Jonathan Loaisiga

FA Relief Pitcher #43

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Mark W. Sanchez of the New York Post reports that the Yankees are open to a reunion with right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga.

The 30-year-old hurler underwent season-ending surgery on his pitching elbow in April. Sanchez notes that the Yankees were one of a handful of teams that went to see Loaisiga throw this past week. His recovery has gone very smoothly and he’s expected to start throwing regular bullpen sessions in January and should be ready for the start of the regular season.
Elias Diaz

FA Catcher #15

Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports that the Orioles have expressed interest in veteran free agent backstop Elias Díaz.

The Orioles are known to be in the market for help behind the plate as James McCann hits free agency and it’s believed they will be casting a wide net. Díaz, 34, had a down season by his standards in 2024, slashing a mere .265/.313/.382 with just six homers and 39 RBI in 351 plate appearances between the Rockies and Padres. He would represent a solid, if unspectacular, backup option for the O’s behind Adley Rutschman and they wouldn’t have to break the bank to bring him in.
Juan Soto

FA Left Fielder #22

Sources tell ESPN’s Buster Olney that teams are expected to begin making offers to Juan Soto this week.

Soto has met with several clubs, including the Mets, Dodgers, Blue Jays and Red Sox, and it really doesn’t look like his free agency will drag on long as it has with some other top free agents in recent years. That’d be a good thing, too, since the rest of the market is very much waiting on him.
Kyle Farmer

FA Second Baseman #12

Kyle Farmer’s deal with the Rockies will guarantee him $3.25 million with a chance to earn an additional $1.25 million in bonuses.

It’s a big cut from the $6.3 million that Farmer made as an arbitration-eligible player with the Twins last season, but we’re skeptical anyone else was offering Farmer this much after a season in which he posted an 82 OPS+. Maybe he’ll bounce back some at age 34... it could mean the difference between the Rockies winning 64 or 65 games next year.
Eddys Leonard

FA Shortstop #51

Tigers non-tendered INF Eddys Leonard, RHP Ricky Vanasco and RHP Brendan White.

All three players had been designated for assignment on Tuesday as the Tigers attempted to clear some room on their 40-man roster, so it’s not shocking that none of the players were tendered contracts. Leonard actually had a decent season in 67 games at Triple-A Toledo in 2024 — hitting .263/.326/.455 with 10 homers, 26 RBI and seven swipes in 282 plate appearances — but never got an opportunity at the big-league level. It may need to be a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training, but Leonard shouldn’t have any difficulty finding another opportunity.
Wilmer Flores

FA Starting Pitcher #59

Tigers non-tendered RHP Wilmer Flores.

The 23-year-old right-hander was once considered an intriguing pitching prospect for the Tigers but he struggled to a cringe-inducing 7.84 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and a 29/25 K/BB ratio over 31 innings across three minor league levels in 2024. It’s possible that they still attempt to bring him back on a minor league deal, but there could be other teams interested in what was once a very promising young arm.
Connor Gillispie

FA Relief Pitcher #61

Guardians non-tendered RHP Connor Gillispie.

The 27-year-old hurler was designated for assignment already earlier in the week as the club needed to free up a few spots on their 40-man roster. Gillispie broke through to the big leagues for the first time in 2024, posting a 2.25 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and an 8/5 K/BB ratio across eight innings. Don’t be surprised if the Guardians attempt to bring him back on a minor league deal and he excels as a member of their bullpen at some point in 2025.
George Valera

FA Center Fielder #76

Guardians non-tendered OF George Valera.

Valera had already been designated for assignment on Tuesday as the Guardians tried to make some room on their 40-man roster, so it’s not shocking to see that he wasn’t tendered a contract. It’s possible that they could still attempt to bring the 24-year-old outfielder back into the fold on a minor league contract.
Brandon Hughes

FA Relief Pitcher #56

Diamondbacks non-tendered LHP Brandon Hughes.

Because he gave up eight homers, Hughes had an 8.15 ERA in 17 2/3 innings for Arizona last season. He was far more successful in a tough environment at Triple-A Reno, posting a 2.03 ERA in 48 2/3 innings. He’ll compete for a spot in some team’s pen next spring.
Brent Honeywell

FA Relief Pitcher #40

Dodgers non-tendered RHP Brent Honeywell Jr. and LHP Zach Logue.

Logue belongs on a minor league contract, but Honeywell seemed like a guy who might fit into the Dodgers pen next year after a nice finish with the team last season (2.62 ERA in 34 1/3 innings). Perhaps he’ll stay on a non-roster deal, but he should draw some interest.
