    Blue Jays' Tyler Rogers: Inks three-year pact with Jays

    Rogers signed a three-year, $37 million contract with the Blue Jays on Friday that includes a vesting option for 2029, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

    After bolstering their rotation by signing Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce earlier this offseason, the Blue Jays now add an elite back-end bullpen arm in the form of Rogers. The 34-year-old righty enjoyed one of his best MLB seasons in 2025, logging a 1.98 ERA and 0.94 WHIP across 77.1 innings between the Giants and Mets. Given Jeff Hoffman's struggles as Toronto's primary closer this past season (4.37 ERA), there's a chance that Rogers takes over as the club's primary ninth-inning option.

  • Chase Lee RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Chase Lee: Shipped to Toronto

    The Tigers traded Lee to the Blue Jays on Friday in exchange for Johan Simon, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

    Lee reached the big leagues for the first time in 2025 and finished the regular season with a 4.10 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 37.1 innings. He'll now help bolster Toronto's bullpen, but he's unlikely to work as more than a middle-relief option.

  • Jose Cuas RP | PHI

    Royals' Jose Cuas: Returns to Royals

    The Royals signed Cuas to a minor-league contract Friday.

    Cuas spent all of the 2025 season in the minors after collecting a 4.37 ERA and 122:69 K:BB over 119.1 frames at the major-league level from 2022-2024. The first one-and-a-half of those seasons was spent with the Royals. Cuas should be ticketed for Triple-A Omaha to begin the 2026 campaign.

  • Bryce Jarvis RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Scrubbed from 40-man roster

    The Diamondbacks designated Jarvis for assignment Friday.

    The transaction frees up a 40-man roster spot for Michael Soroka, whose signing was officially announced Friday. Jarvis has a 3.69 ERA over 105 innings at the major-league level, but that's come with an unappetizing 71:52 K:BB.

  • Ryan Rolison RP | CHW

    White Sox's Ryan Rolison: Claimed by White Sox

    The White Sox claimed Rolison off waivers from Atlanta on Friday.

    Atlanta designated Rolison for assignment Thursday and he's quickly been scooped up off waivers. The lefty held a 7.02 ERA and 25:20 K:BB over 42.1 innings with the Rockies in 2025. Rolison will compete for a role in the Opening Day bullpen, but he has minor-league options remaining so the White Sox could send him to Triple-A Charlotte if he doesn't make the club.

  • Guardians' Colin Holderman: Nets one-year deal with Cleveland

    The Guardians signed Holderman to a one-year, $1.5 million contract Thursday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    Holderman was non-tendered by the Pirates in November following a disastrous 2025 season that saw him collect a 7.01 ERA and 18:16 K:BB over 25.2 innings. The 30-year-old reliever entered the season with a career 3.58 ERA and 23.8 percent strikeout rate, so he's a good bet to bounce back to some degree in 2026 in a new setting. The Guardians will have multiple years of control, as Holderman will be eligible for salary arbitration in 2027 and 2028.

  • Hoby Milner RP | CHC

    Cubs' Hoby Milner: Lands one-year deal with Cubs

    The Cubs signed Milner to a one-year, $3.75 million contract Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

    Milner will be reunited with manager Craig Counsell, who he pitched for in three of his four years with the Brewers. The left-handed reliever spent the 2025 campaign with the Rangers, collecting a 3.84 ERA, 51.4 percent groundball rate and 58:21 K:BB over 70.1 frames.

  • Ryan Rolison RP | CHW

    Braves' Ryan Rolison: Removed from 40-man roster

    Atlanta designated Rolison for assignment Thursday.

    The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Robert Suarez, who was signed to a three-year deal. Rolison was just acquired from Colorado for cash considerations last month after he had been removed from the Rockies' 40-man roster. He posted a 7.02 ERA and 25:20 K:BB over 42.1 innings in 2025.

  • Robert Suarez RP | ATL

    Braves' Robert Suarez: Grabs $45 million deal from Atlanta

    Atlanta signed Suarez to a three-year, $45 million contract Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    Atlanta re-signed Raisel Iglesias to a one-year, $16 million contract earlier this offseason, but it wasn't done with high-leverage reliever additions. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic says Iglesias will remain the team's closer for the upcoming season, with Suarez settling into a setup role. Suarez has put up a 2.87 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 134:32 K:BB over 134.2 regular-season innings since the start of the 2024, collecting 76 saves along the way.

  • Mark Leiter RP | ATH

    Athletics' Mark Leiter: Agrees to terms with Athletics

    The Athletics signed Leiter to a one-year, $3 million contract Thursday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

    Leiter was non-tendered by the Yankees last month after posting a 4.84 ERA and 1.53 WHIP over 48.1 regular-season innings in 2025, but a 3.55 FIP and 54:17 were encouraging. He's collected a 28.3 percent strikeout rate over the past four regular seasons and could be in the mix for saves as part of an unsettled Athletics bullpen.
