"29 out of 30 teams have already had their pitchers and catchers officially report for camp, and today the 30th and final team will have its first workout: the reigning World Series champion Dodgers. It's a slightly different look in camp for L.A. than previous years. Future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw is not present following his retirement while star closer and outfielder Kyle Tucker will be suiting up in Dodger blue for the first time."
"Earlier this week, the Orioles signed Chris Bassitt among a flurry of starting pitching signings that also saw veterans like Justin Verlander ( Tigers) and Jose Quintana ( Rockies) find their next club. That's a notable move from Baltimore in part because the club was one of the teams that had been most clearly linked to this offseason. With camps opening up around the league, Gallen remains unsigned and will need to find a team in a hurry"
"The Braves, who recently lost Spencer Schwellenbach for an extended period due to bone spurs in his elbow, could also make sense but may not want to punt the draft pick and shell out the necessary dollars to bring him into the fold. It's possible another spring injury could open a new door for Gallen, but there aren't a lot of clean fits at the moment."
The Dodgers are the final team to have pitchers and catchers report, starting camp without Clayton Kershaw and with Kyle Tucker joining the roster. The club re-signed Enrique Hernandez to a one-year deal and reached a short-term extension with a veteran third baseman. Chris Gallen remains unsigned despite several teams adding starters, including the Orioles' signing of Chris Bassitt. Gallen remains a potential fit for the Padres, Diamondbacks, or Braves, but payroll, draft-pick considerations, and limited clean fits complicate his landing spot. Spring injuries could create opportunities, but few obvious destinations exist at the moment. The Castellanos-Phillies situation remains unresolved.
