Amed Rosario SS | NYY
Yankees' Amed Rosario: Sticking with Yankees
Rosario signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Yankees on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Rosario appeared in just 16 regular-season games after being traded from the Nationals to the Yankees, going 10-for-33 with a homer and five RBI. The 30-year-old will now return to the Bronx and provide the Pinstripes with a bench piece who is capable of playing nearly every defensive position. Rosario slashed .302/.328/.491 against southpaws in 2025.

Tyler Alexander RP | TEX
Rangers' Tyler Alexander: Latches on with Texas
Alexander signed a one-year contract with the Rangers on Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Alexander began the 2025 season with Milwaukee but was let go by the club in early June after accumulating a 6.19 ERA and 1.49 WHIP over 36.1 innings. He became more successful after signing with the White Sox, posting a 4.26 ERA and 1.35 WHIP alongside a 52:18 K:BB over 61.1 frames with Chicago. He'll now provide the Rangers with another bullpen arm capable of handling multiple innings at a time and could also be used for an occasional spot start.

Alexis Diaz RP | TEX
Rangers' Alexis Diaz: Signs one-year deal with Texas
Diaz signed a one-year contract with the Rangers on Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Diaz took a massive step in the wrong direction this past season, going from recording 28 saves with the Reds in 2024 to finishing the 2025 campaign with an 8.15 ERA and 1.53 WHIP over 17.2 innings in the big leagues. He'll get another chance to turn things around with the Rangers, though he'll likely need to display some consistency before the team considers using him in high-leverage situations regularly.

Danny Jansen C | TEX
Rangers' Danny Jansen: Signs with Rangers
Jansen signed a two-year, $14.5 million contract with the Rangers on Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Following a poor 2024 campaign, Jansen looked more like his usual self in '25, slashing .215/.321/.399 with 14 homers, 36 RBI and 38 runs scored across 337 regular-season plate appearances between Tampa Bay and Milwaukee. His return to form was enough to draw a multi-year commitment from Texas, where the 30-year-old will now compete with Kyle Higashioka for starting reps behind the plate.

Tyler Rogers RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Tyler Rogers: Inks three-year pact with Jays
Rogers signed a three-year, $37 million contract with the Blue Jays on Friday that includes a vesting option for 2029, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
After bolstering their rotation by signing Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce earlier this offseason, the Blue Jays now add an elite back-end bullpen arm in the form of Rogers. The 34-year-old righty enjoyed one of his best MLB seasons in 2025, logging a 1.98 ERA and 0.94 WHIP across 77.1 innings between the Giants and Mets. Given Jeff Hoffman's struggles as Toronto's primary closer this past season (4.37 ERA), there's a chance that Rogers takes over as the club's primary ninth-inning option.

Ernesto Wilson Martinez 1B | MIL
Yankees' Ernesto Martinez: Nabs NRI deal from Yankees
Martinez signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Martinez spent the entire 2025 campaign with the Brewers' Triple-A affiliate, where he slashed .255/.357/.388 with 40 RBI and 40 runs scored across 311 plate appearances. He'll have the opportunity to battle for a spot on the Yankees' Opening Day roster during the spring, but he's likely destined to begin the new season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Chase Lee RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Chase Lee: Shipped to Toronto
The Tigers traded Lee to the Blue Jays on Friday in exchange for Johan Simon, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Lee reached the big leagues for the first time in 2025 and finished the regular season with a 4.10 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 37.1 innings. He'll now help bolster Toronto's bullpen, but he's unlikely to work as more than a middle-relief option.

Jose Cuas RP | PHI
Royals' Jose Cuas: Returns to Royals
The Royals signed Cuas to a minor-league contract Friday.
Cuas spent all of the 2025 season in the minors after collecting a 4.37 ERA and 122:69 K:BB over 119.1 frames at the major-league level from 2022-2024. The first one-and-a-half of those seasons was spent with the Royals. Cuas should be ticketed for Triple-A Omaha to begin the 2026 campaign.

Drake Fellows P | PIT
Yankees' Drake Fellows: Signs MiLB deal with Yankees
The Yankees signed Fellows to a minor-league contract Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Fellows split the 2025 season between the rotation and bullpen at Triple-A Indianapolis in the Pirates organization, posting a 3.86 ERA and 35:11 K:BB over 30.1 frames during his time as a reliever. The Yankees plan to utilize him in a bullpen role in 2026. Fellows has yet to reach the big leagues and will likely begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Ryan Rolison RP | CHC
White Sox's Ryan Rolison: Claimed by White Sox
The White Sox claimed Rolison off waivers from Atlanta on Friday.
Atlanta designated Rolison for assignment Thursday and he's quickly been scooped up off waivers. The lefty held a 7.02 ERA and 25:20 K:BB over 42.1 innings with the Rockies in 2025. Rolison will compete for a role in the Opening Day bullpen, but he has minor-league options remaining so the White Sox could send him to Triple-A Charlotte if he doesn't make the club.
