The Orioles have acquired reliever Andrew Kittredge from
the Cubs for cash considerations.

Breaking Cubs news: Lefty starter Shota Imanaga is a
free agent, sources tell ESPN. The team rejected their option to extend his
contract out to a fifth year. That triggered his ability to exercise a $15
million player option for 2026. He declined that as well.
Mets decline Drew Smith's option for 2026 season

The Mets have declined their $2 million
option on right-handed reliever Drew Smith for the 2026 season.
Smith, 32, had inked a one-year deal with the
aforementioned team option in February of 2025 after having his second Tommy
John surgery the summer prior.
In 17.2 innings over 19 games for the Mets in
2024, Smith had a 3.06 ERA and 1.52 WHIP while striking out 23 batters -- a
rate of 11.7 per nine.
His season ended after an appearance on June
23, and he underwent Tommy John surgery with an internal brace procedure on
July 13.
Drew Smith back for less $$?
ReplyDeleteMorning day after Tom. Paul will back me up here... spent the day chasing doctors and meds.
DeleteI don't understand this one, unless the Mets Dock Danika didn't like the way the TJS surgery healed
Ya know...well enough to leave the hospital, not well enough to play 18 with Ray
