  • Ty Adcock RP | NYM

    Padres' Ty Adcock: Gets MLB deal from Padres

    The Padres signed Adcock to a one-year contract Thursday.

    Adcock got into three games with the Mets in 2025 but spent most of the season at Triple-A Syracuse, where he posted a 4.66 ERA and 35:14 K:BB over 36.2 frames. The right-handed reliever does not have minor-league options remaining and has previously been outrighted, so he'll either be part of the Padres' Opening Day bullpen or have a chance to return to the open market.

  • Phillies' Michael Mercado: Back with Phillies on MiLB pact

    The Phillies re-signed Mercado to a minor-league contract Nov. 24.

    Mercado was non-tendered by the Phillies but quickly re-signed to a minor-league pact. The 26-year-old has had a rough go of it at the major-league level thus far, allowing 21 runs and a whopping 10 home runs over 16 innings.

  • Griffin Conine RF | MIA

    Marlins' Griffin Conine: Will play some first base in spring

    Conine will be given reps at first base during spring training, Ken Rosenthal and Patrick Mooney of The Athletic report.

    Conine has not played anywhere other than the corner-outfield spots in pro ball, but the Marlins plan to give him a test run at first base. The position is wide open, so Conine could even start there if he adapts well to first base. Conine missed most of the 2025 season following surgery to repair a dislocated left shoulder, but he returned late in the year and enters the offseason healthy.

  • Emilio Pagan RP | CIN

    Reds' Emilio Pagan: Back with Reds

    Pagan signed a two-year, $20 million contract with the Reds on Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

    Pagan thrived as the Reds' primary closer this past season, posting a 2.88 ERA and 0.92 WHIP alongside an 81:22 K:BB across 68.2 innings while converting a career-high 32 saves during the regular season. Assuming the Reds don't make another move for a high-leverage reliever, the 31-year-old righty will presumably maintain his hold on ninth-inning duties for Cincinnati.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Spending final season with Dodgers

    Rojas signed a one-year, $5.5 million contract with the Dodgers on Wednesday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

    Rojas has previously stated his intentions to retire from professional baseball after the 2026 campaign, and he will officially remain in Dodger blue for what will be his 13th and final MLB season. The 36-year-old slashed .262/.318/.397 with 27 RBI and 35 runs scored across 317 regular-season plate appearances in 2025 and figures to retain his role as a utility infielder for Los Angeles.

  • Austin Pope P | ARI

    Braves' Austin Pope: Signs MiLB deal with Atlanta

    Atlanta signed Pope to a minor-league contract Nov. 30.

    Pope made his major-league debut in 2025 with one scoreless appearance for the Diamondbacks before electing free agency last month after he was removed from the 40-man roster. The 27-year-old held a 4.60 ERA and 34:10 K:BB across 29.1 frames with Triple-A Reno and will likely begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Gwinnett.

  • Tommy Henry SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Back with Arizona on NRI deal

    The Diamondbacks re-signed Henry (elbow) to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training Monday.

    Henry was non-tendered by Arizona last month, but the two sides have reunited on a minor-league pact. The left-hander missed much of 2025 due to injury and could be out for all of next season following Tommy John surgery in June. Henry holds a career 5.07 ERA over 37 appearances (32 starts) at the big-league level.

  • Owen Caissie OF | CHC

    Cubs' Owen Caissie: Expected to get regular reps

    The Cubs are currently projecting regular playing time for Caissie next season, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

    The club would also like to give Moises Ballesteros a chance to play regularly, though one of Caissie, Ballesteros and Seiya Suzuki will have to sit out most days. Caissie has nothing left to prove at Triple-A Iowa, having slashed .281/.380/.507 there over the last two seasons. He struggled in a cup of coffee with the Cubs, going 5-for-26 with 11 strikeouts, but is viewed as the team's top prospect.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Recovering from wrist surgery

    Schmitt underwent surgery on his left wrist Tuesday and was given a rehab timeline of 8-to-10 weeks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    The 26-year-old could be limited for the start of spring training in February but should have plenty of time to get back to full health before Opening Day. Schmitt played in 95 games for the Giants last season and clubbed 12 home runs with a .237/.305/.401 slash line in 348 plate appearances. He should be in the mix to start at second base to begin 2026 but is likely better suited for more of a utility role.

  • Danny Young RP | ATL

    Braves' Danny Young: Inks split contract with Atlanta

    Atlanta signed Young (elbow) to a one-year contract Tuesday.

    It's a split contract for Young, who will miss at least the first half of the 2026 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The left-handed reliever holds a career 4.01 ERA and 78:25 K:BB over 60.2 innings covering parts of four major-league seasons, which includes stints in Atlanta in 2022 and 2023.
