Here is Mike Trout hitting off a tee. I hope he got a participation ribbon. Shohei Ohtani is ramping up for the WBC as well.
Matt Andriese is back from Japan and he got a minor league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Braves signed Yolmer Sanchez to a minor league deal and he’s apparently a non-roster invitee to their spring training camp. The Mariners re-signed Taylor Williams to a minor league contract while Nate Mondou got his minor league deal with the White Sox. The Mariners and Kyle Tyler came to an agreement on a minor league contract while the Reds signed up Jason Vosler, also to a minor league deal.
Chad Green got a major league deal with the Blue Jays for two years at $8.5 Million. Diego Castillo lost his arbitration case with the Mariners. Oops! It looks like Chad Pinder is going to the Cincinnati Reds.

Khalil Lee of the Mets is now under investigation for domestic assault, specifically “criminal obstruction of breath.”
