According to The Athletic’s Zack Meisel, they’re done making moves prior to the 2019 season.Maybe you like this strategy, maybe you don’t, so why don’t you take the wheel? Here’s your chance to make the decisions about how the club navigates the end of this icy offseason. In the style of everyone’s favorite low-key litigious young reader books, I present Select Your Own Offseason: Be the Indians’ General Manager.As of this writing, the Indians 25-man roster looks something like thisNothing is really set in stone (Haase could be replaced by Max Moroff or Oscar Mercado, Salazar could miraculously pitch again!), but I feel that’s a fairly good representation of where the team is at right now. And that’s what matters. We won’t be changing history: the team as it stands today is what your team is to build upon.Now, as general manager http://www.marlinsfanproshop.com/authentic-starlin-castro-jersey , you have a choice. Is this the team you want to take into the season? Do you believe Francona can mold this group into a winner or, at least, that this group can win the AL Central and any issues can be addressed before the July trade deadline?If yes, click here to continue to spring training with the roster as-is.If no, you have one more choice to make:Click here to add to the team via trade, orClick here to add to the team via free agency. KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — The New York Yankees reached into the remainder of the free-agent market to bolster their ailing rotation, agreeing Monday to a minor league contract with Gio Gonzalez.If added to the 40-man roster, the 33-year-old left-hander would get a $3 million salary while in the major leagues and the chance to $9 million in performance bonuses: $300 Miguel Rojas Jersey ,000 for each start through 30. He was a far cheaper alternative to higher-priced options such as Dallas Keuchel.“Being a couple guys down, to have a guy like him still available, a luxury to be able to add him just for some depth,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “He’s certainly good enough to be very much in the mix of things. But we’ll see how far along he is and if we’re at a point where he’s in play actually for the next couple, few weeks.”New York ace Luis Severino is sidelined by right shoulder inflammation and will not be available until May at the earliest. In addition, CC Sabathia is likely to miss the first week or two as he recovers from an offseason that included knee surgery and the insertion of a stent after a blockage was found in an artery from his heart. Sabathia also must serve a five-game suspension for hitting Tampa Bay’s Jesus Sucre with a pitch in his last regular-season start of 2018.Right-hander Masahiro Tanaka heads a rotation that includes lefties James Paxton and J.A. Happ. Jonathan Loaisiga, Luis Cessa and Domingo German are competing for two open rotation spots.Gonzalez is a two-time All-Star and was 21-12 in 2012, his first season with the Nationals. He is 127-97 with a 3.69 ERA in 11 major league seasons and just finished the second option season of a contract that wound up being worth $65.5 million over seven years.Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Gonzalez can opt out of his deal if he’s not added to the major league roster by April 20.“It’s him compared to anybody else we currently have at Triple-A through April 20, and the guy he has always been is lot better than those guys Bryan Holaday Jersey ,” Cashman said.Gonzalez was 10-11 with a 4.21 ERA last season for Washington and Milwaukee, which acquired him on Aug. 31. He was 3-0 in five starts for the Brewers down the stretch, then started Games 1 and 4 of the NL Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was pulled after two innings of the opener and one inning of his second appearance, allowing one run in each.Just two years ago, Gonzalez went 15-9 with a 2.96 ERA in 201 innings for the Nationals.Aaron Boone’s father, former big league catcher Bob Boone, has seen Gonzalez in his role as Washington’s vice president and senior adviser to the general manager. Aaron Boone plans to have dinner with his dad when the Yankees travel across Florida to the east coast later this week.“I’m sure I’ll dive in on him a little bit,” Aaron Boone said.Cashman said the deal came together during Monday night’s 7-4 exhibition win over Atlanta. Luke Voit, trying to beat out Greg Bird for the first base job http://www.marlinsfanproshop.com/authentic-starlin-castro-jersey , hit his fourth homer. Aaron Judge hit a two-run triple. Judge has four doubles, a triple, six homers and 14 RBIs this spring.In his next-to-last tuneup for opening day, Tanaka allowed one run and two hits in five innings, giving up a homer to Nick Markakis.“The movement of the off-speed pitches was good,” Tanaka said through a translator. “Didn’t have much energy on the fastball early, the first two innings or so, but I think velocity kind of came together towards the end.”
