"The holiday lull is in full effect and there's hardly anything cooking for the Atlanta Braves at the moment. However, shortly after the holidays comes the arbitration deadline, and the Braves do have several arbitration-eligible players. Until we reach that point, our player review series is ongoing, and next up, we take a look at Sean Murphy. The Braves reportedly offered reliever Edwin Diaz a five-year deal, but he opted to sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers instead."
"The San Diego Padres re-signed right-hander Michael King to a three-year, $75M contract. King is eligible to opt out after the 2026 and 2027 seasons. The New York Mets made a minor deal on Thursday, adding reliever Kevin Herget on a minor league deal. Right before signing with his new team, left-hander John Means ruptured his Achilles while working out. He underwent successful surgery and will likely miss all of 2026."
