Cavalli agreed to a one-year contract with the Nationals on Sunday that includes a club option for 2027, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The two sides were unable to come to an agreement ahead of last week's arbitration deadline, but they continued to negotiate and came to terms on what could end up being a multi-year pact. The exact salary figure has yet to be reported, but it seems likely to be between $825,000 and $900,000, which were the arbitration figures submitted by the two camps. Cavalli made 10 starts for the Nationals in 2025 and posted a 4.25 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 40:15 K:BB across 48.2 innings.

The Reds did not give De La Cruz permission to play in the World Baseball Classic, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

De La Cruz wanted to represent the Dominican Republic, but Cincy has lingering concerns about a quad injury that appeared to limit him over the second half of the 2025 season. The shortstop, who still played all 162 regular-season games, experienced a second-half dip last year after a strong first half. Reds manager Terry Francona acknowledged the need to find ways to keep De La Cruz fresh in 2026, and the trade of Gavin Lux will allow starters to rotate through DH and get breaks from playing the field, per Rosencrans.

Pressly announced his retirement from professional baseball Saturday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pressly will step away from the game after spending 13 seasons in Major League Baseball, during which he notched 117 saves and compiled a 3.33 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 691.1 innings split between the Twins, Astros and Cubs. The 37-year-old was named an All-Star twice (2019, 2021) and won the World Series with Houston in 2022.

Gott signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Saturday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gott hasn't pitched in the majors since 2023, but he made 22 appearances with the Mariners' Triple-A affiliate during 2025 and finished the season with an 8.20 ERA and 1.92 WHIP across 18.2 innings. The Nationals' lack of bullpen depth helps the 33-year-old's chances of making it back to MLB in 2026, though he will likely need to show significant improvement at Triple-A Rochester first.

Rios signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Saturday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rios spent the 2025 season in the Mets organization but made just two appearances at Triple-A Syracuse while spending most of the year recovering from an undisclosed injury. Now fully healthy, the 32-year-old reliever will add depth to the bullpen at Triple-A Iowa and is unlikely to make a significant contribution to the big club during 2026.

Caratini signed a two-year, $14 million contract with the Twins on Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Caratini served as the Astros' primary catcher in 2025 and slashed .259/.324/.404 across 386 plate appearances while racking up 12 homers, 46 RBI and 35 runs scored -- all of which represent career highs. Now in Minnesota, the 32-year-old switch-hitter could supplant Ryan Jeffers as the Twins' backstop against right-handed starters and fill in for Trevor Larnach as the team's DH against southpaws.

The Dodgers signed Robertson to a minor-league contract Friday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson was drafted by the Dodgers and reached the majors with them in 2023 before bouncing around with a few different organizations since then. The 27-year-old spent all of 2025 at the Triple-A level between the Astros' and Royals' affiliates, holding a 4.30 ERA and 52:30 K:BB over 52.1 frames. Robertson is likely ticketed for the bullpen at Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin the 2026 campaign.

McLain has added 12 pounds of muscle over the offseason, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

EDGE Analysis

After rehabbing injuries each of the last two offseasons, McLain has been able to focus on training this winter and said he feels like he's getting a "fresh start" heading into the 2026 season. The second baseman slashed a disappointing .220/.300/.343 over 147 regular-season contests in 2025, but he has some bounce-back potential heading into his age-26 campaign.

The Mets claimed Cheng off waivers from the Rays on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

It's already the third organization Cheng has been with this month as he bounces around via waivers. The 24-year-old slashed just .209/.307/.271 at Triple-A Indianapolis and went hitless in a brief stint with the Pirates last season, but the Mets felt Cheng was a worthy infield depth addition.

The Marlins claimed Bido off waivers from the Rays on Friday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's the fourth organization this offseason for Bido, who posted a 5.87 ERA and 18.7 percent strikeout rate in 2025 with the Athletics. The right-hander held a 3.41 ERA and 24.3 percent strikeout rate in 2024 and offers the flexibility to serve as a starter or reliever. Bido could compete for a rotation spot in Miami, but a long-relief role is likelier.
