Granderson (finger) aims to return this month

Curtis Granderson (finger) said Monday that he's optimistic he can return by the end of the month.

Yankees GM Brian Cashman said over the weekend that early August was likely, but Granderson hopes to make it back sooner. Sidelined since May 24 with a broken left pinkie, the 32-year-old outfielder has begun hitting in the cage and taking soft tosses. It's not clear when he'll begin a minor league rehab assignment, but he'll have to make quick progress in order to meet his goal.

Indians make offer to former closer Axford

The Indians have made an offer to John Axford, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.

The Indians are still searching for next year's closer after releasing Chris Perez earlier this offseason. Axford began last season as the Brewers' closer but struggled in the role, eventually being traded to the Cardinals and finishing the season in a middle relief role. The Orioles, Cubs and Mariners are all in on the 30-year-old as well.

O's considering contract extension for Hardy

The Orioles have considered discussing a contract extension with J.J. Hardy, according to Britt Ghiroli of MLB.com.

"J.J. has had a couple really good years for the team," executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette said Wednesday, "and I think the interest is mutual between he and the Orioles and extending that relationship." Hardy's name came up in trade rumors earlier this offseason, but nothing ever got too serious. The 31-year-old was a Silver Slugger and Gold Glove winner this past season and will be in the final year of a three-year, $22.5 million deal in 2014.

Report: Choo looking for eight-year deal

Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports writes that the general sense among teams is that Shin-Soo Choo will sign if he gets an eight-year deal.

Previous reports indicated that he was looking for a deal in the range of Jacoby Ellsubry's seven-year, $153 million contract with the Yankees, but it appears that he's aiming higher. Passan hears that he already has one seven-year offer on the table. The 31-year-old outfielder has been mentioned in connection with the Mariners and Rangers in recent days.

Report: Tanaka is D-Backs' No. 1 target

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that Japanese right-hander Masahiro Tanaka is the Diamondbacks' No. 1 target.

The Diamondbacks are reportedly targeting starters via free agency and trade, but Tanaka is at the top of their list. Of course, we're not sure he will actually be posted yet and Arizona figures to have plenty of competition to sign him.

Jose Veras turns down offer from Astros

Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports that Jose Veras has turned down an offer from the Astros.

The two sides are still negotiating. Veras enjoyed success in the closer role with the Astros this past season before being traded to the Tigers in late July. If brought back to Houston, he would presumably get save chances once again.

Mets, Colon agree to two-year, $20M deal

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Mets and Bartolo Colon have agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract, pending a physical.

Sweeny Murti of WFAN previously reported that the two sides were discussing a deal. Colon turns 41 in May, so giving him a two-year deal is a bit of a risk, but the price is reasonable enough in this market. The veteran right-hander posted a 2.65 ERA and 117/29 K/BB ratio over 190 1/3 innings this past season with Oakland. He'll join a Mets' rotation which also includes Jon Niese, Dillon Gee, and Zack Wheeler.

Tigers finalize agreement with Rajai Davis

Tigers signed OF Rajai Davis to a two-year, $10 million contract.

Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca passed along the contract details. Davis, 33, batted .260/.312/.375 with six homers and 45 stolen bases this past season and figures to platoon with Andy Dirks in left field in Detroit.

Report: Pirates ink Volquez to 1-yr deal

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Pirates have signed Edinson Volquez to a one-year, $5 million contract, pending a physical.

Ray Searage's latest reclamation project, Volquez posted an ugly 5.71 ERA and 142/77 K/BB ratio over 170 1/3 innings this past season with the Padres and Dodgers. His control will likely always be an issue, but we wouldn't rule out a return to fantasy relevancy.

Cubs interested in RHP Roberto Hernandez

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Cubs are among the teams showing interest in free agent right-hander Roberto Hernandez.

Hernandez, 33, posted a 4.89 ERA and 113/38 K/BB ratio in 151 innings over 24 starts and eight relief appearances this past season with the Rays. He will likely only require a one-year deal.

Seattle 'now unlikely' to sign Shin-Soo Choo

FOX Sports' Jon Morosi says the Mariners are "now unlikely" to sign free agent Shin-Soo Choo.

The Mariners beefed up their offense on Wednesday by signing Corey Hart and acquiring Logan Morrison from the Marlins, so the focus has shifted away from big-money free agent bats. Choo is also drawing serious interest from the Rangers and a couple others, but he seems doubtful to land the $150-plus million contract that he reportedly desires. Choo, 31, hit .285/.423/.462 with 21 home runs and 20 stolen bases in 154 games this past season for the Reds. Cincinnati could become a darkhorse to re-sign him.

Hart's deal with Seattle has $5M base salary

According to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, Corey Hart's new one-year contract with the Mariners carries a $5 million base salary and $8 million in incentives.

That's a very team-friendly contract structure. Hart missed the entire 2013 season following dual knee surgeries, but he's been a fantastic hitter when healthy and could prove to be a major bargain for the win-now M's. It's surprising that more teams didn't get involved. The one-year contract is only pending a physical.
