Shohei Ohtani

FA Starting Pitcher #17

Shohei Ohtani was named the 2023 American League Most Outstanding Designated Hitter.

Ohtani takes home the prestigious honor for the third consecutive season after slashing a sublime .412/.654/1.066 with an American League-leading 44 homers and 20 stolen bases across 599 plate appearances in 135 games. The 29-year-old two-way superstar is in the midst of determining where he’ll take his once-in-a-generation talents for the 2024 campaign and beyond, but will remain one of the most fearsome sluggers in the game, regardless of where he ultimately winds up.
Austin Adams

NYM Relief Pitcher #55

Mets signed RHP Austin Adams to a one-year contract.

No word on the exact financial terms yet, but Adams augments New York’s low-leverage relief depth heading into the 2024 campaign on a non-guaranteed split contract. The 32-year-old righty, who threw his slider nearly 90 percent of the time this past season for the Diamondbacks, posted an underwhelming 5.71 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 22/8 K/BB ratio across 17 1/3 innings (24 appearances) before undergoing season-ending right ankle surgery in early August. He’s a relatively low-risk gamble for Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns as he puts together New York’s relief mix.
Joey Wendle

NYM Shortstop #18

Mets signed INF Joey Wendle to a one-year, $2 million contract.

The deal is now official after Wendle passed his physical. The soon-to-be 34-year-old provides the Mets with an experienced and versatile utility infielder to supplement their young core of infield prospects heading into the 2024 campaign. He’s coming off a pair of disappointing seasons at the dish for the division-rival Marlins, but was a roughly league-average hitter earlier in his career. He’s unlikely to garner enough at-bats to make an impact for fantasy managers outside of NL-only formats.
Kyle Tyler

Mia Relief Pitcher #63

Marlins signed RHP Kyle Tyler to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Tyler was at the epicenter of a bizarre series of transactions prior to the 2022 season when he bounced around on waivers between several organizations. The 26-year-old righty spent last year in Seattle’s minor league system and has made seven relief appearances in the big leagues since 2021 between the Padres and Angels.
Austin Adams

FA Relief Pitcher #55

MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand reports the Mets are signing free agent right-hander Austin Adams to a one-year contract.

It’s a bit surprising to see Adams, who is recovering from early-August surgery to repair a fractured right ankle, landing a major league contract after posting a lackluster 5.71 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 22/8 K/BB ratio across 17 1/3 innings (24 appearances) this past season for the Diamondbacks. The 32-year-old righty, who threw his slider nearly 90 percent of the time last year in Arizona, will bolster New York’s bullpen depth as a low-leverage innings-eater.
Jose Cruz

SF Relief Pitcher #68

Giants re-signed RHP José Cruz to a minor league contract.

Cruz was non-tendered by the Giants earlier this month, but quickly wound up re-signing with San Francisco as extra organizational relief depth. The 23-year-old righty has yet to reach the majors and struggled mightily this past season at Double-A Richmond.
Ronny Mauricio

NYM Shortstop #60

Ronny Mauricio will make his Dominican Winter League debut on Thursday.

Mauricio will take the field at the hot corner for the Tigers del Licey this offseason as he prepares to compete next spring for a spot on New York’s season-opening roster. The 22-year-old prospect turned heads in his late-season debut during the 2023 campaign, posting two homers and seven steals in 26 games for the Mets down the home stretch. He’ll generate plenty of buzz next spring as a late-round sleeper candidate with a strong performance in Grapefruit League action.
Nicholas Padilla

CWS Relief Pitcher #61

White Sox sent RHP Nicholas Padilla outright to Triple-A Charlotte.

Padilla has been shipped to the minors after passing through waivers unclaimed to free up a spot on Chicago’s 40-man roster. There’s no corresponding roster move at this time, but it could be a precursor to a potential trade or signing.
Adam Haseley

FA Center Fielder #51

White Sox OF Adam Haseley has elected free agency.

Haseley went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week following Chicago’s decision to ink veteran infielder Paul DeJong to a one-year pact. The 27-year-old should be able to latch on somewhere else this offseason as a reserve outfielder.
Jose Espada

SD Relief Pitcher

Padres re-signed RHP Jose Espada to a minor league contract.

The deal presumably also includes an invitation to spring training. The 26-year-old righty, who was non-tendered earlier this month, sipped a quick cup of coffee with San Diego this past season, making one lone late-September relief appearance. He’ll continue to serve as extra organizational relief depth after compiling a sparkling 2.81 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 110/44 K/BB ratio across 83 1/3 innings (35 appearances, nine starts) last year for Triple-A El Paso.
