Major League Baseball’s offseason is coming to a close, with just three weeks until pitchers and catchers report in Arizona and Florida. However, there are still several top free agents, such as left-hander Framber Valdez and outfielder Cody Bellinger, waiting to sign contracts. Below is a summary of notable recent MLB moves.

Mets, Brewers Discuss Peralta Trade

The Mets are in discussions with the Brewers regarding a trade for ace Freddy Peralta. According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, Peralta, who is 29, is one of the few pitchers who has made at least 30 starts in each of the last three seasons and has recorded over 200 strikeouts in three straight years. With a salary of $8 million for the 2026 season, he represents a significant value to any team. The Mets have been active this offseason but need a strong presence in their pitching rotation.

The negotiations come on the heels of a trade between the Mets and the White Sox that sent outfielder Luis Robert Jr. to New York in exchange for utility player Luisangel Acuña and pitching prospect Truman Pauley.

The Mets have also added players such as Bo Bichette, Marcus Semien, and Jorge Polanco while losing key players like Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil, Brandon Nimmo, and Edwin Díaz.

Cardinals Interested in Veteran Outfielder

The Cardinals have shown interest in veteran outfielder Austin Hays, according to reports from the New York Post. Hays, who batted .266 in 2025 with 15 home runs, is an appealing option for the Cardinals, who are looking to balance their roster with more right-handed hitting.

In addition to the Cardinals, Hays has also drawn attention from the Yankees, who just re-signed Cody Bellinger, and several other clubs.

Twins Acquire Tristan Gray

The Twins have traded for infielder Tristan Gray from the Red Sox, sending minor league catcher Nate Baez in return. Gray, who has played in 47 major league games, will compete for playing time in Minnesota’s infield.
