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.

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.

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.

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.

The Orioles outrighted Noda to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Noda passed through waivers unclaimed after being booted off the 40-man roster, and he will remain in the organization. After flashing some promise in his rookie season with the Athletics in 2023, the 29-year-old Noda has slashed only .127/.262/.197 in 59 games at the big-league level the last two years.

The Royals and Garcia (hamstring) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a five-year contract extension with a club option for 2031 on Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Anne Rogers of MLB.com says the deal is worth a guaranteed $57.5 million and can reach $85 million if he hits escalators and the option is exercised. Garcia had been eligible for salary arbitration for the first time as a Super 2 qualifier, but his new deal with cover all arbitration years and at least one year of free agency. Slated to turn 26 in March, Garcia had a breakout 2025 season, slashing .286/.351/.449 with 16 home runs and 23 stolen bases while capturing his first American League Gold Glove award. The third baseman recently strained his hamstring while playing in the Venezuelan Winter League, but he should be fine for the beginning of spring training.

Torres (groin) has been cleared to participate in all baseball activities, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Torres underwent sports hernia surgery in October, an injury that he played through over the final month of the regular season and into the playoffs. He is now fully recovered from the operation and can proceed with his normal offseason training. Torres will return as the Tigers' everyday second baseman in 2026 after accepting the team's one-year, $22.025 million qualifying offer.

Olson (shoulder) was scheduled to begin a throwing progression this week, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Olson missed the final two month of the regular season and the playoffs with a right shoulder strain, but he is expected to be ready to go for the start of spring training. The right-hander has dealt with injury issues but has been effective when on the bump, boasting a career 3.60 ERA and 269:91 K:BB over 284.2 regular-season innings since 2023.

Manzardo has gained 14 pounds of muscle since the end of the 2025 season, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

The Guardians want Manzardo, who played a career-high 142 regular-season games last season, to hold up better physically and be a candidate for more reps at first base in 2026. He mostly served as a designated hitter in 2025, when he appeared in 84 regular-season games as a DH and 55 at first base. With Carlos Santana no longer around, Manzardo and C.J. Kayfus are primed for more work at first, although Kayfus might be a better fit in the outfield. While holding up physically over the course of a season is one goal for the 25-year-old Manzardo, becoming a legit threat against left-handed pitching should be another. He slashed .186/.253/.419 over 95 regular-season plate appearances against southpaws in 2025.

Thomas (foot) signed a one-year, $5.25 million contract with the Royals on Thursday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Injuries limited Thomas to playing in just 39 games with the Guardians in 2025, as he missed time at the start of the year with a wrist issue before plantar fasciitis in his right foot ended his season in July. When the 30-year-old was healthy, he struggled to produce at the plate, slashing just .160/.246/.272 over 142 plate appearances. Despite his struggles, Thomas should be able to capture a starting job in a Royals outfield that lacks depth following Mike Yastrzemski's departure.
