  • CHC Starting Pitcher #26

    Cubs signed LHP Austin Gomber to a minor league contract.
    Gomber receives a fresh start in Chicago after being released by the Rockies back in late August after five lackluster seasons. The 31-year-old lefty struggled to a bloated 7.49 ERA across 57 2/3 innings over 12 starts earlier this season. He’ll presumably head to Triple-A Iowa to close out the final month as a bit of a reclamation project.
  • LAA Infield #10

    Yoan Moncada told reporters on Sunday that he dropped 20 pounds over the offseason with the intention of staying healthier for the duration of the 2026 season.
    The 30-year-old infielder hasn’t appeared in more than 100 games in a season since 2022, so anything that he can do to improve his health and durability is a welcomed development. Whether or not his new sleek physique will translate to better offensive performance remains to be seen.
    Carroll, Lindor, Holliday all injure hamate bones
    Eric Samulski dives into the rash of hamate bone injuries affecting MLB stars, sharing the latest news regarding Corbin Carroll, Jackson Holliday and Francisco Lindor, who all will miss time with hamate bone injuries.
  • TB Pitcher #63
    Rays’ manager Kevin Cash told reporters on Sunday that right-hander Edwin Uceta will not pitch for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic due to a “cranky shoulder”.
    The issue is believed to be minor and isn’t expected to impact Uceta’s availability for the start of the regular season. The 28-year-old hurler is one of many options that’s expected to fight for save chances at the back end of the Rays’ bullpen in 2026.
  • TEX Outfield #24
    Rangers’ manager Skip Schumaker told reporters on Sunday that Brandon Nimmo is likely to function as the team’s leadoff hitter in 2026.
    That was always the expectation, but it’s nice to hear the skipper confirm it. Schumaker also noted that Nimmo will play right field. Nimmo had a terrific season for the Mets in 2025, slashing .262/.324/.436 with 25 long balls, 92 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 652 plate appearances.
  • SF Relief Pitcher #99
    Giants placed RHP Rowan Wick on the 60-day injured list.
    Since Wick is expected to miss the bulk of the 2026 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, this move was an inevitability. Doing so now clears a spot on the Giants’ 40-man roster for the addition of Will Brennan on Sunday. Wick signed a one-year deal with a club option for 2027 earlier in the week.
  • SF Right Fielder #17
    Giants signed OF Will Brennan to a one-year contract.
    No word yet on the financial terms of the contract. Brennan, 28, underwent surgery back in May to repair a torn UCL but is fully recovered and ready to go for spring training. Barring a disastrous showing in Cactus League play, he should crack the Giants’ Opening Day roster.
  • ATL Left Fielder #7
    Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports that Jurickson Profar underwent surgery to repair a sports hernia in November.
    The procedure required six weeks of recovery time. The 32-year-old outfielder noted that he began feeling discomfort in September and it continued to linger as he started his offseason workout routine. He’s reportedly fully recovered now and enters spring training without any restrictions. Profar hit .245/.353/.434 with 14 homers, 43 RBI and nine stolen bases in 318 at-bats with the Braves during the 2025 season while missing 80 games due to a PED suspension.
  • TEX Left Fielder #21
    Rangers signed 1B/OF Mark Canha to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
    The 37-year-old struggled mightily during his time with the Royals in 2025, slashing a meager .212/.272/.265 with just one homer, six RBI and a 24/7 K/BB ratio across 125 plate appearances and was ultimately released in August. He’ll see if he has anything left in the tank as he fights for a bench spot on the Rangers’ Opening Day roster.
  • AZ Starting Pitcher #23
    Diamondbacks re-signed RHP Zac Gallen to a one-year, $22.025 million contract.
    The 30-year-old hurler will wind up getting the same guarantee that he turned down when declining the qualifying offer that the Diamondbacks made to him in November, though $14 million of that will be deferred as Gallen will receive $2.8 million per year starting in 2031. His return helps to solidify the Diamondbacks’ rotation.
  • KC 1st Baseman #18
    Astros signed INF/OF Cavan Biggio to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
    The versatile 30-year-old will head into Cactus League play looking to secure a bench spot on the Astros’ Opening Day roster. Biggio hit just .174/.296/.246 with one homer, four RBI and a 21/11 K/BB ratio across 83 plate appearances with the Royals during the 2025 campaign.
  • WSH Relief Pitcher #58
    Nationals signed LHP Cionel Pérez to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
    The New York Post’s Jon Heyman adds that Pérez will earn $1.9 million with $700,000 in additional incentives if he makes Washington’s roster. The 29-year-old southpaw struggled this past season, spending most of it at the Triple-A level but was a mainstay in Baltimore’s relief mix during each of the previous three seasons dating back to 2022. He represents an interesting low-risk addition for the rebuilding Nationals as a middle relief option.
