As spring training progresses, the baseball world is focused on three key developments. The Nationals are expected to finalize a deal with right-hander Sims soon, potentially involving a 40-man roster move. Additionally, extension talks are underway, highlighted by the Blue Jays' failure to extend Vladimir Guerrero Jr. before his deadline and the Diamondbacks' success with shortstop Geraldo Perdomo. Spring training is known for fostering discussions on long-term deals, and many teams are motivated to solidify their rosters before the start of the season.
"The Nationals were reportedly nearing a deal with right-hander earlier this week, and this morning MASNsports.com's Mark Zuckerman reports that Sims has a locker in the team's clubhouse."
"The Blue Jays and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. did not reach an extension before Guerrero's self-imposed deadline yesterday, which took perhaps the winter's highest-profile extension target off of the table."
"Spring training is the most common time for players and clubs to discuss the possibility of a longer-term deal."
"Perdomo's extension serves as a reminder that many long-term deals for players still approaching or just entering arbitration come to fruition without virtually any buzz beforehand."
