The Yankees signed Rodriguez (elbow) to a minor-league contract Monday.

Per Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors, it's a two-year deal for Rodriguez, who is aiming to return around midseason after having Tommy John surgery this past spring. The 28-year-old reliever holds an 8.17 ERA and 33:19 K:BB over 36.1 innings covering parts of three seasons at the big-league level.

Long signed with NPB's Chiba Lotte on Sunday.

Long is a 30-year-old right-handed reliever who has played with three teams over five big-league seasons. He was solid in his first year in Kansas City in 2024, posting a 3.16 ERA and 1.20 WHIP along with a 44:17 K:BB over 42.2 innings, but Long struggled to a 5.36 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 33:22 across 40.1 frames last season. He wasn't likely to get more than a minor-league deal in MLB free agency and has instead opted to try to put things back together overseas.

Atlanta signed Payamps to a one-year, $2.25 million contract Sunday.

Payamps joined Atlanta as a waiver claim in late September and was outrighted to Triple-A on Nov. 6. That move was likely made by the team to avoid an arbitration hearing, as the $2.25 million agreed to by the sides Sunday is probably less than what the veteran reliever would have received in arbitration. Regardless, Payamps now seems ticketed for a role in Atlanta's bullpen in 2026. He's had plenty of major-league success but will be looking to rebound from a career-worst 2025 campaign during which he posted a 6.84 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB over 26.1 innings across 30 appearances between Atlanta and Milwaukee.

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.

Rainey was non-tendered by Detroit on Friday.

Rainey spent the 2025 season split between Pittsburgh and Detroit. He was in Triple-A for most of the 2025 season but struggled significantly in a brief sample in the majors.

Mattison was non-tendered by the Tigers on Friday.

Mattison was designated for assignment Tuesday after being selected by the Tigers in the Rule 5 Draft last year. He'll now be a free agent after reaching Triple-A Toledo in 2025.

Little was non-tendered by the Tigers on Friday.

The Tigers claimed Little in early November but then designated him for assignment two weeks later. He'll now officially hit free agency. Little made his very brief MLB debut with the Dodgers in June and July.

Guenther (hip) was non-tendered by the Tigers on Friday.

Guenther was designated for assignment Tuesday and was likely to set become a free agent anyway. He threw only 18.1 innings in 2025 across multiple levels while dealing with a hip injury.

Foley (shoulder) was non-tendered by the Tigers on Friday.

Foley was designated for assignment Tuesday, but he's now officially a free agent. He spent most of the 2025 season sidelined by a shoulder injury.
