  • David Fry DH | CLE

    Guardians' David Fry: Lands contract from Cleveland

    Fry (face) agreed to a one-year, $1.38 million contract with the Guardians on Friday to avoid arbitration, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Fry had a tough 2025 season, as he was initially sidelined until the end of May while recovering from an elbow injury. His season ended in late September after being hit in the face by a pitch, though that isn't expected to affect his 2026 campaign. In between, Fry struggled to a .171/.229/.363 line across 157 plate appearances.

  • Michael Toglia 1B | COL

    Michael Toglia: Officially parts ways with Rockies

    The Rockies non-tendered Toglia on Friday.

    After finishing the 2024 season with a .767 OPS, Toglia's offensive production dropped dramatically in 2025, as he finished the year slashing .190/.258/.353 across 337 plate appearances. Most of the 27-year-old's struggles came on the road, as he posted just a .481 OPS across 178 plate appearances away from Coors Field, which doesn't exactly help his chances of finding regular big-league work with any of the other 29 clubs.

  • Sam Haggerty LF | TEX

    Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Secures deal for 2026

    Haggerty agreed to a one-year contract with the Rangers on Friday, avoiding arbitration.

    Haggerty inked a minor-league deal with Texas in February and was up in the big leagues six weeks into the regular season. The 31-year-old primarily worked in a utility role and had a .253/.328/.370 slash line with 12 steals and 31 runs in 181 plate appearances.

  • Nolan Jones RF | CLE

    Guardians' Nolan Jones: Agrees to deal

    Jones (oblique) agreed to a one-year, $2 million contract with the Guardians on Friday to avoid arbitration, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Jones' season regular-season ended a few days early due to an oblique injury, an issue that also sidelined him for the postseason. He spent the entire 2025 season in the majors and accrued 403 plate appearances, though he managed only a .600 OPS with five homers and eight stolen bases.

  • Nick Frasso SP | LAD

    Nick Frasso: Non-tendered by Dodgers

    The Dodgers non-tendered Frasso (undisclosed) on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Frasso spent all of 2025 at Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he accumulated a 5.49 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over 77 innings before ending the season on the 60-day IL with an unknown injury. The 27-year-old has yet to make his MLB debut, and his injury status remains unknown as he enters the free-agent market.

  • Carson Ragsdale: Cut by Atlanta

    Atlanta non-tendered Ragsdale on Friday.

    Ragsdale started the 2025 season as a member of San Francisco's organization before spending time with Baltimore and Atlanta. Across three teams in Triple-A, he went 7-8 across 19 starts (and 26 games) and posted a 5.22 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 77:48 K:BB across 89.2 innings. Ragsdale will look to join a team in need of right-handed depth on the pitching staff, and while he's spent most of his time in the minors as a starter, he would likely be utilized out of the bullpen in the majors.

  • Ramon Urias 2B | HOU

    Ramon Urias: Becomes free agent

    The Astros non-tendered Urias on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    The decision to non-tender Urias became expected after the Astros pushed him off the 40-man roster Tuesday. The 31-year-old infielder finished the 2025 campaign slashing .241/.292/.384 through 391 plate appearances between the Orioles and Astros, and his defense should be enough to net him another big-league contract in the offseason.

  • Alek Manoah SP | ATL

    Alek Manoah: Let go by Atlanta

    Manoah was non-tendered by Atlanta on Friday.

    Manoah ended the 2025 campaign as a member of Atlanta's organization after being designated for assignment by Toronto in late September. He spent the majority of this past season recovering from UCL surgery on his right elbow that he underwent in June of 2024, and he was cleared to make his first rehab start in July. Manoah was reinstated from the 60-day injured list prior to being let go by the Blue Jays, so if he does catch on with a team for 2026, he'll have an opportunity to make his case for a spot on an Opening Day roster during spring training.

  • Tim Elko 1B | CHW

    Tim Elko: Parts ways with White Sox

    The White Sox did not tender Elko (knee) a contract for 2026 on Friday, making him a free agent.

    Elko made his MLB debut in 2025 and had a .134/.194/.328 slash line in 72 plate appearances. He underwent surgery in October to repair a torn ACL in his right knee, so he'll be unavailable to begin the 2026 campaign.

  • Astros' Taylor Trammell: Gets new deal from Astros

    Trammell signed a one-year, split contract with the Astros on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Trammell's contract will pay him $900,000 if he's in the majors, per Chandler Rome of The Athletic. The 28-year-old finished 2025 with a .197/.296/.333 slash line over 135 plate appearances and will likely have to fight to make the big-league roster during spring training.
