Why 2016 AL Rookie of the Year Michael Fulmer, in camp as a non-roster player, might be Giants' most intriguing bullpen candidate - and he also brings a very practical skill, too: sfchronicle.com/sports/giants/ via @sfchronicle

The Mariners have signed right-hander Michael Fulmer to a minor league deal, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. He had been with the Royals on a minor league deal but the log indicates he was released from that pact a few days ago. Fulmer, 32, is having a nomadic year. He signed a two-year…

Most recent Twins-Tigers trades: August 2022: Sawyer Gipson-Long for Michael Fulmer August 2011: Delmon Young for Lester Oliveros and Cole Nelson July 2001: Mark Redman for Todd Jones Fun fact: We recorded the first ever Gleeman and The Geek show the night of the 2011 trade.

Over the last 20 seasons, 4 MLB pitchers 22 or younger have thrown a "Maddux" (9.0+ inning CG shutout on under 100 pitches). All 4 of them did so against the Angels. Felix Hernandez (8/28/2006) Derek Holland (8/9/2009) Henderson Alvarez III (5/4/2012) Joey Estes (tonight)

Escalators can bring the total to over $90 million, source said. The previous record deal for a starting pitcher who was not yet arbitration eligible and had a career ERA over 4.25 was $28.5 million (Derek Holland). twitter.com/jonheyman/stat…

Daniel Norris Blue Jays jersey at Comerica Park, where Tigers fall to Jays, 4-1, in rubber match of series. Tigers fall 5.5 games behind Guardians heading into 4-game division clash at Comerica Park beginning Monday night.

Daniel Norris has cleared waivers, and the Guardians have outrighted the veteran left-hander off their 40-man roster.  Cleveland designated Norris for assignment earlier this week. The next step is for Norris to decide whether or not to accept the outright assignment, since he has the option of instead becoming a free agent.  It was less…

He takes the vacated active and 40-man roster spots after yesterday’s designation of Noah Syndergaard. Norris has been on and off the Cleveland roster three times. The Guardians had outrighted him a couple weeks ago, but he quickly returned…

Veteran right-hander Spencer Turnbull has signed with Cerveceros de Tecate of the Mexican Northern League, relays Evan Woodbery of MLive.com. Turnbull made a handful of appearances with the Blue Jays last season. He closed the year in the Royals’ minor league system. Turnbull, 33, spent parts of seven seasons in the big leagues. The majority […]

The Royals announced that right-hander Spencer Turnbull has been signed to a minor league contract.  Turnbull had been in the Cubs organization on another minors deal until two days ago, when he triggered an opt-out clause to obtain a release.

Grayson Greiner has retired from professional baseball. 

Greiner latched on with the Rockies in late March after failing to make the Tigers out of spring training, but he's decided to hang them up after playing 20 games in Triple-A to begin the year. The 30-year-old played in two games with the Diamondbacks last season, but he's best known for his time with the Tigers from 2018-2021 where he slashed .201/.274/.309 over 137 games. 

Grayson Greiner started catching as a youngster, fell in love with the position and hasn't given it up — even though there's never been a catcher taller than 6-6 in MLB history.

The Angels announced that Jeimer Candelario was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake after being designated for assignment on Saturday. The team didn’t specify whether the veteran infielder will accept the assignment or elect free agency. Candelario may prefer to stick in the organization rather than pursue what would surely be a minor league opportunity elsewhere. […]

Nationals signed OF Nomar Mazara to a minor league contract.

Mazara spent time with the Orioles during spring training before being released at the end of March after going 9-for-39 (.231) with no homers in 16 Grapefruit League games. He'll add minor league outfield depth for the Nationals.

The Orioles announced several roster moves today, including that infielder/outfielder Franchy Cordero and outfielder Nomar Mazara have been released.

Nick Howard and Jonathon Crawford have had a rough go of it early in their professional careers, but both are participating in instructional league play in Goodyear, Ariz., and are showing signs of perhaps heading back in the right direction.

Crawford allowed three runs, two earned, in Tuesday's start for High-A Daytona, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

You may remember Crawford as the other part of the Reds' trade of Alfredo Simon that more notably netted them Eugenio Suarez, or chances are you may not. Crawford hasn't yet exceeded High-A despite being a first-round pick in 2013. He threw only 22.2 innings at High-A last year and this year so far has a 1.45 ERA in 18.2 innings there, albeit with 11 walks and 17 hits allowed.

Crawford, who was acquired by the Reds in the Alfredo Simon deal, spent the first half of the season on the DL before debuting with High-A Daytona. He has pitched in two games there, posting a 8.44 ERA over 5.1 innings.

Spin: The other part of the Simon deal, Eugenio Suarez, has fared reasonably well since getting the starting job after Zack Cozart's injury. They haven't gotten the same mileage from Crawford yet, but there's still plenty of time.

Steven Moya Tigers jersey at Joker Marchant Stadium, where Phillies now have a six-run eighth inning and an 8-5 lead.

Emily Walden of The Athletic reports that Steven Moya will sign a one-year deal with the Chunichi Dragons of the Nippon Professional Baseball League.

Impacts: Moya was recently outrighted from the 40-man roster. Once a former top prospect in the Detroit system, The 25-year oldhas shown big-time power in his bat, but has struggled with anything that isn't straight. He'll look to resurrect his stock by performing well in the NPB like several other sluggers have done.

Moya is on the 7-day DL at Triple-A Toledo with a left oblique strain.

After clearing waivers before the season, it's safe to say the 25-year-old power hitter's prospect stock has cratered. He was hitting .161/.196/.355 with five home runs and a horrendous 38:4 K:BB in 93 at-bats.
