San Francisco after the 2018 season. The hiring of Gomes, who pitched for the Rays from 2011-15, continues a recent trend of MLB teams re-integrating former players into senior management roles. He joins <a href="https://www.thegoodphight.com/"><strong>Phillies</strong></a> GM Sam Fuld, Rangers GM Chris Young, Athletics VP of baseball operations Billy Beane, and Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto as former major leaguers who are now in front-facing executive roles.</li>
<li id="ghUKhs">
<a href="https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/rachel-balkovec-to-manage-yankees-low-a-team"><strong>The Yankees have hired Rachel Balkovec as manager for their low-A team, the Tampa Tarpons, making her the first female skipper in affiliated professional baseball</strong></a>. The 34-year old has already made a massive name for herself in the baseball world, starting out as a strength and conditioning coach for the <a href="https://www.vivaelbirdos.com/"><strong>St. Louis Cardinals</strong></a> in 2012. In 2016, she made the jump to the <a href="https://www.crawfishboxes.com/"><strong>Houston Astros</strong></a> as Latin American strength and conditioning coordinator—a position she learned Spanish for. From there she moved on to become the strength and conditioning coach for Double-A Corpus Christi and has served as a hitting coach in the Yankees organization for the last three seasons.</li>
<li id="7WEj6Q">When Fanatics came somewhat out of nowhere to snag the MLB license to make baseball cards out from under Topps, the writing was on the wall for the future of Topps as a company. Without the MLB license, Topps did not really have anything going for it except name recognition and that would not be able to compete with actual licensed cards. As a result, <a href="https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/32988992/fanatics-acquiring-topps-trading-cards-collectables-businesses-sources-say"><strong>it was announced that Fanatics is buying Topps outright</strong></a><strong>,</strong> which should make the transition much smoother and could preserve many of the Topps brands fans have grown to love.</li>
<li id="yinipA">The <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/12/20/22847314/athletics-hire-mark-kotsay-manager"><strong>Athletics have hired Mark Kotsay as the team’s latest manager</strong></a>. Kotsay played for the team from 2004-2007, diving into coaching after retiring in 2013. After spending some time as San Diego’s hitting coach, Kotsay took on the bench coach role for Oakland, following that up with positions as quality control coach and first base coach.</li>
<li id="fx6fIw">The <a href="https://www.amazinavenue.com/"><strong>Mets</strong></a> <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/12/18/22844086/mets-hire-buck-showalter-manager"><strong>have hired Buck Showalter as their new manager</strong></a>. The 65-year-old has a 1,551-1,517 career record, and will be taking his place in Queens for the next three years. He’ll be the Mets third manager in five years, and just like he was able to do in Baltimore, can hopefully bring some hope to a team whose has fighting chance potential.</li>
<li id="DRnxmH">Six new members have been elected to the National Baseball Hall Of Fame, revealed by today’s special selection committee meetings. <a href="https://baseballhall.org/discover/baseball-history/hall-calls-six-via-golden-days-early-baseball-era-committees"><strong>Cooperstown will now have new residents Bud Fowler, Gil Hodges, Jim Kaat, Minnie Miñoso, Tony Oliva, and Buck O’Neil</strong></a>, who will be officially inducted on July 24 along with the players to be voted in by the standard writers’ ballot.</li>
<li id="MRRKmE">One of the easier types of deals to do when faced with a hard deadline like the expiration of the CBA is to bring back a player that was on your team last year. Without concerns about medicals or background checks, there are far fewer hurdles for the moves <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/12/1/22812779/dodgers-sign-chris-taylor"><strong>like the Dodgers bringing back Chris Taylor on a four year deal</strong></a> to overcome with a tight window.</li>
<li id="J4rXUW">The Giants continued assembling their 2022 rotation, <a href="https://www.mlb.com/giants/news/alex-cobb-giants-deal"><strong>signing right-hander Alex Cobb to a two-year, $20 million deal with a club option for 2024</strong></a>. Cobb has largely struggled since leaving the Rays following the 2017 season, but he was pretty good over 18 starts for the Angels in 2021, throwing for a 3.76 ERA with 98 strikeouts and 33 walks in 93.1 innings. The Giants are betting on Cobb getting the same San Francisco boost that pitchers like Kevin Gausman, Drew Smyly, Anthony DeSclafani, and Alex Wood have received over the past two seasons.</li>
<li id="Z16YZz">The Rangers have been arguably the most aggressive team in free agency this offseason. After already locking in Marcus Semien to a seven year deal among other moves, the Rangers got another high profile infielder as <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/29/22808619/rangers-sign-corey-seager"><strong>they signed Corey Seager to a massive 10 year, $325 million deal</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="zwYNnZ">Everyone has been waiting for months for the fate of Marcell Ozuna in the wake of the domestic violence charges against him. After a winding tale during the legal process that saw his charges downgraded and saw him enter a diversion program, the league finally weighed in as <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/29/22808614/atlanta-braves-news-marcell-ozuna-receives-retroactive-20-game-suspension-domestic-violence-charges"><strong>they gave him a 20 game retroactive suspension</strong></a>. He will not miss a game during the 2022 season.</li>
<li id="TDYsgR">Normally, the reigning Cy Young award winner signing with a new team would be the headline for most baseball news cycles. That it wasn’t speaks volumes to how crazy it was on the transaction front. <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/29/22808419/mariners-sign-robbie-ray"><strong>Robbie Ray does, in fact, have a new squad as the Mariners inked him to a five year, $115 million</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="fqEg9o">The <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/28/22807091/rangers-close-to-signing-jon-gray-to-four-year-deal-per-report"><strong>Rangers are close to signing Jon Gray to four-year deal</strong></a><strong>.</strong> The 30-year old showcased some amazing breaking pitches before his success trailed off at the end of the 2021 season. But for the Rangers right now, any kind of pitching is good pitching.</li>

<a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/28/22807025/blue-jays-sign-kevin-gausman"><strong>Kevin Gausman has agreed to a five-year, $110 million deal with Blue Jays</strong></a><strong>.</strong> While Gausman struggled in the second half of last season, posting a concerning 4.42 ERA after the All-Star Break, he still finished sixth in Cy Young voting and was undoubtably the Giants’ ace at one point. We all go through rough patches, right?</li>
<li id="P1FuCN">
<a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/28/22806695/marcus-semien-signs-seven-year-deal-with-rangers-per-report"><strong>Marcus Semien has signed a seven-year deal with the Rangers</strong></a>. The star infielder put on quite the show last season, slashing .265/.334/.538 with 45 home runs. Now, the Rangers have locked him down until 2028 — the year he turns 38.</li>
<li id="gyoJaA">The <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/28/22806633/twins-sign-byron-buxton-to-seven-year-100-million-extension-per-report"><strong>Twins signed Byron Buxton to a massive seven year, $100 million extension,</strong></a>because ‘tis the season for astronomical contracts. The Twins are rolling the dice on their homegrown talent — while Buxton is a powerhouse of a player, he is beyond injury prone. If Minnesota can keep him healthy for more than 90 games a season, their risk will be well worth it.</li>
<li id="4byyNn">The Rays and Wander Franco both took major gambles, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/23/22798870/rays-wander-franco-extension"><strong>agreeing to an 11-year extension with a club option for a 12th year</strong></a> that will pay Franco a guaranteed $182 million. If all goes right for the Rays, they’ll control a generational superstar through his age-33 season. They’re betting big on a player who has played in just 70 major league games, though, while Franco is sacrificing the possibility of signing a deal that could be twice as big in exchange for more financial certainty now.</li>
<li id="aXLGvb">The Giants had themselves a busy day as they, at least partially, sought to get the band back together for next season. They were successful on a couple fronts as <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/22/22797564/giants-sign-anthony-desclafani-to-three-year-36-million-per-report"><strong>they inked starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani to a three-year deal </strong></a>and shortly after that, his fellow member of <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/22/22797586/giants-sign-alex-wood"><strong>the Giants’ 2021 rotation, Alex Wood, joined him on a two-year deal</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="i5i0n7">Despite all of the drama surrounding the tenure of manager Alex Cora with regards to the sign stealing scandal that impacted both his time with the <a href="https://www.crawfishboxes.com/"><strong>Astros</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.overthemonster.com/"><strong>Red Sox</strong></a>, Boston seems very keen on keep the manager on that won them a <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/world-series"><strong>World Series</strong></a> title AND helped them put together a surprising run this season deep into the playoffs as <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/22/22796393/red-sox-exercise-manager-alex-coras-options-for-2023-and-2024"><strong>they went ahead and exercised their options on his deal for 2023 and 2024</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="HMlotQ">Giants first baseman Brandon Belt <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/17/22788128/giants-brandon-belt-accepts-qualifying-offer"><strong>was the only player in the majors to accept the one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer from his previous club</strong></a>, and he’ll return to a San Francisco team that he helped propel to 107 wins in 2020.</li>
<li id="HFOnan">Justin Verlander rejected the qualifying offer, but he quickly re-upped with the <a href="https://www.crawfishboxes.com/"><strong>Astros</strong></a>, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/17/22788374/astros-re-sign-justin-verlander-per-report"><strong>agreeing to a one-year, $25 million deal with a $25 million player option for 2023</strong></a>. That’s an impressive commitment on the part of the Astros, who will bring back a future Hall of Famer but will gamble on an aging starter who has pitched in just one game over the past two seasons.</li>
<li id="h4z3SD">The <a href="https://www.amazinavenue.com/"><strong>Mets</strong></a> tendered the one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer to Noah Syndergaard, but instead of sticking with the club he’s spent his entire major league career with, the oft-injured starter opted to take on a new challenge and a slightly more lucrative deal, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/16/22785235/angels-to-sign-noah-syndergaard-to-one-year-21-million-deal-per-report"><strong>signing a one-year, $21 million deal with the Angels</strong></a>. After making just two appearances over the last two years, Syndergaard is gambling that he can stay healthy in 2022 and help turn around a franchise that has struggled badly at evaluating free agent pitchers in recent seasons.</li>
<li id="G0Oags">The Blue Jays turned some heads when they gave up highly-regarded prospects Simeon Woods-Richardson and Austin Martin to acquire starter José Berríos at the trade deadline this year, but now they’re in it for the long haul with the former Twins starter <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/16/22785159/toronto-blue-jays-news-jose-berrios-seven-year-contract-extension"><strong>after signing him to a seven-year, $131 million extension</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="rrKjtz">The Mets have pretty famously struggled to find someone to take their general manager job. After getting turned down by a number of candidates, New York offered the position to <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/15/22784139/mets-billy-eppler-general-manager"><strong>former Angels GM Billy Eppler, and he accepted the job</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="3rnUC6">The <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/12/22778939/giants-gabe-kapler-contract-extension"><strong>Giants have extended Gabe Kapler’s contract through 2024</strong></a>. It makes sense for the Giants to keep the party going with Kapler; he’s taken a team that was seemingly short on talent in 2020 and transformed them into the most winning team in 2021 (107, to be exact).</li>
<li id="XiGQUe">Starting in the 2022 season, all 30 teams will now <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/32419545/major-league-baseball-require-teams-provide-housing-minor-league-players-starting-2022-sources-say"><strong>be required to provide housing to all minor league players, ESPN.com’s Jeff Passan</strong></a> reports. Last month team owners held a vote on the subject that passed unanimously. The intricacies are still being worked out on if teams will be giving players stipends for housing or if they will provide it directly. Considering the conditions that an overwhelming amount of minor leaguers have been subject to, this is a welcome improvement to the quality of their lives.</li>

<p>Pretty good deal for a 23-year-old.</p> <p id="tOOlPT">All-Star outfielder Juan Soto and the Nationals have avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $17.1 million deal. MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand was among the reporters to tweet out the news on Tuesday evening.</p>
<div id="ndCqUD">

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Juan Soto and the Nationals have agreed to a $17.1 million contract to avoid arbitration, per source.</p>— Mark Feinsand (@Feinsand) <a href="https://twitter.com/Feinsand/status/1506416049717190662?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 22, 2022</a>

<p id="ULV6cF">Soto, who was a “super two” player and is in his second season of arbitration eligibility, gets a sizable raise from the $8.5 million he made in 2021. The two-time Silver Slugger, 2019 World Series champion and 2019 All-Star is still under Nationals control for the 2023 and ‘24 seasons as well, so this deal gives him a solid chance to break salary records for arbitration-eligible players before he actually hits free agency. <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/13/22975682/nationals-juan-soto-working-contract-extension">Unless, of course, he signs a long-term extension with Washington</a>, which GM Mike Rizzo has said is his biggest goal. For that reason, the Nationals certainly were motivated to avoid arbitration with Soto, as arguing your case for why a player deserves less money than he wants while he’s in the room tends to negatively affect player-team relationships.</p>
<p id="9FWtnw">Soto, 23, is a .301/.432/.550 career hitter over four major league seasons. He hit .313/.465/.534 with 29 homers and 95 RBI in 2021, leading the majors in on-base percentage and finishing second in National League MVP voting. His 7.1 bWAR was also the highest of any NL position player.</p>

<p>Trea Turner just got a healthy raise.</p> <p id="A12pff">One of the primary reasons that the Nationals decided to part ways with Trea Turner and trade him to the Dodgers was that is was clear he was going to be making big time money both in the short and long-term. With the Nationals not set to contend in the near-term, having a luxury like Trea around (especially with his free agency looming) didn’t make the most sense.</p>
<p id="CcfSBE">However, what that meant is that for 2022, the Dodgers were on the hook for what the arbitration process would yield for Turner’s final year as an arb-eligible player. The estimates for him for this season were in the $19 million range and, well, he did a little better than that.</p>
<div id="fJnwPJ">

</div>
<p id="0TBNsB">With Corey Seager leaving LA, the Dodgers could be trying to convince Trea to stay for the long-haul as their shortstop. One step towards that goal is making sure there is no acrimony over his 2022 contract and it is fair to say that he is going to be very well compensated this season. Turner has become one of the top players in the league thanks to very solid defense at a premium position, top end speed that he uses to full effect, and a lot of production at the plate. </p>
<p id="UlesTm">We knew he would be a Dodger in 2022, now the question is whether or not the Dodgers can convince him to stay on a long-term extension or do the giga dollars he is likely to find in free agency make him want to explore the free market a bit. Regardless, the Dodgers seem set for 2022 season as they assembled one of the best lineups we have seen in baseball in some time.</p>

<p>The Blue Jays’ new third baseman got a two year deal to avoid arbitration.</p> <p id="GHtwBC">When the Blue Jays sent a significant haul of prospects to the Athletics in exchange for Matt Chapman’s services, the idea was that he was going to be around to help them remain competitive in the AL East for at least a little while. However, one small wrinkle in the process of integrating him into Toronto’s organization was that he is an arbitration eligible player and had a chance at being a pretty expensive one at that.</p>
<p id="WUtnSK">Normally on days like today, we see players reach an agreement on a one year deal to avoid arbitration or the two sides just exchange figures and wait for a hearing to decide. However, we do occasional see longer deals announced like the one we have today. </p>

<p id="L0Ouz8">Realistically, Chapman may be doing the Blue Jays a solid by agreeing to this two year deal which effectively buys out the last two years of arbitration eligibility he has left. Sure, Chapman gets some financial security that protects him on the off chance that he has a bad year. However, there is also a decent or better chance that he would have gotten more in arbitration if he just performed as expected.</p>
<p id="XaPOxq">That said, it doesn’t matter all THAT much since this doesn’t impact when he is expected to hit free agency and financial security is a real consideration for a lot of players. The Blue Jays can now also budget for this year and next with some more accuracy and based on how aggressive they have been this offseason, that could pay dividends down the road.</p>

<p>Today we will see a ton of info on arbitration cases. We are compiling all of the info that comes out so its easy to find.</p> <p id="Om6Rf5">Today is an important day for baseball as it is the deadline for teams and players to exchange arbitration figures. I think I speak for baseball fans everywhere when I say that it is nice to be talking about actual baseball news instead of reporting on how many times league and/or MLBPA officials walk across a parking lot during talks.</p>
<p id="OELHqy">As of this morning, there were nearly 200 arbitration-eligible players that had to either reach agreements with their teams on a contract for the 2022 season and avoid arbitration this year or exchange filing figures with their teams and prepare for an arbitration hearing (which will take place during the season because of the lockout). While this article won’t be a deep dive into each arbitration case, below you will find a rolling tally of the settlements (which will represent the vast majority of cases) and filing figures for each team as they become available leading up to the 1 PM deadline today</p>

<p>The Rockies lock up the skilled defender on a long-term deal.</p> <p id="EbrcHw">The Rockies are in agreement on a six-year, $70 million extension with infielder Ryan McMahon, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. This move continues an interesting offseason spending spree for Colorado, which has also extended right-hander Antonio Senzatela and first baseman C.J. Cron, signed shortstop José Iglesias and reliever Alex Colomé to one-year deals, and inked former MVP Kris Bryant to a seven-year, $182 million deal, despite their historic reluctance to spend and the fact that they’re not expected to finish any better than fourth in the NL West this year.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Versatile infielder Ryan McMahon and the Colorado Rockies are in agreement on a six-year, $70 million contract extension, sources familiar with deal tell ESPN. McMahon, 27, took a leap forward defensively in 2021 and has enough thunder in his bat for Colorado to commit long-term.</p>— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) <a href="https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/1505973522853675008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 21, 2022</a>

<p id="xjVBmH">With two 20-plus homer seasons in five years, including a 23-homer campaign in 2021, the 27-year-old McMahon has shown that he’s capable of being an impactful power hitter at the major league level, though with a .323 career on-base percentage, he has yet to prove that he’ll be consistent enough to be an above-average big-league hitter. </p>
<p id="G78Fy6">McMahon’s greatest skill, however, is his defense, and that was likely the greatest motivation in the Rockies giving him a long-term deal. He collected 13 defensive runs saved in 113 games at third base and nine in 52 games at second, which was crucial in the career-high 4.0 bWAR he posted in 2021. With Bryant, a player who traditionally has shifted between third base and the corner outfield spots as needs dictate, the Rockies can feel comfortable playing McMahon at the hot corner on most days, but he’s also very good at second if they choose to play Bryant at third.</p>

<p>It was a busy past few days for many east coast teams.</p> <p id="K2e9wY">While the initial rush of deals and trades post-lockout has putted out, we’re still seeing the movement of some very big names as we come closer to Opening Day. Some of those being names and teams we can’t say we were fully expecting—Kenley Jansen?! To the Braves?! Just in case some of those news nuggets slipped through your notification cracks, we’ve done the legwork for you, as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that’ll be a home run. And so that’ll make it a 4-0 ballgame.</p>
<ul>
<li id="5jJaLG">In a deal going down 2AM EST and shocking most, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/19/22986174/twins-sign-carlos-correa"><strong>the Minnesota Twins have signed Carlos Correa</strong></a> to a monster three-year, $105.3M contract (that contains opt-outs after the first two seasons, just in case). </li>
<li id="WluFuO">The Braves, who literally cannot be stopped nor contained,<a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/19/22986094/braves-sign-kenley-jansen"><strong> have signed reliever Kenley Jansen</strong></a> to a one-year, $16M deal. </li>
<li id="3z9Geo">
<a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/18/22986070/phillies-sign-nick-castellanos"><strong>The Phillies have signed Nick Castellanos</strong></a>, who was kind enough to break his own relocation with an artsy Instagram shot of Philadelphia. The slugger heads there by way of a 5-year, $100M deal, which absolutely makes hearing “wutter” for the next half a decade worth it.</li>
<li id="fWIXtS">In a very interested and possibly drama-laden turn of events, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/18/22985102/padres-yankees-luke-voit-justin-lange-trade"><strong>the Yankees have traded Luke Voit</strong></a> to the Padres for pitching prospect Justin Lange. </li>
<li id="IQUrQI">Freddie Freeman was not the only top player to find a new team. Kris Bryant finally got his payday as <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/16/22981984/rockies-sign-kris-bryant-to-seven-year-182-million-deal"><strong>the Rockies signed him to a seven year deal worth $182 million</strong></a>. A nice payoff for a guy whose service time was shamelessly manipulated by the <a href="https://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/">Cubs</a>.</li>
<li id="cDIjCf">The Phillies find themselves in a very tough division with both the <a href="https://www.amazinavenue.com/">Mets</a> and the Braves making big moves. However, the Phillies are always willing to spend to try and keep pace and they did so as <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/16/22981339/phillies-sign-kyle-schwarber"><strong>they signed Kyle Schwarber to a four year, $79 million contract</strong></a>. </li>
<li id="E0AFbe">We all remember Joctober and how important Joc Pederson was to the Braves turning around their season and making their <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/world-series">World Series</a> run. Now, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/16/22982095/giants-sign-joc-pederson"><strong>Joc is headed back to the west coast as the Giants to a one year deal</strong></a>.</li>

<li id="xM1EHA">
<a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/16/22980525/yankees-sign-anthony-rizzo"><strong>The Yankees have brought back Anthony Rizzo on a two-year, $32 million deal</strong></a> with an opt-out after 2022 — certainly a solid deal for the three-time All-Star, but probably not nearly what he thought he’d get a couple years ago.</li>
<li id="rztBeN">As if the <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/world-series"><strong>World Series</strong></a> champion Braves weren’t already intriguing enough, they went out and signed one of baseball’s best relievers in 2021 on Tuesday, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/15/22980083/mlb-news-atlanta-braves-sign-collin-mchugh-to-two-year-10-million-deal"><strong>agreeing to a two-year, $10 million deal with right-hander Collin McHugh</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="wknJBS">The <a href="https://www.brewcrewball.com/"><strong>Brewers</strong></a>, who always seem to have four or five starting-caliber outfielders, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/14/22978373/brewers-to-sign-andrew-mccutchen-per-report"><strong>added former MVP Andrew McCutchen to their outfield mix on Monday</strong></a>.

<a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/14/22978068/mariners-reds-jesse-winker-eugenio-suarez-trade"><strong>The Mariners acquired one of baseball’s best hitters in a deal that was essentially a salary dump</strong></a>, as Cincinnati sent Jesse Winker to Seattle and shed the remaining three years and $35 million on Eugenio Suárez’s contract in the process. The Mariners’ lineup gets significantly better with the addition of Winker, who posted a .949 OPS last season, and though Suárez struggled to make contact and get on base in 2021, he still provides some intrigue after hitting 31 homers for the season and posting a 1.268 OPS in September and beyond. The Reds get right-hander Justin Dunn, outfielder Jake Fraley, and minor league lefty Brandon Williamson in return.</li>
<li id="KHPA28">
<a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/3/14/22977482/padres-fernando-tatis-jr-wrist-surgery"><strong>Fernando Tatis Jr., who apparently had several minor motorcycle accidents this offseason, suffered a fractured wrist at some point during the lockout</strong></a>. His inability to communicate with the Padres’ medical staff while the league was shut down delayed a resolution to the issue, but now it appears he’s headed for surgery and could be out as long as three months.</li>

<li id="jCx8cd">Apple and Major League Baseball announced that two games <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/03/apple-and-major-league-baseball-to-offer-friday-night-baseball/"><strong>will air exclusively on Apple TV+ each Friday night beginning this season</strong></a>. It’s another obstacle to MLB fans being able to watch their teams’ games, as the games will be blacked out on MLB.tv and will only be available through the $4.99/month streaming app. However, it gives the league another infusion of cash and was likely a factor in MLB’s decision to increase their offers in CBA negotiations.</li>
<li id="YqYIOy">After just four seasons running the Marlins, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/2/28/22955393/derek-jeter-steps-down-as-miami-marlins-ceo-shareholder-bruce-sherman"><strong>Derek Jeter has stepped down as CEO and will sell his stake in the team</strong></a>.

<li id="pcoj4D">The <a href="https://www.overthemonster.com/"><strong>Red Sox</strong></a> have signed right-hander Tyler Danish to a minor league contract, <a href="https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/02/red-sox-sign-tyler-danish-to-minors-deal.html"><strong>Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors reports</strong></a>. The contract contains an invitation to Boston’s big league Spring Training camp. The RHP adds some low-risk, high-reward depth to Boston’s staff. The 27-year old has sparsely seen time on a major league mound, making only 11 appearances between 2016-2018, pitching a 4.85 ERA over 13 innings. He did, however, strike out 11 batters in those 13 innings, a promising glimmer of what the Red Sox hope is a diamond in the rough.</li>
<li id="4qEfPX">Ryan Zimmerman, the only player from the inaugural <a href="https://www.federalbaseball.com/"><strong>Washington Nationals</strong></a> roster who still remained with the team — and, in fact, the only player from that team who was in the majors at all — <a href="https://twitter.com/CAA_Baseball/status/1493676760545775629?s=20&t=CZIROvrs5N7w1wUHxYOynw"><strong>announced his retirement last week</strong></a>. Zimmerman, 37, made his major league debut less than two months after becoming Washington’s first-ever draft pick in 2005, and he spent the entirety of his 17-year career in D.C. (though he opted out of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic). Zimmerman finishes his career as a two-time All-Star, two-time Silver Slugger, and 2019 <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/world-series"><strong>World Series</strong></a> champ. In 1,799 career games, he posted a .277/.341/.475 slash line, and he finished his career on a strong note, hitting .243/.286/.471 with 14 homers over 110 games in a part-time role.</li>

<li id="2zlXg2">Amid a flurry of hirings and promotions, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2022/1/18/22889925/dodgers-promote-brandon-gomes-general-manager"><strong>the Dodgers announced that they have promoted assistant GM/vice president Brandon Gomes to general manager</strong></a>. He’ll report to the president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and is the first person to hold the Dodgers’ GM title since Farhan Zaidi left for San Francisco after the 2018 season. The hiring of Gomes, who pitched for the Rays from 2011-15, continues a recent trend of MLB teams re-integrating former players into senior management roles. He joins <a href="https://www.thegoodphight.com/"><strong>Phillies</strong></a> GM Sam Fuld, Rangers GM Chris Young, Athletics VP of baseball operations Billy Beane, and Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto as former major leaguers who are now in front-facing executive roles.</li>

<a href="https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/rachel-balkovec-to-manage-yankees-low-a-team"><strong>The Yankees have hired Rachel Balkovec as manager for their low-A team, the Tampa Tarpons, making her the first female skipper in affiliated professional baseball</strong></a>. The 34-year old has already made a massive name for herself in the baseball world, starting out as a strength and conditioning coach for the <a href="https://www.vivaelbirdos.com/"><strong>St. Louis Cardinals</strong></a> in 2012. In 2016, she made the jump to the <a href="https://www.crawfishboxes.com/"><strong>Houston Astros</strong></a> as Latin American strength and conditioning coordinator—a position she learned Spanish for. From there she moved on to become the strength and conditioning coach for Double-A Corpus Christi and has served as a hitting coach in the Yankees organization for the last three seasons.</li>
<li id="7WEj6Q">When Fanatics came somewhat out of nowhere to snag the MLB license to make baseball cards out from under Topps, the writing was on the wall for the future of Topps as a company. Without the MLB license, Topps did not really have anything going for it except name recognition and that would not be able to compete with actual licensed cards. As a result, <a href="https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/32988992/fanatics-acquiring-topps-trading-cards-collectables-businesses-sources-say"><strong>it was announced that Fanatics is buying Topps outright</strong></a><strong>,</strong> which should make the transition much smoother and could preserve many of the Topps brands fans have grown to love.</li>
<li id="yinipA">The <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/12/20/22847314/athletics-hire-mark-kotsay-manager"><strong>Athletics have hired Mark Kotsay as the team’s latest manager</strong></a>. Kotsay played for the team from 2004-2007, diving into coaching after retiring in 2013. After spending some time as San Diego’s hitting coach, Kotsay took on the bench coach role for Oakland, following that up with positions as quality control coach and first base coach.</li>
<li id="fx6fIw">The <a href="https://www.amazinavenue.com/"><strong>Mets</strong></a> <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/12/18/22844086/mets-hire-buck-showalter-manager"><strong>have hired Buck Showalter as their new manager</strong></a>. The 65-year-old has a 1,551-1,517 career record, and will be taking his place in Queens for the next three years. He’ll be the Mets third manager in five years, and just like he was able to do in Baltimore, can hopefully bring some hope to a team whose has fighting chance potential.</li>
<li id="DRnxmH">Six new members have been elected to the National Baseball Hall Of Fame, revealed by today’s special selection committee meetings. <a href="https://baseballhall.org/discover/baseball-history/hall-calls-six-via-golden-days-early-baseball-era-committees"><strong>Cooperstown will now have new residents Bud Fowler, Gil Hodges, Jim Kaat, Minnie Miñoso, Tony Oliva, and Buck O’Neil</strong></a>, who will be officially inducted on July 24 along with the players to be voted in by the standard writers’ ballot.</li>
<li id="MRRKmE">One of the easier types of deals to do when faced with a hard deadline like the expiration of the CBA is to bring back a player that was on your team last year. Without concerns about medicals or background checks, there are far fewer hurdles for the moves <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/12/1/22812779/dodgers-sign-chris-taylor"><strong>like the Dodgers bringing back Chris Taylor on a four year deal</strong></a> to overcome with a tight window.</li>
<li id="J4rXUW">The Giants continued assembling their 2022 rotation, <a href="https://www.mlb.com/giants/news/alex-cobb-giants-deal"><strong>signing right-hander Alex Cobb to a two-year, $20 million deal with a club option for 2024</strong></a>. Cobb has largely struggled since leaving the Rays following the 2017 season, but he was pretty good over 18 starts for the Angels in 2021, throwing for a 3.76 ERA with 98 strikeouts and 33 walks in 93.1 innings. The Giants are betting on Cobb getting the same San Francisco boost that pitchers like Kevin Gausman, Drew Smyly, Anthony DeSclafani, and Alex Wood have received over the past two seasons.</li>
<li id="Z16YZz">The Rangers have been arguably the most aggressive team in free agency this offseason. After already locking in Marcus Semien to a seven year deal among other moves, the Rangers got another high profile infielder as <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/29/22808619/rangers-sign-corey-seager"><strong>they signed Corey Seager to a massive 10 year, $325 million deal</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="zwYNnZ">Everyone has been waiting for months for the fate of Marcell Ozuna in the wake of the domestic violence charges against him. After a winding tale during the legal process that saw his charges downgraded and saw him enter a diversion program, the league finally weighed in as <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/29/22808614/atlanta-braves-news-marcell-ozuna-receives-retroactive-20-game-suspension-domestic-violence-charges"><strong>they gave him a 20 game retroactive suspension</strong></a>. He will not miss a game during the 2022 season.</li>
<li id="TDYsgR">Normally, the reigning Cy Young award winner signing with a new team would be the headline for most baseball news cycles. That it wasn’t speaks volumes to how crazy it was on the transaction front. <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/29/22808419/mariners-sign-robbie-ray"><strong>Robbie Ray does, in fact, have a new squad as the Mariners inked him to a five year, $115 million</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="fqEg9o">The <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/28/22807091/rangers-close-to-signing-jon-gray-to-four-year-deal-per-report"><strong>Rangers are close to signing Jon Gray to four-year deal</strong></a><strong>.</strong> The 30-year old showcased some amazing breaking pitches before his success trailed off at the end of the 2021 season. But for the Rangers right now, any kind of pitching is good pitching.</li>
<li id="ALrmYM">
<a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/28/22807025/blue-jays-sign-kevin-gausman"><strong>Kevin Gausman has agreed to a five-year, $110 million deal with Blue Jays</strong></a><strong>.</strong> While Gausman struggled in the second half of last season, posting a concerning 4.42 ERA after the All-Star Break, he still finished sixth in Cy Young voting and was undoubtably the Giants’ ace at one point. We all go through rough patches, right?</li>
<li id="P1FuCN">
<a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/28/22806695/marcus-semien-signs-seven-year-deal-with-rangers-per-report"><strong>Marcus Semien has signed a seven-year deal with the Rangers</strong></a>. The star infielder put on quite the show last season, slashing .265/.334/.538 with 45 home runs. Now, the Rangers have locked him down until 2028 — the year he turns 38.</li>
<li id="gyoJaA">The <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/28/22806633/twins-sign-byron-buxton-to-seven-year-100-million-extension-per-report"><strong>Twins signed Byron Buxton to a massive seven year, $100 million extension,</strong></a>because ‘tis the season for astronomical contracts. The Twins are rolling the dice on their homegrown talent — while Buxton is a powerhouse of a player, he is beyond injury prone. If Minnesota can keep him healthy for more than 90 games a season, their risk will be well worth it.</li>
<li id="4byyNn">The Rays and Wander Franco both took major gambles, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/23/22798870/rays-wander-franco-extension"><strong>agreeing to an 11-year extension with a club option for a 12th year</strong></a> that will pay Franco a guaranteed $182 million. If all goes right for the Rays, they’ll control a generational superstar through his age-33 season. They’re betting big on a player who has played in just 70 major league games, though, while Franco is sacrificing the possibility of signing a deal that could be twice as big in exchange for more financial certainty now.</li>
<li id="aXLGvb">The Giants had themselves a busy day as they, at least partially, sought to get the band back together for next season. They were successful on a couple fronts as <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/22/22797564/giants-sign-anthony-desclafani-to-three-year-36-million-per-report"><strong>they inked starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani to a three-year deal </strong></a>and shortly after that, his fellow member of <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/22/22797586/giants-sign-alex-wood"><strong>the Giants’ 2021 rotation, Alex Wood, joined him on a two-year deal</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="i5i0n7">Despite all of the drama surrounding the tenure of manager Alex Cora with regards to the sign stealing scandal that impacted both his time with the <a href="https://www.crawfishboxes.com/"><strong>Astros</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.overthemonster.com/"><strong>Red Sox</strong></a>, Boston seems very keen on keep the manager on that won them a <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/world-series"><strong>World Series</strong></a> title AND helped them put together a surprising run this season deep into the playoffs as <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/22/22796393/red-sox-exercise-manager-alex-coras-options-for-2023-and-2024"><strong>they went ahead and exercised their options on his deal for 2023 and 2024</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="HMlotQ">Giants first baseman Brandon Belt <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/17/22788128/giants-brandon-belt-accepts-qualifying-offer"><strong>was the only player in the majors to accept the one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer from his previous club</strong></a>, and he’ll return to a San Francisco team that he helped propel to 107 wins in 2020.</li>
<li id="HFOnan">Justin Verlander rejected the qualifying offer, but he quickly re-upped with the <a href="https://www.crawfishboxes.com/"><strong>Astros</strong></a>, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/17/22788374/astros-re-sign-justin-verlander-per-report"><strong>agreeing to a one-year, $25 million deal with a $25 million player option for 2023</strong></a>. That’s an impressive commitment on the part of the Astros, who will bring back a future Hall of Famer but will gamble on an aging starter who has pitched in just one game over the past two seasons.</li>
<li id="h4z3SD">The <a href="https://www.amazinavenue.com/"><strong>Mets</strong></a> tendered the one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer to Noah Syndergaard, but instead of sticking with the club he’s spent his entire major league career with, the oft-injured starter opted to take on a new challenge and a slightly more lucrative deal, <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/16/22785235/angels-to-sign-noah-syndergaard-to-one-year-21-million-deal-per-report"><strong>signing a one-year, $21 million deal with the Angels</strong></a>. After making just two appearances over the last two years, Syndergaard is gambling that he can stay healthy in 2022 and help turn around a franchise that has struggled badly at evaluating free agent pitchers in recent seasons.</li>
<li id="G0Oags">The Blue Jays turned some heads when they gave up highly-regarded prospects Simeon Woods-Richardson and Austin Martin to acquire starter José Berríos at the trade deadline this year, but now they’re in it for the long haul with the former Twins starter <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/16/22785159/toronto-blue-jays-news-jose-berrios-seven-year-contract-extension"><strong>after signing him to a seven-year, $131 million extension</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="rrKjtz">The Mets have pretty famously struggled to find someone to take their general manager job. After getting turned down by a number of candidates, New York offered the position to <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/15/22784139/mets-billy-eppler-general-manager"><strong>former Angels GM Billy Eppler, and he accepted the job</strong></a>.</li>
<li id="3rnUC6">The <a href="https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2021/11/12/22778939/giants-gabe-kapler-contract-extension"><strong>Giants have extended Gabe Kapler’s contract through 2024</strong></a>. It makes sense for the Giants to keep the party going with Kapler; he’s taken a team that was seemingly short on talent in 2020 and transformed them into the most winning team in 2021 (107, to be exact).</li>
<li id="XiGQUe">Starting in the 2022 season, all 30 teams will now <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/32419545/major-league-baseball-require-teams-provide-housing-minor-league-players-starting-2022-sources-say"><strong>be required to provide housing to all minor league players, ESPN.com’s Jeff Passan</strong></a> reports. Last month team owners held a vote on the subject that passed unanimously. The intricacies are still being worked out on if teams will be giving players stipends for housing or if they will provide it directly. Considering the conditions that an overwhelming amount of minor leaguers have been subject to, this is a welcome improvement to the quality of their lives.</li>
