Vet Bryant joining Rockies

-

Veteran slugger Kris Bryant has agreed to a $182 million, seven-year deal to join the Rockies, according to a person familiar with the agreement.

The person confirmed the deal to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because its completion is pending a successful physical. Bryant is headed to his third team in eight months after spending his first six major league seasons with the Cubs, who traded him to San Francisco last July.

BLUE JAYS: All-Star third baseman Matt Chapman was acquired by the from the payroll-shredding Athletics for right-hander Gunnar Hoglund, Toronto’s top pick in the 2021 amateur draft, minor league left-hander Zach Logue, left-handed reliever Kirby Snead, and infielder Kevin Smith.

A five-year veteran and three-time Gold Glove winner, Chapman hit .201 with 27 home runs and 72 RBIs in 151 games for the Athletics last season. He was a first-time All-Star in 2019.

“You see what was happening around here,’’ Chapman said of Oakland. “It’s sad to leave, but it’s happy to go somewhere where it’s going to be an incredible opportunit­y.”

ROYALS: Kansas City signed six-time All-Star pitcher Zack Greinke to a $13 million contract, reuniting the right-hander with the club that drafted him in the first round two decades ago. The team also traded lefthander Mike Minor to the Reds for left-hander Amir Garrett.

BRAVES: Atlanta signed outfielder Eddie Rosario to a two-year contract with $18 million guaranteed. The defending World Series champion Braves added more outfield depth by signing Alex Dickerson to a $1 million, one-year deal.

WHITE SOX: Two-time All-Star Josh Harrison finalized a $5.5 million, one-year contract with Chicago.

CUBS: Chicago and star Japanese outfielder Seiya Suzuki agreed to an $85-million, five-year deal, a person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press.
