  • Tyler Mattison: Departs from Detroit

    Mattison was non-tendered by the Tigers on Friday.

    Jack Little: Non-tendered by Detroit

    Little was non-tendered by the Tigers on Friday.

    The Tigers claimed Little in early November but then designated him for assignment two weeks later. He'll now officially hit free agency. Little made his very brief MLB debut with the Dodgers in June and July.

  • Sean Guenther RP | DET

    Sean Guenther: Hits free agency

    Guenther (hip) was non-tendered by the Tigers on Friday.

    Guenther was designated for assignment Tuesday and was likely to set become a free agent anyway. He threw only 18.1 innings in 2025 across multiple levels while dealing with a hip injury.

  • Jason Foley RP | SF

    Jason Foley: Becomes free agent

    Foley (shoulder) was non-tendered by the Tigers on Friday.

    Foley was designated for assignment Tuesday, but he's now officially a free agent. He spent most of the 2025 season sidelined by a shoulder injury.

  • Dugan Darnell RP | DET

    Dugan Darnell: Non-tendered by Tigers

    Darnell (hip) was non-tendered by Detroit on Friday.

    The Tigers claimed Darnell off waivers in mid-November, but his time with the club was short-lived. He'll become a free agent as he continues to recover from hip surgery that he underwent in mid-September.

  • Andrew Knizner: Becomes free agent

    Knizner was non-tendered by the Giants on Friday.

    Knizner was designated for assignment Friday and was set to be a free agent if he went unclaimed on waivers. This move was primarily procedural as a result.

  • Giants' JT Brubaker: Re-signs with Giants

    Brubaker signed a one-year contract with the Giants on Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Brubaker enjoyed his most successful season in the majors while working primarily as a reliever in 2025, logging a 3.77 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 28.2 innings between the Yankees and Giants. The 32-year-old righty will likely compete for a rotation spot during spring training, though he could also be used as a long reliever again if he misses the cut.

  • Tayler Saucedo RP | LAA

    Tayler Saucedo: Parts ways with Seattle

    The Mariners non-tendered Saucedo on Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    The left-hander was designated for assignment by Seattle earlier this week and will now hit the open market. Saucedo gave up 11 earned runs over 10 relief appearances for the Mariners in 2025, so he spent most of the campaign at Triple-A Tacoma.

  • Trent Thornton RP | CHC

    Trent Thornton: Non-tendered by Mariners

    The Mariners non-tendered Thornton on Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Thornton's 2025 season came to an abrupt halt in late July after he tore his left Achilles tendon. Prior to the injury, Thornton posted five holds along with a 4.68 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 32:14 K:BB across 42.1 innings while operating out of the bullpen. Thornton's expected timeline to recover was estimated as 6-to-8 months after undergoing surgery in August, which will impact his availability for spring training should he sign with a team.

  • Alexander Canario: Officially let go by Pirates

    The Pirates non-tendered Canario on Friday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

    Canario was DFA'd by the Pirates on Tuesday to make room on the 40-man for a wave of prospects, and he'll now lose his place in the organization altogether. The 25-year-old may have to settle for a minor-league deal in free agency after slashing just .218/.274/.338 over 234 plate appearances during his first extended look in the bigs.
