Since we have our first moves of 2026 here's a new thread to post moves.

1B Eric Wagaman acquired from the Marlins for MILB P Kade Bragg, with Ryan Fitzgerald DFA'd.

Updating with Brujan added last week then DFA'd today to make room for Tristan Gray. 

 

Caratini yet to be officially signed so they will need to DFA another player when the signing is official.

[lecroy24fan]

And Brujan has been traded to the Mets for cash.

 

Bringing back Taylor Rogers we also necessitate another 40 man move. It's a 40 right now before adding him and Caratini.

[lecroy24fan]

Pierson Ohl and Jhonny Pareda have been DFA'd.

Whew! Good deal.

No need to decide  who stays between Outman and whichever nondescript backup infielder currently resides on the 26 man. We can keep both!!
