Carlos Correa has already expressed to the Minnesota Twins that he'd "love" to sign a long-term deal with the franchise.

Correa signed a three-year, $105.3 million deal with the Twins this offseason, but the shortstop can opt out at the end of this season and re-enter the free agent market.

“I told 'em, 'Hey guys, I know I have the opt-outs in the contract. But I really like it here,'" Correa said. "I love the people here. I love the way I'm treated here. ... I would love to have a long-term relationship here if that's what you guys would like."

Khris Davis wants to play in the Major Leagues this year and is looking to sign with a franchise, according to a report.

Davis is believed to be drawing some level of interest from a number of clubs.

After a strong run of power earlier in his career, the 34-year-old hit just .206/.272/.363 with three home runs in 102 plate appearances last season.

Michael Conforto will miss the entirety of the 2022 season after he underwent surgery on his right shoulder last week, according to a source.

The free agent outfielder should be ready for next year's Spring Training. He sustained the injury in January while training.

Conforto declined the one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer from the New York Mets in November.

Julio Teheran has signed with the Staten Island FerryHawks of the Atlantic League.

Teheran, 31, logged just five Major League innings for the Detroit Tigers in 2021, posting a 1.80 ERA and three strikeouts.

He debuted in 2011 at age 20 with the Atlanta Braves.

There was mutual interest between the Miami Marlins and Nick Castellanos this offseason.

The outfielder felt he'd end up signing with the Marlins, his hometown club, until Derek Jeter resigned as the team's CEO.

Castellanos ended up signing with the Philadelphia Phillies.

It has been rumored that Jeter expected ownership to spend more money this offseason. When he stepped down, Jeter cited a "vision for the future of the franchise" that no longer seemed to prevail within the organization. 

Castellanos told Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald that Jeter wanted to sign him.

Nathan Eovaldi has no plans to discuss a contract extension with the Boston Red Sox during the season.

It had been reported that Eovaldi might talk about a long-term deal with the Red Sox, but the right-hander now seems destined to reach free agency.

Eovaldi is coming off the best season of his Major League career, posting a 3.75 ERA and strong command over 182 innings.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have avoided arbitration with Bryan Reynolds by agreeing to a two-year deal.

Reynolds will earn $6.75 million in each of the next two seasons.

"I always hoped this would be the outcome and it was the outcome, so I'd say this was a win-win," Reynolds said. "I don't think anybody ever wants to go to a hearing. For me, personally, I love Pittsburgh. I love my teammates and everything like that. To knock it out quickly like we did and to land where we're at, I think it worked out really well."

The Boston Red Sox were unable to reach an agreement on contract extensions with Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers before the start of the season.

According to a report, the Red Sox were $100 million or more apart in talks with both players.

Boston reportedly offered Bogaerts around $90 million over four seasons.

The Pittsburgh Pirates don't have a recent history of success, but Ke'Bryan Hayes is thrilled to be a part of the franchise's future.

"To be a cornerstone player for the Pirates means a lot to me," the 25-year-old said Tuesday after a $70 million, eight-year contract was announced before Pittsburgh's home opener against the Chicago Cubs. "I feel like we have a lot of talent in the minor leagues and we're doing something special here."

Hayes, a son of former major leaguer Charlie Hayes, was a first-round pick in 2015.

His new contract calls for salaries of $10 million each in 2022 and 2023, $7 million apiece in 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027, and $8 million each in 2028 and 2029. The Pirates have a $12 million option for 2030 with a $6 million buyout.

Brian Cashman confirmed on Monday that the New York Yankees never made official offers to Carlos Correa and Freddie Freeman in free agency.

The Yankees, instead, opted for short-term deals to fill holes on the roster.

"We never made an official offer to Correa or Freeman, but we were in touch with their reps on what they were looking for," Cashman said on WFAN in New York.

The Yankees have a reported payroll of $262.1 million, a franchise record, but well south of the Los Angeles Dodgers ($292.9M) and Mets ($285.9M).
