The A’s have made a long-term extension offer to AL ROY Nick Kurtz, according to 2 sources. I received no word on the likelihood of getting it to the finish line. The A’s over the last year have done pre-arbitration extensions already with Butler, Soderstrom, Wilson.
NY’s interest was rooted in the bat, not the glove. The club maintains confidence that Anthony Volpe is its long-term answer at shortstop, with DeJong, Caballero and Oswaldo providing depth if needed. At one point, it was believed the Yanks planned to land both him and Bellinger
The Yankees’ interest in Bo Bichette went beyond exploratory. League officials believed he’d land in the Bronx. NY wanted lineup balance from the right side, and Bichette, a perennial .300 hitter with power, fit offensively. They still view Anthony Volpe as their long-term SS.
Yankees will get Ryan McMahon reps at shortstop this spring to see if he can be a backup option, per @GJoyce9
McMahon has only played three innings at shortstop throughout his nine-year career, all in 2020
#Rays high-leverage RH reliever Edwin Uceta tested his "cranky" shoulder today and "didn't feel great" the longer he played catch, Cash said. Uceta is headed to see a doctor.
