The Rays will be without Rodríguez for at least two weeks as he recovers. The 28-year-old is replaced on the active roster by Cole Sulser, who was recalled from Durham in the corresponding transaction.

Moore doesn’t get a guaranteed deal, which isn’t a surprise considering how much he struggled for most of 2025 with Seattle. The 33-year-old is a competent defender at multiple positions, however, and his ability to hit lefties and steal bases gives him a good chance of making the Philadelphia roster.

Moore, 33, has been one of the more verstatile players in baseball over the past few seasons with the ability to play essentially everywhere but catcher and pitcher. He’s also shown the ability to mash left-handed pitching, and it’s likely that is the role he’ll be tasked with in Philadelphia.

Pasquantino had filed for $4.5 million while the Royals countered with $4 million, but the two sides were able to work out a multi-year deal. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the deal could reach $16 million with incentives. The 28-year-old hit 32 homers, drove in 113 runs while forging a .798 OPS in 2025, and he should again hit in the middle of the Kansas City lineup in 2026. Keep in mind that the Royals are moving their fences in, so the power numbers could be even better this summer.

Freeberger spent the last two seasons in the Baltimore organization after going undrafted. He spent 2025 in High-A with Aberdeen while forging a 5.24 ERA over 34 1/3 innings over 26 appearances.

Robertson made the announcement on his social media pages. The 40-year-old was one of the best closers in baseball for a time, and he finishes his career with 206 saves and a 2.93 ERA over 881 career appearances. His best seasons came with the Yankees and White Sox, but he also pitched for the Phillies, Rays ,Mets, Cubs, Marlins and Rangers.

Evans, 24, pitched respectable in his rookie campaign with a 4.32 ERA over 81 1/3 innings in 16 appearances, 15 of those starts. The right-hander will not be able to return until 2027, and it’s hard to see a role as a starter with Seattle barring significant changes.

Reetz hit a .192/.307/.399 in 228 Triple-A plate appearances in the Mets and Orioles organizations last year. He is a well-regarded framer, but he has a career .230/.331/.451 Triple-A slash line in 983 plate appearances. Organizations need lots of catcher depth heading into spring training.

Wilson spent last year with the Guardians and hit .246/.325/.435 in Triple-A before making his MLB debut. Unfortunately, he slashed .192/.267/.244 slash with a 37 percent strikeout rate in 91 plate appearances for Cleveland. He can play anywhere in the infield, so the Mariners could view him as organizational depth at a few positions.

The deal includes an eighth-year club option. Wilson finished second in AL Rookie of the Year voting behind his teammate Nick Kurtz, after hitting .311/.355/.444 with 13 home runs and five steals in 125 games this season. The 23-year-old is an elite contact hitter who has always sported high batting averages in the minors and flashed decent enough power last season. He has graded out as a below-average defender at shortstop in each of the last two seasons and may eventually need to move to second base, but this contract is fair value for a player with his hit tool. The A’s now have Wilson, Brent Rooker, Tyler Soderstrom, and Lawrence Butler under long-term contracts, with Nick Kurtz still on his rookie deal. That’s a solid offensive foundation.

The Nationals just claimed him off waivers on Wednesday, but will now move on after claiming George Soriano on Friday. The 24-year-old Cheng will try to latch on somewhere else.
