  • MIA Shortstop #63

    Xavier Edwards finished 2-for-4 with a double, a steal, three walks and three runs scored Thursday as the Marlins bested the Twins 8-6 in 13 innings.
    The Twins are now two behind the Royals and Tigers with three to play. Edwards went 6-for-13 with three RBI in the series to help spoil things for Minnesota. He has to be viewed as a top-100 player for 2025, given his .319 average and 31 steals in 67 games. If only he had a major league offense supporting him, he could be a true fantasy superstar.
  • STL Third Baseman #28

    Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post Dispatch reports that the Cardinals are expected to gauge interest in Nolan Arenado on the trade market.
    Arenado is still owed $74 million over the next three seasons, and the 33-year-old has seen his numbers decrease since leaving the friendly confines of Coors Field. The Cardinals would likely need to eat a significant amount of salary in order to get a quality return, but teams who need third baseman should have interest as he’s still a strong defender and capable of above-average offensive numbers.
  • FA Third Baseman #44
    Elehuris Montero has signed a one-year contract with the Hiroshima Carp of the Nippon Professional Baseball league.
    The deal will pay Montero $850,000 with a $400,00 signing bonus. Elehuris was outrighted off the Colorado roster after hitting just .228/.277/.387 in 2024 with the Rockies, and the 26-year-old will try and get his career back on the upswing with at least one year in Japan.
  • NYM Center Fielder #15
    Tyrone Taylor underwent an umbilical hernia repair as well on October 30 and also underwent a right elbow loose body removal Thursday.
    The Mets announced those operations for Taylor on Friday, and also said that the average timeline for return for both operations was around two months. That should put the outfielder back in plenty of time for spring training, but obviously a complication with either injury could see that timeline change.
  • CWS Relief Pitcher #49
    White Sox signed RHP Justin Dunn to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
    Dunn didn’t pitch in 2024 after undergoing surgery in 2024 on his right shoulder. The former top prospect will head to Chicago in hopes of winning a spot on the Chicago pitching staff, but more than likely the 29-year-old will just provide some organizational depth.
  • NYY Manager
    Yankees exercised manager Aaron Boone’s option for 2025.
    It was thought the two sides were working on a multiyear deal, but that hasn’t come to fruition, at least not yet. Boone’s Yankees reached the World Series last season, losing in five games to the Dodgers. His team is 603-429 in his seven years at the helm, but just 22-23 in six postseason appearances.
  • LAA Relief Pitcher #53
    Angels designated RHP Ryan Miller for assignment.
    The Halos needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster for Kyle Hendricks and unfortunately Miller was the odd-man out this time around. The 28-year-old right-hander made his big-league debut with the Angels in 2024, registering a 4.15 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and an 11/8 K/BB ratio over his 13 frames. There’s a decent chance that he’ll pass through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as extra bullpen depth for the Angels at the Triple-A level.
  • LAA Starting Pitcher #28
    Angels signed RHP Kyle Hendricks to a one-year, $2.5 million contract.
    The deal, which was agreed to on Wednesday, is now official. The 34-year-old hurler struggled to a 5.92 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and an 87/43 K/BB ratio over 130 2/3 innings in 29 appearances (24 starts) for the Cubs during the 2024 season. While he’s not a frontline starter, the Angels need all of the help that they can get in their starting rotation and Hendricks should prove to be a valuable innings eater. The major lack of strikeouts make him irrelevant in most fantasy formats.
  • FA Starting Pitcher #34
    According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, right-hander Noah Syndergaard has dropped 30 pounds and is eyeing a comeback to the big leagues in 2025.
    The 32-year-old right-hander has been working out in Texas since the summer and is hopeful for a return to a big-league rotation in 2025. The last time we saw Syndergaard on the mound he registered a 6.50 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and a 56/19 K/BB ratio across 88 2/3 innings between the Guardians and Dodgers during the 2023 campaign. Stranger things have happened, but Syndergaard’s return to fantasy relevance seems highly unlikely.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #45
    White Sox’ general manager Chris Getz told Bruce Levine of 670 The Score in Chicago that they are looking for position players in return for any trade involving left-hander Garrett Crochet.
    It’s no secret that Crochet’s name has come up in a plethora of trade discussions, so Getz is running with it and admitting that he wants young position players in return. It doesn’t sound like he’s in any hurry to make a move though and noted that “the right players have to be there” and that they “can’t force anything”. Where there’s this much smoke, there’s usually fire, so it would be a surprise if the 25-year-old southpaw opened up the season in a White Sox’ jersey.
  • KC Relief Pitcher
    Royals re-signed LHP Marlin Willis to a minor league contract.
    The 26-year-old southpaw had a very rough go at High-A Quad Cities during the 2024 season, registering an uninspiring 7.84 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and a 47/44 K/BB ratio across 31 innings. He has a very intriguing arm, but he still has a lot of work to do in order to harness his stuff.
