MLB Player News

Zuber elected free agency Saturday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Zuber made 10 appearances in the majors in 2025, allowing 15 earned runs over just 12 innings. He finished the Triple-A season with a 5.45 ERA and 1.53 WHIP across 38 frames and will likely be limited to minor-league contract offers this winter.

Tarnok elected free agency Saturday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Tarnok was outrighted off Miami's 40-man roster Wednesday. Now a free agent, the 26-year-old righty could receive a fair amount of attention after posting a 3.28 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 68.2 innings at Triple-A Jacksonville and allowing just two runs while striking out 10 batters across 7.1 MLB frames in 2025.

Tinoco (elbow) elected free agency Saturday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Tinoco was outrighted off the Marlins' 40-man roster Wednesday and will now enter the open market while he recovers from a UCL surgery he underwent in September. He's expected to take the mound again in 2027.

Bellozo elected free agency Saturday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Bellozo will enter the free-agent market after being outrighted off the Marlins' 40-man roster Wednesday. The 25-year-old posted a 4.65 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 81.1 innings in 2025 and has worked as both a starter and reliever during his time in the majors.

Dubin (elbow) elected to become a free agent Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Dubin cleared waivers after being removed from the Orioles' 40-man roster but has opted for free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment to the minors. The right-handed reliever ended the season on the injured list with elbow discomfort, and it's unclear what his current health situation is.

The Dodgers outrighted Grove (shoulder) to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

Grove missed the 2025 season while recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. It's uncertain whether he will be ready for the start of the 2026 season, and he will have to fight his way back onto the 40-man roster.

Wright elected to become a free agent Friday.

Wright cleared waivers after being removed from the Royals' 40-man roster earlier this week, and he's decided to exercise his right to free agency. The right-hander didn't pitch at all in 2024 after undergoing right shoulder surgery and made only eight rehab starts in 2025 due to a strained oblique. Wright is healthy now but faces an uncertain free-agent market.

Long elected to become a free agent Friday.

The Royals booted Long off their 40-man roster and he has decided to test out free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment to the minors. Long pitched well for Kansas City in 2024 but struggled in 2025, posting a 5.36 ERA and 33:22 K:BB over 40.1 innings.

Pope was sent outright to Triple-A Reno and elected free agency Thursday.

Pope was removed from Arizona's 40-man roster Thursday and opted for free agency rather than accept an assignment to Reno. He made his big-league debut with two scoreless frames late in 2025 after posting a 4.71 ERA at Triple-A.

Vargas elected free agency Thursday.

Vargas recorded 121 plate appearances with the Diamondbacks in 2025 but lost his roster spot as the team had to move several players onto the 40-man roster. His defensive utility should help him land another contract for 2026, though he's hardly guaranteed to net a big-league deal.
