The 2024 Winter Conferences have wrapped up and the week introduced us a number of blockbuster strikes. Four of the top six free agents have signed and the top-ranked trade candidate has been moved. Spring coaching remains to be two months away. There’s is much more sizzling range exercise forward of us. It simply will not all occur on the Winter Conferences.

With the Winter Conferences all however full, let’s declare some winners and losers, we could? We will. Let’s get to it.

Winners: Juan Soto, the Mets, and Scott Boras

The information broke late Sunday evening: Juan Soto is leaving the Yankees to join the Mets on a record 15-year, $765 million contract. The Mets stole a star participant away from their crosstown rival, one thing proprietor Steve Cohen known as a “seminal second” in franchise historical past, and added among the finest hitters on the planet. He is solely 26 too. Numerous prime years remaining. The Mets are a winner for getting Soto, Soto is a winner for getting $765 million, and agent Scott Boras is a winner for brokering the deal. He expertly performed the Yankees and Mets in opposition to one another to safe the biggest contract in baseball historical past. Boras appeared to do the Michael Jordan “and I took that personally” meme after everybody stated he is misplaced his contact final offseason.

Losers: Yankees

They did not simply lose Soto, the misplaced him to a different group of their metropolis. The Yankees reportedly supplied 16 years and $760 million, in order that they have been proper there financially, however Soto selected the Mets. A star participant leaving the Yankees doesn’t occur usually usually. A star participant leaving the Yankees for the Mets was unprecedented earlier than Soto. It is a devastating loss on the sphere and it leaves the Yankees with a giant ol’ bruise on their ego as nicely.

Winners: Additionally the Yankees

The Yankees shortly pivoted after Soto left for Queens and reeled in lefty Max Fried with an eight-year, $218 million contract. Step one of Plan B was including to a rotation that was already fairly good, and now permits the Yankees to commerce a starter (Luis Gil? Clarke Schmidt?) for assist elsewhere on the roster. Fried suits New York’s most popular profile as a weak-contact grasp and figures to be a extra succesful No. 2 starter behind Gerrit Cole than Carlos Rodón.

Winners: Pink Sox

After making a run at Fried and Corbin Burnes (and likewise Soto), the Pink Sox lastly landed an ace Wednesday, acquiring Garrett Crochet from the White Sox. It price them 4 prospects, together with their final two first-round picks (catcher Kyle Teel and outfielder Braden Montgomery), however it’s important to give to get, and Crochet is without doubt one of the most dominant starters within the recreation. The commerce is paying homage to the Pink Sox getting Chris Sale from the White Sox for 4 prospects eight years in the past. Two years later, Sale and the Pink Sox have been World Sequence champions.

Losers: Orioles

The Tyler O’Neill and Gary Sánchez signings have been wise strikes that went down final Friday, so technically not in the course of the Winter Conferences. Baltimore did not do a lot of something on the Winter Conferences besides watch beginning pitcher after beginning pitcher come off the board. Fried is a Yankee. Crochet is a Pink Sock. Nathan Eovaldi went again to the Rangers. The O’s appear resigned to shedding Burnes, and the perfect obtainable free-agent starters behind him are Sean Manaea, Walker Buehler, and Nick Pivetta. Maybe they will shock us and swing a blockbuster commerce behind now and spring coaching (the Burnes commerce was not made till Feb. 1 final winter), however that is shaping as much as be a disappointingly low-key offseason for an Orioles group that ought to extra aggressively pursue high-end supporting gamers for its gifted younger core.

Winners: Nationals

The Nationals fairly actually gained on the Winter Conferences. As within the draft lottery. They moved up from the No. 4 pick to the No. 1 pick in the lottery. It is going to be the third No. 1 choose in franchise historical past and the primary two labored out fairly nice: Stephen Strasburg in 2009 and Bryce Harper in 2010. Washington already has a powerful younger expertise base (CJ Abrams, Dylan Crews, James Wooden, and many others.). They’re going to add one other potential influence piece with the No. 1 choose in July.

Losers: Astros

We’re six weeks into the offseason and the four-time defending AL West champions have but to signal a major-league free agent, and the one 40-man roster participant they’ve added through commerce is further outfielder Taylor Trammell. Throughout the Winter Conferences, the New York Post reported the Astros at the moment are “bracing to doubtlessly lose” Alex Bregman to free company, and Kyle Tucker’s title popped up in trade rumors. It is fully potential Houston will re-sign Bregman and retain Tucker, however, proper now, it seems issues are trending in a path that’s not nice for the Astros.

Winners: Guardians

Unloading the near $100 million they owe Andrés Giménez on the Blue Jays after which flipping Spencer Horwitz to the Pirates for 3 — three! — pitchers was nifty work by Cleveland’s entrance workplace. Giménez is a terrific defender, arguably the perfect defensive second basemen within the recreation, although his bat goes backwards, and he is making an terrible lot of cash for somebody who does not chip in a lot offensively. The Guardians may be the perfect pitcher improvement group within the sport and Luis L. Ortiz threw 135 ⅔ innings with a 3.32 ERA for Pittsburgh in 2024. He has 5 years of group management remaining and is strictly the sort of pitching ball of clay the Guardians have had success molding into high-end starters. Nice work by Cleveland getting out from below Giménez’s contract earlier than it turned unmovable, and loading up on pitching.

Losers: Followers of slapstick

The Winter Conferences have been held on the Hilton Anatole in Dallas this 12 months, and the final time they have been held there again in 2011, somebody fell into the koi pond within the foyer. To the motion footage:

Alas and alack, there have been no public slip-ups this time round. I assume everybody was on excessive alert across the koi pond after the 2011 incident. Too dangerous. The Winter Conferences may be tense at occasions, impossibly boring at others. A little bit comedic reduction would have been welcome all through the week.


CBS Sports activities offered prompt protection and evaluation of all the newest rumors, trades, and signings from the Winter Conferences all through the week. Relive all of the motion beneath.

Can be ‘shock’ if Tucker not traded quickly

Yankees, Cubs speaking Bellinger

The Cubs and Yankees proceed to be related in rumors revolving round Cody Bellinger. On the previous MVP, Jon Heyman reported the following

“The Cubs initially needed any buying group to pay the entire thing, I feel they’re keen to chip in just a few {dollars} now, not sufficient. However there are not any different groups apart from the Yankees, that is why I feel they’ve a very good shot at this.” 

Bellinger exercised his participant possibility for the 2025 season with the Cubs for $27.5 million after hitting .266/.325/.426 (111 OPS+) final season. He is a strong lefty who can play heart discipline or first base, in order that makes for an important match with the Yankees proper now. If the Cubs are keen to pay down sufficient of the deal — there’s additionally a $25 million participant possibility for subsequent season — it might work. 

A enjoyable wrinkle right here: The Cubs and Yankees seem like the most important competitors for each other within the potential commerce of All-Star proper fielder Kyle Tucker. 

 

Mets are ‘nonetheless engaged’ with Alonso

At Juan Soto’s introductory press conference Thursday, Mets proprietor Steve Cohen stated they’re “nonetheless engaged” with Pete Alonso, and need to deliver him again. “Hopefully we’ll get there,” Cohen told reporters, including MLB.com.

Alonso, 30, is simply 26 residence runs behind Darryl Strawberry for the franchise report (252). It has been a quiet offseason for him so far, although Soto and Willy Adames are the one high position-player free brokers to signal. The marketplace for Alonso will choose up quickly. Whether or not meaning a return to Queens or a brand new uniform stays to be seen.

Pink Sox have touched base with Means

The Pink Sox have been in touch with free agent lefty John Means, reports MassLive.com. Means had his second profession Tommy John surgical procedure in June and is prone to miss the complete 2025 season. Whichever group indicators him will achieve this with an eye fixed on 2026, and contemplate something they get in 2025 a bonus.

Means, 31, has made solely 10 begins over the past three seasons due to his elbow troubles. His final full season was 2021, when he threw 146 2/3 innings with a 3.62 ERA for the Orioles. Means was an All-Star in 2019 and completed second within the AL Rookie of the Yr voting to Yordan Alvarez that 12 months. The changeup specialist has carried out very nicely producing weak contact when wholesome.

 

Giants making push for Burnes

Corbin Burnes and new Giants POBO Buster Posey met late Tuesday evening and the group is making a push to deliver him to San Francisco, reports the New York Post. The Blue Jays are stated to be closely concerned as nicely. Here’s our look at the top landing spots for the 2021 NL Cy Young winner. With Max Fried and Blake Snell signed, Burnes is much and away the perfect obtainable free-agent starter.

The Giants already splurged for Willy Adames this offseason (seven years and $182 million). Along with Burnes, they’re additionally stated to be within the combine for Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker, so Posey & Co. are aiming excessive. Burnes would give the Giants a second ace to pair with Logan Webb, and albeit simply give them a second dependable starter. They’ve spend a lot of the previous couple of years using openers and bullpen video games.

 

Buehler searching for a number of years with decide outs

Proper-hander Walker Buehler, who recorded the ultimate out of the World Sequence, is searching for a multi-year contract with opt-outs, according to ESPN. This might be just like the contracts Cody Bellinger, Jordan Montgomery, et al signed final offseason. The Giants, Pink Sox, and Tigers are among the many groups with curiosity.

Buehler, 30, had a powerful postseason, although his damage historical past (together with two Tommy John surgical procedures) is prolonged and he had a poor common season (5.38 ERA in 75 ⅓ innings). His stuff was down as nicely. Buehler regarded higher in October, for certain, although the accidents and the decline in high quality of his stuff will maintain his value down. A battle-tested pitcher with upside shall be widespread on a short-term deal.

Yankees, Cubs make some progress on Bellinger

According to the New York Post, the Yankees and Cubs stay “aside on cash, there was stated to be a little bit of progress late Wednesday” with respect to a commerce that might ship outfielder/first baseman Cody Bellinger to New York. The hold-up on cash has to do with the Cubs’ need to rid themselves fully of Bellinger’s contract (he is owed $27.5 million for at the least another season), whereas the Yankees need the Cubs to retain a few of that coin. It is unclear how shut the perimeters are to an settlement, or if their differing views on the cash will trigger talks to interrupt down.

 

Bregman unlikely for Pink Sox, however different large names potential

A match with free agent third baseman Alex Bregman “doesn’t appear to be a precedence” for the Pink Sox, reports The Athletic. That very same report mentions the potential for swinging a commerce for Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado — who could be reuniting with former Rockies teammate Trevor Story on the left facet of the infield — or signing a free agent outfielder like Anthony Santander or Teoscar Hernàndez. 

The acquisition of Arenado would absolutely push Rafael Devers to first base or designated hitter, which creates the chance to commerce Triston Casas. There are issues with Arenado’s energy dip final season, however taking part in half his video games in Fenway Park would absolutely assist alleviate a few of these. 

Santander simply hit 44 homers for the Orioles final season and is a change hitter. Hernàndez is coming off a giant 12 months for the World Sequence champion Dodgers and likewise spent a number of years beforehand with the Blue Jays within the AL East. 

 

Yankees re-sign Loáisiga

The Yankees are retaining reliever Jonathan Loáisiga on a one-year pact with a membership possibility, according to ESPN’s Jorge Castillo. He is thrown 21 mixed innings the final two seasons and required elbow surgical procedure that figures to price him the primary a part of the 2025 marketing campaign. Nonetheless, he is all the time been efficient when wholesome, amassing a 124 profession ERA+.

 

Cubs fascinated with Brewers reliever

The Cubs are in search of “extra certainty” with lefty relievers, according to The Athletic, and have proven curiosity in Brewers reliever Hoby Milner. The lanky southpaw shall be 34 subsequent season and was good in 2023, pitching to a 1.82 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 64⅓ innings. In fact, he took a considerable step backward final season in these two fee stats, pitching to a 4.73 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 64⅔ innings. He did submit an almost equivalent FIP whereas his strikeout fee ticked upward and his hard-hit fee allowed did not rise a lot. Maybe the Cubs consider they’d be shopping for low right here.

Soto passes bodily

Juan Soto won’t repeat the Carlos Correa mess from just a few winters in the past. He handed his bodily and is now formally a part of the New York Mets.

 

Astros, Cubs nonetheless speaking Tucker

Astros proper fielder Kyle Tucker’s title has been a sizzling one on the commerce rumor mill within the winter conferences and the Cubs are among the many heaviest-mentioned suitors together with the Yankees. The Astros would love the Cubs to half with Seiya Suzuki, Isaac Paredes and considered one of their two most up-to-date first-round picks (Matt Shaw or Cam Smith), reports the New York Post. It stays to be seen if the Cubs would hand over this a lot. If they’d, that is most likely the profitable provide for Tucker. 

 

Pink Sox talking with Mariners on SP

We simply heard the Pink Sox are nonetheless contemplating Corbin Burnes within the wake of touchdown Garrett Crochet through commerce. Maybe as an alternative of Burnes they will pull off one other commerce? The Pink Sox are discussing a potential deal centering on one of many Mariners’ beginning pitchers, reports MLB Network.

The Mariners want a greater offense and their energy is the rotation. Offloading Luis Castillo — who’s making over $24 million per 12 months by means of 2027 — would work, however there’s the prospect that they may get extra again for one of many youthful starters like Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, Bryce Miller or Bryan Woo. 

 

Reds pivot to Pivetta

The Reds could not land Garrett Crochet earlier than he was moved to the Pink Sox earlier at the moment.

Sasaki is simply 23 and restricted in what he can earn now, as he is coming over from Japan earlier than hitting the benchmark to be a real free agent. Meaning he is a completely separate case. 

In any other case, we’ll take Younger at his phrase that the Rangers like the place their rotation is in the meanwhile.

The rotation proper now has six robust candidates in Jacob deGrom, Nathan Eovaldi, Jon Grey, Tyler Mahle, Cody Bradford and Kumar Rocker.

 

Mets keen to pay down Marte

They’re nonetheless not solely lower-end starter varieties, but additionally frontline starters, reports the Boston Globe. Within the case of frontline starters, sure, that features free-agent ace Corbin Burnes. 

If the Pink Sox did land Burnes, the rotation proper now could be Burnes, Crochet, Tanner Houck, Kutter Crawford and Brayan Bello with Lucas Giolito returning round midseason.

Keller, 28, is owed $69.5 million from 2025-28. He threw 178 nearly completely league common innings in 2024. Jones, 23, struck out 132 batters in 121 ⅔ innings as a rookie this previous season. He additionally missed time with damage. Jones nonetheless has 5 seasons of group management remaining. One factor is definite: Pittsburgh won’t commerce Paul Skenes. It appears everybody else is on the desk.

 

Might Bregman be subsequent?

Alex Bregman has been the perfect hitter obtainable in free company ever since Juan Soto agreed to his $765 million megadeal. So will the star third baseman discover a deal this week? MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand studies there’s a “sense” that Bregman could possibly be subsequent to signal with the incumbent Astros together with the Yankees, Pink Sox and Tigers as groups to observe.

 

Nationals, others in on Christian Walker

Free agent first baseman Christian Walker is drawing curiosity from “a number of groups,” together with the Nationals, reports Fansided.

Nationals fascinated with Torres

Add the Nationals to the Angels and Blue Jays as a group with curiosity in free-agent infielder Gleyber Torres, according to the New York Post.

The Nationals have Luis García at second base and CJ Abrams at brief. Commerce deadline pickup José Tena is at present slated to be the group’s third baseman subsequent 12 months, and high prospect Brady Home is primarily a 3rd baseman now.

Torres turns 28 later this month and is without doubt one of the youngest free brokers obtainable this offseason. He had a down 12 months with the Yankees in 2024, slashing .257/.330/.378 general, although he was wonderful after shifting to the leadoff spot in August, and once more within the postseason. Torres has a powerful observe report of hitting for energy with higher than common strikeout charges. Given his age and his down 2024, he could possibly be open to a short-term show your self contract that permits him rebuild inventory in 2025, and re-enter free company.

The most recent on Tucker is that the talks with the Yankees revolve round beginning pitcher Luis Gil, whereas talks with the Cubs embody proper fielder Seiya Suzuki and/or third baseman Isaac Paredes, according to the New York Post.

Tucker, 27, hit .289/.408/.585 (181 OPS+) in 78 video games for the Astros final season, piling up 23 homers and 4.7 WAR in that restricted time. He performed in 157 video games in 2023 and 150 in 2022, in order that shin damage that price him a lot of the season seems to be an outlier. 

 

Rangers made a run at Fried

Before Max Fried signed with the Yankees, the Rangers supplied him a seven-year contract value $190 million, reports the New York Post. They then pivoted to Nathan Eovaldi, who returned to Texas on a three-year deal worth $75 million. The 2 contracts have a really comparable common annual worth, so, within the short-term, the Rangers would have been spending the same sum of money. The distinction would have come later, in Years 4-7 of the Fried contract.

It is unclear if the Fried provide means the Rangers are ready to spend extra after re-signing Eovaldi (and buying and selling for Jake Burger and his close to league minimal wage), or in the event that they merely allotted these 2025 {dollars} otherwise. The 2023 World Sequence champions might use extra pitching depth, notably within the bullpen. The place participant teams appears principally set barring an Adolis García commerce.

 

Mets assembly with Pivetta

He had his surgical procedure in June and is prone to miss most of subsequent season, if not all of it.

When wholesome, Sandoval has a historical past of getting floor balls and suppressing arduous contact, one thing the Phillies prioritize (Ranger Suárez, Cristopher Sánchez, and many others.). The group that indicators Sandoval would stash him on the 60-day injured record subsequent 12 months whereas he rehabs, then plan on him contributing in 2026. Sandoval, 28, would stay below group management as an arbitration-eligible participant in 2026, although it’s potential a assured two-year contract is what it will take to win the free agent bidding warfare, so 2026 could be locked into the deal.

Third-base prospect Cam Smith, Chicago’s first -round choose in 2024, can also be of curiosity. The curiosity in Paredes and Suzuki signifies Houston needs to stay aggressive in 2025, and will not merely commerce Tucker for prospects.

For the Cubs, Tucker is a greater hitter than Cody Bellinger (who stays on the commerce block) and a greater defender than Suzuki. He can even be fairly a bit cheaper in 2025. The Cubs might flip Suzuki for Tucker, a greater and extra well-rounded participant, then look to signal Tucker to a long-term contract. The Yankees and Giants are additionally stated to be within the combine for Tucker. He’s a 12 months away from free company.

He’s a 12 months away from free company, so a commerce could be just like final 12 months’s one-year rental of Corbin Burnes for the Orioles.

Baltimore is reportedly searching for a high-end starter this offseason and Nathan Eovaldi, Max Fried, and Blake Snell have already signed. Burnes stays obtainable, although the O’s might not have the ability to beat out the Blue Jays, Giants, or Pink Sox in a bidding warfare. The Padres presumably need large league prepared items in a Stop commerce, one thing the Orioles might present given their MLB and Triple-A rosters.
