With Spring Training underway, here are three things well be keeping an eye on around the baseball world headed into the weekend: 1. Bohm, Phillies await arbitration results: Just two arbitration cases have yet to reach their conclusion: that of Phillies third baseman , and that of Marlins southpaw . According to a report from , Bohm had his hearing yesterday with a verdict expected sometime today. Bohm requested a $4MM salary for the 2024 campaign while the Phillies countered with a $3.4MMM figure. Both figures come in below for Bohm, which landed at $4.3MM. Bohm appeared in 145 games for Philadelphia last year, slashing an above-average .274/.327/.437 while splitting time between first and third base. With set to take over first on a permanent basis this year, Bohm figures to get everyday reps at the hot corner in 2024. 2. Fred Mcgriff Jersey Will Orioles look to add more pitching? Yesterday was a tough day for the Orioles pitching staff, as the club announced that right-hander is suffering from a UCL sprain and will . To make matters worse, left-hander is a month behind schedule entering camp. The clubs rotation now figures to be led by a duo of and entering the season, with , , and rounding out the group. Means would likely replace Irvin or Wells whenever hes cleared to return to the roster. Solid as that group is, its easy to see how Baltimore could benefit from the addition of another arm, particularly given the ominous nature of Bradishs injury. If the club looks to make an addition this spring, has been subject to trade rumors all throughout the winter, while Blake Snell, Jordan Montgomery, , Hyun Jin Ryuand linger on the open market. 3. Merrifield signing on the horizon? has indicated that veteran second baseman is likely to sign on with a new club this weekend as he fields interest from five teams. A three-time All Star, the 35-year-old sports a career .284/.330/.420 line and has generally augmented that production with strong stolen base totals, the versatility to play both the infield and the outfield, and relatively low strikeout rates. Its unknown which teams are interested in the veterans services at this time, though the Pirates could be a strong speculative fit as a club that had reported interest in adding a second baseman earlier this winter but has yet to do so. The Padres could also make sense as a fit for Merrifield given their glaring need for outfielders and the that incumbent second baseman could still be moved at some point. Gene Tenace Jersey
