Carlos Santana

FA First Baseman #30

Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that the Guardians are signing Carlos Santana to a one-year deal for $12 million.

This was announced just minutes after the reports that Josh Naylor was going to be traded to the Diamondbacks. The 38-year-old got his MLB start with the Guardians, and he’s remained a productive hitter in his long career. A switch-hitter, Santana will likely play some first base and see time at designated hitter, with Kyle Manzardo likely seeing some time at both positions for the Guardians as well.
Dietrich Enns

FA Starting Pitcher #75

Dietrich Enns, who spent the last three seasons pitching in Asia, said he is signing with the Tigers.

Enns, 33, made a handful of major league appearances for the Twins in 2017 and the Rays in 2021 before trying his luck in Japan. He went 10-7 with a 2.94 ERA in his first year for Seibu, only to follow it up by going 1-10 with a 5.17 ERA in 2023. He then moved on to Korea last season and went 13-6 with a 4.19 ERA and a 157/50 K/BB in 167 2/3 innings for the LG Twins. The Tigers are pretty well stocked when it comes to starting pitching depth, so Enns will likely open up in the Triple-A rotation.
Paul Goldschmidt

FA First Baseman #46

The Yankees and Paul Goldschmidt have come to terms on a one-year, $12.5 million deal, according to the New York Post’s Jon Heyman.

That’s one more hole filled for the Yankees. The 37-year-old Goldschmidt is in obvious decline, but he did perk up some in the second half of last season, hitting .271/.319/.480. He’ll have to get used to hitting low in the order in New York, but that process did already somewhat start with the Cardinals. With Ben Rice out of the first base picture now, it will be interesting to see if he’s given a shot at the backup catcher gig in spring training. The problem there, though, is that both he and Austin Wells are left-handed hitters.
Noah Davis

FA Relief Pitcher #63

Noah Davis wrote on Instagram that he’s agreed to a deal with the Red Sox.

It’s likely a minor league deal. Davis, who has been working out at Driveline, spent the last 3 1/2 years in the Rockies organization, amassing a 7.71 ERA in six starts and 12 relief appearances at the big-league level. He’s mostly started in the minors, but the Red Sox will likely want to take a look at him as a reliever.
Paul Goldschmidt

FA First Baseman #46

The New York Post’s Jon Heyman says free agent Paul Goldschmidt is expected to choose his destination soon.

Heyman lists most of the same apparent suitors as Bob Nightengale did Friday, though he also lumps in the Diamondbacks with the Yankees, Mariners, Giants and Mets. Nightengale also said the Nationals might be a possibility. The Yankees seem like the favorites here, though they’d surely prefer a one-year deal. Goldschmidt appears to be aiming for a two-year pact.
Paul Goldschmidt

FA First Baseman #46

According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Yankees remain interested in free agent first baseman Paul Goldschmidt.

It seems as though the Yankees were still in on Christian Walker after acquiring Cody Bellinger from the Cubs, so the fact that they’re still in the market for a first baseman isn’t terribly surprising. It seems their intention is to play Cody Bellinger in center field if they’re able to land a first baseman, and shift him to first base if they can’t. Nightengale notes that the Mariners, Giants, Nationals and Mets are all currently engaged in talks with Goldschmidt as well, so the Bombers face plenty of competition in their pursuit.
Eric Wagaman

FA First Baseman #34

Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase reports that the Marlins have agreed to a one-year contract with free agent infielder Eric Wagaman.

The expectation had been that Wagaman would have to settle for a minor league contract, so it’ll be interesting to see if it’s actually a major league deal or some sort of split contract when the Marlins ultimately announce it. For his part, the 27-year-old held his own during his time with the Angels during the 2024 season — slashing .250/.270/.403 with a pair of homers, 10 RBI and a 17/2 K/BB ratio in 74 plate appearances.
Christian Walker

FA First Baseman #53

Ari Alexander of KPRC in Houston reports that the Astros are signing Christian Walker to a three-year, $60 million contract.

Ken Rosenthal and Chandler Rome of The Athletic reported that the deal was close earlier Friday, and now it appears to be wrapped up, pending a physical. Walker has spent his entire career with the Diamondbacks, and the 33-year-old hit 26 homers with an .803 OPS in 2024 with Arizona over 130 games. He’ll hit in the middle of the order for Houston, and even with no Kyle Tucker, there should be solid opportunities for run production in the Astros’ lineup.
Christian Walker

FA First Baseman #53

Chandler Rome and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic report that the Astros are progressing towards a deal with free agent first baseman Christian Walker.

Mark Feinsand of MLB.com says that the deal is “at the 10 yard line” so this could happen soon. Walker, 33, is one of the top free agent bats on the market and the Astros got little to no production from the first base position in 2024. It seems like a strong fit on paper, and Walker’s power from the right side should play well in the Crawford Boxes — assuming the deal does get done, of course.
Patrick Sandoval

FA Starting Pitcher #43

The Red Sox are signing Patrick Sandoval to a two-year, $18.25 million contract, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

He’ll get $5.5 million in 2025 and $12.75 million in 2026, which means Sandoval has probably made out better in terms of his new contract than any non-tendered player ever. The rehabbing lefty was projected for a $5.9 million salary next season by Matt Swartz, and he would not have been in line for a big raise in 2026, which was slated to be his final year prior to free agency, after missing at least the first half of 2025 following Tommy John. Sandoval was 2-8 with a 5.08 ERA for the Angels before getting hurt last season, but he had typically solid strikeout and groundball rates. He has a career 4.01 ERA in 100 starts and seven relief appearances, all coming with the Angels.
