Frazier, released by the Yankees last offseason and by the Cubs following this past year, has finally landed with another team, as he signed a minor league deal with the Rangers on Friday.

Mondesi Ships Up To Boston

The Rays continued to solidify the long-term future of their formidable starting rotation on Wednesday signing left-hander Jeffrey Springs to a four-year, $31 million contract extension, which could be worth up to $65.75 million over five seasons through performance-related bonuses. He doesn't possess immense upside from a fantasy standpoint due to a rather pedestrian strikeout rate, but he's excellent from a run-prevention standpoint and will slot in as a borderline top-50 starting pitcher in drafts this spring.
