Marlins’ Stowers and Ruiz Suffer Injuries, Imaging Pending

Kyle Stowers left Friday's Grapefruit League game with right hamstring tightness and Esteury Ruiz exited with a left oblique strain; imaging results have not yet been released. Stowers has a history of a minor hamstring issue and has mostly been limited to live batting practice, while Ruiz’s oblique could sideline him for weeks if not minor. If Stowers opens the season on the 10-day injured list, internal options like Javier Sanoja, Heriberto Hernandez, Christopher Morel, or Connor Norby could fill in in left field, and Miami may seek further outfield depth via trades or free agents depending on camp outcomes. Manager Clayton McCullough provided no new updates on imaging.

Yankees Option Jasson Domínguez to Triple-A, Solidify Veteran Outfield

Yankees Option Jasson Domínguez to Triple-A, Solidify Veteran Outfield

The Yankees optioned outfielder Jasson Domínguez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as they finalize their 2026 outfield around Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham and Aaron Judge, with Giancarlo Stanton at DH. Domínguez, who isn’t a fit for a short-side platoon, will get everyday playing time in the minors and would be the first call-up if an injury or underperformance opens a spot. The move also raises brief service-time questions, though recall timing could affect arbitration implications; this marks Domínguez’s second of three option years.

Royals add veteran Marte on short-term deal to shore up outfield

The Kansas City Royals reportedly signed Starling Marte to a one-year contract to bolster a weak outfield. Marte, 37, hit .270/.335/.410 with nine homers and seven steals in 98 games for the Mets last season and would likely serve mainly as a designated hitter with limited outfield time due to defensive limitations, as Isaac Collins and Lane Thomas compete for playing time.

Royals Tap Starling Marte on a One-Year Deal

The Kansas City Royals have agreed to a one-year MLB contract with Starling Marte, pending a physical and a roster move. Marte, who will be 37, comes off an injury-plagued stint with the Mets but posted a .269/.331/.398 line with 16 homers across 2024–25 and could add veteran depth to KC’s outfield/DH mix, joining Isaac Collins, Lane Thomas, and Jac Caglianone as the Royals bolster left/right-field options. The deal fits KC’s modest payroll outlook in the mid-$140s millions and provides flexibility as they seek upgradeable depth without a long-term commitment.

Yankees weigh right-handed outfield addition to balance lefty-heavy lineup

The Yankees, after re-signing Cody Bellinger and Trent Grisham, are weighing options to add a right-handed-hitting outfielder, exploring free-agent and trade targets such as Randal Grichuk, Austin Slater, and Austin Hays, with Jasson Domínguez as a potential fourth outfielder and Spencer Jones waiting for a major-league opportunity; no move is imminent as they assess how best to handle left-handed pitching.

Mets Eye Rotation Depth and Center-Field Upgrade After Bichette Move

The Mets, buoyed by Bo Bichette’s deal, continue pursuing rotation depth and a versatile center-field option, with Cody Bellinger as the top outfield target on a shorter-term pact. They’re also weighing pitcher additions (MacKenzie Gore, Kris Bubic) and exploring other routes to upgrade the rotation, including potential trades or additional short-term free agents, while balancing payroll and positional flexibility.

Dodgers Signal Teoscar Hernandez Stay Despite Tucker Addition

Despite trade rumors sparked by Kyle Tucker’s joining the Dodgers, Teoscar Hernandez is likely to remain with Los Angeles for Opening Day, with the plan to move him to left field as Tucker takes right; outfield competition would feature Andy Pages and Tommy Edman in center with Alex Call in reserve, and Edman potentially moving to second base, as the Dodgers balance depth, contract deferrals, and a relatively thin market for Hernandez.

Tucker to Dodgers: four-year, $240M outfield blockbuster

The Dodgers reportedly signed Kyle Tucker to a four-year, $240 million contract (about $60 million per year) with a $64 million signing bonus, $30 million deferred, and opt-outs in 2027 and 2028. Tucker, a four-time All-Star who hit .266/.377/.464 with 22 homers and 73 RBIs in 2025 after being with the Cubs, will join an outfield anchored by Betts, Ohtani and Freeman, addressing a key Dodgers need. The Cubs will receive a compensatory draft pick, and this marks L.A.’s second major offseason move after Edwin Díaz.

Rays Sign Cedric Mullins to One-Year Deal Amid MLB Trade Rumors

The Tampa Bay Rays have agreed to a one-year, $7 million deal with outfielder Cedric Mullins, aiming for a bounceback season in 2026 after a challenging 2025. Mullins, 31, has been a versatile player with power, speed, and defense, though his recent performance has declined. The Rays, who have a full roster, see Mullins as a potential everyday center fielder and a veteran presence, fitting their budget-conscious approach to offseason moves.

Dodgers Eyeing Kyle Tucker in 2025 Free Agency

The Dodgers are interested in signing free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker to strengthen their lineup, especially in the outfield, despite their record payroll and previous high-profile pursuits. Tucker, a versatile 28-year-old, would complement their star-studded infield, though his left-handed batting could create slight imbalance. His recent injuries have impacted his offensive stats, but he remains a top target in MLB free agency.
