MLB in brief: Tim Anderson with the Angels? | Martin Maldonado in demand

Tim Anderson to the Angels?

There would be interest in him…potentially at second base.

Jonathan India traded?

The surplus of infield players in Cincinnati, which also cost Joey Votto his job, could ultimately push the young man out of the organization.

Martin Maldonado in demand

Several teams are talking to him.

The Royals and Bobby Witt Jr. talk

A long-term contract is increasingly being considered.

A name to watch

Canadian Damiano Palmegiani, a Blue Jays prospect, was good this fall in the league in Arizona.
