UNDATED (AP) — The Colorado Rockies picked up a little more power on Thursday while giving the Toronto Blue Jays a bit more speed.
 
The Blue Jays have traded outfielder Randal Grichuk and just over $9.7 million to the Rockies for outfielder Raimel Tapia and minor league infielder Adrian Pinto. The 29-year-old Grichuk hit .241 with 22 homers and 81 RBIs in 149 games last season. The 28-year-old Tapia hit .273 with 50 RBIs and 20 stolen bases in 133 games last year.
 
Also around the majors:
 
— Two-time All-Star reliever Andrew Miller has retired at age 36. The left-hander played 16 seasons with seven teams and was the MVP of the 2016 AL Championship Series for Cleveland. Miller had a 4.75 ERA in 40 games last season, his third year with St. Louis.
 
— Right-handed pitcher Zach Davies has agreed to a one-year deal with the Diamondbacks that includes a mutual option for next season. The Diamondbacks hope Davies can have a bounce-back season after a rough 2021 when he was 6-12 with a 5.78 ERA and an NL-leading 75 walks for the Cubs.
 
— Backup catcher Max Stassi has agreed to a three-year, $17.5 million, deal to stay with the Angels, superseding the one-year package the two sides agreed to on Tuesday. He reached new career highs last season with 68 hits, 13 homers, 35 RBIs, 45 runs scored and 28 walks despite missing extensive playing time early in the season after a concussion.
 
— The Mariners have acquired bullpen depth by giving 39-year-old Sergio Romo a one-year, $2 million contract. Romo spent last season with the Athletics, posting a 4.67 ERA and 60 strikeouts in 61 2/3 innings over 66 appearances.
