Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN 10s The Angels have agreed to terms with infielder Kevin Maitan, who was made a free agent after MLB ruled the Braves violated rules in signing him.

Bob Nightengale @BNightengale Several #MLB GMs now believe that the Seattle #Mariners are the clear-cut front runners for Ohtani's services and the Mariners are cautiously optimistic

Jon Heyman @JonHeyman 11s pirates are out on ohtani. field remains west coast heavy, though there may be an exception or 2.

Craig Mish @CraigMish Source : Stanton trade expected to be finalized in the next 2-3 days.

Mike Berardino @MikeBerardino 2m Sources briefed on Ohtani cutdown tell me "heavy West Coast" flavor to final list. #Cubs a possible exception along with SEA, SF, SD and both LA clubs.

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal now Per source, #Athletics also out on Ohtani, so not every west-coast team is in mix.

Jon Heyman @JonHeyman now sources: the twins are out on the ohtani derby, too.

Pete Abraham @PeteAbe The Red Sox also are out on Ohtani. Dave Dombrowski said they were informed this afternoon.

Brendan Kuty @BrendanKutyNJ Ohtani has told #yankees they won’t sign with them, Cashman says

Jon Morosi @jonmorosi #STLCards meeting with Giancarlo Stanton's reps does not necessarily mean trade agreement is in place with #Marlins, but talks have reached serious stage -- as is also the case with #SFGiants. @MLB @MLBNetwork

Jon Morosi @jonmorosi now Sources: #STLCards officials have a meeting with Giancarlo Stanton today in Los Angeles. @MLB @MLBNetwork

Chicago White Sox @whitesox now The #WhiteSox have agreed to terms on a one-year, $1.05-million contract with right-handed pitcher Danny Farquhar, avoiding arbitration.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 12:18 PM) Due to the misspelling, my thread shouldve gone over this one. I bat a goddam 1000 dammit. If you ain't first you're last lol

Matthew Pouliot @matthewpouliot Castillo's pitch-framing numbers got a lot better last year, making him more attractive. Still kind of surprising as an in-between move for a White Sox team still rebuilding. Doubt it's just a one-year deal.

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 8s Source: Welington Castillo to #WhiteSox. EDIT: Can someone please adjust the thread title, I accidentally added an extra "L" in Welington.
