The Mariners and Haggerty avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $900,000 contract Thursday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

Haggerty was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter. The utility player slashed .253/.364/.341 with one home run and 10 stolen bases over 52 games for the Mariners in 2023. Haggerty boasts a career .844 OPS versus lefties and figures to get more starts against southpaws in 2024.

Remillard cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

He is no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization. Remillard, who turns 30 next month, slashed .252/.295/.320 over 54 games for the White Sox in 2023 while seeing time at five different positions.

Guillorme signed a one-year, $1.1 million contract with Atlanta on Friday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Guillorme was non-tendered by the Mets earlier in the offseason, and he'll stay put in the NL East. The 29-year-old slashed .224/.288/.327 across 120 plate appearances last season, and he'll add depth behind Atlanta's star-studded infield.

The White Sox designated Remillard for assignment Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Remillard was pushed off the Sox's 40-man roster in order to make room for Martin Maldonado, whose signing became official Friday. Remillard maintained a respectable .252 batting average through 147 at-bats last season, though his .615 OPS ranked well below the major-league average.

The Rays acquired Caballero from the Mariners on Friday in exchange for Luke Raley, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Caballero will be in the mix to start at shortstop if Taylor Walls is still recovering from hip surgery and the Rays decide Junior Caminero needs more time in the minors. Caballero can also play second base and is under team control through 2029, offering Tampa Bay the flexibility it covets. He slashed .221/.343/.320 with four homers and 26 stolen bases over 104 contests for the Mariners in 2023.

The Rockies sent Trejo outright to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Trejo's move to Triple-A and off the 40-man roster comes as a result of Dakota Hudson signing with the Rockies on Friday. Trejo slashed .232/.288/.343 with 26 RBI across 227 plate appearances last season. However, he has historically performed significantly better in Triple-A, and he could still return to Colorado if he gets off to another hot start in the minors.

Edman underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right wrist in October, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak made the revelation Thursday, adding that he expects Edman to be ready to go at the start of spring training. The super utility player missed three weeks in July with tendon inflammation in the wrist and opted for surgery after the season when the pain and stiffness lingered. Edman is currently projected to be St. Louis' everyday center fielder in 2024.

Mauricio underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ACL in his right knee.

Mauricio suffered the injury last month while playing in the Dominican Winter League. Per the Mets, a typical timeline for a return to game action from this procedure is 8-to-12 months, which would indicate the young infielder could be out until September even in a best-case scenario. Mauricio had been slated to compete for the third base job with the Mets, but the bulk of those duties now figure to fall to Brett Baty.

Mauricio is slated to undergo surgery to repair a torn right ACL shortly after New Year's Day, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Mauricio suffered the injury Dec. 10 while playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic. The Mets have not revealed a potential timetable for the young infielder's return to action, but it seems likely that he'll be out until sometime after the All-Star break. With Mauricio sidelined, Brett Baty is the favorite to see the lion's share of starts at third base for the Mets.

Mondou signed a minor-league contract with San Diego on Dec. 8.

Mondou spent most of last season with the White Sox's Triple-A affiliate and slashed .270/.379/.434 with 13 home runs and 61 RBI. The 28-year-old infielder made his major-league debut with the A's in 2022, appearing in just one game before being sent back to the minors, and he figures to continue operating in an organizational depth role in 2024.
