The Giants need help on offense. They haven't had a hitter belt 30+ home runs since Barry Bonds in 2004. This is why they've signed Jorge Soler to a 3-year, $42 million deal. No ballpark is too big to contain Soler, who is an easy threat for 30+ home runs if he stays healthy. The Padres are making a swap in their middle infield alignment. Xander Bogaerts will play 2B and Ha-Seong Kim will play SS. Spring Training is underway. Which top prospects will break camp? All this (and more) on today's episode.

The Royals and Bobby Witt Jr. have agreed to an 11-year, $288.78 million extension. Kansas City locks in their budding young star - a move which can kickstart a genuine attempt to return to relevance.

Altuve was set to be a free agent after the upcoming season but the Astros signed him to a 5-year, $125 million extension. Even at age 34, Altuve is still one of the the game's best players. Clayton Kershaw is back in LA - not that anyone expected him to go anywhere. All this (and more) on today's episode.
