Singer was invited to the Royals' big-league spring training camp Monday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

The 18th overall pick in the 2018 draft, Singer made his professional debut last season, posting a 2.85 ERA in 26 starts at the High-A and Double-A levels. He's unlikely to break camp with the team but could be up at some point midseason if his start to the year in Triple-A goes well.

Bundy signed a one-year contract with the Angels on Friday, avoiding arbitration.

Bundy accrued a 4.79 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with a 162:58 K:BB over 161.2 frames in 2019 with the Orioles. After being dealt to Los Angeles in December, he's expected to slot into the middle of the starting rotation.

Montgomery signed a one-year contract with the Yankees on Friday, avoiding arbitration.

Montgomery tossed just four innings in the majors a season ago, allowing three runs while fanning five. He'll enter spring training with the chance to compete for a role in the starting rotation.

Clevinger signed a one-year, $4.1 million contract with the Indians on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

With Clevinger locked down for the next year, the Indians have now come to terms with all of their arbitration-eligible players. The right-hander turned in a stellar 2019 campaign, posting a 2.71 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with a 169:37 K:BB over 126 frames and will slot in as Cleveland's ace in 2020.

Paxton and the Yankees agreed to a one-year, $12.5 million deal Friday, avoiding arbitration, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Paxton will get a raise of just shy of $4 million. In 29 starts for the Yankees last season, he posted a 3.82 ERA, a near match for his 28 starts and 3.76 ERA from 2018.

Boyd and the Tigers avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $5.3 million deal Friday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Boyd will more than double his $2.6 million salary from the 2019 season. The lefty saw his strikeout rate jump from 22.4 percent to 30.2 percent in his fifth big-league season, though his ERA rose slightly from 4.39 to 4.56.

Rodon (elbow) agreed to a one-year, $4.45 million deal with the White Sox on Friday, avoiding arbitration, freelance baseball writer Robert Murray reports.

Rodon made just seven starts last season before undergoing Tommy John surgery in May. The procedure will keep him out for a large portion of the upcoming season.

Bassitt agreed to a one-year, $2.25 million deal with the A's on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

This is Bassitt's first of three years as an arbitration-eligible player. He will compete for a rotation spot in camp, but he may end up working as a swing man and long reliever for most of the year.

Heaney and the Angels agreed to a one-year, $4.3 million deal Friday, avoiding arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Elbow and shoulder injuries limited Heaney to 18 starts last season. He wasn't particularly effective when healthy, posting a 4.91 ERA, though he did manage a career-best 28.9 percent strikeout rate.

Glasnow and the Rays agreed to a one-year, $2,050,000 contract Friday, avoiding arbitration, freelance baseball writer Robert Murray reports.

Glasnow showed his promise in his first full season with the Rays in 2019, posting a 1.78 ERA and a 33.0 percent strikeout rate in 12 starts. A forearm strain cost him more than half his season, adding plenty of injury risk heading into the 2020 campaign, though he came back from it in September and looked as good as ever, striking out 21 batters while allowing just two runs in 12.1 innings of work.
