Wellington gets 2 years guaranteed totalling 15 mil plus a club option for a 3rd year at 8 mil.  First person who says "O's dodged a bullet"... just don't.

Snyder signed with Tampa:

 

Rays signed INF/OF Brandon Snyder to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Snyder had an .846 OPS with 23 home runs and 77 RBI in 121 games this past season with the Triple-A affiliate of the Nationals. The 31-year-old corner infielder and outfielder could find a semi-regular role in 2018 if the Rays shift into rebuilding mode.

Some more details on the contract.  It looks like the $2M base is not guaranteed.  He has to make the Opening Day roster.

- Brad Bergesen to be the pitching coach of Phillies’ Sally League affiliate.

- Luke Scott looking for a major league gig as a player, or may look for a hitting coach job (and our AAA hitting coach just left the organization).

- Tyler Wilson about to sign a MiL deal with an undisclosed team (apparently not the Orioles).

- Radhames Liz signed a MiL deal with the Brewers.

Can't believe Bergesen is only 32.

Hader still isn't getting a look as a starter.

I'd be down with them making him a 100 inning old school reliever.  I think it is a role they need to bring back.

Matt Albers getting two year from the Brewers:

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that free agent reliever Matt Albers has agreed to a two-year deal with the Brewers.

Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet says the two-year contract, which is pending a physical, will carry a $5 million guarantee. Albers posted an exceptional 1.62 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, and 63/17 K/BB ratio in 61 innings last season out of the Nationals' bullpen, bouncing back from a miserable 2016 with the White Sox. The 35-year-old right-hander will operate somewhere between middle relief and setup duty in Milwaukee.

We have a Junior Lake sighting:

Mariners signed OF Junior Lake to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

The former Cubs prospect spent the majority of the 2017 season in the Mexican League, slashing .288/.411/.510 in 186 plate appearances with Bravos de Leon. Lake is highly doubtful to make the Mariners' major league roster out of camp. He holds a .235/.278/.376 career batting line at baseball's highest level.
