Mega Deals ($100M+)
Kyle Tucker to Los Angeles Dodgers
4 years, $240 million
The biggest move of the offseason. Tucker joins Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani in what might be the most talented lineup in baseball history. The former Astro brings elite contact skills and 30+ HR power to an already loaded roster.
Alex Bregman to Chicago Cubs
6 years, $175 million
After declining offers from Houston and Boston, Bregman chose Chicago. The two-time All-Star and 2017 World Series champion brings elite defense and consistent production to the hot corner at Wrigley Field.

Ranger Suarez to Boston Red Sox
5 years, $130 million
Boston landed the ace they desperately needed. Suarez posted a 3.20 ERA and 4.7 fWAR for the Phillies in 2025 and has a 1.48 career postseason ERA. Combined with Garrett Crochet, the Red Sox have the best 1-2 punch in baseball.

Bo Bichette to New York Mets
3 years, $126 million
The Mets added yet another elite bat. Bichette gives them a true star at shortstop after years of searching. His bat plays anywhere, and the Mets are banking on a return to his All-Star form in Queens.
Max Fried to New York Yankees
8 years, $218 million
The largest guarantee ever for a left-handed pitcher. Fried brings postseason pedigree (1.52 career playoff ERA) and elite ground-ball rates to anchor the Yankees rotation.
Cody Bellinger to New York Yankees
5 years, $162.5 million
After declining his player option, Bellinger re-signs in the Bronx following his excellent 2025 campaign (131 wRC+). Combined with Fried, the Yankees have made massive moves to compete.
Notable Signings ($50M+)
Josh Naylor to Seattle Mariners
5 years, $92.5 million (full NTC)
The Mariners finally got a bat. Naylor led the AL with a .316 batting average in 2024 and brings desperately needed offense to Seattle's pitcher-friendly home.
Dylan Cease to Toronto Blue Jays
7 years (terms TBD)
Toronto made a massive rotation investment. Cease joins a Blue Jays team that also added Kazuma Okamoto ($60M) in their quest to return to contention.
Kazuma Okamoto to Toronto Blue Jays
4 years, $60 million
The Japanese slugger brings 40+ HR power to the Blue Jays. Toronto is betting big on international talent this offseason.
J.T. Realmuto Re-Signs with Phillies
3 years, $45 million
The best catcher in baseball stays in Philadelphia. Realmuto's elite defense and leadership were too valuable to let walk.
