  • Royals' Eli Morgan: Gets look from KC

    Morgan signed a minor-league contract, which includes an invitation to spring training, with the Royals on Thursday.

    Morgan had a few strong seasons in Cleveland, but struggled with both injuries and his performance as a member of the Cubs in 2025. If he regains his past form, he could have a path to a spot in the Royals' bullpen to begin the new campaign.

  • Angels' Jayvien Sandridge: Shipped to Anaheim

    The Yankees traded Sandridge to the Angels on Thursday in exchange for cash.

    Sandridge was DFA'd by the Yankees on Tuesday, but his move to the Angels will allow him to reclaim a 40-man roster spot. The 26-year-old was uninspiring during his MLB debut in July, giving up two earned runs in just two-thirds of an inning. He finished with a 4.55 ERA and 1.47 WHIP through 31.2 frames at Triple-A, however, and he could be used more frequently in the big leagues by an Angels squad that doesn't boast much bullpen depth. Osvaldo Bido was DFA'd in a corresponding move.

  • Jhonathan Diaz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Jhonathan Diaz: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The Mariners outrighted Diaz to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

    Diaz was removed from the Mariners' 40-man roster last week but will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The left-hander has collected a 4.66 ERA and 33:27 K:BB over 46.1 frames covering parts of five seasons at the major-league level.

  • Kaleb Ort RP | LAA

    Angels' Kaleb Ort: Claimed by Angels

    The Angels claimed Ort (elbow) off waivers from the Yankees on Wednesday.

    After posting a 2.55 ERA and 26:4 K:BB over 24.2 regular-season innings in 2024, Ort regressed to a 4.89 ERA and 49:27 K:BB over 46 innings with the Astros in 2025. He also missed the final month of this past season with elbow inflammation, and it's unclear whether he'll be full-go for the start of spring training. Ort is out of minor-league options.

  • Angel Chivilli RP | NYY

    Yankees' Angel Chivilli: Sent to Yankees

    The Yankees acquired Chivilli from the Rockies on Wednesday in exchange for T.J. Rumfield, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

    Chivilli has managed just a 6.18 ERA and 71:33 K:BB over 90.1 innings covering two major-league seasons. However, the 23-year-old ranked in the 88th percentile in fastball velocity, the 84th percentile in groundball rate and had whiff rates exceeding 40 percent with both his changeup and slider. There could be some untapped potential for Chivilli as he gets out of Colorado and into the Yankees' pitching development.

  • Jackson Kowar RP | BAL

    Mariners' Jackson Kowar: Removed from 40-man

    The Mariners designated Kowar (shoulder) for assignment Tuesday.

    The 29-year-old righty will give up his place on Seattle's 40-man roster for Jhonny Pereda, who was acquired from the Twins on Tuesday. Kowar made 15 regular-season appearances for the Mariners in 2025 and finished the year with a 4.24 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over 17 frames before a right shoulder impingement ended his season in mid-August.

  • Dominic Hamel RP | NYY

    Yankees' Dom Hamel: Goes to Yankees via waiver claim

    The Yankees claimed Hamel off waivers from the Rangers on Tuesday.

    Hamel made one appearance for the Mets in 2025 and spent the rest of the year at Triple-A Syracuse, posting a 5.32 ERA and 75:22 K:BB over 67.2 innings. The 26-year-old will compete for a spot in the Yankees' bullpen but does have minor-league options remaining.

  • Rays' Cam Booser: Latches on with Rays

    The Rays signed Booser to a minor-league contract Monday.

    Booser was non-tendered by the White Sox earlier this offseason after finishing with a 5.52 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 35:19 K:BB over 31 innings during the 2025 campaign. The Rays will retain control of the lefty reliever through the 2030 season.

  • Nick Sandlin RP | LAA

    Angels' Nick Sandlin: Inks NRI deal with Angels

    The Angels signed Sandlin (elbow) to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Sandlin was limited to only 19 appearances in 2025 for the Blue Jays due to elbow trouble, with the last of those outings coming before the All-Star break. It's unclear whether he will have restrictions in spring training, but Sandlin boasts a career 3.19 ERA and 27.3 percent strikeout rate, so he'll have a good shot to make the Opening Day roster, if healthy.

  • Dylan Coleman RP | NYY

    Yankees' Dylan Coleman: Signs with Yankees

    Coleman signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Jan. 17.

    Coleman made 11 appearances in the Orioles' minor-league system last season, posting a 4.91 ERA and 1.84 WHIP over 14.2 innings between Double-A and Triple-A before being released in mid-May. He'll get a chance to bounce back with the Yankees but doesn't project as anything more than organizational depth.
