Bloom: Cardinals Still Seeking Outfield Addition

By Steve Adams | February 3, 2026 at 2:09pm CDT

The Cardinals’ offseason has primarily focused on subtracting veterans from the big league roster as the club embarks on a rebuild, but with yesterday’s Brendan Donovan trade now complete, most of the heavy lifting on the sell side of things has been complete. And although the main goals for president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom have been to restock the farm and trim payroll, the Cards could still have a few smaller-scale acquisitions in them. Bloom indicated at today’s press conference regarding the Donovan trade that he’s still hoping to add to his outfield, be it via free agency or trade (via Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat).

It’s not the first time that Bloom has signaled a desire to add to his outfield. He voiced a desire to add a righty-swinging outfielder prior to the holidays, but those comments are now six weeks old, so it’s of at least some note that he’s still publicly stating that interest. Austin Hays, Harrison Bader, Rob Refsnyder, Willi Castro and Jorge Mateo have all signed elsewhere since Bloom’s past statements. St. Louis had some interest in Hays before he signed with the White Sox, and just this week they agreed to a minor league deal with righty-swinging Nelson Velazquez, who at least provides some righty-hitting depth.

Bloom didn’t specify the “right-handed” portion of that desire this time around, but with an outfield group including lefty swingers Lars Nootbaar, Victor Scott II and Nathan Church, it’d be a sensible pursuit. Right fielder Jordan Walker hits from the right side of the plate, as do infield/outfield options like Thomas Saggese and Jose Fermin, but the Cardinals don’t have any form of somewhat established right-handed-hitting presence in their outfield.

Options at this point are limited, regardless of handedness. If a right-handed bat remains the goal, then any of Miguel Andujar, Austin Slater or old friends Randal Grichuk and Tommy Pham remain available. Trade options are tougher to nail down, particularly with so many names off the board already, but the Cardinals aren’t likely to take on any notable veteran salaries (e.g. Nick Castellanos). Speculatively speaking, the Rays (Jonny DeLuca), Blue Jays (Jonatan Clase), Phillies (Johan Rojas) and Royals (Drew Waters) have some outfield options who have fallen down their depth charts this winter.

It’s still possible that any outfield needs in St. Louis could expand further, too. Nootbaar underwent surgery to remove bone spurs from both heels following the 2025 season and might not be ready for Opening Day, but he’s in the same service class as Donovan (two years of team control remaining) and has drawn interest not only this offseason but at the ’25 deadline and in the 2024-25 offseason. He could boost his stock with a big first half, thus making him a more desirable target for other teams at the ’26 deadline, but hanging onto him also inherently runs the risk of Nootbaar incurring another injury or simply struggling in the wake of that dual procedure on his heels.

Twins Claim Jackson Kowar

By Darragh McDonald | February 3, 2026 at 1:55pm CDT

The Twins have claimed right-hander Jackson Kowar off waivers from the Mariners, according to announcements from both clubs. Seattle had designated him for assignment a week ago when they acquired catcher Jhonny Pereda from the Twins. Minnesota had an open 40-man roster spot for Kowar thanks to trading Edouard Julien to the Rockies last week.

There’s a little bit of musical chairs happening here. The Twins recently signed catcher Victor Caratini and lefty Taylor Rogers, meaning they needed to open two roster spots. They designated Pereda and righty Pierson Ohl for assignment. They traded Pereda to Seattle, which nudged Kowar into DFA limbo. The Twins then traded both Ohl and Julien to the Rockies, getting a minor leaguer and cash while dropping their 40-man count to 39. They have now used that open roster spot to claim Kowar.

The 29-year-old Kowar has big velocity, averaging in the upper 90s with his four-seamer and sinker, but hasn’t yet translated that into major league success. He has 91 big league innings under his belt, split between the Royals and Mariners, allowing 8.21 earned runs per nine. He has walked 13.1% of batters faced, somewhat normal for guys with big heat, but has only punched out 20.3% of opponents. He hasn’t had much success in Triple-A either, with a 4.92 ERA at that level.

Seattle burned Kowar’s final option in 2025, so he is now out of options. Since he hasn’t been able to put up good numbers in the majors or the minors, he got nudged off the roster. For the Twins, they had a roster spot open and they also have huge bullpen questions. As part of their deadline fire sale last year, they traded away Jhoan Duran, Griffin Jax, Louis Varland, Danny Coulombe and Brock Stewart.

They are planning to return to contention in 2026 but haven’t done much to reload the relief corps. Apart from signing the 35-year-old Rogers, their biggest move has been to acquire Eric Orze, who has just 35 big league appearances.

Kowar is a wild card but the big velo is a nice starting point, even if he hasn’t harnessed it yet. He has landed with a club that should have lots of opportunities available. But given his out-of-options status and poor numbers, it’s possible the Twins try to pass him through waivers in the future. He doesn’t have a previous career outright nor three years of big league service time, so he wouldn’t have the right to reject an outright assignment.

Astros, Isaac Paredes Avoid Arbitration

By Steve Adams | February 3, 2026 at 1:37pm CDT

1:37pm: There’s also a 2027 club option on the deal worth $13.35MM, per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. If Paredes finishes top ten in MVP voting, the club option converts to a mutual option. Even if the club/mutual option is eventually not picked up, Paredes will still be under club control for 2027 via arbitration. Most teams have a “file and trial” approach to arbitration, meaning they won’t negotiate one-year deals after the filing deadline. Most post-deadline agreement have an option tacked on to nominally adhere to this policy.

12:13pm: The Astros have avoided an arbitration hearing with infielder Isaac Paredes, reports Chandler Rome of The Athletic. The two parties settled on a one-year deal worth $9.35MM, landing right at the midpoint of the team’s $8.75MM submission and the $9.95MM sum submitted by Paredes’ camp at CAA. Houston and catcher Yainer Diaz had their arbitration hearing yesterday, per the Associated Press. A result is expected today.

Paredes, 27 in a few weeks, came to Houston as part of last winter’s Kyle Tucker blockbuster and enjoyed a solid year in the Astros’ infield. He missed nearly two months due to a hamstring injury but still popped 20 homers while batting .254/.352/.458 over 438 plate appearances when healthy.

While Paredes was on the shelf, Houston reacquired Carlos Correa in a deadline salary dump deal with the Twins. The ’Stros installed Correa at the hot corner in deference to standout shortstop Jeremy Pena. Since Paredes was sidelined into late September, the Astros didn’t have to deal much with the sudden glut of position players they had, but that won’t be the case heading into 2026.

Paredes appears to be a man without a position. Correa and Pena will again man the left side of the infield. The left field experiment for Jose Altuve didn’t prove all that fruitful, and Altuve is expected back at second base for the bulk of 2026. Christian Walker’s first year as an Astro was a disappointment, but he’s signed for two more years and owed another $40MM, so he’ll be back at first base. Yordan Alvarez will see occasional time in left field but will still take the majority of the Astros’ DH at-bats. Prospect Brice Matthews, a natural middle infielder, will likely be pushed to the outfield by the infield logjam.

All of that has led to plenty of speculation about a potential trade, though general manager Dana Brown has said repeatedly that he doesn’t feel obligated to trade from the group. Were there any interest in the remainder of Walker’s deal, perhaps that’d change things, but other clubs have understandably been unwilling to take on that $40MM on the heels of a down season for the 35-year-old.

While there’s no immediate spot for regular at-bats for Paredes, that doesn’t necessarily matter. It takes all of one injury for him to have an everyday spot in the lineup, after all, and even if the entire group stays healthy, he can play fairly regularly by spelling Correa at third, Walker at first, Altuve at second and Alvarez at DH. Correa and Alvarez, in particular, have lengthy injury histories and are prone to missing chunks of time.

This was the third of four trips through the arbitration process for Paredes, a Super Two player. He’s controlled through the 2027 season and will be owed one more arbitration raise next winter. The 27-year-old Diaz is arb-eligible for the first time this winter. He and his reps at PRIME submitted a $4.5MM figure, while the team countered at $3MM.

Marlins Claim Garrett Acton, Designate Victor Mesa Jr. For Assignment

By Darragh McDonald | February 3, 2026 at 1:30pm CDT

The Marlins have claimed right-hander Garrett Acton off waivers from the Marlins, according to announcements from both clubs. Mami designated outfielder Víctor Mesa Jr. for assignment as a corresponding move. Colorado designated Acton for assignment back on January 22nd when they signed Willi Castro. DFA limbo is normally capped at one week. MLBTR has learned that Acton was placed on release waivers and claimed last week. A player claimed off release waivers has the right to reject the assignment while electing free agency and can take five days to make that decision.

Mesa, 24, and his older brother Víctor Víctor Mesa were once notable defectors from Cuba. Their father Víctor Mesa had played in the Cuban National Series for 19 years and coached the Cuban team in the World Baseball Classic. The two sons left the island in 2018 in the hopes of pursuing deals with MLB clubs. Both brothers signed with the Marlins in October of 2018.

At that time, the elder brother was considered the stronger prospect, but things didn’t pan out for him. He never really put up good numbers in the minors. He has been off the radar since June of 2023, when he walked away from the team and hasn’t played anywhere since.

The younger Mesa stuck with the Marlins. The club added him to the 40-man roster in November of 2023 to keep him out of the Rule 5 draft. He got to make his major league debut in 2025, taking 38 plate appearances in 16 games. He put up a .188/.297/.344 line in that small sample.

His numbers in the minors have been a bit better than that but he’s been on the injured list a decent amount. Over the past two years combined, he has taken 579 plate appearances on the farm with 20 home runs, a .266/.330/.437 line and 106 wRC+. He stole nine bases and played all three outfield spots. Prospect evaluators generally see Mesa as a depth outfielder at this point. He still has an option remaining, so perhaps he would be of interest to some other clubs. The Marlins will likely place him on waivers in the coming days.

Acton, 28 in June, also has a very limited major league track record. Between the 2023 Athletics and the 2025 Rays, he has seven big league appearances, having allowed eight earned runs in 6 2/3 innings. He missed the 2024 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. Tampa put him on waivers at the beginning of November 2025, which is when Colorado claimed him.

He’s coming off an encouraging season in the minors. He logged 58 2/3 innings at the Triple-A level, allowing 3.68 earned runs per nine. His 11.4% walk rate was high but he struck out 30.1% of batters faced. He averaged around 94 miles per hour with his four-seamer while also featuring a mid-80s slider and changeup.

Acton still has a couple of options, so it seems the Marlins would rather have him as optionable bullpen depth than have Mesa as optionable outfield depth. If Acton sticks on the roster, he can be shuttled between Jacksonville and Miami fairly freely.

MLBTR Chat Transcript

By Steve Adams | February 3, 2026 at 1:01pm CDT

Steve Adams

  • Good morning! We’ll get going at 1pm CT, but feel free to ask questions ahead of time, as always.
  • Hello there! Let’s get going

Card fan from FL

  • cardinals getting 3 prospects  and two  draft picks for Donavan . What’s your take on the trade

M

  • How do you think the Mariners stack up against the rest of the AL now that they’ve added Donovan?

Bloomer

  • Where will the Cardinals offense come from Steve? This is gonna be a painful long season …..

Steve Adams

  • Not surprisingly, probably 50+ questions queued up on yesterday’s trade haha. I’ll spare you publishing them all and offer some thoughts (while also noting that Darragh and I broke this trade down for about 15 minutes on the episode of the podcast we recorded this morning, so keep an eye/ear out for that tomorrow morning!)
  • Donovan is an ideal fit for a Mariners team that has holes at 2B/3B/one corner OF spot and young options at each. He furthers their goal of cutting back on strikeouts/improving contact, and he does so while maintaining the flexibility/agility needed should any of Colt Emerson, Cole Young, Dom Canzone, etc. really show they need everyday ABs early in the season.
  • I think the Cards did well. They didn’t get a massive, marquee prospect but landed a top-100-ish guy (Cijntje), two recent top-100 draft picks (Peete, Ledbetter) and a pair of top-75 picks in the upcoming draft.Tai Peete (contact) and Colton Ledbetter (lack of any one true standout tool) both have some red flags but are solid additions to the middle tiers of the system. The picks are nice both for adding talent and giving them the flexibility to be creative if a first-round talent slides due to signability concerns.
  • The Rays’ side of this is the strangest to me, but I’ve come around on it. Williamson is a high-floor defender with decent contact skills who can back up at multiple positions. He has multiple minor league options remaining.Rays gave up a Comp pick for three years of a solid middle reliever (Bryan Baker) last July and another for a glove-first utility guy with decent contact skills this offseason. If you could guarantee a team an immediately usable RP or utility guy at the No. 70 pick, that guy would absolutely be scooped up.
  • It’s boring to say it works for everyone, but … I don’t have an immediately negative reaction to any angle of the deal.

Dana Brown

  • Donovan got that much. What could Paredes get?

Steve Adams

  • Probably less. He’s more expensive with no real defensive home and such an extreme pull-side, fly-ball approach that team with more spacious left field setups wouldn’t find him as valuable as the Astros and Rays did, for instance.Good player, don’t get me wrong, but I think Donovan had more trade value.

Logan and Robbie

  • Having Framber behind us makes a ton of sense, right? Right???

Steve Adams

  • Framber makes plenty of sense for the Giants. They’ve also signaled that they don’t want to sign a SP long-term this winter — their owner said as much publicly — and they also already signed a pair of (much lower upside) veterans in Houser and Mahle.I will say, the fit was better before the Giants signed Arraez to play 2B. That’s going to be a rough defensive left side of the infield for Logan Webb and any other ground-ball pitchers (like Valdez)
  • Speaking of which!

Confused Giant

  • Arraez and Devers on one side of the infield has to be one of the worst defensive pairings in baseball. How many grounders through the infield and missed double plays before Logan Webb asks for a trade? I have to believe he’s not getting to 200 innings with the Arraez-Devers defense extending innings. After working to improve the SF defense, is it surprising to see Buster Posey punt on one side of the infield?

Read more

Steve Adams

  • I will just say that while it sounds like Arraez will get the bulk of the 2B time, he’s not going to get all of it. Casey Schmitt can be a late-game upgrade when the Giants are leading. We assume Bryce Eldridge will hit at some point, but will that be right away in ’26, as a 21-year-old? Maybe not. And if that’s the case, then there are 1B/DH at-bats for Arraez as well.Could put him at 1B/DH against LHP and give Schmitt’s RH bat some extra 2B time on those days. Schmitt struggled against LHP in ’25 but was great in a small ’24 sample and is about neutral overall. If nothing else, I’d have Schmitt at 2B on days Webb starts just to get the better glove in the infield.

Mike Hazen

  • What are the chances of me bringing back Paul Goldschmidt and/or Zac Gallen?

Steve Adams

  • Goldy back to AZ makes tons of sense. Gallen feels like he’ll be more expensive than they want

Angels

  • Any Realistic SP options for us?  Giolito?  Bassit?  Little?  And can they be had on a 1yr deal this late in the offseason?

Steve Adams

  • I still think Bassitt gets two. Could see the others as one-year guys. Giolito has said he prefers to sign with a win-now club, though I suppose it remains to be seen if he’ll get an offer from one. Littell to the Angels would make sense.

Tommy

  • Pirates to send Thomas Harrington and Mitch Jebb to the Astros for Isaac Paredes? Would that be enough to get a deal done?

Steve Adams

  • Don’t think so

Three Way Ray

  • This is the Rays’ second three-way deal this offseason.  The first was the Lowe trade. Do they hve a thing for three-ways?

Steve Adams

  • Jon Becker from FanGraphs pointed out that the Rays have been involved on six of the past seven three-team trades in MLB. Amazing.

Frank

  • Giolito to Detroit?

Steve Adams

  • I think they’ll come away with someone in the Giolito, Bassitt, Verlander, Nick Martinez tier

Gregg

  • Do you think the Nats could sign someone like Hoskins or Goldschmidt this offseason to fill their hole at first base?

Steve Adams

  • Either guy works. Ty France, Miguel Andujar, Dom Smith too. Could try to buy low on a guy like Triston Casas (Toboni connection!). Lots of options for them.

John

  • Do you think Colt Emerson will be the Mariners’ opening day 3b now?

Steve Adams

  • He only turned 20 last summer and has still barely played above AA. I don’t think so. Could just put Donovan at 3B to start the year, with Cole Young at 2B. Still have Miles Mastrobuoni, Leo Rivas and some other utility types on the 40-man. M’s could grab a Gio Urshela or whoever on a minor league deal, too, if Cole Young struggles in camp and they want Donovan at 2B to begin the year.

QUBE

  • Any notable RP arms available on the trade market?

Steve Adams

  • Cardinals will probably trade JoJo Romero. Rockies are open on some of their guys (Vodnik, Halvorsen, Mejia). Broadly speaking though, I don’t think there are a ton of obvious RP trade candidates out there.

tyler7.8

  • Miller is not getting traded, correct?

Steve Adams

  • Not sure if this means Mason, Bryce or Aiden, but either way — no, I don’t think so. Ha

Tom

  • Who’s the best lefty reliever still available via trade/free agency?

Steve Adams

  • Danny Coulombe, Justin Wilson, JoJo Romero

Stephen

  • You gotta think throwing at his own catcher has hurt Valdez’s market at this point right?

Steve Adams

  • Not really. I think it’s a convenient narrative, but he’s been hurt more by the fact that he’s a 32-year-old seeking a long-term deal.

Rick

  • Are the Braves going to add a SP before spring training starts?

Steve Adams

  • I don’t know if it’ll be before pitchers and catchers report, but I expect them to add another arm at some point in the not-too-distant future. Might be early in camp, but whatever.
  • One feasible hold-up in the mid-tier rotation market could be Tarik Skubal’s arb case.Tigers are probably going to add another arm but have a $13MM gap between their submission and Skubal’s. I imagine that impacts the quality of the arm they’re going to target/sign.

    If you’re Giolito, Bassitt, Verlander, Littell, etc. and are still unsigned at this point, might as well wait to see how aggressive the Tigers feel they can be post-Skubal trial.

    His trial is set for tomorrow, by the way.

Patrick

  • Should I be worried about the Tiger’s inaction? They’re almost surely losing all of Skubal, Mize, and Flaherty after 2026. Am I crazy or are the White Sox poised to overtake them by 2027-2028?

Steve Adams

  • Yes, I would be worried about their inertia. I think they had one of the most disappointing deadlines of any contender and have thus far had one of the most disappointing offseasons. They have one year of Skubal left and have shown zero urgency. I guess maybe “worried” isn’t the correct word, but you’re right to be frustrated.That said, I wouldn’t be fretting that they’re destined to fall back to the AL Central cellar or anything. They have two of the game’s top 10 prospects, several controllable arms, and some good core pieces still under club control (Greene, Tork, Dingler, Olson, Melton, etc. etc.)
  • Also wouldn’t count on the White Sox emerging just yet. They had the best farm in baseball several years ago and were rebuilding again like three years later.Rebuilds usually look great when all the prospects are getting the top-100 love and whatnot, but a lot of those guys are going to get hurt, fail to perform or just settle in as fine-but-not-star-caliber players.

Chet Lemon

  • How does Kevin Alcantara figure into the Cubs plans? I’d like to see him as the 4OF, but i feel like he needs regular playing time. Happ and Suzuki may be gone next year.

Steve Adams

  • I feel like he’s a guy they could trade eventually. I’m not all that bullish on him, honestly. He’s had two seasons in AAA and struck out at a 29% clip in both.Power/speed combo is intriguing, but I wonder if he’ll ever hit enough.

    Not saying DFA him or anything, but he might just be more of a fourth outfielder in the long run.

    If they don’t trade him, then yeah, regular work in AAA to try to cut back on the chase and whiff rates would be good. He feels like a guy who’d strike out at like a 35% clip in MLB right now

Bigly Fish

  • Jakob Marsee…flash in the pan?

Steve Adams

  • Don’t see any real reason to think so based on his rookie showing or his AAA work last year. I doubt he plays at the 6-WAR place he was sporting in 2025, haha, but even with some BABIP regression taking down his average and OBP, I still think he can be an average or slightly better hitter with enough glove to play center.

i have a question?

  • Michael Busch or Christian Walker seem like perfect trade targets for the padres to play 1B. What am I missing?

Steve Adams

  • The Cubs have no reason to trade Busch when they’re trying to contend. He’s one of their best hitters.No team wants Christian Walker’s contract, and I doubt the Astros want to eat $30MM of that $40MM to just get someone to take part of the deal.
  • Better to preserve the depth, hope he can build on last year’s second-half improvements, etc.

Cards Fan

  • Any hope for Walker or Gorman?

Steve Adams

  • I’m pretty much out on both

Joe Pohlad

  • My brother Tom has no idea what he’s doing, either, does he?

Steve Adams

  • Tom Pohlad lamenting “can we get off the payroll for a second” earlier this week is like the funniest thing a Pohlad has said in awhile.Yes, let’s drop the whole “payroll thing.” Why are Twins fans so hung up on the fact that it’s been slashed by $50MM over the past 24 months? And that the Twins are paying Carlos Correa $10MM per year to play elsewhere? And that the current $108MM payroll is closer to Metrodome levels of spending than Target Field spending?

    Ok, Tom. Have it your way. Let’s talk about your roster, which sure looks like it’s going to have one of the worst bullpens in recent MLB memory, haha.

  • Twins are a trainwreck right now, but at least they’re an entertaining one. (Albeit not in the way Tom Pohlad seems to believe they are)

Papi post

  • Red Sox question here. Does Romy Gonzales really have the potential to level up?

Steve Adams

  • Platoon guy for me, but a good one

JD

  • Are the Mariners done with moves? They seem to be an ideal location for Nick Martinez as they could use a swingman to strengthen their bullpen and pitching depth after the Logan Evans injury.

Steve Adams

  • Martinez might be pricier than they prefer, but yeah, I think adding at least a swingman if not just another veteran starter makes sense.

Reid

  • Thoughts on the Nationals taking a flyer on another arm for their rotation? Before the Gore trade there were a lot of question marks so it might make sense to grab a vet who can eat some innings.

Steve Adams

  • They have to add another arm. Someone has to pitch those innings. Doesn’t need to be anyone great. Throw $4MM at Miles Mikolas.Obviously, someone with a bit more upside would be nice,  but they need someone to pitch some innings.
  • Could add two guys too. Mikolas for innings and Buehler or Marquez or Canning if they want some more upside to try to spin into a deadline chip.

Mike

  • Thinking ahead should yanks trade Grisham to get value for him since prolly wont give long term deal

Steve Adams

  • Can’t trade him til June 15 without his consent

HackySack

  • What would a contract for someone like Mike Tauchman or Jesse Winker look like? A couple of the few available LHH OF’s left

Steve Adams

  • I’d have said like $2-3M for Tauchman awhile back but he’s inching closer to minor league deal territory the longer he stays out there. Winker’s been a minor league deal guy for me all winter.

Bloom

  • Im still looking for a RHB via external means, Best targets via either FA or trades?

Steve Adams

  • Was writing about this when the chat started
  • Options at this point are limited, regardless of handedness. If a right-handed bat remains the goal, then any of Miguel Andujar, Austin Slater or old friends Randal Grichuk and Tommy Pham remain available. Trade options are tougher to nail down, particularly with so many names off the board already, but the Cardinals aren’t likely to take on any notable veteran salaries (e.g. Nick Castellanos). Speculatively speaking, the Rays (Jonny DeLuca), Blue Jays (Jonatan Clase), Phillies (Johan Rojas) and Royals (Drew Waters) have some outfield options who have fallen down their depth charts this winter.

Valdez

  • What is the hold up?

Steve Adams

  • He would like more years than teams want to give him

White Sox Fan

  • W Abreu for Quero, is this a framework for a trade that fills each teams needs?

Steve Adams

  • I don’t think Quero is a good enough defender to stick at catcher and wouldn’t move Wilyer for him

TC Bear

  • If the season starts tomorrow, are the Twins a 100 loss team?

Steve Adams

  • I don’t think they’re that bad, but they’re clearly sub-.500 by a decent margin.

philliesfever

  • With the uncertainty of Wheeler’s return date and if Painter is not yet MLB ready. Do you think Dombrowski brings Buehler back on a one year deal?

Steve Adams

  • I think it’d be someone more stable than Buehler, but yeah, I could see the Phillies throwing $4-5MM at Quintana during camp or something.

BrewCrew

  • Does Milwaukee roll with the young guys on their starting staff or make a late addition (like they did last year) of a veteran arm?  Reunion with someone like Quintana or Montgomery?

Steve Adams

  • They make a late addition every year, it seems. I don’t know that a veteran like Quintana, Tyler Anderson, Patrick Corbin is going to want to head there when they have so many rotation options. Someone like Montgomery, who probably isn’t ready for Opening Day anyhow, makes some sense. They’ll probably have other injuries by the time he’s ready.Regardless, some form of cheap veteran depth seems fair to predict.

Astros71

  • Do you think we will still trade Matthews?

Steve Adams

  • I never thought the Astros were going to trade Brice Matthews and wouldn’t expect them to do so.

Bobby Z

  • What are your thoughts on the Suarez deal? Will this have any real impact for Cincinnati or just another feel-good reunion for the fanbase? That starting rotation won’t be around forever!

Steve Adams

  • Great price. Hard not to like it. Gives them some cover for Hayes at 3B (hurt a lot) or Stewart at 1B (limited MLB experience). If they’re both healthy and hitting (well, as much as Hayes is ever going to hit), then Geno mashes as a DH. Nice deal all around.
  • Wouldn’t bank on 49 homers again, but 30-35 homers? Sure. Probably a low OBP and obviously negligible defensive value, but he can still be an above-average offensive contributor overall.

Christian Walker

  • If O’Hearn is worth 2/29, I’m worth more than 2/10 as you say. My number were near career norms after a brutal start. Expect me to push for 30 homers again, even if I only hit .250

Steve Adams

  • Pirates bought ROH’s age-32 and 33 seasons. Walker’s next two seasons are age-35 and 36.MLB teams hate paying guys in their mid/late 30s (hence Suarez’s one-year deal)

Joe

  • If the pirates still don’t contend this year, do you think they considered Trading Skenes next off-season?b

Steve Adams

  • No
  • Maybe by the time Skenes has only one year left, but not anytime soon.

Walter

  • Bassitt or Buehler to solidify Cleveland’s starting 5?

Steve Adams

  • If they’re going to spend money, it should be on a bat. But they keep sitting back while bats are flying off the shelves via free agency and trade, so maybe they’re just going to be this cheap this year. I don’t know, but it’s been a brutal offseason for them.I thought Suarez as a once-a-week sub for Ramirez at third (DH day for him), a platoon partner at 1B for Manzardo and a DH otherwise would’ve been a great fit, and the 1/15 price point wasn’t major. Cleveland would’ve had to beat that, sure, but feels like something they should’ve tried to do.

    I know he spurned the Pirates on a two-year offer, but Cleveland is coming off a division win. Their park is also terrible for RH power, just like Pittsburgh though, so maybe Geno wouldn’t have had interest.

    Regardless, the Guards need to do something to improve that lineup.

Canaryville Mike

  • watching Edgar Quero I see a good defender. Not sure about the framing, but I can remember numerous times last year him throwing and picking off runners with his arm. What am is missing?

Steve Adams

  • Bottom-of-the-barrel framing grades and a 15% caught-stealing rate (with a lighter caught-stealing above average than that even)
  • He might get there, or maybe the advent of ABS will nerf some of the concerns about his framing. But he’s not great back there.Arm strength not great either.

    We (myself included) often tend to remember the good plays and form an opinion of someone based on that recency bias while forgetting or overlooking some of the negatives.

Fernando tatis

  • am I delusional for thinking I’m not gonna be on the padres by the deadline? And if not, who is gonna pursue a deal for me?

Steve Adams

  • I don’t see him being available, no.

Seth B

  • Why is everyone still so intrigued by Buehler?

Steve Adams

  • I personally wasn’t even intrigued by him last offseason, but I listed him as an “upside” guy because he’s relatively young and was good awhile ago.I think just because he was a former top prospect who had a big few moments in the postseason in ’24, primarily.
  • He was just … not good …. in 2025.I’m similarly out on Dustin May, but hey, the Cardinals gave him $12MM. Really, really don’t like that deal but let’s see what they can do with him.

Little for Littell

  • Why the seemingly small interest in Littell? Not the best of numbers post-trade last season but only 30 and plenty of teams could use 185 innings of 3.81 ERA ball

Steve Adams

  • He has something like an 18% strikeout rate over the past three seasons and sits 91-92 mph with his fastball. Right or wrong, teams pay for velo and punchouts.

Jack Lazorko

  • So is Rendon still on the Angels roster an insurance thing?

Steve Adams

  • Perhaps? I’m not entirely sure, but it won’t matter soon. Once camp opens he’ll go on the 60-day and his 40-man spot will be freed up

Bob Cobb

  • Will the Cardinals have an all home grown starting 8 on opening day?

Steve Adams

  • Bloom’s out here saying he wants to add an OF from outside the organization

John

  • Is Jeremiah Jackson going to get a chance to start this year? Or will he be used as a platoon/utility guy? Feel like he’s been written off too soon

Steve Adams

  • Probably a utility guy. I don’t really buy into his 2025 performance anyhow. Fanned in 27% of his PAs and only got to the .276/.328/.447 line with a huge .365 average on balls in play.He hit .350 on grounders last year, which would be the highest mark in MLB, despite having only average speed. The only guys close to him were 70 and 80 runners like Brice Turang, Bobby Witt Jr. and Jake Mangum

Jay

  • Davis Schneider, Joey Loperfido and Adam Macko for Steven Kwan.  Who says no ?

Steve Adams

  • Cleveland. Quickly

Royals, Vinnie Pasquantino Avoid Arbitration

By Darragh McDonald | February 3, 2026 at 12:45pm CDT

February 3rd: Pasquantino will make $4.2MM in 2026 and $6.9MM in 2027 for a combined guarantee of $11.1MM, per Jon Heyman of The New York Post. He will also get an extra $200K in 2027 for getting to 450, 500 and 550 plate appearances. His base salary in 2027 can also jump based on awards voting in 2026. It would increase by $4MM with an MVP win, $3MM if he finishes second through fifth in the voting, $2MM for finishing sixth through tenth, $1.5MM for 11th to 15th, and $1.25MM for 16th to 20th. He would get an extra $1MM for being selected All-MLB first team and $750K for the second team, though the max he can jump is $4.6MM.

January 30th: The Royals and first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino will avoid an arbitration hearing. Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports that he and the club have agreed to a two-year deal worth more than $11MM, with a chance for him to max out close to $16MM via incentives. Exact figures have not yet been publicly reported.

Pasquantino just qualified for arbitration for the first time going into 2026. MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz projected him for a salary of $5.4MM. He was one of 18 players who did not have a deal in place through the arbitration filing deadline earlier this month. He and his camp filed at $4.5MM while the Royals filed at $4MM.

Most teams these days adopt a “file and trial” approach, which means they cut off negotiations of one-year deals after the filing deadline. This is to give them leverage in pre-deadline talks and also to prevent players from filing absurdly high numbers in an attempt to set out an aggressive bargaining stance. An arbiter can only pick the player’s or the team’s number, not a midpoint. Even if a team does have a “file and trial” policy, exceptions are made for deals that are longer than one year.

Arbitration hearings are generally viewed as a normal part of the business but occasional situations have occurred where the relationship between a player and a team have been damaged. Corbin Burnes said as much after his hearing with the Brewers three years ago. Pasquantino and the Royals have avoided that situation by agreeing to this multi-year pact, covering the first two of his three arbitration years. He will also be eligible for arbitration in 2028, before he’s slated to reach free agency.

There will now be no more than 14 hearings across the league this year. As mentioned, 18 players didn’t have a deal as of the deadline. Since then, Cade Cavalli, Bryce Miller, Joe Ryan and now Pasquantino have reached new deals to avoid hearings. The Royals still have one potential hearing on the docket, as they don’t yet have an agreement in place with left-hander Kris Bubic, who was projected for a $6MM salary. He filed at $6.15MM and the team at $5.15MM.

Reds Designate Ben Rortvedt For Assignment

By Darragh McDonald | February 3, 2026 at 12:35pm CDT

The Reds announced that catcher Ben Rortvedt has been designated for assignment. That’s the corresponding move to open a 40-man spot for infielder Eugenio Suárez, whose signing is now official.

Rortvedt, 28, has never appeared in a game for the Reds. Cincinnati just claimed him off waivers from the Dodgers in November. At the time of that waiver claim, it was reported that Rortvedt and the Dodgers had already signed a deal for 2026 to avoid arbitration. The backstop will make $1.25MM this year.

The Dodgers were likely hoping that figure was high enough that no other club would claim him off waivers. Rortvedt is out of options and therefore can’t be sent to the minors while staying on the 40-man roster. Since he has at least three years of big league service time, Rortvedt has the right to reject outright assignments. But since his service clock is less than five years, he would have to forfeit his salary commitments in electing free agency. Had he cleared waivers, he likely would have stayed with the Dodgers as non-roster catching depth.

Instead, the Reds claimed him and have held him for the past few months. They might now be hoping that they get to keep Rortvedt as non-roster depth instead of the Dodgers. With this DFA, Cincinnati now has Jose Trevino and Tyler Stephenson as the only two catchers on the 40-man roster. Will Banfield is their most experienced non-roster guy at the moment, even though he has just seven big league games on his track record.

Rortvedt’s career has been up and down but he would be a solid depth option. He showed his potential by having a decent showing with the Rays in 2024. He stepped to the plate 328 times and put up a .228/.317/.303 line. That line led to an 87 wRC+, indicating he was 13% below league average. But since catchers are usually about ten points below the rest of the league, that’s not bad for a part-time backstop. Rortvedt’s glovework also got decent reviews, enough for FanGraphs to credit him with 1.4 wins above replacement for the year, even with that so-so offense.

Things backed up with Tampa last year. He hit .095/.186/.111 in his 70 plate appearances before getting outrighted off the roster. He was flipped to the Dodgers at the deadline as part of the three-team trade which saw the Reds gets Zack Littell. The Dodgers called him up in September when Will Smith was injured and Rortvedt bounced back somewhat, with a .224/.309/.327 line in a small sample of 58 plate appearances for the eventual World Series champs.

The Dodgers liked him enough that they seemingly hoped to keep him around as relatively expensive depth behind Smith and Dalton Rushing. The Reds will now have a maximum of one week of DFA limbo to work with. The waiver process takes 48 hours, so they could field trade interest but will likely place Rortvedt on waivers at some point in the next five days. If another team claims him, the Reds would likely need to add some veteran depth via minor league deals.

Reds Sign Eugenio Suarez

By Mark Polishuk | February 3, 2026 at 11:50am CDT

February 3rd: The Reds made the Suarez deal official today. Catcher Ben Rortvedt was designated for assignment as the corresponding move.

February 1st: Eugenio Suarez is returning to Cincinnati, as ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that the slugger has signed a one-year, $15MM deal with the Reds that includes a mutual option for the 2027 season.  Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports that the option is worth $16MM, though mutual options are rarely triggered by both sides.  The deal will become official once the Reds clear a spot on their 40-man roster, and presumably when Suarez passes a physical.  Suarez is represented by Octagon.

Reports emerged last week that the Reds had interest in a reunion with the third baseman, who hit .253/.335/.476 with 189 homers over 3730 plate appearances during the 2015-21 seasons.  The continued uncertainty over the Reds’ broadcast deal with Main Street Sports was said to be a holdup for the team in how much money they had available to pursue Suarez or other targets like Austin Hays (who signed with the White Sox yesterday).

With an agreement now in place with Suarez, it could be that the Reds have gotten some clarity about how they’ll proceed with MSS or perhaps a new broadcasting agreement with Major League Baseball itself.  Alternatively, Suarez’s acceptance of just a one-year deal and arguably a discount price may be another reason why the two sides were able to line up on a contract.

MLB Trade Rumors ranked Suarez 20th on our list of the winter’s top 50 free agents, and projected him for a three-year, $63MM deal.  The one-year, $15MM pact falls well short of that prediction in both years and average annual value, as it could be teams were wary of making a larger commitment to a strikeout-prone player who turns 35 in July.  Suarez’s third base glovework also dropped in 2025, as he posted -6 Defensive Runs Saved and -3 Outs Above Average.

With the bat, however, Suarez hit 49 home runs in 2025, matching his career high set with the Reds in 2019.  Suarez’s overall slash line of .228/.298/.526 reflects his power-heavy output, as he delivered a below-average walk rate for the second consecutive season.  Though Suarez’s 29.8% strikeout rate put him in the fifth percentile of all batters, he maxed out when he did make contact, with strong hard-contact and barrel rates.

It has been a strange two-season run for Suarez, who sandwiched a superstar-level campaign in between two mediocre half-seasons.  Suarez had only a .591 OPS over his first 315 PA of the 2024 season with the Diamondbacks, before he caught fire and hit .276/.336/.593 with 60 homers over 766 PA from July 1, 2024 to July 31, 2025.  Unfortunately, Suarez then drastically cooled off after he was dealt to the Mariners at the trade deadline, but he somewhat rebounded to get some key hits during Seattle’s postseason run to Game 7 of the ALCS.

This rather extreme streakiness could be another reason Suarez’s market never really took off this winter, as teams were justifiably not sure exactly which version of Suarez they’d get in his 13th big league season.  The Mariners had some interest in a reunion, and other teams like the Cubs, Red Sox, and Pirates were also linked to the slugger.

Pittsburgh was the other finalist for Suarez’s services, according to MassLive.com’s Chris Cotillo.  As per MLB.com’s Alex Stumpf and Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Pirates were willing to offer a $15MM average annual salary to Suarez and also offered him a second guaranteed year.  In taking just a one-year contract, Suarez seems to be hoping to fully re-establish his market by having a big season in 2026 and then re-entering free agency next winter.  It was also very likely to Cincinnati’s benefit that Suarez is already very familiar with the organization from his previous seven-year run in the Queen City.

While the Pirates are on the way up, Suarez may have been more interested in joining a Reds team that actually did make the playoffs in 2025.  Cincinnati reached the postseason on the strength of its rotation, as the lineup was average at best in most offensive categories, and 21st of 30 teams in home runs.  Elly De La Cruz and Spencer Steer combined for 43 homers as the Reds’ top two home-run hitters in 2025, so Suarez alone tops that total.

Suarez steps right into an everyday role in the Reds’ lineup, though it will be interesting to see where exactly Suarez is deployed.  Ke’Bryan Hayes is arguably the best defensive third baseman in the game, so Suarez is more likely to see a lot of action as a DH and possibly at first base.  Suarez’s MLB history as a first baseman consists of just three late-game appearances, all of which came last year.  The Reds will surely give Suarez plenty of time at the position this spring to see how Suarez fares at the cold corner, and Steer and Sal Stewart will also receive at-bats in the first base/DH mix.  Stewart can also play some second base and Steer could play left field, with Steer’s right-handed bat complementing the left-handed hitting JJ Bleday on the grass.

Bleday and Dane Myers were the only notable offensive adds the Reds made prior to today, with the two outfielders more or less replacing Hays and Gavin Lux (who was dealt to the Rays as part of the three-team deal with the Angels that brought reliever Brock Burke to Cincinnati).  Suarez now represents a major boost to the Reds’ lineup, and a source of stability on a team that is still waiting to see what it has in players like Steer, Stewart, Matt McLain, or Noelvi Marte.  Even De La Cruz was more good than great in 2025, but EDLC figures to benefit with Suarez providing protection behind him in the lineup.

RosterResource estimates a $126.1MM payroll for the Reds at the moment, which is a minor increase over their $118.7MM figure from the 2025 season.  President of baseball operations Nick Krall said in early November that the Reds would be spending at “around the same” levels as 2025, so it could be that the team is essentially done with significant offseason moves unless they can unload some salary.

This could again change depending on what happens with the Reds’ broadcast deal, or ownership might potentially green-light some more spending either now or during the season (perhaps once some ticket revenue starts rolling in).  The Reds seem to be well-positioned to make another run at a postseason berth in 2026, even though within the NL Central alone, the Pirates will be better and the Brewers and Cubs each figure to keep battling for the division crown.

Twins, Eduardo Salazar Agree To Minor League Deal

By Steve Adams | February 3, 2026 at 11:19am CDT

The Twins and right-handed reliever Eduardo Salazar are in agreement on a minor league contract, per Jon Heyman of the New York Post. He’ll presumably be in camp as a non-roster invitee later this month.

Salazar has pitched in each of the past three major league seasons, spending time with the Reds, Dodgers and Nationals, in that order. The 27-year-old righty has pitched 70 2/3 big league innings but been tagged for a grisly 5.99 ERA in that time. Salazar sat 95.1 mph with his four-seamer and 94.4 mph with his sinker in 2025, complementing that pair of heaters with a slider that averaged 87.5 mph. He’s fanned only 16% of his opponents in the majors against a 10.2% walk rate, but the right-hander does sport an encouraging 52.8% ground-ball rate.

Salazar’s production in the upper minors hasn’t been demonstrably better. He has a 5.71 ERA in 117 Triple-A frames with comparable strikeout, walk and ground-ball rates. That said, he did post quality swinging-strike and strikeout rates during his Triple-A time with the Nationals in 2024-25, which is notable given that Washington altered his pitch selection. He’d previously been almost exclusively a sinker/slider reliever with very occasional four-seamers and changeups. The Nats significantly upped his four-seam usage, so perhaps Minnesota is intrigued by what he’d look like with further tweaks to his pitch usage and/or pitch shapes.

There’s plenty of room in the Twins’ bullpen, should Salazar enjoy a nice performance in spring training or early in the season with the Twins’ Triple-A club in St. Paul. Minnesota had one of baseball’s best bullpens heading into the 2025 trade deadline and gutted it by trading Jhoan Duran, Griffin Jax, Louis Varland, Danny Coulombe and Brock Stewart as part of an 11-player fire sale. They’ve done virtually nothing to revamp the relief corps this offseason. Taylor Rogers returned on a $2MM deal for what will be his age-35 season, and the Twins picked up righty Eric Orze in a small trade with the Rays.

That pair will join holdovers Justin Topa, Cole Sands and Kody Funderburk in what looks like one of the weakest bullpens in the sport. The Twins have more young starting pitchers in the upper minors than they have rotation spots available, so perhaps some of David Festa, Zebby Matthews, Taj Bradley, Connor Prielipp and Marco Raya will end up in the bullpen rather than on the starting staff.

Regardless, the Twins represent a good opportunity for someone like Salazar as he tries to find his footing in the majors. Salazar is out of minor league options. If he’s added to the 40-man at any point, he’ll need to stick or else be exposed to waivers. If things click, he can be controlled for five seasons, but there’s a lot that needs to go right before that’s a real consideration.
