Hello, Florida

 And they're in camp...and not much else shakin'

  • No player probs this year; everyone showed up on time this year.
  • RHP Chase Anderson agreed to a minor league contract with an invite to camp; he's slashed 6-16-1/6.19 for five teams since 2020. LHP Josh Fleming (2-0/4.70 in 12 outings with Tampa), a pitch-to-contact long man/spot starter, signed a split contract with the Bucs reportedly worth $850K if he makes the big club, $240K if not. Earlier, righty reliever Connor Sadzeck was added to the NRI list. They join INF Sergio Alcantara, OF Gilberto Celestino, RHP Ben Heller, RHP Brent Honeywell Jr, UT Jake Lamb, OF Billy McKinney, RHP Wily Peralta, LHP Michael Plassmeyer, RHP Ryder Ryan & RHP Hunter Stratton as signees in camp.
  • RHP Johan Oviedo and C Endy Rodriguez were placed on the 60-day IL to keep the 40-man roster kosher.
  • Four Bucco pups made Fangraph's Prospect List - righties Paul Skenes (#10), Jared Jones ($62) and Bubba Chandler (#64) along w/2B Termarr Johnson (#37).
  • ZiPs released their Top 100 Prospect list, too. It included Johnson (#25), Skenes (#30), LHP  Anthony Solometo (#50), LHP Michael Kennedy (#62), Chandler (#98) and RHP Thomas Harrington (#100).
  • OF Ben Gamel signed an NRI deal with the Mets. He played in 226 games here in 2021-22, batting .242 as a corner OF with a little CF and 1B tossed in.
  • The Phillies claimed IF Diego Castillo off waivers last week; they DFA'ed him on Tuesday. He's been on four different rosters since December 22th, and it became five when the Baltimore Orioles claimed him on Friday. They DFA'ed him Sunday.
  • DH Daniel Vogelbach signed with the Blue Jays and RHP Austin Brice agreed to an NRI deal with the Phillies.
