Now that Yasmany Tomas has signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks, the market for Nelson Cruz could begin to take shape very soon.

Cruz now sits atop a thin list of free-agent power hitters with Tomas, Pablo Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez off the market.

Cruz led the Major Leagues with 40 home runs after signing a one-year, $8 million deal with the Baltimore Orioles prior to the 2014 season.

Frank Coonelly, the president for the Pittsburgh Pirates, says the club is likely to increase their payroll heading into the 2015 season.

The Pirates "certainly can and I suspect will" top $90 million in payroll for 2015, according to the executive.

Pittsburgh's 40-man payroll for 2014 was around $82 million.

Andrew Miller, who dominated down the stretch for the Baltimore Orioles, is negotiating seriously with eight to 10 teams.

The Orioles aren't one of those teams, according to a source.

Miller is expected to receive a four-year deal and the Orioles have seemed content to let him walk since free agency began.

The San Francisco Giants were the runners-up for Yasmany Tomas, who agreed to a deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

A source told Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports that the World Series winners just missed out on landing Tomas.

The New York Yankees are willing to offer Chase Headley a three-year deal in order to re-sign the third baseman.

However, with the market at the position thinning, Headley is believed to be looking around for a better offer.

The San Francisco Giants have contacted Headley in the wake of Pablo Sandoval's departure.

Brandon Moss is working his way back from hip surgery and has kept close tabs on what the Oakland Athletics have done so far this offseason.

The Athletics acquired Ike Davis in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates this week, giving them a surplus of first at first base.

"The whole world noticed," Moss said. "You never know; the front office likes to mix up. I'm trying not to let anything surprise me, because I don't want to be blindsided. Obviously, I love playing in Oakland, but when this happened, I knew it could mean someone else gets moved."

The D-Backs and Cuban slugger Yasmany Tomas have agreed to a six-year contract worth $68.5M, according to a report by MLB.com.

The report, which cites industry sources, states that the deal is believed to include an opt-out clause after four years.

Tomas, who reportedly turned 24 earlier this month, is a corner outfielder who has spent parts of the past seven years playing for the Havana Industriales. He batted .375 for Cuba with two homers and five RBIs in last year's World Baseball Classic.

The Cleveland Indians inquired about Chase Headley, but they won't sign the third baseman.

Headley will be too expensive for the Indians and they have Lonnie Chisenhall at the position.

Cleveland isn't expected to be a player in the free agent market.

The Tampa Bay Rays have signed Ernesto Frieri to a one-year, $800,000 contract.

Frieri, 29, was 1-4 with a 7.34 ERA and 48 strikeouts in 41 2-3 innings over 48 games this year for the Los Angeles Angels and Pittsburgh.

He can earn $1.1 million in performance bonuses for games: $50,000 for 30, $100,000 for 35, $150,000 each for 40 and 45, $200,000 apiece for 50 and 55 and $250,000 for 60.

Frieri also can make $1.25 million based on games finished: $150,000 for 30, $200,000 for 35, $250,000 for 40, $300,000 for 45 and $350,000 for 50.

The San Francisco Giants have increased the range of their targets after Pablo Sandoval left for the Boston Red Sox earlier this week.

San Francisco is looking at targets both small and large, including free-agent pitchers Jon Lester and Max Scherzer.
