Free-agent pitcher Miguel Gonzalez reportedly agreed to a minor league deal with the Chicago White Sox on Sunday, per MLB.com's Scott Merkin and the Chicago Sun-Times' Daryl Van Schouwen.

The Tampa Bay Rays have released first baseman James Loney just ahead of their regular-season opener on Sunday, according to Bill Chastain of MLB.com.

The Tampa Bay Rays host the Toronto Blue Jays and their high-powered offense in the second game of this Opening Day Sunday.

The Blue Jays averaged 5.5 runs per game and piled up 127 more runs than any other team last season, and there's no reason to think things will be any different in 2016.

Meanwhile, the Rays have had a busy offseason retooling their offense after finishing 25th in the majors and second-to-last in the AL in scoring.

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Jordan Walden was diagnosed with a Grade 2 lat strain on Sunday.

It's finally here!

After five long, cold months without baseball, the 2016 MLB season has officially arrived, with the St. Louis Cardinals taking on the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first of three games on this wonderful Sunday.

The Cardinals are fresh off of a 100-win season and an NL Central title, while the Pirates won 98 games and found themselves in the Wild Card Game for a third consecutive season.

Opening Day. WrestleMania 32.

With both events happening in the span of two days, Baltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones might be as hyped as he's ever been. After all, he is "the heavyweight champion of Major League Baseball."

The Orioles don't play Sunday, which gives Jones the opportunity to watch WrestleMania 32. That'll be the perfect way to wrap up the offseason ahead of Baltimore's first game Monday, which is at home against the Minnesota Twins.

In a unique twist, the 2016 MLB season will kick off Sunday with a tripleheader of games to be televised on the ESPN family of networks throughout the day.

The 2016 Major League Baseball season will mark the 20th and final campaign of Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz's storied career.

Opening Day is just about here, and players around the league are preparing for the grind of a 162-game season. Of course, it wouldn't be much of a surprise if the 40-year-old has already spent some time thinking about what he'll do after baseball.

Who's ready for baseball that actually counts?

Yes, it's finally here. Sunday is the day the 2016 Major League Baseball season begins, and not just with one game to whet everyone's appetite for Opening Day proper.

There are three games on tap. The St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates will kick things off, followed by the Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays. The nightcap is a World Series rematch between the New York Mets and Kansas City Royals.
