  • Matt Strahm RP | KC

    Matt Strahm: Parts ways with Friars

    Strahm (knee) was non-tendered by the Padres on Tuesday.

    Strahm appeared in only nine games between the majors in minors last season, and San Diego decided not to tender him a contract for 2022. He missed the final six weeks of the campaign with right knee inflammation, and it's unclear where he stands in his recovery.

  • Trey Wingenter RP | CHC

    Trey Wingenter: Non-tendered by San Diego

    Wingenter (back) was non-tendered by the Padres on Tuesday.

    Wingenter underwent back surgery in September, and the Friars opted not to tender him a contract for 2022. The 27-year-old was returning from Tommy John surgery in July 2020 but was sidelined by a back issue after making two rehab appearances in rookie ball.

  • Joe Palumbo RP | TEX

    Joe Palumbo: Let go by Giants

    Palumbo (undisclosed) was non-tendered by the Giants on Tuesday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Palumbo was limited to 6.2 minor-league innings last season while battling a back injury earlier in the year and an unspecified issue later on. He'll now enter free agency as a bit of a question mark.

  • Andres Munoz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Andres Munoz: Inks four-year deal with Seattle

    Munoz agreed to a four-year, $7.5 million contract with the Mariners on Tuesday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    The deal will buy out all of Munoz's arbitration years and also includes multiple club options. The 22-year-old righty missed all but the final weekend of the 2021 campaign while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he showcased himself well in his first taste of big-league action in 2019 with a 3.91 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 30:11 K:BB over 23 innings.

  • Trevor Megill RP | MIL

    Trevor Megill: Non-tendered by Twins

    Megill was non-tendered by the Twins on Tuesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Megill was claimed off waivers from the Cubs earlier in the day, but he didn't have a spot on the Twins' roster for long. Minnesota may have made the move in hopes of bringing him back via a minor-league deal. Megill made his big-league debut with Chicago last season and had an 8.37 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB in 23.2 innings.

  • Danny Coulombe RP | BOS

    Danny Coulombe: Cut loose by Minnesota

    Coulombe was non-tendered by the Twins on Tuesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Coulombe posted a 3.67 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 33:7 K:BB over 34.1 innings for Minnesota during 2021, so he should receive at least some interest on the open market.

  • Angels' Raisel Iglesias: Back with Halos on four-year deal

    Iglesias agreed to a four-year contract with the Angels on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    Iglesias rejected the $18.4 million qualify offer from the Angels earlier in November, and he'll end up returning to the team on a $58 million deal, per Jon Morosi of MLB Network. The right-hander was acquired by the Halos last offseason and enjoyed a strong first season in Los Angeles, converting 34 of 39 save chances with a 2.57 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 103:12 K:BB across 70 innings. He's locked in as the Angels' closer for the foreseeable future.

  • Wander Suero RP | ATH

    Wander Suero: Parts ways with Washington

    Suero was non-tendered by the Nationals on Tuesday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

    Suero entered 2021 as a solid bullpen piece for Washington over the previous three years, but he struggled last season with a 6.33 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 44:15 K:BB over 42.2 innings. He may need to settle for a minor-league deal this offseason.

  • JD Hammer RP | COL

    Rockies' JD Hammer: Joining Colorado

    Hammer signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Tuesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Hammer elected free agency after being outrighted by the Phillies earlier in November, and he's now latched on with the Rockies. The 27-year-old had a 4.95 ERA over 20 big-league innings and a 3.80 ERA in 23.2 frames at Triple-A last season.

  • Tyler Duffey RP | KC

    Twins' Tyler Duffey: Inks one-year deal

    Duffey agreed to a one-year, $3.8 million contract with the Twins on Tuesday to avoid arbitration, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

    Duffey recorded a 3.18 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 61:28 K:BB over 62.1 innings while recording three saves and 22 holds last season. He should enter spring training as a high-leverage bullpen option for Minnesota next year.
