Lowe raised his batting average to .244 with the three-hit effort. He has a .784 OPS and 58 RBI on the year. Lowe has hit at least 20 home runs in three of the last four seasons. There are club options in Lowe’s contract for the 2025 and 2026 seasons.

Wilson heads to the open market after refusing an outright assignment from the Brewers following his removal from the club’s 40-man roster. The 26-year-old righty posted a serviceable 4.04 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 82/31 K/BB ratio across 104 2/3 innings (34 appearances, nine starts) for Milwaukee.

Bauers has opted to hit the open market in search of a new opportunity rather than accept an outright assignment to Triple-A following his removal from Milwaukee’s 40-man roster. The 29-year-old posted a pedestrian .662 OPS with 12 homers and 13 stolen bases in 116 games this past season for the Brewers.

Zastryzny pitched to a stellar 1.17 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 5/1 K/BB ratio across 7 2/3 innings (nine appearances, three starts) last year for the Brewers before landing on the shelf with left elbow tendinities in late July. The 32-year-old southpaw will bolster Chicago’s organizational relief depth heading into the offseason.

Herget has been booted from Chicago’s 40-man roster to make room for lefty reliever Rob Zastryzny. The 31-year-old journeyman righty made eight relief appearances last year for the Braves.

Kingery has been officially added to Los Angeles’ 40-man roster after being acquired last week from the Phillies. The 30-year-old hasn’t appeared in the big leagues since the 2022 campaign, but posted a 25-homer, 25-steal campaign last year at the Triple-A level. He could carve out a versatile utility role with the Angels, who seem willing to give him a look in spring training.

Rosenberg has been booted from Los Angeles’ 40-man roster to make room for recently acquired utility specialist Scott Kingery. The 29-year-old lefty made 17 appearances (five starts) over the last three seasons for the Angels.

Ellis got into 11 contests last year between the Yankees and White Sox. The 26-year-old speedster has been removed from New York’s 40-man roster, but will remain with the club as extra depth.

Let’s just say we saw this one coming. Gonzales is expected to miss a significant portion of next season after undergoing flexor tendon surgery on his left elbow back in late August. The 32-year-old southpaw will head to free agency after making just seven starts in his lone season with the Pirates.

Montas will collect a $2 million buyout and head to the open market in search of a long-term financial commitment after settling last offseason for a one-year pact with the Reds. The 31-year-old righty recorded a respectable 4.84 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 148/66 K/BB ratio across 150 2/3 innings (30 starts) between the Reds and Brewers. The fact that he’s eliminated any lingering health concerns should allow him to land a long-term deal.

Sweet heads to Philadelphia after spending all of last year at Triple-A Toledo in Detroit’s system, finishing with a solid 3.91 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 111/38 K/BB ratio across 76 innings (52 appearances). The 28-year-old righty made seven appearances during the 2023 season between the Mariners and Athletics.
