Peguero was traded from the Angels to the Brewers on Tuesday along with Janson Junk and Adam Seminaris in exchange for Hunter Renfroe.

Peguero has appeared in 16 games for the Angels over the past two seasons but has struggled in his first taste of the majors with 13 earned runs allowed across 17.1 innings. The 25-year-old pitched well at Triple-A last year with a 2.84 ERA and will now attempt to find his footing in a new organization.

The Giants declined to tender Young a contract for 2023.

Young opened eyes with his performance as a rookie with Arizona in 2019 (3.56 ERA, 1.19 WHIP over 83.1 innings), but it's been mostly downhill since. To his credit, the left-hander put up a 2.39 ERA in 24 appearances with the Giants after joining the team via trade in July, though the front office clearly wasn't buying it.

The Giants declined to tender Llovera (elbow) a contract for 2023.

Llovera's contract was selected in late April and he was up and down between levels over the subsequent few months, pitching to a 4.41 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB over 16.1 innings during his time with the big club. A Grade 2 right flexor strain ended his season and it may ultimately end his time in the Giants organization.

Duarte agreed to a minor-league contract with the Reds on Friday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The Reds non-tendered Duarte earlier in the day, but evidently there were no hard feelings. It wasn't immediately clear whether the deal includes an invitation to spring training, but it seems likely that Duarte will be with the big-league squad, at least to start camp.

The Reds traded Moreta to the Pirates on Friday in exchange for infielder Kevin Newman.

Moreta was on the shuttle between Triple-A and the majors throughout last season, making 35 appearances for the big-league team (one start) and another 28 for Louisville. The 26-year-old right-hander averaged 96 mph with his fastball in the majors last season and can pull the string with the slider and changeup around 85-88 mph.

The Rays traded Guerra to the Brewers on Friday in exchange for a player to be named later, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

While the Rays didn't see Guerra as worthy of a 40-man roster spot, the Brewers will welcome the 27-year-old righty (not to be confused with the 37-year-old, 11-year MLB veteran of the same name). Milwaukee will be hoping he can refine his command and control a bit.

Herget agreed to a minor-league contract with the Reds on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander will be in camp with Cincinnati as a non-roster invitee. Herget, 31, pitched in independent ball in 2021 and 2022 before the Rays brought him. He leaned on his changeup more than any other pitch during him brief time with Tampa Bay last season.

The Reds declined to tender Duarte a contract for 2023, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

An elbow injury cost Duarte a large chunk of last season and the Reds opted not to bring him back to the big-league roster after he completed his rehab. Duarte ended up throwing just 2.2 innings in his first season in the majors.

Suter agreed to terms with Colorado on Friday, signing a one-year, $3 million contract to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Suter played his seventh MLB campaign for the Brewers last season, pitching in 54 games as a reliever and posting a 3.78 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 53:22 K:BB over 66.2 innings. He was claimed off waivers by the Rockies on Friday and quickly agreed to terms with the club for the 2023 campaign. Given Colorado's bullpen woes last year, Suter should begin next season in a high-leverage role, possibly as the primary setup man ahead of closer Daniel Bard.

Floro avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.9 million contract with the Marlins on Friday, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

Floro supplanted Tanner Scott as Miami's closer late last season and finished with 10 saves, seven of which came in the final month of the campaign. He could retain that role in 2023, though it's also possible that the Marlins acquire a reliever with more overpowering stuff to work the ninth inning. Despite the fact that he doesn't post big strikeout numbers, Floro has been a solid contributor since joining Miami in 2021, racking up 25 saves and 16 holds while recording a 2.91 ERA over 117.2 relief innings.
