The Rangers designated Hamel for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Jakob Junis, whose signing was officially announced Tuesday. Hamel has not made an appearance for the Rangers since being a waiver claim in September. He held a 5.32 ERA and 75:22 K:BB over 67.2 frames at Triple-A Syracuse in the Mets organization in 2025.

The Mariners and Miller avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.4375 million contract Tuesday. The deal includes a $6.075 million club option for 2027.

EDGE Analysis

The two sides were unable to come to an agreement prior to arbitration figures being exchanged earlier this month, but they've now reached a deal to avoid a hearing. Miller posted a 5.68 ERA and 74:34 K:BB over 90.1 regular-season innings in 2025 and missed time with elbow issues on two occasions. The righty returned to pitch down the stretch of the regular season and playoffs, collecting a 2.51 ERA and 9:5 K:BB over 14.1 frames covering three postseason starts. Miller appears poised to enter spring training with a clean bill of health.

The Nationals designated Lara for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Mickey Gasper, who was claimed off waivers. Lara had a rough 2025 season, holding an 8.79 ERA and 10:8 K:BB over 14.1 innings with the Nationals and an 8.92 ERA and 26:22 K:BB across 36.1 frames with Triple-A Rochester. The 23-year-old stands a good chance of passing through waivers unclaimed and remaining in the organization.

The Nationals claimed Gasper off waivers from the Twins on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gasper had been booted off the Twins' 40-man roster, and he's now joining a new organization. The 30-year-old sports a lowly .133/.250/.195 batting line over 58 career games in the majors, but he can play catcher, first base, second base and left field and also has minor-league options remaining.

The Marlins designated Bido for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Bradley Blalock. Bido has already been in four organizations this offseason and could make it a fifth if he gets claimed on waivers again. He held a 5.87 ERA and 18.7 percent strikeout rate in 2025 with the Athletics.

Hill said recently on Audacy's "Baseball Isn't Boring" podcast that he does not plan to pitch anywhere in 2026.

EDGE Analysis

Hill stopped short of using the word "retirement," but considering he'll turn 46 in March, it's easy to see that's where this is headed. The lefty made two starts for the Royals in 2025, allowing seven runs (five earned) with a 4:8 K:BB over nine innings, which was the 14th team he pitched for at the big-league level. If Hill does officially call it a career, he'll retire with 90 wins and a career 4.02 ERA over parts of 21 major-league seasons.

Atlanta signed Reid-Foley to a minor-league contract Jan. 14.

EDGE Analysis

Reid-Foley spent all of the 2025 season at the Triple-A level split between the Mets and Diamondbacks organizations, posting a 7.07 ERA and 39:33 K:BB over 28 innings. The 30-year-old has appeared in parts of seven big-league seasons, holding a 4.10 ERA across 71 appearances (13 starts).

The Marlins acquired Blalock from the Rockies on Tuesday in exchange for Jake Brooks, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blalock had been designated for assignment last week and is now headed to a new organization. The right-hander holds an abysmal 8.16 ERA and 47:43 K:BB over 89.1 innings in parts of two seasons at the major-league level, but the Marlins appear optimistic they can get more out of Blalock. The 25-year-old will give Miami some rotation depth following its trades of Edward Cabrera and Ryan Weathers.

The Orioles signed Crouse to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Brendan Mortensen of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Crouse made just two appearances at Triple-A Salt Lake in the Angels organization in 2025 before suffering a torn right lat and then getting released. It's unclear whether he will be a full participant at the beginning of spring training. Crouse appeared in 25 games for the Halos in 2024, collecting a 2.84 ERA and 34:17 K:BB over 25.1 innings.

The Phillies designated Wilson for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of J.T. Realmuto, whose re-signing was made official Tuesday. Wilson slashed only .198/.282/.369in 52 regular-season tilts for the Phillies in 2025. However, the right-handed-hitting Wilson is a career .250/.359/.475 hitter versus southpaws and offers positional versatility, so he could draw interest via waivers.
