Lookout Linkage, 12/31/15

Good morning everyone and welcome to the last day of 2015! I hope everyone has an excellent New Year. Before that arrives though, here's some light reading as 2015 draws to a close:

• Cuban pitcher Yaisel Sierra has been granted free agency.
• The Yankees pulled off a bold move, acquiring closer Aroldis Chapman.
• The White Sox and Orioles appear to be the current frontrunners for Yoenis Cespedes.
• The Nationals have agreed to a one-year deal with infielder Stephen Drew.
• In an effort to have every left-handed starter in baseball, the Dodgers have signed Scott Kazmir to a three-year contract.
• Bobby Dews, a longtime coach for the Braves, sadly passed away recently.
