Right-hander Neftali Feliz is hoping to show he’s healthy and throwing well in a bid to earn a bounceback opportunity, per a report from Chris Cotillo of SB Nation (Twitter link). The 29-year-old, who caught on with the Royals after being cut loose by the Brewers in the middle of the 2017 season, went in for a checkup from Dr. James Andrews but was reportedly cleared of any arm issues. He’s also set to hold an audition for an unnamed team today. Despite his rough results in his 46 innings in the most recent campaign — a 5.48 ERA with 7.2 K/9 and 4.5 BB/9 — Feliz showed a typically strong 96.5 mph fastball and 11.6% swinging-strike rate that matches his career average.

Any guesses when the first report comes down announcing which team Otani is signing with? Not the official announcement, but the first leaked report naming a specific team.

I think Friday(12-8) morning at 10:00 AM our time.

Mikolas to sign with Cardinals. That's too bad.

10:30am: FanRag’s Jon Heyman tweets that Mikolas will receive a guaranteed total of $15.5MM.


10:24am: Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic tweets that Mikolas has agreed to a two-year deal with the Cardinals that is worth a total of $14-16MM.

I'm fine with missing out
