  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Shipped to Cincy

    The Yankees traded Trevino to the Reds on Friday in exchange for Fernando Cruz and Alex Jackson, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

    Trevino slashed .215/.288/.354 with eight homers and 28 RBI over 234 regular-season plate appearances in 2024 while backing up Austin Wells. With Tyler Stephenson already in Cincinnati, Trevino will almost certainly continue to act as a backup, but the 32-year-old's career .637 OPS isn't likely to earn him a spot in the lineup very often.

  • Vidal Brujan 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Vidal Brujan: DFA'd by Fish

    The Marlins designated Brujan for assignment Friday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

    Brujan played in a career-high 102 games last season, during which he slashed .222/.303/.319 with 16 RBI and five stolen bases. However, Miami signed Eric Wagaman to a one-year deal Friday, which will force Brujan to give up his spot on the 40-man roster. The 26-year-old's defensive versatility could draw interest from other teams on the waiver wire, though chances are he begins the season in Triple-A.

  • Hagen Danner RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Hagen Danner: DFA'd by Torotno

    The Blue Jays designated Danner for assignment Friday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    The move makes room on the 40-man roster for left-hander Josh Walker, who signed with the Blue Jays on Friday. Danner spent the entire 2024 regular season with Triple-A Buffalo, and across 33 appearances he posted a 3.15 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 34.1 innings.

  • Eric Wagaman 1B | LAA

    Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Signs on with Miami

    The Marlins signed Wagaman to a one-year contract Friday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

    Wagaman was non-tendered by the Angels last month. The 27-year-old got a cup of coffee with the Halos in 2024, slashing .250/.270/.403 with two homers in 18 games with a .274/.339/.469 line and 17 home runs last year in the minors. Wagaman should have a pretty good chance to make the Opening Day roster as a utility player on a talent-deficient Marlins club.

  • Owen White RP | TEX

    Rangers' Owen White: Removed from 40-man roster

    The Rangers designated White for assignment Friday.

    The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the signing of Hoby Milner. White was arguably the Rangers' top pitching prospect two years ago, but his stuff and results have backed up since then. He spent most of the 2024 season at Triple-A Round Rock, holding a 5.64 ERA and 87:48 K:BB over 99 innings. White is still just 25, so there could be interest via trade or waivers.

  • Davis Daniel RP | ATL

    Braves' Davis Daniel: Traded to Atlanta

    Atlanta acquired Daniel from the Angels on Friday in exchange for Mitch Farris.

    Daniel had been designated for assignment by the Angels but will now join Atlanta's 40-man roster. The 27-year-old posted a 6.23 ERA and 28:6 K:BB over 30.1 innings in 2024 and will likely begin 2025 in the Triple-A Gwinnett rotation.

  • Luis Ortiz RP | PHI

    Mets' Luis Ortiz: Will rehab with Mets

    The Mets signed Ortiz (elbow) to a minor-league contract Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Ortiz will miss most, if not all, of the 2025 campaign while recovering from Tommy John surgery, so this is likely a two-year minor-league deal. He holds a career 4.76 ERA and 25:16 K:BB across 34 innings covering parts of five seasons at the big-league level.

  • Anthony Gose RP | CLE

    Mets' Anthony Gose: NRI deal with Mets

    The Mets signed Gose to a minor-league contract Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    A converted outfielder, Gose holds a 4.78 ERA but a 41:17 K:BB over 32 innings at the big-league level. The 34-year-old will be a long shot to win a spot in the Mets' bullpen.

  • Astros' Christian Walker: Agrees to deal with Houston

    The Astros agreed to terms on a three-year, $60 million contract with Walker on Friday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

    The Astros have their first baseman, which means Isaac Paredes will play third base and Alex Bregman is likely to sign somewhere else. Walker, who turns 34 in March, is the premier defensive first baseman in the game, having won three straight Gold Gloves and boasting the defensive metrics to match. He's also averaged 31.7 home runs over the last three seasons and should provide a boost in the middle of the Astros' lineup, provided he doesn't experience the kind of steep aging curve Jose Abreu did.

  • Matt Bowman RP | BAL

    Orioles' Matt Bowman: Re-signs with Baltimore as NRI

    The Orioles re-signed Bowman to a minor-league contract Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

    He will earn $1.1 million if in the majors, with a chance for $400,000 more in incentives. Bowman finished last season with the Orioles -- his fourth club in 2024 -- and collected a 4.40 ERA and 24:13 K:BB over 30.2 innings across his four stops.
