Esmerling Vasquez - R - Twins

Twins sent RHP Esmerling Vasquez outright to Triple-A Rochester.

The Twins designated Vasquez for assignment last week to clear a roster spot for new outfielder Darin Mastroianni. The 28-year-old reliever has been invited back to compete for a bullpen job in camp this spring.

Vladimir Guerrero - DH - Orioles

According to ESPN's Buster Olney, Vladimir Guerrero has let the Yankees know that he wants their DH job.

Olney believes Raul Ibanez is still the front-runner to get it. But perhaps Vlad can shake things up by accepting an extremely low base salary. The 37-year-old Guerrero registered a .733 OPS, 13 home runs and 63 RBI in 145 games last season for the Orioles. At last check, he was on the hunt for a one-year, $5 million contract.

Johan Santana - S - Mets

Johan Santana (shoulder) played long toss from a distance of 175 feet on Monday in Mets camp.

Mets manager Terry Collins said the rehabbing left-hander "looked great." Santana is expected to throw off a mound by the end of this week and should only be a few steps behind the other starters in Mets camp when spring training opens for pitchers and catchers in five days. He's aiming to make around 25 starts in 2012.

Casey Janssen - R - Blue Jays

According to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca, the Blue Jays are nearing a two-year deal with Casey Janssen.

The contract will cover Janssen's final year of arbitration eligibility and his first year of free agency. It also carries an option for 2014. He posted a 2.26 ERA and 53/14 K/BB ratio across 55 2/3 innings last season and has developed into one of baseball's more reliable setup men. The 30-year-old right-hander should remain a valuable piece of the Toronto 'pen for the next few years.

Mike Gonzalez - R - Rangers

According to Buster Olney, the A's are "in talks" with free agent left-hander Mike Gonzalez.

The A's are really turning up the heat as spring training nears. They came out of nowhere to sign Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes on Monday, they remain in contact with Manny Ramirez, and they're now considering adding Gonzalaez. The 31-year-old southpaw posted a 2.86 ERA in the second half last season while holding left-handed batters to a .171 batting average.

Manny Ramirez - DH - Rays

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Athletics are still interested in Manny Ramirez even after the signing of Yoenis Cespedes.

The A's would like Manny to be their designated hitter, but they're focused on adding a reliever first. Ramirez, of course, will have to sit out the first 50 games of the season due to a positive PED test, but he's probably worth a shot on a minor league deal. The A's will likely be hoping he can put together a good stretch prior to the trade deadline before they barter him to a contender.

Mike Gonzalez - R - Rangers

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Athletics are looking to add a reliever and free agent left-hander Mike Gonzalez "remains a possibility."

Rosenthal notes that the A's are still interested in Manny Ramirez despite the signing of Yoenis Cespedes, but they want to add a reliever first. They've talked to the Rangers about a trade for Koji Uehara, but signing Gonzalez might be more likely at this point. The southpaw posted a 4.27 ERA and 1.38 WHIP last season for Baltimore and Texas, but he was good in the second half, holding a 2.86 ERA while limiting left-handed batters to a .171 average.

Jose Veras - R - Brewers

The Brewers had an arbitration hearing on Monday morning with right-hander Jose Veras.

Veras requested $2.38 million and was offered $2 million by the Brewers when arbitration bids were exchanged last month, and the two sides were unable to find a middle ground. An independent arbitrator will pick from one of the submitted figures by Tuesday evening.
