Worth noting:
- Pujols only came back for a year.
- Kershaw when healthy stayed effective until he was done.
- Wainwright only fell off a cliff his last year.
- Yadi was a part timer his last year (he was still ok).
- Tigers were stuck with Miggy's massive contract so he had to be there.

Mets incidentally just claimed him from the Red Sox about a month ago. He got roster-crunched again. Had a mildly useful season as a mostly-starter swingman a couple seasons ago but has not been great in MLB otherwise. Out of options. M's maybe think they can fix him & make him a decent reliever.
The Mariners have acquired Cooper Criswell from the Mets, a source tells Jorge Castillo. Criswell had been designated for assignment.

I know it's Nightengale but... he's overselling tf out of those last three names. Of those three only Leiter has tangibly shown anything resembling full season reliability as a starter, and that was last year alone.
The Texas Rangers starting rotation should be quite formidable now and give them a shot at the postseason with Jacob deGrom, Nathan Eovaldi, Mackenzie Gore, Jack Leiter, Kumar Rocker and Jacob Latz.

Glad I don't have to see any more social media rosterbation about this guy anymore.

One silver lining of this increasingly crazy arms-race for talent between the Dodgers and Mets is that in turn it's helping make AL teams a bit weaker, which incrementally helps a Mariners team that has mostly stood pat this offseason.

Full trade, per ESPN sources:

Mets receive: CF Luis Robert Jr.

White Sox receive: IF Luisangel Acuña and RHP Truman Pauley

The growing campaign for Felix Hernandez's HOF candidacy kind of surprises me. At least w/Edgar he had credible numbers to get in, his candidacy marginalized in the first place for silly reasons. Felix's numbers are inherently iffy thanks to his career collapse, but people can't look past his peak.

Go figure I move to Seattle during what's probably the mildest winter I've ever seen here. Certainly not bad! And yes we've got a couple months for things to turn. But polar vortex patterns this year seem to have perma-camped the cold shit over the Eastern US while we're getting warmer air.

... okay, that's kinda funny

Royals are going to try and boost dingers at their park (at the expense of some XBH and their pitchers' performances, most likely)

Just as I sing Garmin's praises, they're 1015ing my Firefox browser this morning (after forcing me to re-log in several times yesterday), so I had to pivot to Chrome just to access the web portal. I'm just hoping some overpaid coder in Olathe screwed up, not them target-limiting my IP address.

Garmin makes a lot of changes I don't like. But adding food tracking (and in turn dumping the clunky MyFitnessPal) is one of the best features they've added in a long time, and it's long overdue.

You can tell when I arrived and settled in at Seattle.

I find it hard to imagine that Ben Williamson isn't on the table or that the Cardinals want any veteran major leaguers when they're actively blowing up their roster to rebuild and have no real intention to contend next year. www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/12/mari...
Mariners Reluctant To Deal From Major League Roster

I'm back in Seattle and I should be hopelessly exhausted after moving my whole life into a new place. But instead I felt good enough to comfortably run 6 miles (between two runs) today. The energy apparently changed once I moved back here.

Not bad for a guy who has become Raul Ibañez with good defense. A's are looking ahead to life on Tropicana Avenue
@JeffPassan tweeted
BREAKING: Left fielder Tyler Soderstrom and the A's are in agreement on a seven-year, $86 million contract extension, the largest guarantee in franchise history, sources tell ESPN. The deal includes an eighth-year club option and has escalators that max it out at $131 million.
December 25, 2025 at 9:11 PM
That's a chunk of money to spend on a somewhat plus bat utility 1B/OF who's a bit minus defensively at every spot. But then again, readily available offense off the bench isn't anything for M's to shake a stick at.

Also, Luke Raley is basically a goner. They'll probably flip him somewhere ASAP.
