The Mets traded Williams to the Brewers on Wednesday alongside Brandon Sproat in exchange for Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

After posting an .867 OPS over 96 games with the Mets' Double-A affiliate last season, Williams received a promotion to Triple-A Syracuse in mid-August and slashed .209/.285/.433 with seven homers, 15 RBI and 21 runs scored across 151 plate appearances. The 22-year-old prospect doesn't own a 40-man roster spot, making it likely that he will report to Triple-A Nashville to begin his tenure with the Brewers. However, he could be promoted sometime during the season if shortstop Joey Ortiz's offensive struggles carry into 2026.

The Brewers traded Myers and Freddy Peralta to the Mets on Wednesday in exchange for Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

While Peralta is the most notable addition to the Mets' pitching staff from the trade, Myers has been productive in his own right, posting a 3.15 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 188.2 frames since reaching the majors in 2024. He worked primarily as a long reliever for the Brewers in 2025 but will likely get a chance to compete for a spot in New York's rotation during spring training.

The Brewers traded Peralta to the Mets on Wednesday alongside Tobias Myers in exchange for Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

The Mets get the rotation help they've been seeking by adding Peralta, who finished the 2025 regular season with a career-best 2.70 ERA and 1.08 WHIP while collecting 204 strikeouts in 176.2 innings. The 29-year-old righty figures to slot into the front end of New York's rotation alongside Nolan McLean and Sean Manaea and will be a candidate to start Opening Day.

Moncada signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Angels on Wednesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Injuries limited Moncada to playing in fewer than 100 games during 2025 for a third straight season. He was fairly effective when healthy, however, slashing .234/.336/.448 with 12 homers, 35 RBI and 39 runs scored across 289 plate appearances. He'll presumably reprise his role as the Halos' primary third baseman in 2026, but his inability to stay on the field remains a significant concern for fantasy managers.

The Mets designated Cheng for assignment Wednesday.

The move frees a spot on the 40-man roster for the signing of Luis Garcia. Cheng -- who was a waiver claim of the Mets just last week -- slashed only .209/.307/.271 at Triple-A Indianapolis in the Pirates organization in 2025. He could remain in the Mets organization if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Tucker is likely to bat second or third this season, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Roberts made the declaration during a press conference where the Dodgers officially announced the signing of Tucker to a four-year, $240 million contract. The skipper cautioned that his lineup isn't set in stone, but for the time being Roberts is leaning toward Tucker in the two or three hole. Tucker will take over in right field for the Dodgers, with Teoscar Hernandez shifting over to left field and Andy Pages patrolling center.

The Dodgers designated Siani for assignment Wednesday.

With the Dodgers' signing of Kyle Tucker becoming official, a spot on the 40-man roster was needed. Siani had been a waiver claim of the Dodgers in December -- the second time this winter he's been claimed -- and he will now go through the waivers process again. The 26-year-old is a career .221/.277/.270 hitter at the big-league level, but his excellent center-field defense could be enough to pique interest from other teams.

The Mets signed Garcia to a one-year, $1.75 million contract Wednesday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

He'll have an opportunity to earn an additional $1.25 million in incentives. Garcia pitched for three different teams in 2025, finishing with a 3.42 ERA and 48:26 K:BB over 55.1 frames between the Dodgers, Nationals and Angels. He will turn 39 next week and will fill a middle-relief role in Queens.

Wheeler (shoulder) will be behind the Phillies' other starting pitchers at the beginning of spring training, but indications are that "he will not be too far behind," Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Wheeler had an operation in mid-August to remove a blood clot near his right shoulder and then underwent venous thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in late September. He began a throwing program in early December, however, and long-tossed from 90 feet last week as part of what was "a very heavy workload for him," manager Rob Thomson said. While the Phillies have not ruled Wheeler out for Opening Day, it seems a stint on the injured list to begin the season is a real possibility. There's no guarantee Wheeler will regain his pre-surgery form, although venous thoracic outlet syndrome is considered the less severe of the two TOS diagnoses.

The Yankees re-signed Bellinger to a five-year, $162.5 million contract Wednesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

There are opt-outs after the second and third years of the contract, and Bellinger also received a $20 million signing bonus along with a full no-trade clause. Re-signing Bellinger has been the Yankees' biggest offseason priority, and they have finally got a deal across the finish line after months of negotiations. It's the best-case scenario for the fantasy value of Bellinger, whose swing is tailor made for Yankee Stadium. The 30-year-old slashed .272/.334/.480 with 29 home runs, 98 RBI and 13 stolen bases over 152 regular-season games in 2025, which included a .302/.365/.544 batting line and 18 long balls at home. With Bellinger sticking around as the Yankees' primary left fielder, Jasson Dominguez is now without a clear spot in the everyday lineup.
