  • Logan Gilbert SP | SEA

    Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Gets nearly $11 million

    Gilbert and the Mariners agreed to a one-year, $10.9 million contract to avoid arbitration Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

    This marked Gilbert's third year of arbitration eligibility, and he's secured a raise of about $3.4 million for 2026. He turned in another very strong season last year, maintaining a 3.44 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 131 frames during the regular season.

  • Max Meyer SP | MIA

    Marlins' Max Meyer: Comes to terms with Miami

    Meyer (hip) and the Marlins agreed to a one-year contract to avoid arbitration Thursday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

    Meyer has struggled with injuries throughout his big-league career and made only 12 starts in 2025. He posted a 4.73 ERA and 68:20 K:BB across 64.2 frames before being sidelined in early July by a hip issue that required surgery. Meyer figures to be ready for spring training and should have the inside track on a rotation spot to begin 2026.

  • Nick Lodolo SP | CIN

    Reds' Nick Lodolo: Avoids arbitration with Cincinnati

    Lodolo signed a one-year, $4.725 million contract with the Reds on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

    The deal also includes up to $450,000 in incentives, per Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer. Lodolo spent the majority of 2025 in the Reds' rotation before being moved to the bullpen for one late-season appearance, plus Cincinnati's brief playoff run. He ended the regular season with a 9-8 record (over a career-high 28 starts) while posting a 3.33 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 156:31 K:BB across 156.2 innings. Lodolo has seen his ERA and WHIP numbers steadily improve over the past three seasons, and his 4.8 percent walk rate in 2025 ranked fourth among starters with at least 150 innings.

  • Brady Singer SP | CIN

    Reds' Brady Singer: Secures $12.75 million from Reds

    Singer agreed to a one-year, $12.75 million contract with the Reds on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

    Singer finished his first year in Cincinnati with a 4.03 ERA and 1.24 WHIP alongside a 163:60 K:BB across 169.2 regular-season innings, and he'll now be rewarded in the form of a $4 million salary increase. He'll presumably claim a spot at the back end of the Reds' rotation to begin 2026 and is slated to become a free agent after the end of the season.

  • Ryan Weathers SP | MIA

    Marlins' Ryan Weathers: Agrees to deal with Miami

    Weathers agreed to a one-year contract worth $1.35 million with the Marlins on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

    Weathers opened the 2025 campaign on the Marlins' injured list due to a forearm strain, but after debuting in mid-May he wound up back on the IL with a lat strain after just five starts. The 26-year-old southpaw was cleared to return in September, and over his last three outings of the season he posted a 1-1 record with a 5.27 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB across 13.2 innings. Weathers has started in only 39 major-league games over the last three seasons, but if he remains healthy, he should serve in a prominent role in the Marlins' rotation in 2026.

  • Trevor Rogers SP | BAL

    Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Reaches deal with Baltimore

    Rogers agreed to a one-year, $6.2 million contract with the Orioles on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Rogers opened the 2025 season on the IL due to a right knee injury, and he initially worked at Triple-A once healthy before earning a permanent spot in the Orioles' rotation by mid-June. He went 9-3 across 18 major-league starts and posted a 1.81 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 103:29 K:BB across 109.2 innings. Rogers figures to be a key member of the Orioles' rotation for the 2026 campaign and is a candidate to serve as the Baltimore's starter for Opening Day.

  • Shane Baz SP | BAL

    Orioles' Shane Baz: Avoids arbitration with Baltimore

    Baz agreed to a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Orioles on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Baz is coming off a 2025 campaign with the Rays during which he posted a 10-12 record across in 31 starts with a 4.87 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 176:64 K:BB across 166.1 innings. He was shipped to the Orioles in mid-December, and the 26-year-old right-hander should benefit from the move from hitter-friendly Steinbrenner Field to Camden Yards.

  • Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Avoids arbitration

    The Marlins and Garrett (elbow) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.53 million contract Thursday, Fish on First reports.

    Garrett will receive the same salary for a second straight year after he missed all of the 2025 season following UCL revision surgery with an internal brace on his left elbow. The southpaw is a little over a year removed from the operation and it's unclear whether he will be ready in time for Opening Day.

  • Royals' Bailey Falter: Settles at $3.6 million

    Falter (biceps) agreed to a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the Royals on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    Falter failed to make a positive first impression with the Royals after being traded from Pittsburgh at the deadline, as he allowed 15 earned runs over just 12 innings before spending the final month of the season on the injured list due to a biceps contusion. He's likely to be fully recovered by the time spring training starts, at which point he'll compete for a spot in Kansas City's rotation.

  • Hunter Brown SP | HOU

    Astros' Hunter Brown: Collects $5.71 million for 2026

    Brown agreed to a one-year, $5.71 million contract with the Astros on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    The right-hander will receive a well-earned raise in his first year of arbitration eligibility. Brown positioned himself as Houston's ace in 2025, posting a 2.43 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 206:57 K:BB across 185.1 innings.
