    Blue Jays' Tyler Rogers: Inks three-year pact with Jays

    Rogers signed a three-year, $37 million contract with the Blue Jays on Friday that includes a vesting option for 2029, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

    After bolstering their rotation by signing Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce earlier this offseason, the Blue Jays now add an elite back-end bullpen arm in the form of Rogers. The 34-year-old righty enjoyed one of his best MLB seasons in 2025, logging a 1.98 ERA and 0.94 WHIP across 77.1 innings between the Giants and Mets. Given Jeff Hoffman's struggles as Toronto's primary closer this past season (4.37 ERA), there's a chance that Rogers takes over as the club's primary ninth-inning option.

  • Yankees' Ernesto Martinez: Nabs NRI deal from Yankees

    Martinez signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

    Martinez spent the entire 2025 campaign with the Brewers' Triple-A affiliate, where he slashed .255/.357/.388 with 40 RBI and 40 runs scored across 311 plate appearances. He'll have the opportunity to battle for a spot on the Yankees' Opening Day roster during the spring, but he's likely destined to begin the new season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

  • Chase Lee RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Chase Lee: Shipped to Toronto

    The Tigers traded Lee to the Blue Jays on Friday in exchange for Johan Simon, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

    Lee reached the big leagues for the first time in 2025 and finished the regular season with a 4.10 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 37.1 innings. He'll now help bolster Toronto's bullpen, but he's unlikely to work as more than a middle-relief option.

  • Josiah Gray SP | WAS

    Nationals' Josiah Gray: Avoids arbitration with Nationals

    The Nationals and Gray (elbow) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.35 million contract Friday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Gray was limited to three rehab starts this season as he returned from UCL surgery and will receive the same salary he got in 2025. The right-hander is expected to be ready to go at the start of spring training, though he will likely face workload restrictions in 2026 after throwing a combined 35 innings over the previous two seasons.

  • Jose Cuas RP | PHI

    Royals' Jose Cuas: Returns to Royals

    The Royals signed Cuas to a minor-league contract Friday.

    Cuas spent all of the 2025 season in the minors after collecting a 4.37 ERA and 122:69 K:BB over 119.1 frames at the major-league level from 2022-2024. The first one-and-a-half of those seasons was spent with the Royals. Cuas should be ticketed for Triple-A Omaha to begin the 2026 campaign.

  • Bryce Jarvis RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Scrubbed from 40-man roster

    The Diamondbacks designated Jarvis for assignment Friday.

    The transaction frees up a 40-man roster spot for Michael Soroka, whose signing was officially announced Friday. Jarvis has a 3.69 ERA over 105 innings at the major-league level, but that's come with an unappetizing 71:52 K:BB.

  • Yankees' Drake Fellows: Signs MiLB deal with Yankees

    The Yankees signed Fellows to a minor-league contract Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

    Fellows split the 2025 season between the rotation and bullpen at Triple-A Indianapolis in the Pirates organization, posting a 3.86 ERA and 35:11 K:BB over 30.1 frames during his time as a reliever. The Yankees plan to utilize him in a bullpen role in 2026. Fellows has yet to reach the big leagues and will likely begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

  • Ryan Rolison RP | CHC

    White Sox's Ryan Rolison: Claimed by White Sox

    The White Sox claimed Rolison off waivers from Atlanta on Friday.

    Atlanta designated Rolison for assignment Thursday and he's quickly been scooped up off waivers. The lefty held a 7.02 ERA and 25:20 K:BB over 42.1 innings with the Rockies in 2025. Rolison will compete for a role in the Opening Day bullpen, but he has minor-league options remaining so the White Sox could send him to Triple-A Charlotte if he doesn't make the club.

  • Ryan Noda 1B | BAL

    Orioles' Ryan Noda: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The Orioles outrighted Noda to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Noda passed through waivers unclaimed after being booted off the 40-man roster, and he will remain in the organization. After flashing some promise in his rookie season with the Athletics in 2023, the 29-year-old Noda has slashed only .127/.262/.197 in 59 games at the big-league level the last two years.

  • Mike Siani CF | LAD

    Dodgers' Michael Siani: Scooped up by Dodgers

    The Dodgers claimed Siani off waivers from Atlanta on Friday.

    Siani has gone from St. Louis to Atlanta and now to the defending champs via waivers this offseason. The speedster is a terrific defensive center fielder but has slashed just .221/.277/.270 at the big-league level and spent most of the 2025 season in the minors. Siani has minor-league options remaining, and if he's still in the Dodgers organization on Opening Day, it will likely be at Triple-A Oklahoma City.
