Arismendy Alcantara: Headed overseas
Arismendy Alcantara signed with the Nippon-Ham Fighters on Friday, Sung Min Kim of The Athletic reports.Alcantara has not logged a plate appearance in the majors since 2017, though he's spent time in the minors as a member of the Mets, Angels and Giants organizations since. He's managed only a 49 wRC+ across 459 plate appearances at the big-league level, making it likely that he wouldn't have progressed past serving as organizational depth for any MLB club. On the other hand, he should have a better chance to serve a significant role with the Fighters in 2022.

Angels' Arismendy Alcantara: Could make taxi squad
Arismendy Alcantara could provide depth as a member of the Los Angeles Angels' taxi squad if the 2020 season is played, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.Despite a strong showing in Cactus League play, Alcantara was not expected to break camp with the big-league club before spring training was suspended. However, under a proposed plan by MLB, teams may be permitted to carry 20 players who can be shuttled back and forth on the roster as part of a taxi squad. Alcantara appears to be a good option for such a role given his big-league experience and positional versatility.
