There are still plenty of free agents waiting to sign and trade candidates waiting to move. There will be no shortage of activity between now and the start of camp. Here now are Tuesday's hot stove happenings.
The Los Angeles Dodgers added Kirby Yates to their already stacked roster. Several teams deserve blame for allowing that to happen.
The Dodgers’ offseason spending spree has included signing Blake Snell to a five-year, $182 million contract and inking Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki to a minor league deal.
Before landing Yates, the Dodgers agreed to terms with former Padres closer Tanner Scott on a four-year, $72 million deal. And before that, they brought back Blake Treinen on a two-year, $22 million deal.

On Tuesday night, the team agreed to a one-year, $13-million contract with veteran right-handed reliever Kirby Yates, according to a person with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly. The signing came a week after news emerged the Dodgers and Yates were in advanced discussions on a deal.

With the free agent reliever market beginning to thin out with Spring Training just around the corner, right-hander Carlos Estévez has reportedly found a new home in the AL Central.
The Royals opened last year with a payroll of $115M, per Cot’s Baseball Contracts. They are projected by RosterResource to be up to $123M next year, before accounting for Estévez. They have reportedly been looking for a middle-of-the-order bat. Whether they can find one will likely depend on how much farther they are willing to push the spending.
