    Cody Bollinger went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts against the Phillies on Monday.
    Bellinger is in the middle of a 2-for-19 slump over his last five games. It hasn’t been a great season for him with a .263 average, 18 home runs and 73 RBI. Bellinger has five games to end it on a high note before heading into an offseason where he has a decision to make on the looming player option in his contract.

    Rockies re-signed RHP Luis Amoroso to a minor league contract.
    The 24-year-old right-hander had another rough season on the surface in 2024 — registering a 4.80 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and a 31/17 K/BB ratio over 45 innings at High-A Spokane. He has some of the best stuff in the Rockies’ organization though and they’re hopeful that there’s a big breakout on the horizon.
  • LAA Catcher #16
    Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports that the Rays had expressed interest in a reunion with Travis d’Arnaud before the 35-year-old backstop signed a two-year, $12 million contract with the Angels.
    The veteran catcher played in 92 games for the Rays during the 2019 campaign where he slashed .263/.323/.459 with 16 long balls and 67 RBI. While they were unsuccessful in bringing him back, it shows that the Rays are looking to improve behind the plate. Expect them to continue to explore the free agent market and the trade front for upgrades at the position.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher
    Dodgers signed RHP Justin Jarvis to a minor league contract.
    Jarvis is best known for being the player the Mets got from the Brewers for Mark Canha at the 2023 trade deadline. The 24-year-old had a 4.55 ERA in 10 starts and 18 relief appearances between the Mets’ Double- and Triple-A teams last season, winding up with an 84/30 K/BB in 87 innings.
  • WAS Starting Pitcher
    Dustin Saenz pitched four innings of one-run ball for the win as the Salt River Rafters edged the Surprise Saguaros 3-2 on Saturday to claim the AFL championship.
    Saenz got the nod in the title game after going 2-1 with a 5.52 ERA and a 12/4 K/BB over 14 2/3 innings in the regular season. That line is nothing special, of course, but he did better the overall league ERA of 5.89 in the circuit this year. Saenz, a Texas A&M product drafted in the fourth round in 2021, was limited to 13 starts during the minor league season, finishing 1-6 with a 6.54 ERA and a 30/17 K/BB in 42 2/3 innings. A left-hander who relies on an 89-92 mph sinker, he’ll be available in the Rule 5 draft next month unless the Nationals make a surprising decision to add him to the 40-man roster this week.
  • KC First Baseman
    Jac Caglianone went 3-for-4 with a walk in the AFL championship game on Saturday.
    All three hits were on grounders and only one was a hard-hit ball, but that’s fine. Not counting last night, Caglianone hit .236/.300/.449 with five homers and 21 RBI over 21 regular-season AFL games. The sixth overall pick in the 2024 draft, he could open next season in Double-A.
  • TEX Relief Pitcher #68
    Marc Church struck out three over two perfect innings in Saturday’s AFL championship game.
    This one doesn’t count as an official AFL outing, but if it did, Church would have finished up with a 3.11 ERA and a 13/1 K/BB ratio over 8 2/3 innings. He has a chance of emerging as a setup man or perhaps even a closing candidate for the Rangers next year.
  • FA Starting Pitcher #28
    Nick Martinez will accept the Reds’ $21.05 million qualifying offer, according to Francys Romero.
    Martinez would have been in line for a nice two-year deal without the qualifying offer hanging over his head, but as is, he’s probably best off taking the $21 million. He’ll rejoin Hunter Greene, Andrew Abbott and Nick Lodolo in the Reds rotation, leaving one spot for Graham Ashcraft, Rhett Lowder, Carson Spiers or anyone else the team might bring in this winter.
    Where will Juan Soto, Pete Alonso, and Corbin Burnes sign this offseason?
  • STL Shortstop #4
    Cardinals signed INF/OF José Barrero to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
    A former top prospect, Barrero spent 2024 with the Rangers’ organization, and struggled to a .188 average and .477 OPS with Triple-A Round Rock. That was over a sample of just 49 games due to injury, and the Cardinals will hope Barrero can add some solid depth up the middle for the 2025 campaign at a low cost.
  • FA Starting Pitcher #40
    Will Sammon of The Athletic reports that Luis Severino is ‘unlikely’ to accept the qualifying offer.
    If Severino was to take the offer, he’d be paid $21.05 million for 2025. The right-hander instead will be looking for a multi-year deal that will likely pay him a similar amount per year, but on a long-term deal. Severino was good in 2024 with a 3.91 ERA and 161/60 K/BB over 182 innings with the Mets, so there should be a strong market.
  • INT Relief Pitcher #58
    Drew Anderson re-signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract with the SSG Landers of the Korean Baseball Organization.
    Anderson signed in Korea back in April, and the 30-year-old will remain overseas for at least the 2025 campaign.
