"After weeks of a relatively frozen rotation market, things finally started to pick up this weekend when the Cardinals signed to a one-year deal while the Diamondbacks reunited with Kelly on a pact worth $40MM over two years. The top of the market is still largely untouched (aside from Dylan Cease), leaving plenty of viable options for interested teams like Framber Valdez, Tatsuya Imai, and Ranger Suarez."
"The market for relief pitching has been by far the fastest moving of the winter so far, and that didn't change this weekend. Kenley Jansen and Tyler Rogers both came off the board as the former inked a one-year pact with the Tigers while the latter landed with Toronto on a three-year deal. Precious few high-end relief arms remain available at this point, with Brad Keller and Pete Fairbanks standing out as the best of the rest."
Rotation interest increased as teams began making moves after a slow period, with the Cardinals signing a one-year deal and the Diamondbacks reuniting with Kelly on a two-year, $40 million pact. The top-tier rotation options remain largely untouched aside from Dylan Cease, leaving potential targets such as Framber Valdez, Tatsuya Imai, and Ranger Suarez available. The middle tier could accelerate now that Kelly signed, with Michael King generating buzz. The relief market has moved fastest, with Kenley Jansen signing a one-year deal with the Tigers and Tyler Rogers landing a three-year deal with Toronto, leaving few elite relievers available. The Mets signed switch-hitter Jorge Polanco to a two-year deal to man first base after Pete Alonso departed for the Orioles, despite Polanco's primary experience at second base.
