Four teams — the Padres, Giants, A’s and Braves — had the largest
contingents at Olivera’s showcase, and all are expected to be in the mix to
sign the 29-year-old. Padres GM A.J. Preller was on hand, in fact, and his team
has been the most aggressive on Olivera, Badler writes, adding that San Diego
may ultimately be his most likely landing place. It’s not known at this time
when Olivera will be cleared by Major League Baseball and the U.S. Office of
Foreign Assets Control, but Badler speculates that Olivera will be able to sign
prior to Opening Day based on the fact that he left Cuba all the way back in
September.

Olivera, of course, is more of a plug-and-play option than the other, young
Cuban middle infielders. Baseball America passes on some video of Olivera, who
cuts rather an imposing figure for a second baseman. Badler wrote up Olivera’s
efforts yesterday, noting that the Padres, Giants, Athletics, and Braves had
significant presences in the stands.

Newly-designated White Sox slugger Dayan Viciedo should generate plenty of
interest, Jon Morosi of FOX Sports writes. The American League West offers the
best matches, Morosi argues, with the Mariners, Athletics, and Rangers all
potentially making sense as landing spots.

The Athletics have checked in on free agent outfielder Nolan Reimold,
MASNsports.com’s Roch Kubatko tweets. The Indians and Orioles are also known
to be interested in Reimold, and Dan Duquette said earlier today that the O’s
have extended an offer for Reimold to return to Baltimore.
