Coming off his most productive season in years, Brett Anderson has decided to stick with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Toronto Blue Jays and starting pitcher Marco Estrada agreed to a two-year, $26 million contract Friday, according to Shi Davidi and Mike Wilner of Sportsnet. 

Matt Wieters is staying with the only Major League Baseball organization he knows.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the market for starting pitching, and word is they're willing to go big. They either want to re-sign Zack Greinke or, failing that, sign David Price instead.

The first big shot of the 2015 MLB offseason has been fired, and the Los Angeles Angels pulled the trigger.

The bullet, to stretch the analogy, is Andrelton Simmons, the slickest-fielding shortstop in the game and now a member of the Halos after Los Angeles and the Atlanta Braves swung a landscape-shifting five-player trade Thursday.

Colby Rasmus reignited his career as a member of the Houston Astros in 2015, so it's no surprise that the 29-year-old has decided to extend his stay with the franchise as the team confirmed on Friday.

The New York Mets are in an enviable position as the free-agent market opens because they may be the one team in baseball that really doesn't need David Price or Zack Greinke.

Too bad the market doesn't also offer them what they do need.

Atlanta Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons is one of the smoothest-fielding shortstops in the game and a productive bat in a mediocre Braves lineup, but his time in Atlanta could be running out.

A.J. Pierzynski's first season with the Atlanta Braves was a resurgent one, so it's no surprise the team acted swiftly to bring the veteran catcher back on a short-term pact. 

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg is recovering after undergoing surgery to remove a growth in his back, per Fox Sports' Jon Morosi.
