Michael Siani

ATL Center Fielder #22

Braves designated OF Michael Siani for assignment.

It clears space on the 40-man roster for Mike Yastrzemski. Siani was claimed off waivers in November from the Cardinals, and because he’s such a strong defensive player, there’s a good chance he’s claimed again before the end of December.
Mike Yastrzemski

ATL Right Fielder #18

Braves signed OF Mike Yastrzemski to a two-year, $23 million contract with a club option for 2028.

The club option is for $7 million and contains a $4 million buyout. The veteran outfielder should be in the lineup on a consistent basis against right-handers, but doesn’t offer a ton of fantasy upside as a player who will turn 36 in August with so-so results over his last few campaigns.
Mike Yastrzemski

FA Right Fielder #18

Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that Atlanta has signed OF Mike Yastrzemski to a two-year, $23 million contract.

The deal also contains a club option for 2028, according to Passan. Yastrzemski spent 2025 with the Royals and Giants and hit 17 homers while stealing seven bases in 146 games with the two clubs. The 35-year-old will likely be in the lineup against right-handed pitching, and doesn’t project to be much more than a bench piece in fantasy lineups outside of NL-only formats.
Justin Riemer

ATH 2nd Baseman

Athletics acquired INF Justin Riemer from the Red Sox in the trade for RHP Ryan Watson.

Riemer was selected in the fourth round by the Red Sox in 2023 out of Wichita State. The infielder will likely report to Double-A to begin his 2026 campaign.
Ryan Watson

BOS Relief Pitcher

Red Sox acquired RHP Ryan Watson from the Athletics in exchange for INF Justin Riemer.

Watson was drafted in the Rule 5 draft by the A’s, but his chance to make his MLB mark will come with Boston. The 28-year-old will need to pitch well this spring to have any shot of making the Opening Day roster.
Joey Gallo

FA Left Fielder #24

Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports that Joey Gallo is drawing interest as a pitcher.

Gallo, 32, announced that he was making the move to the mound, and the former power hitter has reportedly hit the high 90s with his fastball; something he also did in high school. The 6-foot-5 right-hander will likely work out of the bullpen for whatever team procures his services.
Michael Kopech

FA Relief Pitcher #45

Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that the Giants have been in touch with Michael Kopech.

Kopech would give the Giants a potential high-leverage option if he landed there, but one who has routinely had to spend time on the injured list. He still throws hard when on the mound, however, and it’s not surprising to see teams showing interest in procuring his services.
Brad Keller

FA Relief Pitcher #40

Ben Nicholson-Smith and Shi Davidi of Sportsnet report that the Blue Jays have shown interest in Brad Keller.

Keller was excellent in 2025 with a 2.07 ERA and 75/22 K/BB over 69 2/3 innings, and has interest from teams both as a reliever and a starter on the open market. The Blue Jays have already added Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce to their group, but it appears they want more depth, and Keller could work either as a multi-inning option or starter in 2026. If he’s in the former, there’s very little fantasy value.
Yoniel Curet

PHI Starting Pitcher #58

Phillies acquired RHP Yoniel Curet from the Rays for RHP Tommy McCollum.

Curet, who just turned 23 in November, was a rather surprising choice to get DFA’d when the Rays needed to open up a spot on the 40-man last week. He missed time in 2025 and finished with a 3.90 ERA and a 62/31 K/BB over 55 1/3 innings in his 14 starts and two relief appearances between Double- and Triple-A. He doesn’t have a truly plus second pitch yet, but his sinker averages 96 mph and there’s some potential with both his slider and changeup. He’ll likely open up next season in the Phillies’ Triple-A rotation.
Tommy McCollum

TB Relief Pitcher

Rays acquired RHP Tommy McCollum from the Phillies for RHP Yoniel Curet.

The deal got done after McCollum went unpicked in the Rule 5 draft. The 26-year-old reliever had a 3.07 ERA and a 59/16 K/BB in 55 2/3 innings at three levels last season. He’s a fringe bullpen candidate, but he’s not on the 40-man and he’ll have all of his option years if he’s added, making him nice to have around.
