There was also a former Blue Jays' prospect released on Tuesday, as the Boston Red Sox designated Josh Winckowski for assignment, as well as Nathaniel Lowe. His best season with the American League East team was in 2023, where he had a 2.88 ERA and 3.91 FIP in 84.1 innings pitched. Unfortunately, Winckowski missed most of the 2025 season due to an elbow injury, only throwing 11.2 innings in six outings.

This was far more than a trim. NFL teams had to shear an enormous number of players from rosters Tuesday, dropping from as many as 90 players to 53 by 1 p.m. PDT. The league's tallest player and heaviest player both were cut. A former Rams star running back is out of a job. So is a star receiver. And so is one of Deion Sanders' sons, but not the one so many folks seem to love to despise.

Chris Flexen was released by the Cubs after declining an outright assignment. He will receive the remaining portion of his $1.5 million salary due to his service time.
