Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported Tuesday afternoon that the Minnesota Twins are in agreement with infielder Donovan Solano on a Major League contract. Solano, 35, spent last season with the Cincinnati Reds and has hit .301/.350/.421 over the last four seasons while playing mostly first, second, and third base. The move is curious considering the Twins already have Kyle Farmer on the roster, a very similar player but one who can adequately play shortstop. What does the Solano signing mean for the rest of the roster? Is Trevor Larnach going to make the Opening Day group? Let's break it all down from every angle! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): One year ago, baseball was supposed to be on its deathbed. The sport was in the heart of a lockout, with sports fans ready to turn their back on the great game. But here were are, with spring training not only ready to kick off with as much enthusiasm as ever, but also with MLB feeling like the last 365 days may have allowed for its biggest step forward perception-wise in years. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic and Fox Sports joins Bradfo to reflect on how baseball pushed aside that uncomfortable narrative from last February to finally start showing the personality and foresight it had been lacking for years.

In his new book 'Winning Fixes Everything,' author Evan Drellich details the corporate culture that led to the Houston Astros sign-stealing quagmire and probes how many of the leading executives got their start in baseball with the Cardinals. Drellich joins St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold to discuss new insight into the hacking scandal that will forever bind the Astros and Cardinals, the baseball operations approach that former Cardinals exec Jeff Luhnow created in Houston, and how organizational arrogance may have led to negligence. Drellich, a senior writer at The Athletic who along with Ken Rosenthal broke the story on Houston's trashcan caper during the 2017 season, explores the reporting on that story and the fallout from it, including how baseball clubs are reluctant to talk about their "trade secrets" and why that's bad for the game, bad for storytelling, and yet ignored because without the sign-stealing the Astros' winning would have lacquered over everything. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.

Then we discuss Ken Rosenthal's latest in The Athletic that lists 5 reasons why he's optimistic that a Manny Machado contract extension could be done before Opening Day! And at the bottom of the hour, we react to ESPN's starting rotation rankings and the projections they had that put the Padres at #14 in baseball. Listen here!

HOUR 4 - Seth and Sean break down the 5 reasons to hate Indianapolis and the Colts, react to Ken Rosenthal's not voting Carlos Beltran on his Hall of Fame ballot due to the Astros scandal, discuss Damar Hamlin recovering enough to join a call with the Bills meeting, and see what Landry and Lopez have coming up.
Johnny Cueto listed th Cincinnati Reds as one of the final three teams he may sign with, per Ken Rosenthal. Jeff and Steve look at why he would be an awesome fit but why it would be surprising if he does choose the Reds. The bullpen looks like a big question mark but does have upside. Alexis Diaz is the obvious choice for the one we have the most confident in coming out of the Reds bullpen, but who else follows him? Is Luis Cessa or Buck Farmer the reliever we have the second-most confidence in? Where do the injured relief pitchers fall? Also, how worried should we be about Tucker Barnhart signing with the Chicago Cubs? Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…
With recent reporting by Ken Rosenthal, it feels like a Carlos Correa deal with the Mets is imminent. Host Ryan Finkelstein takes the time to remind everyone why Correa is worth the wait on getting this deal done and how he can instantly become a top-five third baseman in baseball. The Boston Red Sox just signed their own third baseman, Rafael Devers to a 11-year, $331 million deal. Ryan compares Devers to Correa and explains why this makes his contract look even better. Also, if the Mets have to trade an infielder once Correa is finalized, who should go, Eduardo Escobar or Luis Guillorme? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Hour 1: There is not much of an update on the Damar Hamlin situation. The NFL is keeping the week 18 schedule as is right now. They also announced that they will not be finishing the Bills/Bengals game this week. Jerry has audio from Damar Hamlin's uncle who provides an update on the situation. We also heard from players who talked about putting their careers and lives on the line every day. David Tepper talked to Jim Harbaugh to see if there is interest in the Panthers job. We have great audio from Chris Simms vs the Sportscenter instagram account. Giannis scored 55 for the Bucks last night. The Rangers scored 3 times in the final period to beat the Hurricanes and Islanders won in Vancouver. In the final segment of the hour, Carlos Correa put out an Instagram pic of him and his son wearing baseball eye black and getting to work. We also talked about Jim Harbaugh as an NFL Head Coach. Hour 2: Gio is already predicting the Giants/Vikings on Wild Card weekend with the Giants winning and breaking his Vikings' heart. The Eagles are 14 point favorites over the Giants since the Giants will most likely be resting players. Mikey Nichols calls in to talk about the Damar Hamlin injury. We talked about Nate Burleson wearing Louboutin sneakers. Gio said he once donated his wife's shoe collection by mistake when they were moving. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Damar Hamlin's Uncle appearing on CNN to talk about his nephew's progress. Aaron Rodger's talked about the dangers of football on the Pat McAfee Show. Ken Rosenthal expects the Mets deal with Carlos Correa to be dramatically different than was first expected. Jerry went around the NBA last night. Dana White talked to TMZ about a video that surfaced of him and his wife slapping each other in a bar. The Rangers beat the Hurricanes with 3 goals in the third. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer tells us of a traffic adventure he had Monday. Does Waze sometimes not send you the fastest route because it doesn't want everyone going the same way? A caller wants crumple zones on helmets. Another caller wants magnets that repel each other in helmets to soften the blow. Hour 3: Gio wants Zach Wilson to start this week with the message of play loose and let it rip. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Julian Love talking about the Damar Hamlin injury. Jerry Jones was asked about resting players and he doesn't like that idea. Giannis had a huge night for the Bucks, scoring 55 points. We also get confused by the saying ‘don't duck smoke'. The Sacramento Kings announcer has been calling their games for 37 years now. In the final segment of the hour, a caller wants to know how much an offensive coordinator affects a QB. Hour 4: There is a crazy video of Klay Thompson and Draymond Green passing him the ball even though you can't see it. A caller says Zach Wilson is a douche for sleeping with his mom's friend. Another caller says Bill Belichick is the one who ruined Zach Wilson and Sam Darnold. Jerry returns for his final update of the day but first Gio tells us he's doing dry January. Jerry also had Neil DeGrasse Tyson on when Boomer & Gio were off and Eddie wrote in with a very confusing question. The Jazz thought they won the game and the announcer went crazy. But, they didn't. Chris Simms has some tough talk for the Sportscenter Instagram account. In the final segment of the show, Gio said the Giants fans are all over him in the newsroom. Dov was one of them and he also has bad breath today. If you could ask Zach Wilson one question today, what would it be? Boomer said he wants to watch film with him. Eddie plays a hilarious drop which is worth listening to.

The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported last week that the Baltimore Orioles were receiving trade interest from other teams about Jorge Mateo. Host Connor Newcomb tries to answer the big question — should the Orioles trade Mateo this offseason? Connor lays out the arguments for both sides of the equation, citing Mateo's defensive value, his up-and-down offensive performance, his underlying batted-ball data, and why a trade for prospects and a trade that gets a starting pitcher to Baltimore are two very different things.

HOUR 4: Keith reacts in real time to the report out by Ken Rosenthal & The Athletic that the Mets are targeting Carlos Correa to play 3rd base in Flushing for the team.
The Cincinnati Reds are one of the lowest payroll teams in the game now and the question is, could the Castellini's sell the team? Ken Rosenthal brought up that the Reds are one of three teams that need a change in leadership to compete with the big payrolls of the sport. Steve Cohen for the New York Mets has changed the game and the market has never been busier in the MLB offseason. What would lead the Castellini's to sell the Reds and is the timeline shorter than we think? Also, will the Reds trade for an outfielder? Jeff and Steve discuss why Edwin Arroyo looks like the most likely to be dealt and who the Reds could get for him. *SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonreds Also follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on Twitter JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCt Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

This is the next step for Krall to turn the Reds into a winning organization.

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
In a strange way, Xander Bogaerts' $280 million deal with the Padres could benefit the San Francisco Giants. The Padres got better by signing Bogaerts, but there was belief yesterday that the Boston Red Sox were gaining momentum in an attempt to re-sign him. Had Bogaerts returned to Boston, or gone anywhere other than San Diego, the Padres may have emerged as the favorites for Carlos Correa. Correa, as has been reported by multiple outlets, is the top target of the San Francisco Giants after missing out on Aaron Judge. The Giants were reportedly offered Judge a hefty $40 million per year over nine years, so they would have no problem offering Correa around $30 million per year over a similar number of years (likely a couple more than Judge received). Some may fear that Correa will shop the Giants' likely aggressive offer, and he will choose to go elsewhere if that team matches, as was the case with Judge. But a closer examination of Correa's market suggests that there may not be a team more willing and able to aggressively bid on Correa than the SF Giants. The Giants' biggest threats appear to be the Twins and Cubs, with the Red Sox also a possibility. Ken Rosenthal reported yesterday that the Dodgers are not pursuing Correa because of the belief that their fans would not accept him after his involvement in the 2017 sign stealing scandal that effectively cheated the Dodgers out of a World Series title. Farhan Zaidi suggested that the best way for the Giants to improve would be to upgrade the defense, and pointed out that in an ideal world they'll bring in a good defensive center fielder. Brandon Nimmo and Kevin Kiermaier are the top options in free agency, with Nimmo being a much better hitter. Kiermaier is known for elite speed and defense to go along with an average bat, but there have been durability concerns. In addition to an outfielder and middle infielder, the Giants are known to be seeking a starting pitcher and bullpen help, and could look to upgrade the catcher position at some point as well.

Locked On Dodgers – Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Dodgers
Ken Rosenthal reported the Dodgers won't be going after Carlos Correa partly because of the fan reaction and partly because of the big money. The report added the Dodgers appear to be waiting for the Trevor Bauer suspension appeal decision because of the monetary implications it holds. That may keep the Dodgers from spending big this offseason. The Padres added Xander Bogaerts on an 11-year deal and San Diego is now a legitimate threat in the NL West even moreso than before. Lastly, Aaron Judge won't be coming to the NL West as he went back to the Yankees and appeared to use the Giants for that leverage.

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
Kolten Wong to the San Francisco Giants? According to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, the SF Giants are among the teams interested in trading for Kolten Wong, the left-handed-hitting second baseman under contract with the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers are likely to trade Wong, who's owed $10M in the final year of his contract, this offseason. Wong is historically someone who's hit right-handed pitching pretty well, and he has historically been one of the game's best defensive second basemen. Interestingly, Kolten Wong took a major step back defensively in 2022 according to most advanced defensive metrics, but it's generally best to look in three-season samples when dealing with such metrics. Given that he's only signed for one more year and is owed $10M, the cost to acquire Wong seemingly wouldn't be too high. A viral tweet by MLB Network is discussed. In the tweet, MLB Network put out a San Francisco Giants projected lineup that included Aaron Judge. Social media went to work dunking on the SF Giants for an extremely weak looking lineup. On the one hand, it certainly doesn't inspire a ton of confidence, even with Judge. On the other hand, that lineup is essentially the same one that was above average at scoring runs in 2022. Every single member of the projected lineup, except for the No. 9 hitter Joey Bart, has been above average by wRC+ over the last three seasons. The Giants certainly shouldn't roll into 2023 with a lineup like that if they were to sign Judge, but it's also not nearly as listless as some are making it out to be. Switching gears, how should the progress of some young players on the SF Giants' roster be evaluated? Thairo Estrada, Joey Bart, and David Villar are given a closer look. Estrada had a legitimately strong season that flew somewhat under the radar. He amassed 14 home runs and 21 steals, and overall was the Giants' best position player by fWAR. Joey Bart struggled with strikeouts as expected in 2022. He was pretty bad to start the year, got better, and then regressed to a rolling K% back near 50% over the final month-plus of the season. David Villar is definitely someone to watch moving forward. The power is legit, he won the PCL MVP Award, and he could be a breakout candidate for the Giants in 2023, or he could potentially be trade bait this offseason if the Giants want to make a big splash.

The Dodgers are reportedly interested in Brewers' second baseman Kolten Wong, although Ken Rosenthal was a bit mistaken in thinking Gavin Lux would move to third base if that deal occurred. However, Lux could be the Dodgers' starting shortstop next season if they don't sign one of the top four free agents, according to Dave Roberts on the Starkville podcast. Lastly, Roberts also mentioned that Miguel Vargas would be getting significant playing time next season.

With the Milwaukee Brewers seemingly going into sell mode, their ace Corbin Burnes may be available via trade, and The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal wrote on Monday that the Baltimore Orioles may pursue him. Host Connor Newcomb breaks down what the Orioles would need to give up to get Burnes, and chats about the other three pitchers Rosenthal connected to the Orioles via trade — Pablo López, Tarik Skubal, and Zach Plesac — and whether or not Baltimore should go after them.

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
The San Francisco Giants are reportedly interested in free agents Mitch Haniger and Kenley Jansen. Haniger is a good hitter who's from the area, but has dealt with injuries (sometimes fluky ones, like when he ruptured a testicle on a foul ball) and has been an inconsistent defender. It's hard to envision a scenario in which the Giants want to add both Aaron Judge and Haniger, because they're both corner outfielders. Judge can play center, but it's beleived that the SF Giants want truly elite defense up the middle, so players like Kevin Kiermaier, Cody Bellinger, and even Brandon Nimmo might make the most sense in that regard. Kenley Jansen is one of the best relievers in baseball history. He's now 35 years old, but he had another really good season for the 101-win Braves in 2022, notching 41 saves with a 3.38 ERA. It's unclear whether Jansen would take the closer's role from the young flamethrower Camilo Doval, or if he would accept a role as a non-closer. Regardless, it's not hard to see why the Giants would be interested in a major bullpen upgrade, especially one who could likely be signed to a one- or two-year deal. The Giants' clear preference in free agency is to sign their impact talent on short-term deals, and Jansen would certainly fit the mold (although they haven't really spent big on relievers, so in some ways it would deviate from the SF Giants' tendencies). Cody Bellinger was non-tendered by the Dodgers on Friday, making him a free agent. It has been reported that the San Francisco Giants make a lot of sense for Bellinger. But in reality, Bellinger might make a lot of sense for the Giants, but not necessarily the other way around. Bellinger's agent, Scott Boras, recently told The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal that they likely prefer a one-year deal for Bellinger. And why would Bellinger want to come to Oracle Park, of all places, in hopes of rebuilding offensive value? Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:
