All Player News

Nick Martinez

FA Relief Pitcher #21

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that the Reds are in agreement with free agent right-hander Nick Martinez on a two-year, $26 million contract.

The contract includes an opt-out after the first year, much like the contract the Reds agreed to with fellow free agent Emilio Pagán. Martinez had a solid 2023 season in 63 appearances for the Padres, including nine starts. He posted a 3.43 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 106 strikeouts in 110 1/3 innings. He opted out of the last two years and $16 million of his deal with San Diego to become a free agent and will now perhaps get a chance to start in Cincinnati. If not, he’ll serve as a valuable multi-inning reliever out of the bullpen.
Jackson Stephens

Atl Relief Pitcher #53

Braves re-signed RHP Jackson Stephens to a one-year contract.

It’s a non-guaranteed split contract for Stephens, but he’s back on Atlanta’s 40-man roster after electing free agency earlier this month. The 29-year-old righty reliever made just five appearances this past season in the big leagues. He’s extra organizational depth for the Braves heading into next season.
Penn Murfee

Atl Relief Pitcher #56

Braves re-signed RHP Penn Murfee to a one-year contract.

No word on the exact financial terms, but it’s a split contract for Murfee, who was non-tendered by the Braves just a few weeks ago after being claimed off waivers from the division-rival Mets. The 29-year-old righty reliever isn’t expected to be ready to contribute until midseason after undergoing right elbow surgery back in late June.
Jaime Barria

Cle Starting Pitcher #51

Guardians signed RHP Jaime Barria to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Barria heads to Cleveland to compete in spring training for a spot on the Guardians’ season-opening roster. The 27-year-old right-hander struggled to a lackluster 5.68 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 62/30 K/BB ratio across 82 1/3 innings (34 appearances, six starts) this past season for the Angels. He’ll likely operate in a versatile swingman-type role for Cleveland this upcoming season.
Joey Wendle

FA Shortstop #18

MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand reports the Mets are in agreement with free agent infielder Joey Wendle on a one-year, $2 million contract.

The deal, which is pending a physical, will bring Wendle to Queens after spending the last two seasons with the division-rival Marlins where he posted an underwhelming .610 OPS with five homers and 19 steals across 689 plate appearances over 213 contests. The 33-year-old veteran infielder still offers plenty of defensive versatility, which makes him ideal for a utility role, but he’s not going to make much of an impact at the dish for New York. His presence could make it more difficult for some of the Mets’ top prospects to make their season-opening roster.
Sam Carlson

Mil Relief Pitcher #34

Brewers signed RHP Sam Carlson to a minor league contract.

Carlson, who made the announcement himself on social media, was a second-round pick of the Mariners back in 2017 and has yet to reach the majors. The 24-year-old righty converted to relief full-time this past season, posting a lackluster 5.25 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 61/20 K/BB ratio across 48 innings (39 appearances) for High-A Everett.
Luis Severino

FA Starting Pitcher #40

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports the Mets and free agent right-hander Luis Severino are finalizing a one-year, $13 million contract.

Severino heads to Queens as a high-risk, high-upside speculative gamble, following a disastrous 2023 campaign for the Yankees that resulted in a bloated 6.65 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 79/34 K/BB ratio across 89 1/3 innings (19 appearances, 18 starts). The 29-year-old right-hander owns an extensive injury history, but has been a upper-echelon starter — and near-elite fantasy contributor — when healthy in the recent past. He’s a worthwhile gamble for the Mets as a reclamation project and will be a decent late-round lottery ticket for fantasy managers in drafts next spring.
Devin Williams

Mil Relief Pitcher #38

Devin Williams was named the 2023 National League Reliever of the Year.

Williams receives the prestigious honor for the second time in his career after recording a career-high 36 saves to accompany a microscopic 1.53 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 87/28 K/BB ratio across 58 2/3 innings (61 appearances). The 29-year-old right-hander has a real case to be the first reliever off the board in fantasy drafts next spring as a likely top-50 pick.
Felix Bautista

Bal Relief Pitcher #74

Félix Bautista was named the 2023 American League Reliever of the Year.

Bautista takes home the top honor in the America League, despite missing the final five weeks of the 2023 campaign due to a partially-torn UCL in his right elbow, after posting a sublime 1.48 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 110/26 K/BB ratio across 61 innings (56 appearances). The hard-throwing 28-year-old right-hander will likely remain sidelined until the outset of the 2025 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last month.
Armando Alvarez

Oak Third Baseman

Athletics signed INF Armando Alvarez to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Alvarez put up some impressive numbers this past season for Triple-A Sacramento in the Giants’ minor league system, slashing .308/.379/.581 with 18 homers and eight steals across 298 plate appearances in 74 contests. The 29-year-old corner infielder will compete in spring training for a role with the Athletics, but will likely open the year at Triple-A Las Vegas.
