Brandon Nimmo (OF - TEX)

Mets front office taking heat with fan favorites Alonso, Díaz and Nimmo headed out of town. Brandon Nimmo went first. Then it was Edwin Díaz and Pete Alonso on back-to-back days at baseball’s winter meetings. Three fan favorites headed out the door in 2 1/2 weeks — a powerful gut punch to angry New York Mets fans wondering what on earth the front office is thinking. As the club embarks on a major makeover, suffice to say owner Steve Cohen and president of baseball operations David Stearns are not the most popular couple in Queens right now. Stearns says there is work to do, but there are many good players available and he's confident the Mets will like their team when opening day arrives.

Jorge Polanco (DH/2B - SEA)

[Last Word on Sports] - The A’s Offseason: Who They Could Add in Free Agency. As the offseason heats up, the Athletics continue their long-term rebuild, striking a balance between a young, promising core and the need for select veteran additions. The Athletics are unlikely to chase mega-contracts, but strategic signings in free agency could provide production, leadership, and stability without compromising payroll flexibility. Among the top targets from this year’s free-agent class are Eugenio Suárez, Jorge Polanco, and Emilio Pagán — players who combine upside, positional fit, and realistic contract demands.

Mandatory Credit: John Froschauer-Imagn Images[/caption] Potential Targets for the Athletics in Free Agency Power at Third remains one of the most appealing corner infield bats available in . Now in his early 30s, he continues to offer elite power, having posted 49 home runs and 118 RBIs in 2025. For the A’s, Suárez would represent a rare middle-of-the-order threat, capable of anchoring the lineup while complementing the team’s speed and contact-oriented approach. Beyond his on-field production, Suárez brings veteran leadership and postseason experience, qualities that are invaluable for a clubhouse filled with young players transitioning to the majors. The Athletics could pursue a two-year deal in the $22 million per season range, which provides short-term impact without limiting future flexibility. A three-year deal at $20 million per season would give slightly more stability while maintaining manageable payroll obligations. A Reliable Infielder presents another opportunity for the A's to improve their infield depth. A switch-hitter capable of playing multiple positions, Polanco offers both contact and moderate power. In , he posted a .265/.326/.495 slash line with 26 home runs and 78 RBI, demonstrating consistent production while maintaining positional versatility for the Seattle Mariners. For the Athletics, he could rotate between second and third base or serve as a utility option, allowing the team to maximize roster efficiency. A two-year contract in the $12–15 million per year range would provide the A’s with cost-controlled production while giving Polanco a chance to re-establish himself as a high-impact everyday player. Desperate Relief Help Finally, could address one of their perennial weaknesses: bullpen stability. As a free agent, Pagán had a strong 2025 season, posting a 2.88 ERA over nearly 70 innings while converting 32 of 38 save opportunities. Adding him would give the A’s a reliable late-inning presence and experienced arm to guide younger relievers. A one-year deal in the $3–5 million range, potentially with performance incentives, would provide a high reward-to-risk ratio. For a team with limited payroll flexibility, acquiring an established bullpen arm without long-term financial commitment is a practical and strategic move. The Last Word Together, Suárez, Polanco, and Pagán would allow the Athletics to combine youth with proven veterans in a way that addresses multiple roster needs. Suárez provides corner power, Polanco adds versatility and consistent contact, and Pagán stabilizes the bullpen. While none of these signings are blockbuster moves on the scale of Luis Severino (at least financially), each represents a realistic, high-value addition that could elevate the team immediately while preserving flexibility for the future. Mark Kotsay expressed hope that the Athletics can keep their young core intact for the foreseeable future — Athletics on NBCS (@NBCSAthletics) Their 2026 offseason strategy is clear: pursue affordable, high-impact veterans who can complement a young core, provide leadership, and deliver production in areas that have long been weaknesses. If the Athletics could secure one or more of these free agents, they could make a meaningful leap in competitiveness while keeping their rebuild on track.

[NBC Sports Bay Area] - Athletics reportedly trade Rule 5 draft pick Ryan Watson to Red Sox. The Athletics reportedly are acquiring another infield prospect, this time from the Boston Red Sox. Justin Riemer will be joining the A’s organization in exchange for right-handed pitcher Ryan Watson, per . Red Sox trade Justin Riemer to A’s. — Chris Cotillo (@ChrisCotillo) To be clear: Red Sox getting Rule 5 reliever Ryan Watson from A’s for minor leaguer Justin Riemer. 1 for 1 deal, per sources. — Chris Cotillo (@ChrisCotillo) Watson was selected sixth overall by the A’s on Wednesday in the MLB Rule 5 Draft from the San Francisco Giants. Riemer, 23, was selected by the Red Sox in the fourth round of the 2023 draft. He played in 76 games with Boston’s High-A affiliate and six for the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs. He plays multiple positions, but profiles long-term as a second baseman according to Cotillo. The A’s acquired three other right-handed pitchers in the Rule 5 draft: Abel Mercedes, Darlin Pinales and Jorge Marcheco. The A’s, however, lost two catchers to the draft: 2022 first-round pick Daniel Susac and Abrahan Gutierrez. Susac, a Roseville native, was selected fourth overall by the Minnesota Twins and . General manager David Forst thinks highly of Susac, but with catchers Shea Langeliers and Austin Wynns with firmly cemented roles on the major league team, the A’s left their former first-round pick unprotected for the Rule 5 draft. “The catch-and-throw skills have gotten a lot better,” Forst said. “He may be challenged offensively. Vegas has a way of helping some guys’ numbers, but that’s the case with anybody in this situation. The bat will determine probably if he’s able to stick or not. “He has a chance to be in a good situation and they can get him good matchups and that’s when it does work out for guys, is when they have a specific role and fill it.”
