January 2026 BLOCKBUSTER

Diamondbacks Receive

Nolan Arenado
3B | Age 34 | 8x All-Star, 10x Gold Glove

Cardinals Receive

Prospects TBA
Package of minor league talent
Salary Relief
Cardinals shed remaining contract

Trade Analysis

The Diamondbacks make a major splash, adding Arenado to a lineup that already features Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte. At 34, Arenado's defense remains elite (Gold Glove caliber) even as his offensive numbers have declined. Arizona is betting on a bounceback in the desert. For St. Louis, this is about resetting the roster and getting younger after a disappointing 2025 campaign.

Winner: Diamondbacks (if healthy)
December 2025 BLOCKBUSTER

Orioles Receive

Taylor Ward
OF | Age 30 | Proven MLB bat

Angels Receive

Grayson Rodriguez
RHP | Age 25 | Former Top Prospect
Was #3 Overall Prospect (2022)

Trade Analysis

A stunning deal that sent shockwaves through the league. Baltimore parts with their former top pitching prospect Rodriguez, who has struggled with consistency at the MLB level, for the proven bat of Taylor Ward. The Orioles are in win-now mode and needed outfield help. The Angels are banking on Rodriguez's upside - his stuff is still electric when he's on. High-risk, high-reward for both sides.

Winner: TBD - Both Teams Took Risks
December 2025 Major

Yankees Receive

Ryan Weathers
LHP | Age 25 | Rotation depth

Marlins Receive

Dillon Lewis
Prospect
Brendan Jones
Prospect
Dillon Jasso
Prospect
Juan Matheu
Prospect

Trade Analysis

The Yankees add rotation depth in Weathers, a lefty who showed flashes with the Marlins. Miami continues its rebuild, stockpiling four prospects from the Yankees system. Weathers has the stuff to be a solid back-end starter in New York, giving them insurance behind their top arms.

Winner: Yankees (Short-term)
December 2025 Major

Cubs Receive

Edward Cabrera
RHP | Age 26 | High-upside arm

Marlins Receive

Prospects TBA
Minor league package

Trade Analysis

The Cubs add another arm as they retool for contention. Cabrera has electric stuff but has battled injuries and inconsistency. At 26, there's still time for him to put it together, and Chicago's pitching development program gives him a good chance. The Marlins continue their fire sale, moving anyone with value for prospects.

Winner: Cubs (Upside play)
November 2025 Minor

Braves Receive

Mauricio Dubon
IF | Age 30 | Utility player

Astros Receive

Nick Allen
IF | Age 26 | Defensive specialist

Trade Analysis

A swap of utility infielders. Dubon gives Atlanta a versatile bench piece who can play multiple positions. Allen provides Houston with defensive insurance in the infield. Neither player is likely to move the needle significantly, but both fill roster needs for their new teams.

Winner: Even

Trade Rumors to Watch

RUMOR WATCH LIST

Players On The Block

Ketel Marte (D-backs) - GM Mike Hazen reportedly running out of patience. Multiple teams inquiring on the All-Star 2B.

Freddy Peralta (Brewers) - One exec says Milwaukee should get MORE than Detroit wants for Tarik Skubal. Peralta only owed $8M next year.

Luis Robert Jr. (White Sox) - Despite rumors, sources say there's been "no traction" on a Robert trade. Chicago may be holding out for a bigger package.
