Suter signed a one-year, $2.25 million contract with the Reds on Friday.

The deal includes a $3 million club option for 2026. Suter's previous contract included a $3.5 million club option for 2025, which the Reds bought out for $250,000 before agreeing to terms on his latest deal. The 35-year-old southpaw was an effective middle reliever for the Reds in 2024, putting up a 3.15 ERA and 1.14 WHIP across 65.2 innings.

The Reds outrighted Antone (elbow) to Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

He's not on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization. Antone has undergone multiple elbow surgeries, including one in April to repair UCL and flexor tears. It's not clear when he might be ready to pitch again.

Pagan has an $8 million option for the 2025 season that he's expected to exercise this offseason, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Pagan missed three months of the season with a lat injury, but returned to action Aug. 10 and finished the campaign healthy. He wasn't as effective as usual over his 38 innings in 2024 (4.50 ERA, 1.34 WHIP), and given that he would be unlikely to receive a contract exceeding $8 million on the open market, it makes sense for him to run it back with Cincinnati for another season.

Covey signed a one-year, major-league contract with the Mets on Thursday.

Covey spent the first four months of last season working his way back from a shoulder injury he suffered in spring training with the Phillies. After beginning his rehab assignment in late July, he turned in a 2.66 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 20.1 innings split between three different minor-league affiliates. He was unable to make an appearance in the majors last year, but he'll immediately get a chance to contribute to the Mets' bullpen in 2025, likely as a middle reliever.

Hudson allowed a pivotal grand slam to Anthony Volpe to take the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday in Game 4 of the World Series.

After Ben Casparius gave the Dodgers two innings of one-run ball, manager Dave Roberts wanted to avoid having him go through the top of the Yankees' order again and turned to Hudson, who didn't have it Tuesday. After Hudson's inning, the Dodgers avoided using their remaining primary relievers in order to have them all be available for Wednesday's Game 5.

The Mets signed Devenski to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Devenski, who turns 34 next month, held a 6.75 ERA and 24:14 K:BB over 26.2 innings for the Rays this season before finishing the year in the minors with the Mariners. He will compete for a bullpen job in spring training.

The Reds designated Leibrandt for assignment Monday.

It's a procedural move designed to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Leibrandt had been set to become a free agent following the World Series.

Henriquez is not on the Dodgers' World Series roster, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

The Dodgers have gotten Alex Vesia (ribs) and Brusdar Graterol (shoulder) back and Henriquez is one of the roster casualties. He has allowed four runs over five relief innings this postseason.

Graterol (shoulder) was added to the Dodgers' World Series roster Friday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Graterol has been out since the final week of the regular season due to right shoulder inflammation, but he's been throwing recently and showed enough that the Dodgers felt comfortable including him on their roster for the Fall Classic. The hard thrower is capable of handling high-leverage innings and could be needed for them with Evan Phillips (arm) out of commission.

Vesia (ribs) was added to the Dodgers' World Series roster Friday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Vesia was left off the NLCS roster because of a rib cage injury, but he threw a successful simulated game Wednesday which convinced the Dodgers he was healthy enough to return. The left-hander made three scoreless relief appearances during the NLDS.
