Hyun Soo Kim won't be on the Opening Day roster for the Baltimore Orioles and the Korean outfielder is reportedly "resisting" a Minor League assignment.

A return to South Korea is not in play right now, according to Dan Duquette.

The Boston Red Sox will start Travis Shaw at third base on Opening Day, a decision that sends Pablo Sandoval to the bench.

Shaw is a former ninth-round draft pick. Sandoval was signed to a $95 million contract before the 2015 season.

"For right now to start the season, I feel this is the best for our team to go with this alignment," John Farrell said. "My focus is on the guys that are in uniform, not what's attached to them or what their contract states."

The Los Angeles Angels are finalizing a contract agreement with Kyle Kendrick, according to multiple reports.

Kendrick, 31, signed a minor league contract with the Atlanta Braves and was invited to spring training but was released on March 12.

The San Diego Padres reportedly sent a scout to watch Pablo Sandoval, but A.J. Preller has downplayed the possibility of a trade with the Boston Red Sox.

"Our pro scouts work really hard to look at all 30 clubs. ... That's the nature of what goes on," Preller told the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Sandoval is in a surprise competition with Travis Shaw for the third base job in Boston.

The Texas Rangers have acquired Bobby Wilson and Myles Jaye from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for Bryan Holaday.

Holaday, a 28-year-old Dallas native who played college ball at TCU, heads home after weeks of speculation about his future in Detroit. He has had a great spring, but found himself third on the depth chart behind James McCann and Jarrod Saltalamacchia.

The Texas Rangers have released Drew Stubbs.

Stubbs exercised the opt-out provision in his contract after it became apparent that he wouldn't be added to the 40-man roster.

Stubbs, 31, hit .195/.283/.382 in 140 plates appearances split between the Rangers and Colorado Rockies last season.

The San Diego Padres have acquired Dan Straily from the Houston Astros in exchange for Erik Kratz.

Houston had been searching for another catcher after losing presumed reserve Max Stassi to injury.

Straily, 27, is out of options and did not appear in line for a rotation job with the Astros.

The Detriot Tigers have parted ways with Bobby Parnell and Casey McGehee via unconditional release.

Brad Ausmus left the door open for either Parnell or McGehee to return in the future.

"Yeah, yeah," Ausmus told reporters. "There's a chance."

Detroit also demoted Bruce Rondon to Triple-A.

The young flamethrower, who was sent home by the Tigers last September for work-ethic issues, came into camp with arguably the most to prove of any player.

The San Diego Padres have a scout in Fort Myers taking a look at Pablo Sandoval.

San Diego was one of the teams that offered Sandoval a contract in 2014 before he signed a deal with the Boston Red Sox. The Padres' offer was believed to greater than what he received from the Red Sox.

The Padres have had problems filling their third base void under A.J. Preller.

The Toronto Blue Jays are finalizing their roster as Opening Day approaches.

They have named Aaron Sanchez their fifth starter. He was locked in a battle with Gavin Floyd and Drew Hutchison for Toronto's final spot.

The Blue Jays also claimed Jesus Montero off waivers from the Seattle Mariners.
