Laskey agreed to a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Sunday, Aram Leighton of JustBaseball.com reports.

Laskey spent 2025 in the Marlins organization and split his time between the Double-A and Triple-A levels. He received an invitation to big-league spring training but is likely to open 2026 in the minors based on his production last year and the fact that he's yet to make his MLB debut.

Maton signed a two-year contract with the Cubs on Friday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Maton's new deal also includes a club option for 2028. The 32-year-old spent time with the Cardinals and Rangers in 2025, finishing the regular season with a 2.79 ERA and 1.06 WHIP along with an 81:23 K:BB across 61.1 innings. Now with the Cubs, he's sure to continue pitching in high-leverage situations and will presumably be in the mix for saves alongside Daniel Palencia.

Brubaker signed a one-year contract with the Giants on Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Brubaker enjoyed his most successful season in the majors while working primarily as a reliever in 2025, logging a 3.77 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 28.2 innings between the Yankees and Giants. The 32-year-old righty will likely compete for a rotation spot during spring training, though he could also be used as a long reliever again if he misses the cut.

The Reds and Moll avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $875,000 contract, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

He'll have a chance to earn an additional $150,000 in incentives. Moll split his time between the Reds and Triple-A Louisville in 2025, posting a 6.38 ERA and 22:10 K:BB over 18.1 frames with the big club. The lefty reliever does not have minor-league options remaining, so he would have to pass through waivers in order to be sent down.

Atlanta and Suarez avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Friday.

Suarez made seven appearances (one start) with Atlanta in 2025, finishing with a 1.86 ERA and 16:10 K:BB across 19.1 innings of work. The left-hander holds a career 5.30 ERA over parts of seven major-league seasons and does not have minor-league options remaining, so he could open the 2026 campaign as a long reliever.

Ramirez and the Pirates agreed to a one-year, $825,000 contract Thursday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Ramirez had been looking at arbitration if he and Pittsburgh had not been able to agree upon a deal. The Dominican reliever appeared in 24 games with the Pirates in 2025, posting a 5.40 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 45:16 K:BB over 33.1 innings while notching one hold and a 3-3 record.

The Mets are expected to non-tender Young (elbow), Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Young gave up four earned runs over 8.1 innings with the Mets in 2025 before undergoing Tommy John surgery in May, which will likely keep him out through the first half of the 2026 season. The 31-year-old will become a free agent once the transaction is official.

Atlanta signed Thomas (elbow) to a minor-league contract Nov. 6.

A Rule 5 pick of the Brewers last offseason, Thomas made just two appearances for Milwaukee before eventually undergoing internal brace surgery on his left elbow in July. The lefty will be sidelined at least until around midseason next year.

Iglesias signed a one-year, $16 million contract with Atlanta on Wednesday.

After posting a 3.21 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 67.1 innings and recording 29 saves in 2025, Iglesias will officially return for a fifth season in Atlanta. He figures to remain the team's primary closer in 2026, and although he got off to a rough start this year, his reliability shouldn't be much of a concern to fantasy managers, as he turned in a 1.96 ERA and 0.83 WHIP alongside a 51:12 K:BB after the beginning of June.

Atlanta acquired Rolison from the Rockies on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations.

Rolison had been removed from the Rockies' 40-man roster Tuesday and is now headed to a new organization. The left-hander held an ugly 7.02 ERA and 25:20 K:BB over 42.1 innings for Colorado in 2025, but Atlanta believes it can coax better results out of the 2018 first-round pick.
