Snead has been jettisoned from Seattle’s 40-man roster after making 11 relief appearances in the majors since early May. The 29-year-old lefty figures to attract some interest on waivers.

Arenado is still owed $74 million over the next three seasons, and the 33-year-old has seen his numbers decrease since leaving the friendly confines of Coors Field. The Cardinals would likely need to eat a significant amount of salary in order to get a quality return, but teams who need third baseman should have interest as he’s still a strong defender and capable of above-average offensive numbers.

The deal will pay Montero $850,000 with a $400,00 signing bonus. Elehuris was outrighted off the Colorado roster after hitting just .228/.277/.387 in 2024 with the Rockies, and the 26-year-old will try and get his career back on the upswing with at least one year in Japan.

The Mets announced those operations for Taylor on Friday, and also said that the average timeline for return for both operations was around two months. That should put the outfielder back in plenty of time for spring training, but obviously a complication with either injury could see that timeline change.

Dunn didn’t pitch in 2024 after undergoing surgery in 2024 on his right shoulder. The former top prospect will head to Chicago in hopes of winning a spot on the Chicago pitching staff, but more than likely the 29-year-old will just provide some organizational depth.

It was thought the two sides were working on a multiyear deal, but that hasn’t come to fruition, at least not yet. Boone’s Yankees reached the World Series last season, losing in five games to the Dodgers. His team is 603-429 in his seven years at the helm, but just 22-23 in six postseason appearances.

The Halos needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster for Kyle Hendricks and unfortunately Miller was the odd-man out this time around. The 28-year-old right-hander made his big-league debut with the Angels in 2024, registering a 4.15 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and an 11/8 K/BB ratio over his 13 frames. There’s a decent chance that he’ll pass through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as extra bullpen depth for the Angels at the Triple-A level.

The deal, which was agreed to on Wednesday, is now official. The 34-year-old hurler struggled to a 5.92 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and an 87/43 K/BB ratio over 130 2/3 innings in 29 appearances (24 starts) for the Cubs during the 2024 season. While he’s not a frontline starter, the Angels need all of the help that they can get in their starting rotation and Hendricks should prove to be a valuable innings eater. The major lack of strikeouts make him irrelevant in most fantasy formats.

The 32-year-old right-hander has been working out in Texas since the summer and is hopeful for a return to a big-league rotation in 2025. The last time we saw Syndergaard on the mound he registered a 6.50 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and a 56/19 K/BB ratio across 88 2/3 innings between the Guardians and Dodgers during the 2023 campaign. Stranger things have happened, but Syndergaard’s return to fantasy relevance seems highly unlikely.

It’s no secret that Crochet’s name has come up in a plethora of trade discussions, so Getz is running with it and admitting that he wants young position players in return. It doesn’t sound like he’s in any hurry to make a move though and noted that “the right players have to be there” and that they “can’t force anything”. Where there’s this much smoke, there’s usually fire, so it would be a surprise if the 25-year-old southpaw opened up the season in a White Sox’ jersey.

The 26-year-old southpaw had a very rough go at High-A Quad Cities during the 2024 season, registering an uninspiring 7.84 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and a 47/44 K/BB ratio across 31 innings. He has a very intriguing arm, but he still has a lot of work to do in order to harness his stuff.
