Guardians a team to watch. Deep farm system (No. 8 in @keithlaw’s rankings), as well as some financial flexibility. Exploring high-end and mid-level bats (OF, 1B) as well as bullpen help, with preference for multi-year control. Among teams in mix for Athletics 1B Matt Olson.

Teams that are in the mix for the star shortstop: Astros, Cubs, Yankees, Blue Jays, and Angels. Correa listing his house in Houston is something of note, but the parties do have mutual interest in a return to the Astros.

SOURCE: Blue Jays agree to deal with Kevin Gausman. Deal is expected to be around 5 years 100 million AAV. Deal is pending Medicals. #BlueJays get one of the big fish on the market after losing out on Matz late last night.

I would like to also note another key part of Correa’s free agency decision. Carlos and George Springer’s close relationship is no secret, but during his time in Houston, Carlos was seen as a “mentor” to 2021 All-Star Teoscar Hernandez according to a source. Something to note.

The #BlueJays have had conversations with Freddie Freeman’s camp and conveyed serious interest as his free agent decision nears, sources confirm. Freeman is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada and played for Canada at the ‘17 WBC. @MLBNetwork @Sportsnet @FAN590

"I've heard maybe there's even a scenario where they try to find a way to get both guys, even though that would involve some other roster juggling." Shi, on Schwarber and Freeman
Please note he doesn't seem to have heard a significant Freeman update today.
