"This week could be a fun week for the remaining MLB free agents. With the start of Spring Training less than two weeks away for nearly all of baseball, many notable names remained unsigned. As a result, we could see several signings this week, and teams will continue to fill needs for 2026 and beyond. For the Braves, all eyes are on what starting pitching target they may finally agree to a deal with."
"The Reds finally found their middle of the order bat by signing veteran slugger Eugenio Suarez. The Diamondbacks have interest in veteran Carlos Santana as a way to add depth to first base. Also coming up in the near future is the World Baseball Classic. However, the big storyline is more and more players learning they may not have the insurance coverage needed to make it sensible to participate."
Spring Training begins in less than two weeks for most teams, leaving several notable free agents still unsigned and creating urgency for teams to make deals. Several signings could occur this week as clubs address roster needs for 2026 and beyond. The Braves remain focused on securing a starting pitching target. The Reds signed veteran slugger Eugenio Suarez to provide middle-of-the-order power. The Diamondbacks have shown interest in veteran Carlos Santana to add first-base depth. The World Baseball Classic approaches, but growing concerns about inadequate insurance coverage are prompting players to reconsider participation and could even force Puerto Rico to withdraw.
