The most coveted free agent left-handed starter went off the board this week when Patrick Corbin passed on five-year offers from the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies to sign a six-year, $140-million deal with the Washington Nationals.

A day later, the Boston Red Sox shelled out big money to keep free agent righty Nathan Eovaldi, a jack-of-all-trades hero on their 2018 World Series championship club.

The next day, one of the Cleveland Indians' three frontline starters who recently were made available probably went off the market, as 17-game winner Carlos Carrasco landed a contract extension on Thursday.

There still are a few top-of-the-rotation starters available for clubs like the Yankees, who are on the hunt for an ace.

Corey Kluber and Trevor Bauer the Indians' two other aces are still out there as trade bait, as is Giants No 1 starter Madison Bumgarner plus free agent lefties Dallas Keuchel and J.A. Happ.

Meantime, former Yankees utility infielder Ronald Torreyes and second baseman Jonathan Schoop will be teammates in their new home and center fielder A.J. Pollock has a new suiter.

Here is the latest news and rumors:

Jeff Chiu | Associated Press

Jose Alvarez, LHP

Club: Philadelphia Phillies.

Age: 29 (30 on May 6, 2019).

Size: 5-11, 180.

Contract: Made $1.05 million in 2018 on one-year contract signed with Los Angeles Angels on Jan. 12, 2018. Avoided salary arbitration.

fourth season of four-year, $22-million extension signed with Indians on April 6, 2015 that includes a $9 million club option and $662,500 buyout for 2019 and $9.5 million club option and $662,500 buyout for 2020. Indians exercised 2019 option on Oct. 30, 2018.

2018 stats: Angels, 6-4, 2.71 ERA, 1 save, 76 games, 63 IP, 51 hits, 20 runs, 19 ER, 3 HR, 22 BB, 59 K.

Don't Edit

Career stats: 12-18, 3.69 ERA, 2 saves, 284 games, 275.1 IP, 273 hits, 127 runs, 113 ER, 26 HR, 88 BB, 246 K in six seasons with Detroit Tigers (2013) and Angels (2014-18).

The latest: In a one-for-one trade of relievers Thursday night, the Phillies acquired Alvarez from the Angels for righty Luis Garcia. Alvarez is coming off his best season, while Garcia pitched to a career-worse 6.07 ERA over 59 outings last season after posting a career-low 2.65 ERA over 66 appearances in 2017. Why would the Angels make this deal? They like Garcia, who throws in the high 90s. Also, Garcia's 2018 ERA was a respectable 3.83 through August, but four really bad outings in September ballooned it over 6.

Michael Brantley, OF

Club: Free agent.

Age: 31 (32 on May 15, 2019).

Size: 6-2, 200.

Bats: Left.

2018 stats: Cleveland Indians, .309 average, 570 AB, 89 runs, 176 hits, 36 doubles, 2 triples, 17 HR, 76 RBI, 48 BB, 60 K, 12 SB, 3 CS, .832 OPS, 143 games.

Career stats: .295 average, 4,055 AB, 543 runs, 1,195 hits, 248 doubles, 19 triples, 87 HR, 828 RBI, 351 BB, 479 K, 118 SB, 30 CS, .781 OPS, 1,051 games in 10 seasons with Cleveland Indians (2009-18).

Don't Edit

Contract: Made $11 million in the club option season in his four-year, $25-million contract.

The latest: Brantley's lone defensive positions as a big leaguer have been all three outfield spots, but his agents are telling interested clubs that he's willing to play some first base next season, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported. Brantley's only action at first base was 32 games in A-ball in 2007 and 21 games in Double-A in 2008.

Carlos Carrasco, RHP

Club: Cleveland Indians.

Age: 31 (32 on March 21, 2019).

Size: 6-3, 212.

Contract: Made $8 million in 2018 in fourth season of four-year, $22-million extension signed with Indians on April 6, 2015 that includes a $9 million club option and $662,500 buyout for 2019 and $9.5 million club option and $662,500 buyout for 2020. Indians exercised 2019 option on Oct. 30, 2018.

2018 stats: Indians, 17-10, 3.38 ERA, 32 games, 30 starts, 192 IP, 173 hits, 78 runs, 72 ER, 21 HR, 43 BB, 231 K.

Don't Edit

Career stats: 79-62, 3.71 ERA, 207 games, 171 starts, 1,094.1 IP, 1,018 hits, 477 runs, 451 ER, 119 HR, 278 BB, 1,127 K in nine seasons with Indians (2009-11, 2013-18).

The latest: The Indians engaged in trade talks on Carrasco recently, but the Venezuelan probably is staying put after signing a three-year, $47-million contract extension on Thursday that will run through 2022 or 2023. The new deal includes a $10.25 million club option or $3 million buyout for '23 and guaranteed what had been a $10.25 million club option for 2020. On Oct. 30, the Indians exercised Carrasco's $9.75 million club option for 2019. "Carrasco's been a workhorse in that rotation," MLB Network analyst Sean Casey said Thursday on MLB Tonight. "I feel like his injuries are behind him. I think it's a fair deal for the Indians and a fair deal for Carrasco. You've seen last two years - 200 innings (in 2017), 192 innings (in 2018) - he's proven he's healthy and I think that's why he got the deal."

Nathan Eovaldi, RHP

Club: Boston Red Sox.

Age: 28 (29 on Feb. 13, 2019).

Size: 6-2. 225.

2018 stats: Tampa Bay Rays, 3-4, 4.26 ERA, 10 starts, 57 IP, 48 hits, 27 runs, 27 ER, 11 HR, 8 BB, 53 K. Red Sox, 3-3, 3.33 ERA, 12 games, 11 starts, 54 IP, 57 hits, 28 runs, 20 ER, 3 HR, 12 BB, 48 K. Totals, 6-7, 3.81 ERA, 22 games, 21 starts, 111 IP, 105 hits, 55 runs, 47 ER, 14 HR, 20 BB, 101 K.

Career stats: 44-53, 4.16 ERA, 156 games, 148 starts, 850 IP, 887 hits, 417 runs, 393 ER, 80 HR, 259 BB, 640 K in seven seasons with Los Angeles Dodgers (2011-12), Miami Marlins (2012-14), New York Yankees (2015-16), Rays (2018) and Red Sox (2018).

Don't Edit

Contract: Signed four-year, $68-million deal with Red Sox as a free agent on Dec. 6 that includes $17-million salaries from 2019-22.

The latest: It's believed that the Red Sox re-signed Eovaldi on Thursday to be their No. 4 starter behind Chris Sale, David Price and Rick Porcello, but MLB Network analyst John Smoltz thinks Boston would be wise using the hard thrower as a late-inning reliever perhaps if free agent closer Craig Kimbrel isn't re-signed. Why? Smoltz believes Eovaldi, who last summer returned from his second Tommy John surgery, would be less of an injury risk pitching fewer innings over the next four seasons. "If you have a pretty good bullpen and you could put him in a combined role where you know pretty much he's going to pitch the eighth and ninth, or the ninth, I think that sets them up well for their investment to not run the risk of tapping into a position injury," Smoltz said on MLB Tonight. "When you're asking him to go 200 innings-plus or close to 200 innings for four straight years (as a starting pitcher) ... that workload and that (100-mph) velocity all works against him. I think the Red Sox are in such a great spot. I just hope it doesn't bounce around. I hope it's literally kind of used as a 'If we sign Kimbel, this is what you're gonna do. If we don't sign Kimbrel, this is what you're going to do.'"

Paul Goldschmidt, 1B

Club: St. Louis Cardinals.

Age: 31 (32 on Sept. 10, 2019).

Size: 6-3, 225.

Bats: Right.

2018 stats: Arizona Diamondbacks, .290 average, 593 AB, 95 runs, 172 hits, 35 doubles, 5 triples, 33 HR, 83 RBI, 90 BB, 173 K, 7 SB, 4 CS, .922 OPS, 158 games.

Career stats: .297 average, 3,975 AB, 709 runs, 1,182 hits, 267 doubles, 19 triples, 209 HR, 710 RBI, 655 BB, 1,059 K, 124 SB, 32 CS, .930 OPS, 1,092 games in eight seasons with Diamondbacks (2011-18).

Don't Edit

Contract: Made $11 million in 2018, the fifth season of a five-year, $32-million contract that includes a $14.5 million club option or $2 million buyout for 2019. Diamondbacks exercised option on Oct. 29. Eligible for free agency after 2019 season.

The latest: Jim Bowden of The Athletic gave the Cardinals an 'A' and the Diamondbacks a 'C' when grading Wednesday's blockbuster deal in a Thursday blog. A day earlier, the Cardinals landed Goldschmidt, a six-time All-Star who is a year away from free agency, for two former top prospects who have struggled - right-hander starter Luke Weaver and catcher Carson Kelly - plus non-touted minor-league infielder Andy Young and a 2019 competitive balance Round B draft pick. In his post, Bowden wrote, "The deal is a game changer for the Cardinals, who acquired not only a middle-of-the-order bat who plays Gold Glove defense, but arguably the best overall first baseman in baseball, and the best position player to wear a Cardinals uniform since Albert Pujols departed in free agency seven years ago. The most amazing part of the deal is that they didn't have to give up any of their top pitching or position player prospects. ... Granted it's a one-year rental, but with a player as elite as Goldschmidt, in my opinion, the Diamondbacks should have gotten at least one top prospect back. They didn't."

Contract: Will make $13 million in 2019 in last season of five-year, $38.5 million contract that includes a $13.5 million club option or $1 million buyout for 2020 plus a $14 million club option and $1 million buyout for 2021.

The latest: The Indians "are increasingly motivated to move Trevor Bauer or Corey Kluber" after signing fellow frontline starter Carlos Carrasco to an extension on Thursday, Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports reported. The Yankees are a possible landing spot for KIuber, a two-time Cy Young winner. The Indians are seeking a huge return and the Yankees have enough prospects to work a deal even though their farm system has lost a lot of depth since the July 2017 trade deadline. Righty Jonathan Loaisiga, the Yankees' second-best prospect according to MLB Pipeline, is a candidate to go to Cleveland if the clubs work a deal.

Don't Edit

2018 contract: Made $8.5 million in a one-year deal signed with the Orioles on Feb. 6, 2018. Avoided salary arbitration.

The latest: The Twins were on the hunt for a short-term starting second baseman until one of their top prospects become major league history and they potentially landed a good one on Thursday when signing Schoop to a one-year, $7.5-million contract. Schoop is coming off a poor season, but was an All-Star in 2017 when he hit .293 with 32 homers and 105 RBI for Baltimore. "The Twins just hit the jackpot, I think," MLB Network analyst Sean Casey said Thursday on MLB Tonight. "A one-year deal for Schoop for $7.5 million? This kid is still young and he's a stud." Schoop could be out of Minnesota's plans soon because touted middle infielder prospect Nick Gordon, brother of Mariners second baseman/center fielder Dee Gordon, advanced to Triple-A last season.

"I think there's a lot of teams that would love to have either guy," Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins told Sportsnet. Stroman was 13-9 with a 3.09 ERA with 201 innings pitched as a 26-year-old ace in 2017, but he pitched poorly last season and was on the disabled list twice due to shoulder fatigue and a blister.

Career MLB stats: .281 average, 576 AB, 65 runs, 162 hits, 30 doubles, 6 triples, 4 HR, 56 RBI, 24 BB, 80 K, 4 SB, 1 CS, .685 OPS, 229 games in four seasons with Los Angeles Dodgers (2015) and Yankees (2016-18).

2018 contract: 615,500 majors, $280,950 minors.

The latest: Torreyes, who went from the Yankees to the Chicago Cubs to free agent in the last week of November, used free agency to land a one-year, $800,000 contract with the Twins on Thursday. Jon Heyman of Fancred reported the deal becomes guaranteed if Torreyes makes the Twins' Opening Day roster. Torreyes likely will be a spring training battle with 29-year-old switch-hitter Ehire Adrianza for the Twins' utility infielder role. Adrianza, who like Torreyes is a native of Venezuela, hit .251 in 114 games last season with six homers and 39 RBI in 335 at-bats.

Don't Edit

Contract: Made $20 million in 2018 in eighth season of 10-year, $157.75-million contract that includes a $20 million salary for 2019, a $14 million salary for 2020 and a $15 million club option or $4 million buyout for 2021.

The latest: Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins doesn't think Tulowitzki, who hasn't played since July 2017, can be an everyday player next season even though he's fully recovered from surgery to remove bone spurs in both feet. "To call him a part-time player, the honest answer to that is I don't know," Atkins told reporters at a news conference in Toronto. "We're not going to label anything just yet, but I think it's unlikely that he plays an above-average shortstop for us for 140 games." For the time being, Atkins views Lourdes Gurriel Jr. as the Jays' starter at short. As for Tulowitzki, he told MLB.com last September that he doesn't want to change positions. "I'm a shortstop," he said late into the 2018 season. "If someone's better than me, I'll pack my bags and go home." This situation looks like one in which the Jays will be shopping Tulowitzki, and they'll surely have to eat a lot of money to get someone to accept a trade for an aging five-time All-Star who hasn't played for a year and a half.
