Wade Miley

FA Starting Pitcher #20

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Brewers are showing interest in free-agent left-hander Wade Miley.

Miley surprisingly declined his $10 million mutual option earlier this offseason, but it seems like he and the Brewers are looking to reunite. The 37-year-old posted a 3.14 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 79/38 K/BB ratio across 120 1/3 innings (23 starts) last year for the Brew Crew. With Milwaukee cutting ties with Brandon Woodruff and rumored to be in the market to trade their ace, Corbin Burnes, adding an innings eater like Miley seems like an ideal move for the Brewers.
Joe Kelly

FA Relief Pitcher #17

FanSided’s Robert Murray and The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya report the Dodgers are nearing a deal to re-sign free agent right-hander Joe Kelly.

It certainly sounds like Kelly will return for yet another stint with the Dodgers just a few weeks after the club declined his $9.5 million team option for 2024. The 35-year-old reliever split last year between the Dodgers and White Sox, but looked extremely sharp after being shipped back to Los Angeles at the trade deadline.
Robert Stephenson

FA Relief Pitcher #26

MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reports the Orioles are showing interest in free agent right-hander Robert Stephenson.

Stephenson, who posted a sparkling 2.35 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and 60/8 K/BB ratio across 38 1/3 innings (42 appearances) following an early-season trade to Tampa Bay from the Pirates, was extremely effective this past season as a high-leverage specialist with the division-rival Rays and would make a ton of sense for Baltimore as an insurance policy behind relief ace Yennier Cano with All-Star closer Félix Bautista set to miss the 2024 campaign following Tommy John surgery.
Shohei Ohtani

FA Starting Pitcher #17

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports the Dodgers, Cubs, Blue Jays and Angels remain in the mix to sign free agent superstar Shohei Ohtani.

Passan adds that the Giants remain a possibility, while also noting that the Rangers, Mets and Red Sox have pulled out of the Ohtani sweepstakes. The New York Post’s Jon Heyman speculated Friday that the Dodgers remain the favorites to land the 29-year-old two-way superstar, but he added that there appear to be five teams with a “legitimate chance” to land the generational talent. It’s unclear whether Ohtani will make his final decision this week at baseball’s annual Winter Meetings, but his process figures to have significant ramifications on the rest of the free agent market. Stay tuned.
Lucas Giolito

FA Starting Pitcher #24

According to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, the Dodgers have expressed interest in free agent right-hander Lucas Giolito.

Once considered among the top starting pitchers in all of baseball, the 29-year-old hurler has fallen on hard times over the past two years. He registered a miserable 8-15 record, 4.88 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 204/73 K/BB ratio across 184 1/3 innings between the White Sox, Angels and Guardians in 2023. If any organization can fix him though, it’s probably the Dodgers. They’re casting a wide net in their search for upgrades to their starting rotation — as they’ve also been linked to Jack Flaherty and Seth Lugo, in addition to their high-profile pursuits of Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani.
Martin Maldonado

FA Catcher #15

Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports that the White Sox, Marlins and Padres have all expressed some level of interest in free agent backstop Martín Maldonado.

Mark Feinsand of MLB.com had noted in November that at least 4-5 teams had already touched base with Maldonado, with the Astros expressing their desire to retain the glove-first catcher. The 37-year-old flailed to a .191/.258/.348 slash line with 15 long balls and 36 RBI across 407 plate appearances with the Astros in 2023.
Shohei Ohtani

FA Starting Pitcher #17

Shohei Ohtani won the 2023 Outstanding Designated Hitter Award.

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.
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.
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 deal includes an opt-out after the first year, much like the contract the Reds agreed to earlier this week 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.
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.
