Dear February,
Please have fewer rumors and more signings than November, December, and January. Thanks.
Regards,
Michael.
#Brewers now have signed LHP Boone Logan and RHP Matt Albers to major-league deals and JJ Hoover to minor-league deal but sounded open to another bullpen move. You can never have enough relievers in today's game.

Red Sox' chances of winning their arbitration case against Betts probably went out the window once fellow first-time arb-eligible Kris Bryant agreed to his one-year, $10.85M deal with the Cubs. Young stars are more valued than ever. Salary increases for them are a logical outcome

Eric Hosmer’s camp has continued pushing for a contract of more than 7 years, source says. [He is a young free agent at age 28.] The #Royals’ need to re-sign him (and capacity to pay him) increased with this week’s Brandon Moss trade. @MLBNetwork @MLB
