Fantasy Baseball Offseason Tracker: Key Player Updates

Emilio Pagan has re-signed with the Cincinnati Reds on a two-year, $20 million deal, securing his position as the team's closer after a successful 2025 season where he recorded 32 saves with a 2.88 ERA.

Meanwhile, the New York Mets have signed Anthony Kay, who posted a 1.74 ERA in Japan, and Cody Ponce, who enjoyed success in the KBO with a 1.89 ERA and 252 strikeouts, to bolster their bullpen. The Toronto Blue Jays have acquired Ponce for three years at $30 million, while the Baltimore Orioles are bringing Ryan Helsley on board to serve as closer, banking on his potential after a disappointing stint with the Mets.

Additionally, the Mets are making a significant commitment to Devin Williams, paying him three years and $45 million, with expectations he will reclaim the closer role. Other notable moves include Brandon Nimmo's trade to the Texas Rangers, Gleyber Torres accepting the Tigers' qualifying offer, and Josh Naylor's return to the Seattle Mariners after a productive 2025 season.

The offseason is heating up with several key player movements that will impact fantasy baseball rosters in the upcoming season, as reported by CBS Sports.
