Sources: The #Cubs signed RHP Gabe Klobosits to a minor league deal.
Klobosits had a 3.51 ERA in 33.1 IP in Triple-A last season.
He has 11 games of MLB experience with the Nationals.

I think Red Sox fans should keep in mind:
1. The farm system isn't very deep and trading top young players from MLB roster might hurt more than it'll help
2. This is going to be an extremely weird and disjointed offseason where I doubt big trades happen at all

Not as much as you might expect. I did a pretty good job projecting who would and who wouldn't have their options activated. The only one I missed on was Jeffrey Springs. Though I'll admit I forgot Luis Robert had one so added him to.
The crazy day is when players get nontendered.
@EdHand89, are you having a busy day adding free agents to the tracker? 🤔

Neither particularly sexy but they're known quantities of minor league depth.
Two more MiLB re-signings for the Red Sox:
🔺LHP Michael Sansone
🔺RHP Patrick Halligan
