The Rangers have signed LHP Mike Minor to a 3 year $28 million dollar contract. They are reportedly considering giving him a chance to start. He was excellent for KC out of the pen last season with a 2.55 ERA and 88K's in 77.2 IP.
Indians sign RP Dan Otero to a 2 year $2.5 million dollar contract.
Phillies sign former Braves prospect C Abrahan Gutierrez.
Angels sign SS prospect Luis Soto along with Kevin Maitan.
Cards sign SP Miles Mikolas to a 2 year $15.5 million dollar deal. Mikolas pitched in Japan the past 3 years and the Cards obviously are high on him.
I think teams have been waiting to see how the Ohtani and Stanton situations play out first...

That, and the real action is next year with that free agent class. I expect it to be quiet this year, particularly because the Yankees will lay in the weeds waiting to go after Machado.
It is unbelievable. It is so different than the NFL free agency when nearly every big name FA signs immediately.

There will be several teams going after Machado. I know Atlanta will have money to burn and I expect them to be a frontrunner for Machado depending on Austin Riley.
Play that through and I imagine teams over the next 2 years will have to reduce pricing on premium seating. Combined with cord cutting, if I'm an owner, i'm not exactly forecasting revenue growth in my budgeting.

Moreland 33/42 fWAR at 1b... guys worse -Ryan Howard, Chris Johnson, James Loney, Adam LaRoche, Pedro Alvarez, CJ Cron, Mark Reynolds, Chris Carter and Mark Teixeira (yeah mostly retired...)
wRC+ 39/42... worse Chris Johnson, Ryan Howard, James Loney
wOBA 36/42... worse Chris Johnson, Ryan Howard, Loney, Brandon Moss, Pujols, LaRoche
Really truly beyond perplexed how someone could not "hate it". He's awful.
Yanks should swoop in and offer the 3mm international money for a nice package of young talent. It looks like the M's are all in for Ohtani.
Dodgers
Yankees
Cubs
Astros
I'd die.
Teams can't even stop Judge and Sanchez (as we saw this year). Adding Stanton wouldn't even be fair.

Matt Adams would be a very good safety net for the Mets at 1B.
