MLB free agency is upon us, with the league's winter meetings underway in Dallas this week. The name on everyone's lips is Juan Soto, but he's not the only free agent who has a big decision to make this winter.
Here's a quick look at where things stand so far this offseason:
It was a less than ideal 48 hours for the New York Yankees after the crosstown Mets reportedly agreed to a 15-year, $765 million deal with Juan Soto.
New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Monday at baseball's winter meetings that he doesn't regret trading for Juan Soto from the San Diego Padres last offseason.
A day later, the Yankees made a splash of their own with a reported eight-year, $216 million contract with Max Fried, taking one of the major free-agent pitchers this offseason off the board.
"From the Yankees standpoint, no retreat, no surrender, we get back after it and find a way to put together a roster that our fans are going to be excited about," Cashman said. "And we want to defend that American League title and get back in the World Series and try to win it."
The Toronto Blue Jays made some noise on Tuesday with a trade for Guardians second baseman Andrés Giménez and pitcher Nick Sandlin. The Guardians received infielder Spencer Horwitz in return, though they promptly sent him to the Pittsburgh Pirates. In return, the Guardians received Josh Hartle, Luis Ortiz and Michael Kennedy. The Marlins also traded Jake Burger to the Rangers.
On Wednesday, trade speculation is heating up for Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker, with the Yankees, Cubs, Giants and Phillies reportedly vying for his services, per Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
Since the end of the World Series, the pitching market has been active, headlined by the Dodgers and Blake Snell agreeing to a five-year, $182 million deal.
Elsewhere around the league, the Mets and Frankie Montas are in agreement on a two-year, $34 million deal, while the A's signed Luis Severino to a three-year, $67 million deal -- the largest guaranteed contract in franchise history.
Japanese right-hander Roki Sasaki was posted Monday morning as the league's winter meetings got underway, according to MLB Network's Jon Morosi. Sasaki's posting opens a 45-day window, which begins Tuesday and runs through 5 p.m. ET Jan. 23. Every MLB team is now allowed to attempt to sway the 23-year-old talent to sign when the international amateur signing period opens Jan. 15.
