    Chris Cotillo @ChrisCotillo If you've ever thought spring training games are too long, you're in for a treat. * Games between 2/27-3/13 can be played as 5- or 7-inning games, as long as the managers agree. * Games on or after 3/14 will be scheduled as 9 innings but managers can agree to shorten to 7.

    Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal MLB making changes to the baseball, deadening it - but by how much? With @EnoSarris: https://t.co/z1tV98R40V?amp=1

    Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal MLB in process of finalizing revised Grapefruit League schedule, placing teams in separate “pods” on east and west coasts of Florida, sources tell me and @MattGelb. West-coast teams in FL will play 28 games and east-coast teams 24, making up rest with intrasquad-type matchups.

    Shi Davidi @ShiDavidi #BlueJays have shown interest in versatile switch hitter Marwin Gonzalez, per source. They’ve liked him in the past and he’s the type of universal adapter defender they often seek. Unclear if it’s just due diligence or more, amid club’s ongoing pursuit of pitching.

    Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal Free-agent right-hander Mike Fiers in agreement with A’s on a one-year, $3.5M contract, sources tell me and @AlexCoffey.

    Jon Heyman @JonHeyman Mets offer to Trevor Bauer was $105M over 3. 40M, 35M, and 30M. Opt outs after each of the 1st 2 years. Plus another 5M if opt out came after 2nd year — so 80M if he’d stayed for 2. Very comparable deal. Obvs he loves LA.

    Bob Nightengale @BNightengale Jake Odorizzi is now the top free-agent pitcher on the market. He was recently seeking a three-year deal for about $45 million, according to suitors.

    Jeff Passan @JeffPassan I think Trevor Bauer getting paid as much as some teams' entire payrolls this season says a lot more about those teams than it does Bauer or the Dodgers.

    Mark Feinsand @Feinsand Despite getting $40 million in 2021 and $45 million in 2022, Bauer's CBT figure for the Dodgers will be $34 million per year, which is the AAV for the three-year contract.

    Jeff Passan @JeffPassan The Dodgers are blasting through the luxury-tax threshold with Trevor Bauer's deal. Before: ~$205M, about $5M under threshold. After: ~$240M, about $30M over threshold. And they still have been in talks to re-sign Justin Turner. Either way they'll have highest payroll by far.

    Kyle Glaser @KyleAGlaser Trevor Bauer's reported salary in 2021 ($40 million, per @Feinsand) is larger than the current 2021 payrolls of the Indians, Pirates and Orioles, according to Spotrac. (h/t @jnorris427).

    Mark Feinsand @Feinsand Trevor Bauer gets $102M for 3 years from Dodgers, per source. He has opt outs after each of the first two years; $40M in 2021, $45M in 2022. He'll be the highest-paid player in MLB history in '21, then again in '22. Good job by @AgentRachelLuba & Jon Fetterolf of @zssports_law.

    Jon Heyman @JonHeyman Word going around is, Bauer wants to make the announcement. A la an impromptu LeBron. #TheDecision
  22. jerb
    Joel Sherman @Joelsherman1 Heard #Mets set a noon deadline Eastern with Bauer today. Heard the deal has opt outs after 1st 2 yrs. Worth about $40M in year 1 and then again in year 2. Worth less in year 3. Total is between $100M-$110M. Feels like decision is next few hours, 1 way or the other.

    Jon Heyman @JonHeyman Before the Mets got serious in this endeavor they consulted with Francisco Lindor, who knows Bauer well from the Indians years, and Lindor said the magic words they needed to hear: “Good teammate”
  25. jerb
    Jon Heyman @JonHeyman Mets’ offer is 3 years, believed to be close to $100M. Ed Coleman of @WFAN660 reported 3 years, about $90M. Offer is even a bit higher. Opt-out likely after 1, as Ed said.
