Terdoslavich was placed on waivers by the Braves on Friday and subsequently claimed by the Orioles.

Terdoslavich was the corresponding move for the Braves to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for the newly-signed Kelly Johnson. It didn't take long for the Orioles to snatch him up, but it's difficult to see him serving in anything more than a bench role with the Braves given the other options the club has at first base and corner outfield. The 27-year-old collected a home run and four RBI over 56 at-bats with the Braves last season, and will look to post a strong enough spring training to earn an Opening Day roster spot.

Solano signed a minor league contract with the Yankees on Friday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

After two relatively successful campaigns with the Marlins, Solano struggled offensively in 2015, and his run with the team has now come to an end. The 28-year-old will now provide depth in the Yankees' system.

Carter signed a one-year deal with the Brewers on Wednesday.

Carter had a disappointing follow-up last season to his 37-homer 2014 campaign, as the right-handed slugger posted a .199 batting average over 460 plate appearances. He'll now get a fresh start with Milwaukee, competing with the likes of Garin Cecchini for reps at first base. He could also be one of the first pinch-hit options off the bench, as Carter was primarily used as a DH during his time in Houston.

Howard (knee) has filed a defamation lawsuit against Al Jazeera network, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Al Jazeera ran a report last month that said Howard and other professional athletes used the performance-enhancing substance Delta 2. Howard denies using Delta 2 or any performance-enhancing substance banned by MLB.

An investigative documentary which will air Sunday on Al Jazeera alleges that Howard (knee) received human growth hormones from a Texas-based pharmacist, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Howard has denied he has used HGH. The claim that Howard and other professional athletes received HGH is based on statements Charlie Sly, a pharmacist who once worked at an anti-aging clinic in Indiana, made and were recorded without his knowledge. Sly has since recanted his story.

Wilkins was claimed off waivers by the Brewers on Wednesday.

The Brewers are the fourth organization to claim Wilkins in the last four months, so a lot could happen before now and Opening Day. At 27 years old, he is hardly a prospect anymore, despite maintaining rookie eligibility. He could compete for a job at first base in spring training if he remains with the Brewers, but he offers very little fantasy upside.

Dixon was traded to the Reds on Wednesday as part of a three-team deal that also included the White Sox, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Jose Peraza and Scott Schebler will also be joining Dixon on the Reds in what was an unexpected three-team deal that was headlined by Cincinnati third baseman Todd Frazier being sent to the White Sox. Frazier clubbed 19 home runs while maintaining a .263/.303/.443 slash line across two minor league levels in 2015. He is a versatile defender with the ability to play second base, third base, and outfield, but he has yet to advance past Double-A in his young career.

Wilkins was claimed off waivers by the Rangers on Monday, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.

It's already the second time this offseason, and the third time since the start of September, that Wilkins has been claimed off waivers, as he was designated for assignment by the Mariners earlier in the month after being with the club for just a week. He slashed a combined .251/.315/.447 at the Triple-A level last season and will likely begin the year back in the minors.

Cabrera agreed to a two-year contract with the Mets on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.

Cabrera will head to New York after spending one season with the Rays. He does not figure to play every day at shortstop for the Mets as long as Ruben Tejada and Wilmer Flores are also on the roster, but he could see some time at other infield positions as well.

Wilkins was designated for assignment on Wednesday, Shannon Drayer of 710 AM ESPN Seattle reports.

Wilkins was claimed at the beginning of December by the Mariners, but with the acquisition of Lind, Wilkins found his spot on the 40-Man roster gone. He spent last season in the Dodgers and Blue Jays organizations, hitting .251 with 79 RBI in 126 games.
