Free-agent closer Greg Holland agreed to sign a one-year, $14 million deal with the St. Louis Cardinals on opening day after resurrecting his career last season following a return from Tommy John surgery, a source familiar with the deal told Yahoo Sports. The 32-year-old Holland, ranked 19th in Yahoo Sports’ Ultimate Free Agent Tracker, led the National League with 41 saves for the Colorado Rockies and put together one of the best first halves in baseball before a dreadful second-half stretch tanked his ERA for the season.

Some exhibition games remain, however, and they’re being played in big league parks. As we mentioned a couple of weeks ago, the Diamondbacks have brought back that weird tradition of decades past, and last night at Chase Field we got to see it in action for the first time.

Bird missed a substantial amount of time during the 2017 season due to an injury on the same right ankle. In the short-term, the Yankees plan to get by at first base with some combination of Neil Walker and/or Tyler Austin. Before getting injured, the 25-year-old had struggled in Grapefruit League play, slashing just .154/.267/.231 with one homer, four RBI and a 16/7 K/BB ratio in 60 plate appearances.
