MLB rumors: Twins could be outbid on Dansby Swanson; Mets looking at trades for James McCann, Carlos Carrasco
Most of the big-name free agents are off the board, but there’s still plenty of calendar left in the 2022-23 MLB offseason. As such, there are also still plenty of rumors left in the 2022-23 MLB offseason. Speaking of which, you can find Friday’s crop of rumors just below.
Mets talking Carrasco, McCann trades
The Mets are discussing right-handed starter Carlos Carrasco and catcher James McCann in trade talks with other teams, according to SNY’s Andy Martino.
Carrasco figures to be the more attractive of the two players. He’s coming off a solid season that saw him post a 97 ERA+ across 29 starts. He’s owed $14 million this season, a reasonable wage for a league-average starter (or thereabout) in today’s marketplace.
McCann is likely to prove to be a harder sell. Not only is he scheduled to make more than $12 million in each of the next two seasons, but his performance has cratered since joining the Mets prior to the 2021 campaign. Indeed, he’s hit for a 70 OPS+.
The Mets have been active on both the starting pitcher and catcher fronts this winter. They’ve added Justin Verlander, Kodai Senga, and José Quintana to their rotation (albeit while losing Jacob deGrom, Taijuan Walker, and Chris Bassitt) and on Thursday they signed veteran backstop Omar Narváez. The Mets have two other catchers in house, in Tomas Nido and Francisco Alvarez, suggesting that a culling is in order.
It’s not clear which teams the Mets are engaged with on either Carrasco or McCann.
The White Sox made a splash on Friday afternoon, signing outfielder Andrew Benintendi to a five-year pact worth $75 million that becomes the richest free-agent contract in franchise history. Benintendi, ranked as the 18th best free agent by CBS Sports earlier this winter, is likely to become their everyday left fielder. Here’s more on that signing.
Twins sign Gallo; target Swanson, Turner
The Twins recently failed to re-up with shortstop Carlos Correa, who inked a $350 million pact with the Giants. Now Minnesota is pondering what their post-Correa lineup should look like. They began to assemble it on Friday afternoon, inking former All-Star outfielder Joey Gallo to a one-year deal worth $11 million. Where else might the Twins turn?
The Athletic has the specifics. According to Dan Hayes, shortstop Dansby Swanson remains a strong consideration, but he’s likely coveted by a couple of teams — the Cubs and incumbent Braves, to wit — that are positioned to outbid the Twins should it come to that. Other, perhaps more realistic targets for Minnesota include third baseman Justin Turner and outfielder A.J. Pollock. (It’s unclear if the Twins will continue to pursue Pollock after inking Gallo.)
Gallo’s power remains unassailable, but his contact struggles severely limit how valuable he can be. As for Turner, he’s had a strong career, both offensively and defensively. However, he’s 38, and he’s shown significant signs of decline over the last two seasons. He should remain a useful player in 2023, but he’s not the kind of true needle-mover the Twins need.
O’s interested in Hill
Earlier this week, it was reported that the Orioles were pursuing free-agent righty Michael Wacha. He’s not the only former Red Sox pitcher the O’s covet. Mike Elias is also talking to left-hander Rich Hill, according to Rob Bradford.
Hill, 42, posted a 98 ERA+ in 26 starts last season with the Red Sox. He’s plenty familiar with the American League East, having made appearances in the past with the Rays, Yankees, and indeed, even, the Orioles way back in 2009. Of course, that was well before Hill salvaged his career in 2015. He appeared in 14 games for Baltimore, amassing a 7.80 ERA and issuing nearly one walk for every strikeout.
Were the Orioles to reunite with Hill, they’d certainly be hoping for better results.
A’s ink May
The A’s on Friday announced that they’ve signed veteran reliever Trevor May to a one-year contract. ESPN reports that the deal is worth $7 million with the opportunity to make another $500,000 in incentives. May, 33, is coming off a disappointing season for the Mets in 2023, but since the start of the 2018 season he boasts a 120 ERA+ with a 3.75 K/BB ratio.
As things stand now, May — a 33-year-old middle reliever, by way of reminder — would be Oakland’s highest-paid player in 2023.

Winter Meetings Prospect trades Rule 5 Draft Draft lottery
For people who track prospects, baseball action never really stops. The Arizona Fall League carries us past the World Series. LIDOM and other winter leagues featuring up-and-coming stars really start cooking shortly thereafter, bringing us within a few short weeks of pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training.
The clear high point between November and March, though, is the Winter Meetings. As far as prospect news goes, anything and everything can and will happen at the Winter Meetings.
This year’s iteration takes place from Dec. 4-7 in San Diego, where Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and other members of the MLB Pipeline crew will be keeping a close eye on all the transactions that might impact any of the 30 Major League organizations on any level.
Here’s a breakdown of what, when and how to watch:
When representatives from every team are gathered in the same place, it’s a safe bet some blockbuster deals are going to go down. The big league names involved end up in the headlines, but prospects are typically a huge part of the story. And, as a quick look through the biggest prospect trades of all time demonstrates, a considerable percentage of these swaps happen during the Winter Meetings.
A new addition this year, the Draft lottery takes place Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 PT — live on MLB Network and MLB.com — and will determine which teams will be in the catbird seat for the 2023 Draft. The Nationals, Athletics and Pirates each have a 16.5 percent chance of winning the No. 1 overall pick, and most clubs have a shot.
We’ll have a close eye on which clubs fortunes favor and which will have to be especially strategic to get the most out of their picks in next year’s Draft.
The Rule 5 Draft takes place on Wednesday at 5 p.m. ET and will be streamed live on MLB.com. Designed to ensure that big league-ready players get big league opportunities, the 100-plus-year-old event permits teams to pick up certain Minor League players who have not been protected by being placed on a 40-man roster. A team that’s selected a player in the Rule 5 Draft must pay the team of origin $100,000 and keep the claimed player on the 26-man roster for the duration of the coming season or place him on outright waivers. If the player clears waivers, he’s offered back to the club from which he was claimed for $50,000.
Admittedly, the most highly touted prospects tend to be protected from the Rule 5 Draft by dint of either where they are in the development (i.e., not yet ready for The Show and thereby very unlikely to stick on a 26-man roster) or by being placed on their team’s 40-man roster.
But there are steals to be had! Johan Santana, R.A. Dickey, Shane Victorino and Josh Hamilton were all Rule 5 Draft picks at one point. The Orioles grabbed Nestor Cortes from the Yankees in the 2017 Rule 5 Draft but returned him the following April. MLB Pipeline recently broke down the top 10 Rule 5 picks of the last decade, and the list is filled with names of players who are now standout contributors in the Majors.
Major League free agent signings might not leap to mind in terms of transactions affecting farm systems, but they have a direct impact on the Draft.
Any team that loses a qualifying free agent, doesn’t receive funds from revenue sharing and kept its payroll beneath the luxury-tax threshold in the 2022 season gets to make a compensatory pick after Competitive Balance Round B in the Draft. Teams that exceeded the luxury-tax threshold but lose a qualifying free agent and do not receive revenue-sharing funds get to make a compensatory pick before Round 5.
So, what does that mean in practical terms?
Of the 14 free agents who received qualifying offers this year, two (the Rangers’ Martín Pérez and the Giants’ Joc Pederson) accepted, one signed a new deal in-house (the Yankees’ Anthony Rizzo) and one already signed elsewhere (Tyler Anderson leaving the Dodgers to join the Angels), with 10 headed into the Meetings unsigned.
That means the Cubs (because of Willson Contreras), Braves (Dansby Swanson) and Giants (Carlos Rodón) will receive additional picks before the third round of the 2023 Draft if their free agents sign elsewhere.
The Yankees (for Aaron Judge), the Dodgers (Trea Turner, plus one additional pick already in the bag for Anderson), the Mets (Chris Bassitt, Jacob deGrom, Brandon Nimmo) and the Red Sox (Xander Bogaerts, Nathan Eovaldi) could end up with extra picks between the fourth and fifth round.
Prospect trades at Winter Meetings
The baseball world will descend on San Diego next week with the 2022 Winter Meetings set to kick off on Sunday.
Here is a look at six of the most popular Winter Meetings — or “Winter Meetings-adjacent” — trades involving top prospects at the time and which side won them.
Dec. 6, 1989: Cleveland gets Sandy Alomar, Carlos Baerga and Chris James from the Padres for Joe Carter
Callis: Sandy Alomar was Baseball America’s Minor League player of the year in 1989, but he was blocked by Benito Santiago, and Baerga was regarded as a prospect, but he wasn’t your classic second base prospect. And back then RBIs were king and Joe Carter was Mr. RBI. That was a blockbuster and Cleveland won that trade because they got several years of cost control and quality play from Alomar and Baerga.
Mayo: Nowadays no one would even blink with Baerga playing second base, especially with all the shifting, but even without it. He could really hit, and Alomar and Baerga were keys to that team that had postseason success in the coming years.
Dec. 9, 2012: Rays get Wil Myers, Jake Odorizzi, Mike Montgomery and Patrick Leonard from the Royals for James Shields and Wade Davis
Myers was the No. 3 overall prospect on the Pipeline list, but this deal was also exciting because Montgomery was our No. 31 prospect in 2012 and Odorizzi was No. 47 that year.
Callis: I think the Rays got a decent package of talent, but I don’t think that any of those individual guys lived up to what they thought they would be, and at the time (Royals GM) Dayton Moore got killed for this trade. James Shields helped the Royals win the 2014 AL pennant … and they didn’t just get “Big Game James”, they got Wade Davis, who wound up being one of the best closers in baseball and played a key role in the 2015 World Series championship and two pennants.
Mayo: I would go Royals as well. None of those guys were huge impact players with the Rays, so I will give the Royals the edge in getting Big Game James.
Dec. 9, 2015: Braves get Dansby Swanson, Aaron Blair and Ender Inciarte from the D-backs for Shelby Miller and Gabe Speier
Callis: That was one that we were all puzzled about at the time. But John Coppolella did a lot of good work in Atlanta, and I know it didn’t end well, but he did some good work in Atlanta that wound up resulting in a World Series championship.
Dec. 6, 2016: White Sox get Yoán Moncada, Michael Kopech, Luis Alexander Basabe and Victor Diaz from the Red Sox for Chris Sale
Moncada was the No. 1 prospect in baseball at the time, and it marked the first time in 25 years the No. 1 guy had been included in a trade. The flame-throwing Kopech was also a Top 100 prospect.
Callis: I don’t think Moncada and Kopech have been really what the White Sox had hoped, except maybe in flashes. So, I think it’s a clear Red Sox win with a chance to maybe get more even, but I think the Red Sox make that trade every time.
Mayo: I think you cold make an argument in either direction, but the fact that the Red Sox won the World Series in 2018, and what Chris Sale has done for the Red Sox, obviously I would give the Red Sox the win even if Moncada and Kopech help the White Sox reach the postseason a few years later.
Dec. 7, 2016: White Sox get Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo López and Dane Dunning from the Nationals for Adam Eaton
Callis: At the time we had Giolito as the best pitching prospect in baseball and we kind of found out after that trade and into the next season that the industry had cooled on him … I don’t know if (Nationals GM) Mike Rizzo would admit this now, but I think the Nationals thought they were selling high on Lucas Giolito at the time.
Mayo: Even if Lucas Giolito has been a little up-and-down, he has been a mainstay in the White Sox rotation, and Adam Eaton … I remember thinking at the time, ‘Wow! They got all of that for Adam Eaton?’ And I still think, ‘Wow! They got all of that for Adam Eaton?’
Dec. 3, 2018: Mariners get Jarred Kelenic, Jay Bruce, Anthony Swarzak, Justin Dunn and Gerson Bautista from the Mets for Robinson Canó and Edwin Díaz
Callis: It’s really flipped, hasn’t it? At first we’re like, what a bad trade for the Mets. And now it’s like, what’s going on with Jarred Kelenic? Are the Mariners going to get anything out of this?
Mayo: Justin Dunn has since moved on, and say what you want about Robinson Canó but Edwin Díaz has turned into Edwin Díaz, so check mark for the Mets, unexpectedly. Which is why you can’t really evaluate things like this until much later on because you never know. Not that Edwin Díaz was a throw-in, but complementary pieces and not the big names end up being the best players in trades.
