  • Cameron Booser RP | CHW

    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.

  • Patrick Weigel RP | WAS

    Rockies' Patrick Weigel: Inks minors deal with Rockies

    The Rockies signed Weigel to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Weigel is coming off a terrific performance in the Dominican Winter League, having posted a 1.19 ERA and 34:5 K:BB over 30.1 innings. The 31-year-old has not pitched in the majors since 2021, having bounced around between the minors and independent ball since then. Weigel is likely ticketed for Triple-A Albuquerque to begin the 2026 season.

  • Nick Sandlin RP | TOR

    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.

  • George Soriano RP | ATL

    Braves' George Soriano: DFA'd by Atlanta

    Atlanta designated Soriano for assignment Monday.

    The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Jose Suarez, who was claimed off waivers. Soriano was a waiver claim of Atlanta himself earlier this month and now could be on the move again. The right-handed reliever has collected a 5.95 ERA and 117:55 K:BB covering 118 innings across parts of three seasons in the big leagues.

  • Craig Kimbrel RP | NYM

    Mets' Craig Kimbrel: Nabs minor-league deal with Mets

    Kimbrel signed a minor-league contract with the Mets that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

    Kimbrel spent time with Atlanta and Houston in 2025, appearing in 14 MLB games and posting a 2.25 ERA, a 1.42 WHIP and a 17:7 KBB across 12 innings. Entering his age-38 season, Kimbrel will get an opportunity with the Mets, but he may need a strong showing during spring training in order to earn a place on the Opening Day roster.

  • Dylan Coleman RP | BAL

    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.

  • Jhonathan Diaz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Jhonathan Diaz: Booted from 40-man roster

    The Mariners designated Diaz for assignment Friday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

    With Cooper Criswell coming over from the Mets in a trade, Diaz will give up his place on the Mariners' 40-man roster. The 29-year-old southpaw made just one appearance with the Mariners near the start of the 2025 regular season, allowing one hit and striking out one batter over 1.1 innings. He spent the rest of the season at Triple-A Tacoma and turned in a 4.15 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 138.2 frames.

  • Mariners' Cooper Criswell: Bound for Seattle

    The Mets traded Criswell to the Mariners on Friday in exchange for cash, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

    The 29-year-old was DFA'd by the Mets on Wednesday following the team's acquisition of Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers, but Criswell will recapture a 40-man spot upon moving to Seattle. He posted a 3.57 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in 17.2 regular-season innings with the Red Sox in 2025 and will compete for a spot in the Mariners' bullpen during spring training.

  • Kaleb Ort RP | LAA

    Yankees' Kaleb Ort: Booted off 40-man roster

    The Yankees designated Ort (elbow) for assignment Friday.

    The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver claim Michael Siani. Ort was a waiver claim himself earlier this month, and because he has the ability to refuse an outright assignment, his stint in the Yankees organization will likely be ending soon. The righty reliever posted a 4.89 ERA and 49:27 K:BB over 46 innings with the Astros in 2025 and missed the final month of the season with elbow inflammation.

  • Reds' Anthony Misiewicz: Gets NRI pact from Reds

    The Reds signed Misiewicz to a minor-league contract Friday that includes an invitation to spring training.

    Misiewicz made five appearances for the Twins this past season, yielding five runs with a 5:4 K:BB over 4.2 frames. The bulk of his year was spent at Triple-A St. Paul, where he held a 3.82 ERA and 30:11 K:BB across 33 innings. Misiewicz will compete for a bullpen job in Cincinnati, but the southpaw is likely ticketed for the Triple-A Louisville bullpen.
