The Los Angeles Angels have been particularly active, signing veteran starter Yusei Kikuchi to a three-year, $63 million contract, along with veteran right-handed starter Kyle Hendricks, catcher Travis d'Arnaud, and infielder Kevin Newman. These signings are part of the Angels' effort to end their postseason drought, which is now the longest in MLB after the Tigers' 2024 surge[1].
The Cincinnati Reds, who narrowly missed the postseason in 2023, have also made notable moves. They traded for pitcher Brady Singer and retained Nick Martinez by accepting his qualifying offer. The Reds are still looking to address their corner outfield and possibly first base/DH positions, with players like Tyler O'Neill, Michael Conforto, or Max Kepler in the outfield, and veterans like Paul Goldschmidt or Carlos Santana at first base being potential targets[1].
In free agency news, several high-profile players are being courted by division rivals. Juan Soto, who helped the Yankees reach the World Series, is being pursued by the Red Sox, who are stepping up their efforts to lure him away from their AL East rivals. The Yankees, meanwhile, are considering signing Corbin Burnes to strengthen their rotation, which has been plagued by injuries[2].
Additionally, the San Francisco Giants, under new president of baseball operations Buster Posey, are looking to upgrade their lineup. Christian Walker, who has consistently produced big numbers with the Arizona Diamondbacks, is a potential target to boost the Giants' power at the plate[2].
On the rule change front, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred is floating the idea of a `Golden At-Bat` rule, which would allow teams to send up any player they choose to the plate once per game, potentially in critical situations. This rule is gaining traction and could be a significant change to the game[3].
