A new stadium for the White Sox?

It's discussed.

The Blue Jays are on a hitter's case

They have a good chance of adding one by the start of camp.

The Blue Jays continue to talk with free agent hitters. There's a good chance they'll add one before camp opens in Dunedin next month.

I'm told they maintain a slight preference for a LH bat, but they're more focused on overall offensive value than handedness.@MLBNetwork @MLB

Miguel Rojas with the Yankees

He signed a minors contract.

The Yankees have signed infielder Jose Rojas to a minor league contract with a spring training invitee as @jonmorosi 1st reported. Hear he will receive $750,000 if in the majors, $180,000 in the minors.

Scott Kingery returns to Philly

We are talking about a minors contract.

The Phillies are bringing back Scott Kingery

He signed a 6-year, $24M extension before he made his MLB debut. Played only 325 games over 5 seasons before the team declined its option for 2024. https://t.co/DOLWJ236zl

Will Ricky Tiedemann make an impact in Toronto in 2024?

It's possible, yes.

I didn't mention LHP Ricky Tiedemann in this segment, but he could factor into the Jays' MLB rotation this season.

Tiedemann was limited to 62 innings in 2023, including the Arizona Fall League, so his workload will be closely monitored this year.@MLBPipeline https://t.co/9tmnyxqMNs

Don't expect to see him start the season on top, though.

Ready is very likely post-June 1.
How many inners? That's the question.
First time I've never predicted bullpen time in August/September for a top prospect arm, then full rotation spot, 120-130 IP in 2025. https://t.co/V1rQhcRUoP

A question of timing

When the Giants visit, the Dodgers will give away Mickey Mouse ears.
