Jack Flaherty

FA Starting Pitcher #0

According to Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic, free agent right-hander Jack Flaherty is open to considering a short-term contract with a high average annual value.

The market has been surprisingly quiet on Flaherty over the past couple of weeks, though the Blue Jays, Cubs, Giants and Tigers have been mentioned as teams that were in the mix for his services. If it’s a short-term deal, that could open up the possibilities even further. It’s entirely possible that Flaherty is waiting until Roki Sasaki ultimately signs, to drive up the urgency of the teams that miss out.
Nick Anderson

FA Relief Pitcher #63

Ari Alexander of KPRC2 reports that the Twins are among the teams interested in free agent right-hander Nick Anderson.

Alexander notes that the Twins will be one of at least 10 teams that plan on attending Anderson’s pro day on January 23. The 34-year-old hurler appeared in 37 games out of the Royals’ bullpen during the 2024 season, registering a 4.04 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 29/15 K/BB ratio across 35 2/3 innings.
John Means

FA Starting Pitcher #47

According to Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports, the Orioles have maintained interest in bringing back free agent southpaw John Means.

The 31-year-old hurler underwent his second Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery in June and will miss most, if not all, of the 2025 season while recovering. Wherever he ultimately does sign, expect it to be a two-year pact so the team can take advantage of a full and healthy season from him.
Brooks Raley

FA Relief Pitcher #25

Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic report that the Cubs and Yankees are among the teams looking into free-agent reliever Brooks Raley.

Raley underwent Tommy John surgery with an internal brace procedure at the end of May, so he won’t be ready to pitch until near the end of 2025 at the earliest. The 36-year-old southpaw has been effective over the last two-plus seasons, and is likely looking at a two-year deal since he won’t be of much use this summer.
Jorge Lopez

FA Relief Pitcher #41

Jorge López is signing with the Nationals, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.

The New York Post’s Jon Heyman says López will be guaranteed $3 million. As long as they don’t stop here, López is a decent enough addition to the Nationals bullpen. The 31-year-old had a 2.89 ERA and a 50/19 K/BB in 53 innings for the Mets and Cubs last season. He probably rates as the current favorite for saves in D.C., but we imagine they’ll add at least one superior option before camp opens.
Jeff Hoffman

FA Relief Pitcher #23

Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports that the Blue Jays have had “productive talks” on a multi-year contract with free agent right-hander Jeff Hoffman.

The 32-year-old hurler is seeking a deal in the same range as the three-year, $38 million pact that Clay Holmes signed with the Mets earlier this winter. It makes sense, as both are bullpen aces who are looking to transition back to the starting rotation this season. It honestly looks like Hoffman would be a bargain at that price and he would represent a strong addition to the Jays’ rotation if they’re able to get a deal done.
Colin Rea

FA Starting Pitcher #48

Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors reports that the Cubs are signing Colin Rea to a one-year contract.

That contract will reportedly pay him $5 million, which is $500,000 less than the $5.5 million team option that the Brewers declined. instead Rea got a $1 million buyout, so that on top of his new deal has him out ahead. Jesse Rogers of ESPN notes that there’s also a club option for 2026. The 34-year-old forged a 135/43 K/BB over 167 2/3 innings with a 4.29 ERA and 12-6 record for Milwaukee last season. Rea should occupy one of the backend spots of the Chicago rotation, but at this salary he also could be a multi-inning reliever if Chicago wants to go that route.
Pete Alonso

FA First Baseman #20

Sources told former Mets GM Jim Duquette that Pete Alonso has offered to do a three-year deal with opt outs with the Mets.

Duquette says Alonso is only willing to do this deal with the Mets right now. No acceptable long-term offers have emerged for the 30-year-old first baseman. The Angels emerged as a suitor, but most of the deep pocketed teams have chosen to look elsewhere.
Andrew Kittredge

FA Relief Pitcher #27

Andrew Kittredge is signing a one-year, $10 million deal with the Orioles, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.

Kittredge will get $9 million this year and either $9 million or a $1 million buyout in 2026. The 34-year-old Kittredge was one of the NL’s top setup men last year, picking up 37 holds with a 2.80 ERA for the Cardinals. However, his peripherals weren’t as strong, leaving him with a 3.96 FIP and a 4.05 xERA. He’ll battle Yannier Cano and Seranthony Domínguez for eighth-inning duties in Baltimore, assuming that Felíx Bautista proves healthy.
Carlos Estevez

FA Relief Pitcher #53

Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports that the Reds are among the teams interested in free agent right-hander Carlos Estévez.

The Phillies, Yankees and Red Sox have each been connected to the 32-year-old hurler at various points this off-season, and now the Reds have been added to the mix. What’s unclear, is if the Reds would view him as an option to supplant Alexis Diaz as their closer or if they want him to work in a setup capacity. His fantasy value will ultimately lie on whether or not he pitches in the ninth inning.
