Rogelio Armenteros is only 26 years old and has played in five major league baseball games. Marc Zuckerman from MASN Washington has the rundown on the signing: "A native of Cuba, Armenteros signed with the Astros in September 2014. In five minor league seasons, he's 35-20 with a 3.45 ERA and 1.246 WHIP, striking out nearly 10 batters per nine innings while walking 3.2. He's currently pitching for Gigantes del Cibao in the Dominican Winter League, where he has allowed two earned runs in 4 2/3 innings."

Yesterday was also the first day of the Winter Meetings. Our friends at Talk Nats.com has a great review of the day of action. "The first day of the Winter Meetings saw some action in trades. The White Sox traded former Nats top prospect Dane Dunning for Lance Lynn. It was Dunning who was part of the trio of players sent to the White Sox in the Adam Eaton trade exactly four years ago to the day." [Click here to read their full rundown of the day]
In Major League Baseball News, the Texas Rangers have a brand new General Manager: Chris Young. Young is considered a rising star in Major League Baseball, and many thought the New York Mets would sign him as their General Manager. Chris Young had been a vice president for Major League Baseball, handling player discipline, overseeing umpires, and serving as the primary liaison between the commissioner's office and baseball field managers. Additionally, Major League Baseball sent a memo to all teams to expect a universal DH in 2021.
According to Ken Rosthenal from the Athletic: "MLB instructed clubs in a memo last week to proceed under the assumption the DH will not be used in the NL this year, though few will complain if the league and union reach agreement to the contrary."
