Get excited, baseball fans! The Winter Meetings may be over, but there’s still plenty of action happening in the MLB offseason.
The Dodgers have made a huge splash by securing Shohei Ohtani, but they’re not done yet. Reports suggest they are still eyeing Japan’s Yoshinobu Yamamoto to bolster their rotation. At just 25 years old, Yamamoto is one of the most sought-after starting pitchers on the market. It’s no surprise that the Mets and Yankees are also expected to be in the running for his services. The clock is ticking for Yamamoto to make a decision, as he has until Jan. 4 to choose a team.
The market for J.D. Martinez is heating up as well. The veteran slugger, known for his power production, has attracted interest from teams like the Diamondbacks, Angels, Mets, and Mariners. It seems Martinez will have no shortage of suitors as the offseason progresses.
One player who might be sticking around with his current team is catcher Francisco Alvarez. After an impressive rookie season with the Mets, Alvarez has expressed openness to signing a long-term extension with the club. Given his potential and the difficulty of finding productive catchers, this could be a smart move for the Mets.
And in other news, the Tigers have added depth to their bullpen by signing lefty Andrew Chafin to a one-year deal with a club option for 2025. It looks like teams across the league are making moves to improve their rosters for the upcoming season.
