According to @Feinsand, the Mets can’t be counted out on Kyle Tucker given their need and willingness to spend, and they’ve also been linked to Cody Bellinger as they explore outfield upgrades

On the pitching side, the Mets remain involved in the Framber Valdez market, though… pic.twitter.com/dOGhN5GCnC

As @WillSammon notes here, the #BlueJays are among the teams interested in Kazuma Okamoto, who will likely sign sign in the next 24 hours.

The 6x NPB All Star could contribute for the Jays while moving around 3B/1B/OF:https://t.co/s6xSoZ9kUA

Robert Murray also stating that besides Okamoto, there's nothing much happening on the free agent market as of right now and he doesn't expect anything else to happen in the coming days.

Nolan Arenado IS a SoCal guy. The #Angels are reportedly interested.

Would he man the hot corner at the Big A?

The Astros want to establish a footprint in the Japanese market, and signing Tatsuya Imai helps immensely, says @Chandler_Rome. pic.twitter.com/YMalVzBVo9
