AL Notes: Buchholz, Cowart, Cabrera, Twins, Farquhar

•Clay Buchholz is drawing interest from multiple clubs, including the Rangers. They have already upgraded their rotation, Signing Lance Lynn, Drew Smyly, Shelby Miller, and Edinson Volquez, and now are in contact with Clay Buchholz, who had a nice season. He pitched to a 7-2 record with a dazzling 2.01 ERA, with 81 Ks, a 1.04 WHIP, and a .220 OPP AVG in 16 games, 81.2 innings. He would make a nice pickup for a rebuilding rangers club, who especially needs starting pitchers.

•The Mariners have announced that they have DFA’d 2-way-player Kaleb Cowart. Earlier in the offseason, he was acquired from the angelf for minor leaguers. He hit .134 with 1 homer, 10 RBIs, and a .534 OPS in 47 games. He plans on becoming a pitcher.

•The Rangers have reportedly agreed to terms on a 1 year, $3.55M for next season. Cabrera is can play any infield position, with above average defense, and hits pretty well too. last year, he hit .262 with 23 homers, 75 RBIs, and a .754 OPS in 147 games. I would say that this is a nice veteran pickup for the rangers.

•The Twins have agreed to a deal with Martin Perez on a one year deal worth $3.5M and an option for 2020. Perez will join a twins staff with Jose Berrios, Jake Odorizzi, Kyle Gibson, Michael Pineda, Stephen Gonsalves, Fernando Romero, and Adalberto Mejia. Perez pitched to a 2-7 record with a 6.22 ERA, and 52 Ks in 85.1 innings.

•The Yankees have signed Danny Farquhar to a minor league contract. Farquhar, who survived a deadly ruptured aneurysm, missed most of 2018 recovering. I’m glad that he will pitch again and with one of the MLB’s best teams.
