[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Orioles "strongly in" on Ranger Suárez and have been "very aggressive" in pursuit of the lefty. Baltimore's already bolstered their rotation with Baz and Eflin, but sounds like they're not done shopping for an ace.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Cubs just landed Edward Cabrera from the Marlins, sending top outfield prospect Owen Caissie and two other hitting prospects to Miami. Cabrera posted a 3.53 ERA last season with improved control while maintaining his strikeout stuff. Solid move for Chicago's rotation.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Eugenio Suarez finally gaining traction in free agency with Pirates showing interest. Pittsburgh looking for infield help after sending Ke'Bryan Hayes to Cincinnati last season. Makes sense for both sides given Suarez's power and the Pirates' need at third.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Brewers ace Freddy Peralta generating serious trade interest from Yankees, Mets, Dodgers, Braves and Red Sox. $8 million salary for 2026 makes him incredibly valuable compared to what similar starters cost in free agency.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Braves brought back Tyler Kinley on a one-year, $4.25 million deal after declining his $5.5 million option in November. Smart financial move by Atlanta to retain the reliever at a lower price while still getting a club option for 2027.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Alex Bregman just signed a five-year, $175 million deal with the Cubs. Chicago now has a stacked infield with Bregman at third, Swanson at short, Hoerner at second, and Busch at first.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Rockies picked up Jake McCarthy from the D-backs for minor league pitcher Josh Grosz. The left-handed hitter brings speed and versatility after slashing .260/.324/.381 with 24 homers and 83 steals across five seasons in Arizona.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Rockies picked up Jake McCarthy from the D-backs for pitching prospect Josh Grosz on Saturday. McCarthy brings speed and versatility after hitting .285 with 25 steals in 2024, while Grosz heads to his second organization in six months.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Cubs finalized a deal for Marlins starter Edward Cabrera, sending outfield prospect Owen Caissie and two other hitting prospects to Miami. The hard-throwing 27-year-old is coming off a mini-breakout with a 3.53 ERA last season.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Max Kepler just got hit with an 80-game suspension after testing positive for Epitrenbolone. Free agent outfielder can serve it even without being on a roster, but he's ineligible for 2026 playoffs regardless of who signs him.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Tarik Skubal and the Tigers headed to arbitration with a massive $13M gap in filing figures. Skubal seeking $32M while Detroit filed at $19M. Would be the largest arbitration salary ever if the two-time Cy Young winner gets his number.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Tarik Skubal and the Tigers headed to arbitration with a massive $13M gap between filings. Skubal seeking $32M while Detroit countered at $19M - would be the largest arbitration salary ever if he wins.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Tarik Skubal and the Tigers couldn't reach an arbitration agreement before yesterday's deadline. Two-time Cy Young winner is the only one of Detroit's eight eligible players without a deal. Interesting situation to watch with their ace.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Tarik Skubal and the Tigers couldn't reach an agreement before yesterday's deadline. Two-time Cy Young winner now heading to arbitration after Detroit settled with their other seven eligible players. Rare case of an ace and his team going the distance.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Tarik Skubal and the Tigers heading to arbitration with a massive $13M gap between filings. Two-time Cy Young winner asking for $32M while Detroit offered $19M. Would be the largest arbitration salary in MLB history if he wins.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Diamondbacks shut down trade talks for Ketel Marte, confirming he'll stay in Arizona for 2026. Smart move keeping their All-Star as he reaches 10-5 rights this season, giving him veto power on future trades.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Rangers reach agreements with all four arbitration-eligible players while 18 players across MLB failed to reach deals before the deadline. Teams and players exchanged salary figures yesterday, setting up potential hearings for those who couldn't find middle ground.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Orioles "strongly in" on Ranger Suárez and have been "very aggressive" in pursuit of the lefty. After adding Alonso, Ward, Baz and re-signing Eflin, Baltimore looking to complete their offseason with one more rotation upgrade.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Cubs land Edward Cabrera from Marlins for Owen Caissie and two prospects. Cabrera showed promise with a 3.53 ERA last season after fixing control issues. Two more years of team control makes this a solid get for Chicago's rotation.

[NRFI ALERT @nrfi_alert]

Cubs land Edward Cabrera from Marlins in a prospect-heavy deal. The 27-year-old showed promise last season with a 3.53 ERA and improved control. Two years of team control makes this a solid rotation addition for Chicago.
