The Mets on Wednesday re-signed reliever Ryne Stanek, according to multiple reports. New York acquired Stanek last season in a pre-deadline trade with the Seattle Mariners.

Alex Bregman is one of the top names left on the free agent market, but the Boston Red Sox don't appear to be in the running.

Free agent closer Kenley Jansen is reportedly valuing a chance at history as he goes through his free agency this winter. According to The Athletic, Jansen's ca

The New York Yankees, New York Mets, and Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly in fierce competition to land a sought-after left-handed reliever ahead of the 2025 MLB season.
