11:57 am: The Rays signed James Loney for 1-year $2 million. Loney has been a disappointing hitter throughout his career posting a meager career 103 wRC+ which simply isn't enough production from first base. With that said, now on the Rays I fully expect James Loney to get playing time in mid-April and finish with the best season of his career. I kid, I kid, sort of.
12:06 pm: The Red Sox signed Mike Napoli to a three-year $39 million deal. Napoli should be a beast in Fenway and fills their first base need. While this might be a slight overpay given Napoli's 2012 season, Napoli should receive consistent playing time primarily at first, something he hasn't really had his entire career. I wouldn't be surprised to see Nap come closer to his fantastic 2011 season when he batted .320/.414/.631.
12:15 pm: Alex Rodriguez is having hip surgery (again) and this time he is expected to miss more time, potentially 3-6 months. The Yankees now have a big need on the left side of the infield to say the least. With Jeter also recovering from injury, Eduardo Nunez and Eric Chavez can't be expected to hold down the fort for an extended period of time. Stephen Drew has been linked with the Yankees and with the recent A-Rod news I'd wager he's a near lock to sign with them very soon. It's also likely that we will start hearing some big names like Chase Headley mentioned in rumors. Stay tuned.
