MLB Offseason Trades and Signings Tracker

The MLB offseason is heating up with significant trades and signings shaping team strategies for the upcoming season. The Boston Red Sox have made headlines by acquiring catcher Willson Contreras from the St.

Louis Cardinals in exchange for right-handed pitchers Hunter Dobbins, Yhoiker Fajardo, and Blake Aita, along with $8 million in cash. Contreras, who has a career batting line of .258/.352/.459, is expected to play first base for the Red Sox, filling a critical position as Triston Casas's future with the team is uncertain.

The Cardinals, in return, add depth to their pitching staff with Dobbins, who has shown potential but is recovering from an ACL injury, as well as two promising prospects in Fajardo and Aita. Meanwhile, the Chicago White Sox signed Munetaka Murakami, a star from Nippon Professional Baseball, to a two-year contract worth $34 million, marking a significant investment in a player who generated considerable buzz in Japan but comes with questions about his ability to transition to Major League Baseball.

The Toronto Blue Jays have made a splash by signing Dylan Cease to a seven-year, $210 million deal, reflecting their commitment to bolster their rotation. Other notable moves include the Philadelphia Phillies re-signing Kyle Schwarber for five years and $150 million, ensuring their lineup remains potent as they aim for another deep playoff run.

The offseason is still unfolding, with teams making bold moves to enhance their rosters for 2026.
