FOX Sports San Antonio Brett Gardner Youth Jersey recently reported that the club was in agreement with free-agent
reliever Boone Logan on an unspecified contract, pending a physical
exam. A baseball source told MLB.com that the sides were engaged, and
said the matter should be resolved after baseball operations resume
following the holiday break. The club has not confirmed the talks.
Logan, 33 and a Brian McCann Youth Jersey veteran of 12 Major League seasons, was limited to 38 games with the
Indians in 2017 because of a lat injury. But he averaged 56 appearances
in the 10 previous seasons, and he has held left-handed hitters to a
.234 average in his career.
Logan would be the Brewers' first notable addition to a bullpen anchored
by closer Corey Knebel. The club made a two-year offer to setup man
Anthony Swarzak Brian Roberts Youth Jersey, who was solid down the stretch on the way to free agency, but he signed
with the Mets for more money. Swarzak's departure followed that of
Jared Hughes and Carlos Torres, who combined to pitch 132 1/3 innings
last season, but were due raises in arbitration. Hughes has since signed
a two-year deal with the Reds.
Orioles still fielding calls on Machado
Despite a recent report from USA Today saying the Orioles are more
likely to keep Manny Machado instead of trading him a year ahead of his
free agency, Bryan Mitchell Youth Jersey Jon Paul Morosi shared on Thursday that the club is still receiving
trade calls from multiple clubs regarding the star third baseman, with
no firm deadline on negotiations.
At the Winter Meetings earlier this month, the Orioles had trade
discussions with at least five clubs, if not more, according to MLB
Network insider Ken Rosenthal, including the Yankees, Giants, Red Sox,
Cardinals and White Sox. However, it was believed that Baltimore wanted
to complete a potential trade sooner rather than later.
