Should note - deal is still not considered close…by Ken Rosenthal via twitter 12/12/2018 9:15:15 PM

Before agreeing to a deal with Charlie Morton, the Tampa Bay Rays had just $10 .2M committed to their 2019 club: $8 .2M for Kevin Kiermaier and $2M to pay down Evan Longoria's deal. With an estimated $15M due arbitration-eligible players, Rays still at ~$40M . Lots left to spend.by Jeff Passan via twitter 12/12/2018 9:15:42 PM -
One free agent to keep an eye on: Nelson Cruz, who fits the Rays perfectly. With a lefty-heavy lineup (Kiermaier, Meadows, Wendle, Bauers) and need for power, Rays see Cruz fitting with a short-term, high-impact deal. Cruz's history of production is leading him to seek two years.by Jeff Passan via twitter 12/12/2018 9:19:30 PM

I have had heard the same trade discussions as @Ken_Rosenthal . 1 potential hurdle Homer Bailey has a 10-team no-trade list and #Dodgers were on the one filed for 2017. Players can change annually, but a person involved in talks mentioned the no-trade provision to me.by Joel Sherman via twitter 12/12/2018 9:25:37 PM

there's continuing talk of a deal of high contracts between reds and dodgers with yasiel puig, alex wood and homer bailey all being mentioned. @Feinsand and @Ken_Rosenthal are on top of itby Jon Heyman via twitter 12/12/2018 9:34:06 PM
-
Sorry the no-trade list is inconsequential with Bailey as @Ken_Rosenthal just tweeted because Bailey has full no-trade rights as a 10-and-5 player. So his permission would be needed if he were part of a trade with the #Dodgers from the #Redsby Joel Sherman via twitter 12/12/2018 9:35:28 PM

Boras suggesting owners he’s pitching Harper to want to build around him long-term. In other words, he isn’t selling a short-term deal.by Chelsea Janes via twitter retweeted by dougherty_jesse 12/12/2018 10:12:57 PM -

One option for #Athletics , if they lose 2B Jed Lowrie as a free agent, would be to reinforce their bullpen the way they did last season. Free agent Jeurys Familia is one likely target. OAK liked job he did after coming over from #Mets . A’s also will pursue inexpensive SPs later.by Ken Rosenthal via twitter 12/12/2018 10:42:22 PM

Rizzo said “nothing is imminent.” So there you go. Need some bench pieces, but wouldn’t go into specifics. Can never have enough starting pitching. The usual.by Chelsea Janes via twitter 12/12/2018 10:46:22 PM

Can confirm Kyler Murray’s contract with #Athletics includes a provision whereby he’d forgo/repay a very large portion of his signing bonus if he opts to play in the NFL. @MLB @MLBNetworkby Jon Morosi via twitter 12/12/2018 10:53:12 PM -
Mike Rizzo said today that Carter Kieboom’s development — and the potential that he could get a shot at 2B in the near future — would not specifically steer the Nationals away from any free agents at the position.by Jesse Dougherty via twitter 12/12/2018 10:58:38 PM -

Phillies could have interest in Mike Moustakas, if Maikel Franco is traded. Of course, Manny is another option.by Jon Heyman via twitter 12/12/2018 11:24:25 PM

I agree with this take from Joel. #Phillies have signaled repeatedly over the last 24 hours that they could still add another OF whether it's Harper or someone else.
I think that also signals packaging an OF like Williams or Altherr with other pieces for a starter.by Jayson Stark via twitter 12/12/2018 11:25:25 PM -

Not sure which was the bigger thrill this week -- the Spink Award or once again being the Million Dollar Man from Million Dollar Arm on the fabled @Buster_ESPN podcast.

#Padres seeking utility IFer who can play SS until Tatis is ready, then move around. Among possible options: Free agent Daniel Descalso, #DBacks ’ Nick Ahmed (favorite of SD manager Andy Green), #Rangers ’ Jurickson Profar (favorite of GM A.J.
