Commanders Take a $30M Gamble on Okonkwo at Tight End

The Commanders opened free agency by signing tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo to a three-year, $30 million deal, a bold move after missing on several top targets. The 26-year-old posted a career-high 560 receiving yards with the Titans in 2025 and should step into a featured role in Washington's offense, bringing yards after the catch and upside. While the contract seems steep for a player with modest proven production, it’s a calculated risk given limited alternatives and Okonkwo’s potential to improve with a higher-quality quarterback.

Pirates bet on Ozuna with short-term DH upgrade

Pirates bet on Ozuna with short-term DH upgrade

The Pittsburgh Pirates agreed to a one-year, $12 million contract with Marcell Ozuna (pending a physical), adding a right-handed bat to bolster the lineup. Ozuna will earn $10.5 million in 2026 with a $1.5 million buyout on a $16 million mutual option for 2027. The 35-year-old had a down 2025 season (.232/.355/.400, 21 HR) hampered by a hip injury and declining bat speed, but Pittsburgh hopes he can produce as a designated hitter. The move pushes payroll to about $105 million, reshapes the lineup with Ozuna, O’Hearn, Lowe and Horwitz, and effectively ends Andrew McCutchen’s Pirates tenure while boosting odds for a wild-card push.

The Yankees outbid other contenders like the Rangers and Red Sox, securing Fried by offering a deal that surpassed David Price's record for a lefty starter.

Angels Secure Catcher Travis d'Arnaud with Two-Year Contract

The Los Angeles Angels have signed veteran catcher Travis d'Arnaud to a two-year, $12 million deal, following his release from the Atlanta Braves. This move comes as the Angels also hire former Braves catching coach Sal Fasano as an assistant pitching coach. The Angels designated right-hander Guillo Zuñiga for assignment to make room for d'Arnaud. The signing adds to the Angels' payroll, which is projected to increase next year. Meanwhile, the Angels are considering their options with catcher Matt Thaiss, who is out of options and eligible for arbitration.
