Denard Span isn't Yoenis Cespedes or Justin Upton. So if you were a San Francisco Giants fan hoping for another top-shelf addition in what has been a splashy offseason, perhaps Span's signing—first reported by CBS Sports' Jon Heyman—leaves you feeling underwhelmed. 

Don't worry. Noah Syndergaard didn't actually chop his precious locks. He did, however, have a little fun with his fans.

The New York Mets pitcher posted a photo of himself sitting in a salon chair on Wednesday, captioning it with a suspenseful "Guess what time it is...."

The right-hander kept the joke up for five hours before finally following it up with another photo, writing a sly "Just kidding":

The Los Angeles Dodgers were never going to replace Zack Greinke. That may as well have been a decree from the baseball gods.

Seattle wasted no time celebrating Ken Griffey Jr.'s record-setting Hall of Fame induction on Wednesday.

The new year may have just kicked off, but Bartolo Colon wasted no time jumping in.

The right-hander is already working to make the most of the $7.25 million deal the New York Mets struck with him to bring him back for one more season.

For most of the last two years, the New York Yankees specialized in acquisitions that were anything but flashy. Many were useful and some were surprisingly good, but none of them screamed, "Look at us!"

Like trading for Aroldis Chapman did. Now that's a Yankee move.

After losing Zack Greinke via free agency, the Los Angeles Dodgers made a move to bolster their pitching staff, as they reportedly agreed to a deal with Japanese starting pitcher Kenta Maeda. 

Jon Heyman of CBS Sports first reported the signing, and ESPN.com's Jim Bowden and Mark Saxon confirmed the deal Saturday. 

Scott Kazmir is nice. Quite fine, even.

But Scott Kazmir is not enough to fix what is becoming a more uninspiring offseason by the day for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Dodgers, three-time defending National League West champions, agreed to a three-year, $48 million contract with the left-handed Kazmir, according to Fox Sports' Jon Morosi:

It's not uncommon for a player to go from being a top prospect to being trade bait in a matter of years. That sort of thing happens all the time.

But Jurickson Profar? He's a different story. The Texas Rangers' 22-year-old middle infielder is definitely a former top prospect, but his status as trade bait is...well, even "complicated" is putting it lightly.

First, let's get this out of the way: Jose Fernandez won't come cheap, if he comes at all.

The Miami Marlins are under no obligation to trade the 23-year-old budding ace. And if they do, they'll demand a king's ransom.
