Hello, friends.
The market is open. Free agents are out there to be signed. A couple of not particularly earth-shattering deals came together just yesterday while general managers and some agents have the first of the offseason’s sets of meetings. The Angels agreed with veteran Kyle Hendricks on a $2.5 million contract, while the Guardians re-signed their incumbent free agent catcher, Austin Hedges, at $4 million.
You could have maybe considered Hedges as a backup catcher possibility for next year. He can’t hit but he’s good at the actual catching stuff. A fairly quick reunion with his current team suggests that he was probably always going to end up staying there.
