  • Payton Eeles 2B | BAL

    Orioles' Payton Eeles: Traded to Baltimore

    The Orioles acquired Eeles from the Twins on Friday in exchange for Alex Jackson, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Eeles slashed .253/.379/.321 with four homers and 21 stolen bases over 86 contests at Triple-A St. Paul in 2025. The 5-foot-5 utility player is capable of handling most positions, giving the Orioles some versatile depth.

  • Rays' Raynel Delgado: Signs with Rays

    Delgado signed a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training with the Rays on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Delgado spent the entire 2025 season with the Brewers' Triple-A affiliate, slashing .281/.363/.378 with 53 RBI, 58 runs scored and 40 stolen bases across 474 plate appearances. The 25-year-old infielder has yet to make his big-league debut but will get a chance to compete for a roster spot during spring training.

  • Ramon Urias 2B | STL

    Astros' Ramon Urias: Booted off 40-man roster

    The Astros designated Urias for assignment Tuesday.

    The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Miguel Ullola. Urias is projected to make more than $4 million in his final year of arbitration eligibility, which the Astros felt was too much. The 31-year-old is a career .257/.321/.403 hitter and capable defender at second and third base, so he shouldn't have difficult landing a major-league contract this winter, assuming he clears waivers and becomes a free agent.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Back with Tigers after taking QO

    Torres (groin) accepted the Tigers' one-year, $22.025 million qualifying offer Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

    Torres decided against testing out the free-agent market, instead choosing to take a sizable raise after he made $15 million in 2025. The 29-year-old slashed .256/.358/.387 with 16 home runs, 79 runs and 74 RBI during the 2025 regular season, though he struggled in the second half while playing through a sports hernia. Torres had hernia surgery in October and is expected to be ready in time for spring training.

  • Tristan Gray SS | MIN

    Red Sox's Tristan Gray: Traded to Red Sox

    The Red Sox acquired Gray from the Rays in exchange for Luis Guerrero on Tuesday.

    Gray has managed a .207/.264/.369 batting line over parts of three big-league seasons. He can handle all four infield positions and will join Boston's 40-man roster.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Undergoes minor procedure

    Altuve underwent a procedure to remove fluid between the fourth and fifth toes on his right foot Monday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Altuve played through the issue for the final few weeks of the regular season after suffering the injury Sept. 13 against Atlanta. McTaggart described the procedure as a minor skin aspiration, and the expectation is that the 35-year-old will be ready for the start of spring training.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Not engaged in extension talks

    Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Wednesday that he has yet to discuss a contract extension with Chisholm and his representation, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Cashman did note he is open to having "a legitimate conversation about value" with Chisholm, who is currently slated to reach free agency following the 2026 season. Chisholm, who turns 28 in February, has said previously that he wants to remain with the Yankees over the long haul. The second baseman put up the fourth 30-30 season in franchise history in 2025, slashing .242/.332/.481 across 130 regular-season contests.

  • Royals' Connor Kaiser: Lands with Royals

    Kaiser signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Saturday.

    Kaiser entered free agency after being outrighted by the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, and it didn't take long for him to land elsewhere. The 28-year-old finished the Triple-A season with a .236/.345/.406 slash line over 273 plate appearances, and he'll most likely report to Triple-A Omaha to begin the 2026 campaign.

  • Will Wilson SS | SEA

    Guardians' Will Wilson: Booted from 40-man roster

    Wilson was outrighted to Triple-A Columbus by the Guardians and elected free agency Thursday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Wilson made his big-league debut and picked up 91 plate appearances with Cleveland in 2025 before finishing the campaign with Columbus. He had only a .511 OPS for the Guardians and will now look for another opportunity around the league.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Rays pick up $11.5 million option

    The Rays exercised Lowe's $11.5 million option for 2026 on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Lowe will stay put after he slashed .256/.307/.477 with 31 home runs and 83 RBI this season for the Rays. The 31-year-old will be entering his walk year in 2026, so he will be a trade candidate if the Rays are not in contention when the deadline arrives.
