The Rays signed Booser to a minor-league contract Monday.

Booser was non-tendered by the White Sox earlier this offseason after finishing with a 5.52 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 35:19 K:BB over 31 innings during the 2025 campaign. The Rays will retain control of the lefty reliever through the 2030 season.

The Rockies signed Weigel to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Weigel is coming off a terrific performance in the Dominican Winter League, having posted a 1.19 ERA and 34:5 K:BB over 30.1 innings. The 31-year-old has not pitched in the majors since 2021, having bounced around between the minors and independent ball since then. Weigel is likely ticketed for Triple-A Albuquerque to begin the 2026 season.

Birdsong has been working on staying more upright with his delivery this offseason as he looks to improve his command, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

In his first 16 appearances (five starts) last season, Birdsong collected a 2.79 ERA and 51:19 K:BB over 48.1 innings. He then posted a 10.38 ERA and 17:18 K:BB over his next five outings, got optioned to Triple-A Sacramento and never returned to the majors. Birdsong believes he was "over-bending," which made his arm slot rise and the movement on his pitches get out of whack. The 24-year-old is pleased with his mechanical work over the winter, and he's also tentatively planning to pitch exclusively from the stretch in 2026 after he used a windup in 2025 for the first time since college. There's currently not room for Birdsong in the Giants' rotation, and he's had trouble throwing strikes both in the majors (13.1 percent walk rate) and minors (11.3 percent walk rate). However, with a 25.4 percent strikeout rate in the majors and 32.3 percent strikeout rate in the minors, Birdsong could still have upside if he's able to get his walk rate to an acceptable level.

The Cardinals signed Velazquez to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training.

Velazquez split the 2025 season between the Triple-A level in the Royals and Pirates organizations and also spent time in the Mexican League. The 27-year-old has cranked 31 home runs in 615 plate appearances at the major-league level, but that's come with just a .212/.286/.433 career batting line and 28.8 percent strikeout rate. The Cardinals have been looking for a right-handed-hitting reserve outfielder, which gives Velazquez a chance to make the team even if the odds aren't high.

Miller has added 12 pounds over the offseason and touched 98.3 mph during a recent throwing session, he posted on his X account Jan. 16.

Miller missed time on two separate occasions during the 2025 season due to a bone spur in his right elbow, though he returned to pitch down the stretch of the regular season and playoffs. The righty received a platelet-rich plasma injection for his elbow in June and was reportedly considering getting another injection this offseason, though it's unclear whether he wound up receiving one. Either way, Miller appears poised to enter spring training without restrictions, but he will be a health risk in 2026 and is coming off a 2025 campaign that saw him collect a 5.68 ERA and 74:34 K:BB over 90.1 regular-season innings.

Goldschmidt is planning to continue his playing career in 2026, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

Goldschmidt is 38 and has slashed an underwhelming .258/.313/.409 over the last two regular seasons. However, he put up a .336/.411/.570 batting line during the 2025 regular season against left-handed pitching, so there should still be a gig available for the former MVP, likely as a short-side platoon bat. The Diamondbacks are rumored to be exploring a reunion with Goldschmidt, though a deal between the two sides doesn't appear close.

The Twins and Ryan avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $6.1 million contract Monday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. The deal includes a $13 million mutual option for 2027.

Ryan's $6.1 million salary for 2026 is right at the midpoint of the figures the two sides exchanged earlier this month, and he's guaranteed an additional $100,000 in the form of a buyout of his 2027 option. The right-hander posted a 3.42 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 194:39 K:BB across 171 innings in 2025. The Twins reportedly have pulled Ryan off the trade market for this offseason, but his name is likely to come up again during this year's trade deadline, if he's healthy and pitching well.

The Angels signed Sandlin (elbow) to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Sandlin was limited to only 19 appearances in 2025 for the Blue Jays due to elbow trouble, with the last of those outings coming before the All-Star break. It's unclear whether he will have restrictions in spring training, but Sandlin boasts a career 3.19 ERA and 27.3 percent strikeout rate, so he'll have a good shot to make the Opening Day roster, if healthy.

Matos could be the player whose outlook is most negatively impacted by the Giants' signing of Harrison Bader, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Matos had been set to compete for playing time in right field, but Jung Hoo Lee will now shift to that position to accommodate the arrival of Bader in center field. He's managed just a .231/.281/.369 batting line over parts of three big-league seasons and is out of minor-league options, but Matos will turn only 24 later this week and could be a change-of-scenery candidate if the Giants don't think they can fit him on their roster.

Williams said Monday that his positional focus heading into spring training will be at shortstop, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Acquired from the Mets last week in the Freddy Peralta trade, Williams' primary position so far in pro ball has been shortstop, but he's also played second base and center field and considers himself "pretty comfortable at all three positions now." Williams is likely to begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Nashville after hitting only .209/.285/.433at Triple-A Syracuse in 2025 following a late-season promotion. The 22-year-old could debut at some point during the upcoming season, likely either at shortstop or in center field.
