Enns will miss the final weekend of the regular season while away on paternity leave. The 34-year-old southpaw wraps up the season with a respectable 4.08 ERA and 49/15 K/BB ratio across 46 1/3 innings over 24 appearances split between the Tigers and Orioles.

The report says it’s probably worth more than $100 million. Of course, it’s going to be tough for the Pirates to land a free agent like Schwarber, not only because they’re the Pirates but also because their ballpark isn’t very hitter friendly and especially not home run friendly (although at least it’s better for lefties than righties in that regard). As they’ve already done once this winter, their best hope is probably to trade pitching for hitting and then perhaps they could spend to fortify their rotation afterwards.

Pretty stunning. Needing to be included on 12 to make the Hall of Fame, Kent was named on 14 of the 16 ballots. Carlos Delgado, who was one-and-done on the BBWAA ballot, received nine votes, and both Don Mattingly and Dale Murphy were chosen by six Committee members. Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Gary Sheffield and Fernando Valenzuela were listed on fewer than five ballots and thus won’t be eligible to make the 2028 ballot when this committee for post-1980 players is up again. Many suspected that Mattingly was the favorite today, especially given the makeup of the committee (none of the seven players included played beyond the mid-90s). Kent definitely had a better case by the numbers, hitting .290/.356/.500 over 17 big-league seasons. His 377 homers are the most ever from someone whose primary position was second base.

Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen said last month that trading Marte is unlikely to occur this offseason, but teams are always open to listening to offers. The 32-year-old franchise cornerstone recorded a robust .893 OPS with 28 round-trippers across 126 games. He remains an elite second baseman for fantasy purposes regardless of his landing spot and will be an early-round selection in all drafts next spring.

The 25-year-old outfielder spent the first seven years of his minor league career in the Pirates’ organization. In 2025, Bowen slashed .272/.353/.449 with nine homers, 37 RBI and 20 stolen bases in 366 plate appearances across four minor league levels.

The versatile 34-year-old is currently recovering after undergoing surgery on his left elbow in mid-November. Even if he does wind up back with the Dodgers in a bench role, he can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

The Rays needed to clear a spot on their roster to make room for the addition of Cedric Mullins and unfortunately it looks like Curet drew the short straw this time around. The 23-year-old hurler posted a 3.90 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and a 62/31 K/BB ratio over 55 1/3 innings across three minor league levels in 2025.

The deal, which was agreed to earlier in the week, also includes a $10 million mutual option for the 2027 season with a $500,000 buyout. Yoniel Curet was designated for assignment in a corresponding move to clear a spot on the Rays’ 40-man roster. Mullins should see regular action against right-handed pitching with the Rays in 2026.

The 23-year-old was sent outright to Triple-A Albuquerque, but rather than accepting the outright assignment Bernabel will explore his options on the open market. He hit .252/.288/.410 with four homers, 14 RBI and a 25/7 K/BB ratio over 146 plate appearances with the Rockies in 2025. It shouldn’t take him long to find another opportunity.

Lyon, 21, was a 10th round selection by the Mariners from the 2025 draft class. He made just four starts at Single-A Modesto after finishing up his collegiate season in 2025, posting a 7.30 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and a 15/3 K/BB ratio over 12 1/3 innings. He’s at least a couple of years away from being an option to help the Nationals.

The 22-year-old backstop was the 12th overall pick from the 2021 draft. Ford spent most of the 2025 season at Triple-A Tacoma where he slashed a healthy .283/.408/.460 with 16 homers, 74 RBI and seven stolen bases in 458 plate appearances. With the struggles of Keibert Ruiz and the rest of the Nationals’ catching depth being unsettled, the door is open for Ford to seize a significant role on the club’s Opening Day roster, which could lead to fantasy relevance.
