  • Tommy Henry SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Back with Arizona on NRI deal

    The Diamondbacks re-signed Henry (elbow) to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training Monday.

    Henry was non-tendered by Arizona last month, but the two sides have reunited on a minor-league pact. The left-hander missed much of 2025 due to injury and could be out for all of next season following Tommy John surgery in June. Henry holds a career 5.07 ERA over 37 appearances (32 starts) at the big-league level.

  • Danny Young RP | ATL

    Braves' Danny Young: Inks split contract with Atlanta

    Atlanta signed Young (elbow) to a one-year contract Tuesday.

    It's a split contract for Young, who will miss at least the first half of the 2026 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The left-handed reliever holds a career 4.01 ERA and 78:25 K:BB over 60.2 innings covering parts of four major-league seasons, which includes stints in Atlanta in 2022 and 2023.

  • Devin Williams RP | NYM

    Mets' Devin Williams: Joining Mets on three-year deal

    Williams agreed to a three-year contract with the Mets on Monday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Williams will remain in New York but is headed to Queens following Monday's signing. The 31-year-old had his fair share of struggles with the Yankees during the 2025 campaign, ending the year with four blown saves in 22 chances and ultimately losing his grip on the closer's role. He finished the regular season with a 4.79 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with a 90:25 K:BB across 62.0 frames. Williams will receive a fresh start with the Mets on a deal that will guarantee him more than $50 million, per Jeff Passan of ESPN.com.

  • Sam Hentges RP | SF

    Giants' Sam Hentges: Latches on with Giants

    The Giants signed Hentges (shoulder/knee) to a one-year, $1.4 million contract Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    Non-tendered by the Guardians last week, Hentges missed the entire 2025 season while recovering from left shoulder surgery and also underwent arthroscopic right knee surgery in September. The expectation is that he will be ready for spring training. Hentges could be a weapon for the Giants if he can regain his pre-surgery form, as he held a 2.93 ERA and 155:42 K:BB over 138 regular-season innings from 2022-to-2024 after being moved to a relief role.

  • Tyler Zuber RP | MIA

    Marlins' Tyler Zuber: Returns to Miami on MiLB deal

    The Marlins re-signed Zuber to a minor-league contract Wednesday.

    Zuber got into 10 games between the Mets and Marlins in 2025, yielding 15 runs over 12 frames. The 30-year-old reliever has a career 6.26 ERA at the big-league level but has struck out 73 across 64.2 innings. Zuber is likely to start next season at Triple-A Jacksonville.

  • Joe Jimenez RP | ATL

    Braves' Joe Jimenez: Underwent another knee surgery

    Atlanta president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said last week that Jimenez recently underwent a cleanup procedure on his left knee, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    Jimenez had surgery last November to address cartilage damage in the knee, and he wound up requiring another operation on the same knee following a setback. The reliever missed the entire 2025 season, and Anthopoulos noted that a timetable for Jimenez won't become clearer until late December or January. Jimenez -- who is owed $9 million in 2026 in his final year under contract -- boasts a 2.81 ERA, 30.1 percent strikeout rate and 7.2 percent walk rate in his two regular seasons with Atlanta and should be in line for high-leverage bullpen work in 2026, if healthy.

  • Robert Stock RP | BOS

    Mets' Robert Stock: Latches on with Mets

    Stock signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Tuesday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

    Stock saw major-league action for the first time since 2021 this past season and gave up three earned runs over 2.2 innings with the Red Sox. He was more successful at Triple-A Worcester, finishing the year with a 3.92 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 85 frames. He will most likely begin 2026 at Triple-A Syracuse.

  • Kyle Leahy RP | STL

    Cardinals' Kyle Leahy: Expected to capture rotation spot

    Leahy is expected to open the 2026 season in the Cardinals' rotation, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    The trade of Sonny Gray to the Red Sox further depleted St. Louis' rotation depth, and, barring a poor showing during spring training, it sounds like Leahy will win one of the five rotation slots. Leahy threw three innings in the Cardinals' final regular season game in 2025 in what was his first-ever start at the major-league level. He did work multiple frames out of the bullpen often this season, but Leahy has not been used as a starter regularly since 2022. If he is indeed in the rotation in 2026, some workload restrictions are likely to be in place,

  • Rockies' Parker Mushinski: Gets NRI deal from Rockies

    The Rockies signed Mushinski to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training Monday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Mushinski spent the entirety of the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Columbus in the Guardians organization, holding a 3.78 ERA and 66:33 K:BB over 50 innings. The lefty reliever has made 31 appearances at the big-league level, collecting a 5.45 ERA and 26:12 K:BB across 33 frames. Mushinski will compete for a spot in Colorado's Opening Day bullpen but will likely begin the year at Triple-A Albuquerque.

  • Joel Payamps RP | ATL

    Braves' Joel Payamps: Back with Atlanta on one-year deal

    Atlanta signed Payamps to a one-year, $2.25 million contract Sunday.

    Payamps joined Atlanta as a waiver claim in late September and was outrighted to Triple-A on Nov. 6. That move was likely made by the team to avoid an arbitration hearing, as the $2.25 million agreed to by the sides Sunday is probably less than what the veteran reliever would have received in arbitration. Regardless, Payamps now seems ticketed for a role in Atlanta's bullpen in 2026. He's had plenty of major-league success but will be looking to rebound from a career-worst 2025 campaign during which he posted a 6.84 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB over 26.1 innings across 30 appearances between Atlanta and Milwaukee.
