With two weeks to go before spring training, the Red Sox have signed a former Astros infielder. No, not that one.

The Red Sox have signed free-agent infielder Abraham Toro to a minor-league contract, as was first reported by Daniel Alvarez Montes of El Extra Base. The deal comes with an invitation to major-league spring training.

The only big move the Mariners have made is bringing in Donovan Solano on a one-year, $3.5 million deal. But Seattle has also signed or traded for a variety of experienced players

Months later, Bregman remains unsigned, and a resolution with his free agency does not appear any closer. Among the teams that have been linked to Bregman in reports include the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers. But the reality is that none of the teams listed are close to signing the All-Star infielder.

Jared Carrabis is starting to lose hope for the Boston Red Sox signing Alex Bregman. Once viewed as the favorites to land Bregman, the Red Sox reportedly now are on the outside looking in on the Bregman sweepstakes due to their unwillingness to offer the star infielder a long-term deal.

The Astros are eager to bring Alex Bregman back to Houston and have offered him a new contract. According to the renowned New York Post columnist Jon Heyman, the Texas team’s management is ready to strike a deal with the All-Star third baseman from the MLB for $156 million over six years.
