    BASEBALL-MLB/ROUNDUP:Baseball-Major League Baseball roundup

    Feb 13 (The Sports Xchange) - New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter and his wife Hannah announced Monday they are expecting their first child, a baby girl.

    The 26-year-old model made the pregnancy announcement in a personal essay published on her husband's The Players' Tribune website.

    The announcement included a photo of the 42-year-old Jeter holding a bouquet of pink balloons.

    The Washington Nationals agreed to a contract with left-handed power hitter Adam Lind, according to multiple media reports.

    The 33-year-old Lind clubbed 20 home runs and had 58 RBIs in 126 games with the Seattle Mariners in 2016. It marked the sixth time in his career that Lind hit at least 20 homers.

    Right-handed reliever Seth Maness, who spent his first four seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, signed a minor league deal with the Kansas City Royal.

    The 28-year-old Maness underwent an operation on his right elbow in August, avoiding Tommy John surgery for an alternative procedure in which his ulnar collateral ligament was repaired rather than replaced. His recovery time was listed as three to six months rather than at least a year for Tommy John surgery. (Editing by Frank Pingue)
