Turner agreed Monday with the Phillies on an 11-year, $300 million contract, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports. The deal includes a full no-trade clause.

Turner, who began his big-league career with the Nationals in 2015 before spending the past season and a half with the Dodgers, will return to the National League East after slashing .298/.343/.466 with 21 home runs, 100 RBI and 27 stolen bases in 2022. Heading into his age-30 season, Turner should maintain enough to range to spend at least a few more years as an everyday shortstop. He'll likely hit either first or second in Philadelphia's lineup, providing a significant boost near the top of the order for last season's World Series runners-up.

Reyes signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics on Nov. 14.

After being outrighted off the Brewers' 40-man roster in late October, Reyes elected free agency rather than sticking around in the Milwaukee organization. Though he won't immediately get a spot on Oakland's 40-man roster, Reyes should have the opportunity to compete for a utility role with the big club in spring training. Reyes saw action in six games at the MLB level in 2022, going 4-for-15 at the dish.

Contrary to a prior report, Camargo has not signed a minor-league deal with the Twins, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The Twins listed the wrong "J. Camargo" on their transaction page, when in fact they just re-upped on a minor-league deal with catcher Jair Camargo. Johan Camargo is still a free agent.

Camargo signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Sunday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The switch-hitting journeyman can play all over the infield, and his most-played position in 2022 was shortstop. Camargo, who turns 29 next month, has slashed .208/.265/.319 with seven home runs and zero steals in 311 MLB plate appearances since the start of the 2020 season.

The Red Sox declined to tender Chang a contract for 2023, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Chang has bounced between Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay and Boston just within the past six months, and he's now a free agent. The 27-year-old is a short-side platoon infielder with marginal power and negligible speed.

Luciano was added to the Giants' 40-man roster Tuesday.

Luciano spent most of the 2022 campaign with High-A Eugene, though he also joined Double-A Richmond for their postseason. The 21-year-old had a .263/.339/.459 slash line in 57 games at High-A and could keep advancing in 2023.

Alexander was added to the Diamondbacks' 40-man roster Tuesday.

Alexander raked at Double-A Amarillo with a .927 OPS to earn a late-season promotion to Triple-A Reno, and he's now been added to Arizona's 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 draft. The 23-year-old could make his big-league debut sometime next year.

Martinez was added to Cleveland's 40-man roster Tuesday.

The 20-year-old worked his way up to the Double-A level in 2022, so the Guardians opted to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. Martinez had an .849 OPS with 13 home runs and 12 stolen bases in 101 games between High-A and Double-A last season.

Basabe was added to the Ray's 40-man roster Tuesday.

Basabe posted a .324/.385/.462 slash line between the High-A and Double-A levels last season, and Tampa Bay opted to move him to the 40-man roster in order to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. The 22-year-old could open 2023 at Double-A, but it shouldn't be long before he's up with the Triple-A club.

Barger was added to the Blue Jays' 40-man roster Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Barger vaulted up Toronto's prospect list in 2022 and has now been protected from the upcoming Rule 5 draft. The 23-year-old began last season with High-A Vancouver and worked his way up to Triple-A Buffalo by mid-September. He went 10-for-32 with two home runs during his brief stint at Triple-A and had a .933 OPS for the season.
