  • Ty Adcock RP | SD

    Padres' Ty Adcock: Gets MLB deal from Padres

    The Padres signed Adcock to a one-year contract Thursday.

    Adcock got into three games with the Mets in 2025 but spent most of the season at Triple-A Syracuse, where he posted a 4.66 ERA and 35:14 K:BB over 36.2 frames. The right-handed reliever does not have minor-league options remaining and has previously been outrighted, so he'll either be part of the Padres' Opening Day bullpen or have a chance to return to the open market.

  • Phillies' Michael Mercado: Back with Phillies on MiLB pact

    The Phillies re-signed Mercado to a minor-league contract Nov. 24.

    Mercado was non-tendered by the Phillies but quickly re-signed to a minor-league pact. The 26-year-old has had a rough go of it at the major-league level thus far, allowing 21 runs and a whopping 10 home runs over 16 innings.

  • Emilio Pagan RP | CIN

    Reds' Emilio Pagan: Back with Reds

    Pagan signed a two-year, $20 million contract with the Reds on Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

    Pagan thrived as the Reds' primary closer this past season, posting a 2.88 ERA and 0.92 WHIP alongside an 81:22 K:BB across 68.2 innings while converting a career-high 32 saves during the regular season. Assuming the Reds don't make another move for a high-leverage reliever, the 31-year-old righty will presumably maintain his hold on ninth-inning duties for Cincinnati.

  • Tommy Henry SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Back with Arizona on NRI deal

    The Diamondbacks re-signed Henry (elbow) to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training Monday.

    Henry was non-tendered by Arizona last month, but the two sides have reunited on a minor-league pact. The left-hander missed much of 2025 due to injury and could be out for all of next season following Tommy John surgery in June. Henry holds a career 5.07 ERA over 37 appearances (32 starts) at the big-league level.

  • Danny Young RP | ATL

    Braves' Danny Young: Inks split contract with Atlanta

    Atlanta signed Young (elbow) to a one-year contract Tuesday.

    It's a split contract for Young, who will miss at least the first half of the 2026 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The left-handed reliever holds a career 4.01 ERA and 78:25 K:BB over 60.2 innings covering parts of four major-league seasons, which includes stints in Atlanta in 2022 and 2023.

  • Devin Williams RP | NYM

    Mets' Devin Williams: Joining Mets on three-year deal

    Williams agreed to a three-year contract with the Mets on Monday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Williams will remain in New York but is headed to Queens following Monday's signing. The 31-year-old had his fair share of struggles with the Yankees during the 2025 campaign, ending the year with four blown saves in 22 chances and ultimately losing his grip on the closer's role. He finished the regular season with a 4.79 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with a 90:25 K:BB across 62.0 frames. Williams will receive a fresh start with the Mets on a deal that will guarantee him more than $50 million, per Jeff Passan of ESPN.com.

  • Sam Hentges RP | SF

    Giants' Sam Hentges: Latches on with Giants

    The Giants signed Hentges (shoulder/knee) to a one-year, $1.4 million contract Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    Non-tendered by the Guardians last week, Hentges missed the entire 2025 season while recovering from left shoulder surgery and also underwent arthroscopic right knee surgery in September. The expectation is that he will be ready for spring training. Hentges could be a weapon for the Giants if he can regain his pre-surgery form, as he held a 2.93 ERA and 155:42 K:BB over 138 regular-season innings from 2022-to-2024 after being moved to a relief role.

  • Tyler Zuber RP | MIA

    Marlins' Tyler Zuber: Returns to Miami on MiLB deal

    The Marlins re-signed Zuber to a minor-league contract Wednesday.

    Zuber got into 10 games between the Mets and Marlins in 2025, yielding 15 runs over 12 frames. The 30-year-old reliever has a career 6.26 ERA at the big-league level but has struck out 73 across 64.2 innings. Zuber is likely to start next season at Triple-A Jacksonville.

  • Joe Jimenez RP | ATL

    Braves' Joe Jimenez: Underwent another knee surgery

    Atlanta president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said last week that Jimenez recently underwent a cleanup procedure on his left knee, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    Jimenez had surgery last November to address cartilage damage in the knee, and he wound up requiring another operation on the same knee following a setback. The reliever missed the entire 2025 season, and Anthopoulos noted that a timetable for Jimenez won't become clearer until late December or January. Jimenez -- who is owed $9 million in 2026 in his final year under contract -- boasts a 2.81 ERA, 30.1 percent strikeout rate and 7.2 percent walk rate in his two regular seasons with Atlanta and should be in line for high-leverage bullpen work in 2026, if healthy.

  • Robert Stock SP | NYM

    Mets' Robert Stock: Latches on with Mets

    Stock signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Tuesday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

    Stock saw major-league action for the first time since 2021 this past season and gave up three earned runs over 2.2 innings with the Red Sox. He was more successful at Triple-A Worcester, finishing the year with a 3.92 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 85 frames. He will most likely begin 2026 at Triple-A Syracuse.
