[The Athletic] Exclusive: Audio reveals Ohtani’s former interpreter impersonating Dodgers star in call with bank

[LA Times] This state senator tried to curb the Dodgers’ deferral ‘loophole.’ So far, no luck

[Nightengale] The Dodgers officially announce the Roki Sasaki signing with a press conference this afternoon at Dodger Stadium.

[Nightengale] The Dodgers, who will have a payroll exceeding $380 million, wanted more bullpen depth with reliever Michael Kopech expected to possibly miss the first month of the season.

[Murray] Free-agent reliever Tanner Scott’s four-year, $72 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers includes a $20 million signing bonus and $21 million deferred, according to league sources.

[Ardaya] Tanner Scott&#39;s Dodgers deal includes deferred money and a signing bonus, similar to other deals the Dodgers have done this winter, a league source told The Athletic.

[Heyman] Jays were among teams in on Scott. Tough to compete with Dodgers these days, on field or off

[Rodriguez] Source: Roki Sasaki is close to deal with the Dodgers. The source tells me that it will be a big surprise if Sasaki goes to Toronto. #Dodgers #BlueJays

[Ardaya] Within this story on Gavin Lux: it appears the plan still is for the Dodgers to have Mookie Betts at shortstop even after signing Hyeseong Kim and trading the incumbent 2B in Lux:

[Ardaya] The Dodgers have signed right-handed pitcher Julian Fernández to a minor league deal with a non-roster invite to big league spring training, a source tells The Athletic. Has brief time in the bigs with the Colorado Rockies in 2021.

[Heyman] Having missed out on Garrett Crochet, the Reds have checked in on Nick Pivetta

[Heyman] Cody Bellinger would be a great fit for Yankees since he’s very good at 1B and very solid in CF, too. But for now there’s a gap on the $. Cubs don’t want to eat any of it, Yankees think they should. Bellinger is guaranteed $52.5M over 2 years with an opt-out after 2025.

[Murray] Free-agent reliever Jacob Webb and the Texas Rangers are in agreement on a one-year contract, according to a source familiar with the deal.

[Heyman] Star OF Kyle Tucker’s plan for obvious reasons is said to become a free agent in a year, so an acquiring team won’t be likely to be able to extend him. He surely saw how the market treated Soto and some metrics are comparable

[Sherman] After reaching agreement with Max Fried, the Yankees left talks for Crochet. The Mets, though, remain engaged with the White Sox.

[Nightengale] The White Sox are receiving four minor league players from the Red Sox in the Crochet deal, including catcher Kyle Teel

[The Athletic] Why the Padres could trade Dylan Cease, and more from the Winter Meetings

[Murray] There are multiple teams, including the Washington Nationals, engaged with free-agent first baseman Christian Walker, sources say. Walker, 33, is coming off a season in which he hit .251/.335/.468 with 26 home runs and 84 RBI with the Diamondbacks.

[Nightengale] Believe or not, one of the most aggressive teams in the Max Fried sweepstakes were the Oakland A’s before he signed his 8-year, $118 million deal with the Yankees.

[Gonzalez] Source: The Marlins are getting two prospects, Echedry Vargas and Max Acosta, and a lefty starter, Brayan Mendoza, from the Rangers in exchange for 1B/3B Jake Burger.

[Heyman] Estevan Florial agrees to deal with Hanwha Eagles in Korea

[Ardaya] Roki Sasaki’s agent, Joel Wolfe, just addressed reporters. Said he will meet with Sasaki in coming days to formulate his plan for the posting process, but they will meet with an unspecified number of teams starting next week.

[Ardaya] Tanner Scott's Dodgers deal includes deferred money and a signing bonus, similar to other deals the Dodgers have done this winter, a league source told The Athletic.
