  • Cameron Booser RP | CHW

    Cam Booser: Non-tendered by CWS

    The White Sox did not tender Booser a contract for 2026 on Friday.

    Booser was acquired from the Red Sox last winter and made 39 appearances for the White Sox in 2025, finishing with a 5.52 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 35:19 K:BB over 31 innings.

  • Danny Young RP | NYM

    Danny Young: Officially let go by Mets

    The Mets non-tendered Young on Friday.

    Young made the Mets' Opening Day roster, but his 2025 season was cut short after undergoing Tommy John Surgery in May. If he does manage to sign with a team, he's unlikely to be healthy enough to contribute until at least the second half of the 2026 campaign.

  • Astros' Enyel De Los Santos: Sticking with Houston

    De Los Santos signed a one-year contract with the Astros on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    De Los Santos put up a 4.03 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 22.1 innings after signing with the Astros in August, and his new deal will ensure he remains in the organization for the start of the 2026 campaign -- likely serving as a middle reliever.

  • Mike Tauchman RF | CHW

    Mike Tauchman: Let go by White Sox

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

    The veteran outfielder had a .756 OPS and nine homers for Chicago last season, but he was limited to 93 games due to injuries. Tauchman has a .740 OPS across the past three seasons and should be able to land a big-league contract for 2026, though he's likely best suited as more of a No. 4 outfielder.

  • Jose Castillo RP | BAL

    Jose Castillo: Non-tendered by Mets

    The Mets non-tendered Castillo on Friday.

    Just two weeks after claiming Castillo off waivers from Baltimore, the Mets will now send him into free agency. The 29-year-old southpaw posted a 3.94 ERA and 1.69 WHIP across 32 innings between four different teams in 2025. He'll now have an opportunity to pick where he begins the 2026 campaign, though he may have to settle for a minor-league deal.

  • Jacob Webb RP | TEX

    Jacob Webb: Cut loose by Texas

    The Rangers non-tendered Webb on Friday.

    Webb signed a one-year deal with the Rangers in December after spending the 2024 campaign with the Orioles, but the 32-year-old right-hander will now be on the lookout for a team in need of bullpen depth. He finished the 2025 regular season with seven holds along with a 3.00 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 58:19 K:BB across 66 innings.

  • Derek Hill CF | CHW

    White Sox's Derek Hill: Reaches deal for 2026

    Hill agreed to a one-year, $900,000 contract with the White Sox on Friday, avoiding arbitration.

    The 29-year-old outfielder was claimed off waivers from the Marlins during the final week of the season. Hill played in 57 games between the two clubs in 2025 and had a .216/.281/.328 slash line and 32.2 percent strikeout rate. He'll likely serve as a depth outfielder for Chicago to begin 2026.

  • Josh Sborz RP | TEX

    Josh Sborz: Non-tendered by Texas

    The Rangers non-tendered Sborz on Friday.

    Sborz started the 2025 season on the 60-day injured list after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder in November of 2024. He was able to begin a rehab stint in July but was unable to progress enough in his recovery to see major-league action. Sborz will now enter free agency and will look to sign with a team in need of right-handed depth out of the bullpen.

  • Jake Fraley RF | ATL

    Jake Fraley: Let go by Rays

    Fraley was non-tendered by the Rays on Friday, Steve Carney of StPeteNine.com reports.

    Fraley was designated for assignment by the Rays only two weeks after being claimed off waivers. Fraley has had at least a .700 OPS in five consecutive seasons but has also struggled to remain healthy, which will likely limit him to a very modest contract.

  • Christopher Morel: No contract from Rays

    Morel was not tendered by the Rays on Friday, Steve Carney of StPeteNine.com reports.

    Morel was designated for assignment by the Rays on Tuesday but theoretically could have stayed in the organization after clearing waivers. He's now a free agent and could have to settle for a minor-league deal after struggling across the last two seasons.
