Luis Garcia to Giants, per @ByRobertMurry. 2 yr, 7 Million.
Kind of dumb that the Cards didn't keep him.

The Astros did not make the re-signing of Justin Verlander official prior to the lockout.

And it can't become official until a new CBA is in place, which means Verlander is still technically a free agent. It's curious, because reports of Verlander's one-year, $25 million deal (with a $25 million player option for 2023) surfaced two weeks prior to the expiration of the previous CBA. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic writes that the "logical conclusion is that an issue arose" with Verlander's physical. That's just speculation at this point, though. Verlander hasn't commented on the situation and the Astros aren't able to during the lockout. The 38-year-old, of course, is on the comeback trail from Tommy John surgery.

Hector Gomez of Z101 Digital confirms that Gregory Polanco is "very close" to an agreement with a team in Japan.

Polanco was released by the Pirates this past August, having slashed just .191/.261/.345 over his last 556 major league plate appearances dating back to the beginning of the 2020 season. He did then latch on with the Blue Jays but played out the string at Triple-A Buffalo. The 30-year-old former top prospect will now apparently try to resuscitate his career in Nippon Professional Baseball. Look for something more official soon.
