The Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to a contract with Eduardo Escobar that is pending a physical, according to a report.

Escobar struggled with the Los Angeles Angels and New York Mets last season, hitting .226/.269/.344 with six homers in 309 plate appearances across 99 games.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. won a record $19.9 million in salary arbitration Wednesday when a three-person panel picked his request rather than the Toronto Blue Jays' $18.05 million offer.

Scott Buchheit, Walt De Treux and Jeanne Charles made the decision a day after listening to arguments. Players have a 6-2 lead in hearings this year with 10 cases pending.

Players swept five salary arbitration decisions against major league teams on Tuesday, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went to a hearing against Toronto that will set a record whether the star first baseman wins or loses.

Baltimore outfielder Austin Hays and pitcher Jacob Webb won their cases along with Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward, Houston utilityman Mauricio Dubon and New York Mets reliever Phil Bickford. The unusual sweep gave players a 5-2 advantage with 11 cases still pending.

Tony Kemp is drawing interest from a number of clubs as the offseason continues.

The Toronto Blue Jays, Pittsburgh Pirates, Cincinnati Reds, Boston Red Sox, and New York Yankees have all been linked to Kemp.

The 32-year-old hit .209/.303/.304 with five home runs and 15 stolen bases in 419 plate appearances for the Oakland Athletics this past season.

A number of clubs have inquired with the Toronto Blue Jays about Alek Manoah this offseason, according to a report.

The Blue Jays have told teams they have no plans to move the right-hander. He's believed to be penciled in as the team's No. 5 starter for the 2024 season.

Manoah had a rough 2023 season after finishing third in the American League Cy Young voting the year prior.
