Braves Sign Veteran McCutchen to Minor League Deal to Bolster Depth

The Atlanta Braves signed veteran outfielder Andrew McCutchen to a minor-league contract and will send him to the Florida Complex League to get into playing shape. The 39-year-old is embarking on his 18th season and opened 2026 with the Rangers, posting a 55 wRC+ in 83 plate appearances and appearing in 13 games in the outfield, a modest showing that still brings veteran presence as the Braves cope with injuries (including Sean Murphy and Ronald Acuña Jr.) and after moving on from Rowdy Tellez. McCutchen’s addition adds depth and versatility in the outfield as Atlanta eyes potential upside if he recovers form.

Angels Sign Taijuan Walker to Minor League Deal for Rotation Depth

The Los Angeles Angels signed Taijuan Walker to a minor league deal after Philadelphia released him. Walker, 33, posted a rough 23 earned runs in 22 2/3 innings across five appearances (four starts) this season. The Angels will owe only the prorated league minimum if he reaches the majors, giving them inexpensive depth in a rotation that could use it while they evaluate options.

Canha Exits Rangers Minor League Deal, Eyes New MLB Opportunity

Veteran Mark Canha has been granted his release from the Rangers’ minor league contract after requesting to pursue other big‑league opportunities; the Rangers kept him in extended spring training near Scottsdale but ultimately chose Andrew McCutchen for the final roster spot. Canha, 37, impressed in spring (.286/.318/.500) but hasn’t played official games recently, and his last season with the Royals yielded a .212/.272/.265 line (49 wRC+), suggesting that an immediate MLB opportunity may be unlikely though minor league offers could be available.

Mets Bring in Mike Tauchman on MiLB Deal to Boost Outfield Depth

The Mets signed veteran outfielder Mike Tauchman to a minor-league contract with a non-roster invitee status, giving him a chance to break camp as New York reshuffles its outfield with Juan Soto to left and Luis Robert Jr. in center; MJ Melendez adds depth on the 40-man, and Carson Benge’s spring performance will determine whether Tauchman earns an MLB roster spot.

Rangers Bring In Gomber on Minor League Deal, Spring Training Invite

The Texas Rangers signed left-handed pitcher Austin Gomber to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training, adding pitching depth after addressing rotation needs with the Gore acquisition. Gomber, a 32-year-old veteran who debuted with St. Louis in 2018 and spent time with Colorado and Chicago, has struggled in recent seasons, notably in 2025, but posted solid Triple-A numbers and could compete for a fifth spot in camp, potentially breaking into the MLB rotation if spring results or injuries create an opening.

Mets Bring in Kimbrel on Minor League Deal With Spring Invite

The Mets are signing veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel to a minor-league contract with a spring-training invitation, a $2.5 million base if he makes the roster. After a turbulent 2024 and a strong late-season showing with the Astros in 2025, Kimbrel would join a Mets bullpen led by Devin Williams and face a crowded depth chart, but offers a low-risk avenue for veteran experience and potential late-season impact.

Red Sox Sign 99-MPH Reliever Tayron Guerrero to Minor League Deal

The Boston Red Sox signed right-hander Tayron Guerrero to a minor-league contract with an invite to major-league camp. The 35-year-old, who pitched for the Chiba Lotte Marines in Japan in 2025 after a 2019 MLB stint, is known for a 99 mph fastball but uneven command. He will report to camp with a shot at a midseason call if he impresses in exhibition action and at Triple-A Worcester.

Yankees Add Seth Brown on Minor League Deal for Spring Training Depth

The New York Yankees signed Seth Brown to a minor-league contract, giving the 33-year-old first baseman/outfielder a shot at spring training and depth roles. Brown had solid power during his Oakland years (notably 2021–22) but struggled in recent seasons, posting a poor big-league line last year despite strong minor-league numbers. With a crowded lineup (Rice, Domínguez, Judge, Stanton, and potential Bellinger) Brown’s path to the majors is not guaranteed, but the deal provides organizational depth and a chance for a call-up if needed.

Phillies Sign Veteran Reliever Lou Trivino to Minor League Deal

The Phillies signed veteran reliever Lou Trivino to a minor league deal, marking his third team in 2023 after recovering from Tommy John surgery and shoulder injuries. Trivino, with a career ERA of 3.86 and notable past success, is considered a depth addition as the Phillies have made significant roster upgrades, making a major league role unlikely for now.

Royals Sign Former Cy Young Winner Dallas Keuchel to Minor League Deal

The Kansas City Royals signed veteran pitcher Dallas Keuchel to a minor league contract to bolster their pitching depth, especially with injuries affecting their starting rotation. Keuchel, a former Cy Young Award winner, has experienced a decline in recent years but brings extensive MLB experience to the team. He will join a pitching staff that includes other journeymen and young prospects, providing additional options for the Royals as they navigate injuries and performance issues.
