Brewers Open To Trading Outfield Depth

The Milwaukee Brewers have discussed the possibility of trading outfielders Isaac Collins and Blake Perkins, according to Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic. Outfielder Garrett Mitchell could also be included in those talks. After signing Akil Baddoo earlier this week, the Brewers suddenly have a surplus of outfield options. Collins is coming off […]


David Dahl Announces Retirement

Outfielder David Dahl announced his retirement earlier this week on his X account, bringing an end to his seven-year major-league career. Once a top-100 prospect, Dahl showed flashes of his talent but was unable to stay healthy or consistent over a full season. The 31-year-old spent the bulk of his career with the Colorado Rockies, […]


Tyler Alexander, Texas Rangers Agree on One-Year Deal

The Texas Rangers have signed free-agent reliever Tyler Alexander to a one-year deal on Friday.

The 31-year-old left-hander owns a career 4.63 ERA and is expected to […]

Free-agent infielder Jorge Polanco has agreed to a two-year, $40 million deal with the New York Mets. According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, Polanco is expected to see time at first base and designated hitter in Queens. After losing Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz to free agency and trading fan favorite Brandon Nimmo, the Mets […]


Alexis Diaz Agrees to One-Year Deal with the Rangers

Free-agent reliever Alexis Diaz has agreed to a one-year deal with the Texas Rangers. Díaz endured a turbulent 2025 season, beginning the year on the injured list with a hamstring issue and quickly losing his closing role with the Cincinnati Reds after surrendering three home runs in a single outing during his mid-April debut. The […]


Danny Jansen, Rangers Agree On Two-Year Deal

Free-agent catcher Danny Jansen has agreed to a two-year, $14.5 million contract with the Texas Rangers. In 2025, Jansen slashed .215/.321/.399 with 14 home runs, 36 RBI, and 38 runs scored, good for a 103 wRC+ across 337 plate appearances. The 30-year-old also posted a career-high 25.5% strikeout rate, offset by a solid 12.5% walk […]


Will The Dodgers Trade Tyler Glasnow?

Right-hander Tyler Glasnow has "come up in conversations" between the Los Angeles Dodgers and other teams, according to Alden Gonzalez of ESPN. Gonzalez added that any potential trade remains a "long shot," though the Dodgers would not be opposed to moving Glasnow. The 6-foot-8 righty is owed $30 million in both 2026 and 2027, with […]


Brewers Sign Greg Jones to Minor-League Deal

The Milwaukee Brewers have signed infielder/outfielder Greg Jones to a minor-league deal with an invite to spring training, according to Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Akil Baddoo Agrees to One-Year Deal With Brewers

Free-agent outfielder Akil Baddoo has agreed to a one-year deal with the Milwaukee Brewers, according to Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Pete Alonso Meets With Cubs and Red Sox at Winter Meetings

The Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox met with first baseman Pete Alonso at the Winter Meetings before he ultimately signed his five-year deal with the Baltimore Orioles, according to Jon Heyman of The New York Post.

Colin Holderman, Guardians Agree on One-Year Deal

Free-agent right-hander Colin Holderman has agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million deal with the Cleveland Guardians, according to Robert Murray of FanSided. Holderman, 30, has a career 4.13 ERA with a 22.2% strikeout rate and a 1.40 WHIP across 161 1/3 innings. He endured a difficult 2025 season with the Pittsburgh Pirates, posting a career-worst […]


Lane Thomas Agrees to One-Year Deal With Royals

Free-agent outfielder Lane Thomas has agreed to a one-year, $5.25 million deal with the Kansas City Royals, with an additional $1 million available through incentives, according to Will Sammon of The Athletic.

Gregory Soto Agrees to One-Year Deal With Pirates

The Pittsburgh Pirates and left-handed reliever Gregory Soto have agreed to a one-year, $7.75 million deal, sources tell Jorge Castillo of ESPN.

Red Sox Out on Bo Bichette For Now

The Boston Red Sox are no longer pursuing free-agent shortstop Bo Bichette unless his market changes, according to Julian McWilliams of CBS Sports. The 27-year-old is projected to command a five-year, $130 million contract this offseason. In 2025, he slashed .311/.357/.483 with 18 home runs, 84 RBI, 78 runs, four stolen bases, and a 134 […]


Edward Cabrera Drawing Interest from Orioles

The Miami Marlins are in discussions with the Baltimore Orioles about a possible trade involving right-hander Edward Cabrera, according to Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic. The 27-year-old remains under club control for three more years and is projected to earn $3.7 million in arbitration for 2026. After dealing Grayson Rodriguez to the […]


Marcelo Mayer Likely to be Boston’s Starting 3B in 2026

The Boston Red Sox would be comfortable with Marcelo Mayer as their starting third baseman on Opening Day. The 22-year-old endured a rough rookie season, slashing .228/.272/.402 with four home runs, 10 RBI, 20 runs, and no steals while posting an 80 wRC+. He also struck out at a 30.1% clip across 136 plate appearances. […]


Did the Price for Pete Alonso Just Go Up?

The price for free-agent first baseman Pete Alonso has "likely" risen in light of Kyle Schwarber's five-year, $150 million contract, per Chris Cotillo and Sean McAdam of MassLive.com. Alonso is now expected to seek a six- or seven-year deal, though it's unclear whether the Boston Red Sox would commit to a contract that would carry […]


Eury Perez and the Marlins Inching Closer to a Long-Term Deal

The Miami Marlins and Eury Perez are reportedly getting closer to agreeing on a five or six-year extension, according to Craig Mish of the SportsGrid. Earlier this spring, the Marlins opened contract-extension talks with Pérez, but the two sides were initially about $15 million apart. That gap now appears to be resolved. The 22-year-old flashed […]


Will the Marlins Extend Jakob Marsee?

There is mutual interest in a potential extension for Jakob Marsee and the Miami Marlins, but no formal offer has been made, according to Isaac Azout from Fish On First. The 24-year-old burst onto the scene last year, slashing .292/.363/.478 with five home runs, 33 RBI, 28 runs, 14 stolen bases, and a 133 wRC+ […]


Royals' Noah Cameron, Ryan Bergert, and Stephen Kolek Drawing Interest

The Kansas City Royals' starting pitchers Noah Cameron, Ryan Bergert, and Stephen Kolek are drawing interest from several teams, according to Anne Rogers of MLB.com. The St. Louis Cardinals have specifically checked in on Cameron, who posted a 2.99 ERA (4.33 SIERA) with a 12.8 K-BB% across 138 1/3 innings last season. While Rogers did […]


Red Sox More Likely to Land Ketel Marte?

The Boston Red Sox have a stronger chance than the Toronto Blue Jays to acquire Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte, largely because Boston has more MLB-ready starting pitching. The 32-year-old is owed $102.5 million over the next six seasons and is coming off a year where he slashed .283/.376/.517 with 28 home runs and […]


Michael Soroka, Diamondbacks Agree on One-Year Deal

Free-agent right-hander Michael Soroka has agreed to a one-year deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks, pending a physical, sources tell Jesse Rogers and Jeff Passan of ESPN.

The Seattle Mariners acquired left-handed reliever Jose A. Ferrer from the Washington Nationals in exchange for catching prospect Harry Ford. The 25-year-old has thrown 142 1/3 career innings with a 4.36 ERA (3.24 SIERA), 121 strikeouts, and a 1.26 WHIP. In 2025, he abandoned his four-seam fastball and posted a career-best 21.9% strikeout rate alongside […]


Harry Ford Traded to the Nationals

The Washington Nationals acquired catching prospect Harry Ford by trading away left-handed reliever Jose A. Ferrer to the Seattle Mariners. The 22-year-old is an MLB Pipeline top-50 prospect who slashed .283/.408/.460 with 16 home runs, 68 runs, 74 RBI, seven steals, and a 125 wRC+ in 458 plate appearances at AAA last year. The Mariners […]


Rangers Plan to Fill Second Base Vacancy Internally

The Texas Rangers traded away their veteran second baseman Marcus Semien this offseason, leaving a vacancy at the keystone. According to Jeff Wilson of DLLS Sports, the Rangers plan to fill that void internally. The 28-year-old Josh Smith appears to be the most logical replacement, but there are other candidates on the 40-man roster, such […]


Blue Jays Outright Yariel Rodriguez Off 40-Man Roster

The Toronto Blue Jays have outrighted right-hander Yariel Rodriguez off the 40-man roster on Saturday. In 2024, Rodriguez started 21 games for the Jays, pitching to a 4.47 ERA (4.46 SIERA) with 85 strikeouts and a 1.32 WHIP in 86 ⅔ innings. Last year, the 28-year-old made only one start but still delivered a solid […]


Kazuma Okamoto Drawing Interest from the Blue Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays join the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Boston Red Sox in showing interest in the six-time NPB All-Star third baseman Kazuma Okamoto, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Okamoto has primarily played third base in his time with the Yomiuri Giants but he can also play first base and […]


Cody Bellinger Drawing Interest From the Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies have interest in free-agent outfielder Cody Bellinger, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. Although the Phillies' top priority is re-signing Kyle Schwarber, Bellinger appears to be their best fallback option if they can't reach a deal. Other teams such as the Yankees, Mets, Angels, Dodgers, and Blue Jays have also shown interest […]


Will the Nationals Trade MacKenzie Gore?

There is a perception in a couple of front offices that the Washington Nationals plan to trade left-hander MacKenzie Gore, according to Buster Olney of ESPN. The 26-year-old got off to a hot start in 2025, posting a 3.02 ERA with 138 strikeouts in 110 1/3 innings before the All-Star break. After the break, however, […]


Zac Gallen, Cubs Not Close to Finalizing Deal

Free-agent right-hander Zac Gallen and the Chicago Cubs do not currently have a deal in place and are not close to finalizing one, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. Despite Bob Nightengale's reports, Gallen is still on the market. Gallen struggled last season to a career-high 4.83 ERA (4.24 SIERA) with a career-low 21.5 K-BB% across […]
