Latest Player News

All Player News

Michael A. Taylor

FA Center Fielder #2

The Mets have shown interest in Michael A. Taylor, according to SNY’s Andy Martino.

Taylor might be a fallback for the Mets if they can’t get Jung Hoo Lee. They figure to add at least one outfielder this winter to go along with Brandon Nimmo, Starling Marte and DJ Stewart.
Joe Kelly

FA Relief Pitcher #17

Joe Kelly’s one-year deal with the Dodgers is worth $8 million, according to The Athletic’s Jim Bowden.

That means the Dodgers will have saved just $500,000 from declining his $9.5 million option, which included a $1 million buyout. Kelly would have done better than this if only he seemed more likely to remain healthy. He’s 35 now, but his stuff is about as good as ever.
Tyler O'Neill

StL Right Fielder #27

The Cardinals are shopping Tyler O’Neill and Dylan Carlson, according to The Athletic’s Katie Woo.

Unfortunately for them, teams appear to be more interested in Lars Nootbaar. O’Neill is entering his walk year and has thoroughly disappointed apart from his stellar 2021 season. Carlson is eligible for arbitration for the first time, though he won’t make much after struggling in 76 games last season. If the Cardinals move an outfielder, it’d seem to make it more likely that Masyn Winn will get to stay in the majors. As is, he’s set to compete with Tommy Edman at short, but Edman can always go back to center.
Dylan Cease

CWS Starting Pitcher #84

The Orioles remain in the mix to acquire Dylan Cease from the White Sox, according to MASN’s Roch Kubatko.

Jordan Westburg is one possibility to go to the White Sox in such a deal. The Braves and Dodgers are also known to have engaged the White Sox for Cease, and expectations are that Cease will be moved in the coming weeks.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto

INT Starting Pitcher

Yoshinobu Yamamoto is slated to travel to the United States to begin meeting with teams “within the next week,” according to the New York Post’s Mike Puma.

It sounds like these get togethers with the finalists for his services will happen after the winter meetings. The San Francisco Chronicle’s Susan Slusser wrote yesterday that some believe the Giants are in the lead for Yamamoto. The Dodgers, Mets and Yankees are among the other clubs showing interest in the 25-year-old ace.
Jung Hoo Lee

INT Outfielder

Jung Hoo Lee’s posting window is beginning Tuesday at 8 a.m. EST.

The Mets, Yankees and Giants are among the teams interested in Lee. The Padres will also likely enter the mix if they trade Juan Soto, especially if the deal also includes Trent Grisham. Lee hit .318/.406/.455 for the Kiwoom Heroes of Korea last season.
Jarred Kelenic

Atl Center Fielder #10

Braves acquired OF Jarred Kelenic, LHP Marco Gonzales and 1B Evan White from the Mariners for RHP Jackson Kowar and RHP Cole Phillips.

The Mariners better have something planned here, because this, on top of the Eugenio Suárez trade, is awfully discouraging. Kelenic’s breakout 2023 did rather fall apart after an incredible April, but he’s still just 24 and he offers ample power. Moving him in order to dump a pair of bad contracts really didn’t seem to be on the docket. The Braves figure to have him replace Eddie Rosario as the left fielder against right-handers. Perhaps Vaughn Grissom could still figure into the mix as a starter against lefties and a backup option elsewhere, but he’ll also be prime trade bait if the Braves want to improve their rotation.
Marco Gonzales

Atl Starting Pitcher #7

Marco Gonzales was traded from the Mariners to the Braves in a five-player deal.

We’re not fans of this trade for Seattle, but the bright spot for Mariners fans is that the possibility of Bryan Woo getting sent to the minors to save room for Gonzales in the rotation is gone. Gonzales, 31, underwent elbow surgery after posting a 5.22 ERA in 10 starts last season. He’s expected to be ready for Opening Day, and it’s possible he’ll step in as the Braves’ fifth starter if no better options present themselves.
Evan White

Atl First Baseman #12

Evan White was traded from the Mariners to the Braves in a five-player deal.

White, who signed a six-year, $24 million deal prior to his major league debut with the Mariners, is just a salary dump at this point. The 27-year-old has dealt with several injuries, and he’s coming off hip surgery after playing in just two games last season. Perhaps there’s still some chance that he’ll contribute to a major league team at some point, but he’s not going to be in Atlanta’s plans. In moving him, the Mariners are saving $17 million.
Jackson Kowar

Sea Relief Pitcher #37

Mariners acquired RHP Jackson Kowar and RHP Cole Phillips from the Braves for OF Jarred Kelenic, LHP Marco Gonzales and 1B Evan White.

The Braves had just picked up Kowar from the Royals for the injured Kyle Wright last month. The 27-year-old has a sterling 9.12 ERA in eight starts and 31 relief appearances as a major leaguer over the last three seasons. There still might be some hope for him as a reliever, but he doesn’t seem like much of an option as a starter at this point.
