According to Baseball Savant, he ranked in the 95th percentile in Batting Run Value and the <a href="https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/ketel-marte-606466?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb" rel="noopener">96th percentile in xBA.</a></p><p>The three-time All-Star could be dealt as Arizona attempts to upgrade both its starting rotation and bullpen. Some teams may be skeptical of making a deal due to his <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6874837/2025/12/09/mlb-trade-market-winter-meetings-ketel-marte/" rel="noopener">past clubhouse issues,</a> but <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/phillies-perfect-trade-offer-for-diamondbacks-ketel-marte">Marte’s production and contract situation could still make him highly attractive</a> to potential contenders.</p><p>“Marte, 32, is owed $102.5 million over the next six seasons, including $41 million in deferrals that do not get paid out until 10 years after the money is earned,” Rosenthal wrote. “Factoring in the deferrals, his average annual value for luxury-tax purposes is $14.6 million, making him particularly attractive to big-market teams trying to stay under certain thresholds.”</p><p>Even if the Yankees wanted to acquire Marte, it is unclear whether they would be a good fit for the 2023 NLCS MVP. Jazz Chisholm Jr. is currently slated to play second base, while Anthony Volpe and Ryan McMahon are expected to play shortstop and third base, respectively, once the team is at full strength.</p><p>The Diamondbacks could look to move on from Marte, but barring a change of heart, it is doubtful that he will end up with the Yankees.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 30-year-old Rhode Island native and Boston College alum is reportedly hoping to decide on his next destination soon.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-mets/mets-rumors-new-york-pursue-michael-king-free-agency">King, who spent the first five seasons of his MLB career with the Yankees</a>, developed into a top-tier starting option during his two-year run with the San Diego Padres. In 2024, his first full season as a starter, he posted a 2.95 ERA in 173⅔ innings with a 3.33 FIP and a 27.7% strikeout rate, earning seventh place in NL Cy Young Award voting. Over his two seasons in San Diego, he went 18-12 with a 3.10 ERA in 46 appearances (45 starts), compiling 277 strikeouts, 89 walks, and one shutout.</p><p>The 2025 season, however, was overshadowed by injuries. King was limited to 15 starts due to a nerve issue in his shoulder and a minor knee injury late in the year. Before the shoulder issue, he performed exceptionally in ten appearances with a 2.59 ERA, 3.26 FIP, and 28.4% strikeout rate. Upon returning, he experienced a slump over five appearances, putting up a 6.11 ERA, 14.5% strikeout rate, and 10.8% walk rate. Having faced his fair share of challenges, King still shone in the postseason, moving to the bullpen for the Padres’ Wild Card series against the Chicago Cubs and striking out the side in a scoreless inning.</p><p>In November, King rejected San Diego’s qualifying offer, opening the door for a multi-year free-agent deal while ensuring the Padres will receive a compensatory draft pick from any team that signs him.</p><p>Of the three teams pursuing him, the Orioles have the clearest need for starting pitching. Baltimore floundered in the past season after their offseason decisions on Charlie Morton, Tomoyuki Sugano, and Zach Eflin did not pan out, leaving Kyle Bradish and Trevor Rogers as the most promising rotation pieces. King would instantly become the staff ace and upgrade a rotation that ranked among the league’s worst, all while likely fitting under a reasonable contract. MLBTR has projected King to sign a four-year, $80 million deal, ranking him as the #14 free agent this offseason. Not only that, he has been excellent against the Orioles, posting a 3-1 record with a 2.67 ERA in 14 career appearances, including two starts.</p><p>The Red Sox offer a different profile. King would return to New England, where he has personal ties, but Boston’s rotation is already deep. Garrett Crochet, Sonny Gray, Brayan Bello, and Patrick Sandoval figure to anchor the staff, with additional depth from Johan Oviedo, Kyle Harrison, and others. King would likely slot in as a No. 2 starter behind Crochet, providing stability while allowing the Red Sox to leverage their pitching depth in potential trades for offense.</p><p>For the Yankees, King is a familiar arm who can also provide rotation support. With Max Fried healthy and Gerrit Cole expected back from Tommy John surgery in 2026, New York’s rotation could still benefit from added depth, particularly with Clarke Schmidt set to miss most of the season and Allan Winans lacking MLB experience. King would add insurance and potentially shift existing starters like Cam Schlittler and Luis Gil into secondary roles.</p><p>As long as he remains healthy, King will be a high-impact signing and a valuable addition to any AL East rotation.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The move marks another smart roster decision as MLB free agency continues to unfold. Rosario returns to the Bronx after joining the club at last season’s trade deadline in a trade from the Washington Nationals, giving the Yankees roster a much-needed right-handed bat to help balance a left-heavy lineup.</p><p>Rosario, a nine-year major league veteran, has built a reputation for his versatility across the diamond and his consistent production against left-handed pitching. In 2025, he hit .302 vs. LHP with an .819 OPS, a key reason why the Yankees identified him early as a priority depth piece.

That balance has placed Peralta near the top of New York’s trade targets as the offseason unfolds.</p><p>In an article written by MLB’s Thomas Harrigan and published on the league’s official website, he <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/yankees-rotation-options-in-free-agency-trade-market" rel="noopener">outlined both sides</a> of New York’s interest. Harrigan framed the discussion around production, contract value, and team control, offering a clear look at why the Yankees could pursue Peralta and why caution remains warranted.</p><p>“Why it makes sense: Peralta’s numbers since he became a full-time starter in 2021 (3.30 ERA, 10.9 K/9) compare favorably to those of Dylan Cease, who just signed a seven-year, $210 million deal with the Blue Jays in free agency. Peralta’s 2026 salary with the Brewers? Just $8 million. The Yankees also have been linked to MacKenzie Gore, but Peralta is the safer bet at this point and could cost less to acquire as a pitcher with one year of team control remaining, compared to two for the Nats lefty.”</p><p>From a roster standpoint, Peralta offers immediate value. He produced ace-level results in 2025, combines strikeout efficiency with strong command, and fits cleanly into the middle of the Yankees pitching rotation. His affordable salary allows New York to preserve flexibility.</p><p>Still, Harrigan explained why the pursuit carries risk.</p><p>“Why it doesn’t: It’s going to take a strong offer to get Milwaukee to trade Peralta, and there’s going to be a lot of competition for his services due to his track record and team friendly salary. Do the Yankees really want to surrender young assets for a pitcher they could lose in free agency a year from now?”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-rumors-freddy-peralta-interest-yankees-red-sox-giants">Milwaukee is expected to demand</a> premium prospect value, forcing New York to weigh upside against limited control.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While the Dodgers have already secured back-to-back championships, their front office is exploring ways to bolster the roster even further. The New York Yankees have a unique opportunity to capitalize on this potential trade market and land an elite arm to pair alongside their impressive rotation.</p><p>Glasnow carries an elite strikeout profile and top-of-the-rotation upside that would make any contending team salivate. However, his contract situation and injury history make him a unique piece to evaluate. The Dodgers would need legitimate talent in return to consider parting with a pitcher of his caliber, and the Yankees possess enough organizational depth to construct a package that works for both sides without completely mortgaging the future.</p><h2>The Trade Framework for Tyler Glasnow</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Tyler-Glasnow-on-Oct.-16-2025.jpg?w=1024"><figcaption>Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Yankees’ ideal framework centers on providing immediate major league talent alongside promising young arms, avoiding a complete youth movement that would compromise their future development pipeline. This approach allows the Dodgers to inject proven talent into their roster while acquiring prospect capital for organizational continuity. A balanced approach proves more likely to gain traction than a one-sided ask that asks either front office to surrender too much value. Strategic positioning places both organizations in advantageous spots heading into the 2026 season and beyond.</p><p><b>Yankees’ Proposed Package:</b></p><p><b>Dodgers Receive:</b></p><ul><li>LHP Carlos Rodón</li><li>RHP Carlos Lagrange</li><li>RHP Cam Schlittler</li></ul><p><b>Yankees Receive:</b></p><ul><li>RHP Tyler Glasnow</li></ul><h2>Addressing the Dodgers’ Needs</h2><p>The inclusion of Rodón serves as the centerpiece of this proposal, directly replacing Glasnow in the Dodgers’ rotation. While Rodón is recovering from elbow surgery and won’t be available immediately at the start of the 2026 season, his track record as a three-time All-Star and 18-game winner in 2025 offers premium talent for LA to build around once he returns. Rodón’s existing contract provides the Dodgers with affordable ace-level production relative to market rates, effectively extending their championship window through controlled pitching costs. His proven postseason experience gives Los Angeles confidence in his ability to deliver when stakes are highest.</p><p>Los Angeles gains immediate prospect depth through players who have already proven their ability to produce at advanced levels. Lagrange, a 6’7″ right-handed pitcher, represents one of the Yankees’ most promising young arms with substantial developmental upside that could blossom into a legitimate major league contributor within the next two seasons. Schlittler’s inclusion adds established major league readiness; his strong 2025 rookie season performance demonstrates he can compete effectively at the highest level and provide immediate relief pitching support. The Dodgers’ willingness to trade Glasnow stems partly from organizational depth redundancy; receiving young controllable talent accelerates their timeline for sustained championship windows. This package acknowledges that reality while providing substantive major league production to offset any perceived rotation weakness during Rodón’s rehabilitation period.</p><h2>Why Both Teams Benefit</h2><p>For the Yankees, acquiring Glasnow transforms their rotation into an immediate contender capable of winning championships throughout the remainder of his contract. His presence alongside returning stars like Cole and Rodón creates a formidable starting five capable of competing for World Series crowns throughout his contract duration. The organization maintains enough prospect capital to address future needs without sacrificing core developmental assets like Jasson Dominguez or other premium young talent reserves. This trade allows the Yankees to compete now while preserving their long-term organizational flexibility and development pipeline integrity. The Dodgers receive cost-controlled major league talent and young arms with promising trajectories, supporting their sustainable competitive model.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

There have been a few players on the team who have been in trade rumors, with one of them being Jazz Chisholm Jr.</p><p>Cashman recently spoke about Chisholm and the possibility of trading him, and it sounds like he could be <a href="https://x.com/BryanHoch/status/1999206654319960284" rel="noopener">keeping the door open</a> on a deal, according to Bryan Hoch.</p><p>“He’s somebody who I think is currently part of the solution, someone that’s made us better by getting him two deadlines ago and giving us athleticism,” Cashman said. “He’s above-average. He’s an All-Star second baseman, great defense, steals bags, power — all that stuff. He’s been a good get. We will be open-minded. But again, my default is these are all individually good players. We acquired them for a reason.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/yankees-rumors-jazz-chisholm-jr-trade-far-fetched">Chisholm has a lot of value</a>, and if Cashman thinks that he could get better players or assets for him, it would not be a surprise if he moved on from him. Last season, he was the team’s most productive at bat behind Aaron Judge in the lineup, hitting 31 home runs with 80 RBI and an .813 OPS. He’ll be in the final year of his contract next season, and it’ll be interesting to see what the Yankees will do with him.</p><p>There have been rumors floating around that several second basemen could be in trade talks outside of Chisholm, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.</p><p>“A second baseman is going to move. Maybe multiple,” Passan wrote. “There is too much interest in Ketel Marte, Brendan Donovan and Brandon Lowe for a deal not to be consummated. It’s not just them, either. Jake Cronenworth is available. The Yankees have listened on <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/players/9e3a0945/jazz-chisholm-jr">Jazz Chisholm Jr</a>. The Mets’ overhaul could include moving Jeff McNeil.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 34-year-old reliever joins the A’s bullpen after pitching for the New York Yankees, bringing experience and stability to A’s bullpen depth during a major roster transition in West Sacramento.</p><p>He began his MLB career with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2017, following years of persistence in the minors. Over time,  <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/yankees-acquire-impactful-reliever-in-cubs-trade">Leiter established himself</a> as a versatile arm capable of handling both starting and relief duties. After short stints with the Toronto Blue Jays organization and a return to the minors, he resurfaced in the big leagues with the Chicago Cubs in 2022, where his refined splitter became his signature pitch. That success paved the way for opportunities with the Yankees and, now, the Athletics — a testament to how steady performance and adaptability can keep a pitcher’s career thriving into their mid 30s.</p><p>The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal took to his X, formerly Twitter, <a href="https://x.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/1999159275537506797?s=20" rel="noopener">sharing that</a> the right-handed pitcher had agreed to terms with the A’s, confirming the news early Thursday.</p><p>“Free-agent reliever Mark Leiter Jr. in agreement with Athletics, source tells @TheAthletic.”</p><p>Leiter’s stint in the Bronx ended when he was non-tendered in November after posting a 4.84 ERA across 59 appearances in 2025. His experience with multiple clubs adds valuable versatility and depth — two qualities the A’s bullpen needs entering next season.</p><p>For the Athletics, the contract represents a smart, low-risk investment with meaningful upside. If Leiter can regain the form he displayed with the Cubs in 2023 and 2024, he could emerge as a steady late-inning presence while mentoring the club’s younger relievers.</p><p>As the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/athletics/3d-look-of-teams-athletics-las-vegas-stadium-will-catch-fans-attention">Athletics</a> enter their second season in West Sacramento, the signing underscores their commitment to remaining competitive while maintaining flexibility in both roster development and payroll.

However, every team interested is being put on hold due to Kyle Tucker and Scott Boras.</p><p>Tucker is another highly coveted free agent yet to find his new team. Boras is privy to that, and is waiting until his contract is settled <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6880271/2025/12/10/yankees-cody-bellinger-roster-options/">before negotiating a new one</a> for Bellinger, via Brendan Kuty of The Athletic.</p><p>“They must be active sooner rather than later. A league source who has been briefed on talks with Bellinger’s agent, Scott Boras, said it seemed likely Boras could wait for Kyle Tucker to sign before completing a deal for Bellinger, who also seems to have plenty of suitors,” Kuty wrote. “The Yankees have problems that signing Bellinger alone wouldn’t solve, and they have the ability to get things done even if a Bellinger deal would almost definitely be their biggest offseason expenditure.”</p><p>Boras wants to see <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/mlb-rumors-kyle-tucker-yankees-cody-bellinger-backup-plan">how Tucker will re-shape the outfield market</a>. He can then go to teams with a clear outline of what he expects for Bellinger. It’ll force franchises like the Yankees and others to be patient. But in the end, it could get the slugger his best deal possible.</p><p>In his debut with the Yankees, Bellinger hit .272 with 29 home runs, 98 RBIs and 13 stolen bases. As they try and chase down a World Series title, New York knows getting the former MVP’s bat back in the lineup would go a long way. They just might need to wait before pen gets put to paper.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/mlb-stories/mlb-rumors-scott-boras-dr-seuss-outlining-cody-bellinger-landing-spots">Yankees deal with rumors around Cody Bellinger and other players</a>, there are also pitching threats that the team could be linked to, as discussed by MLB insiders.</p><p>In ESPN’s latest column coming out of the Winter Meetings, questions would be posed to insiders, such as answering the team of which team is under the most pressure. Jesse Rogers would say the Yankees, mentioning that the team needs to keep up with the Toronto Blue Jays’ offseason, with signing Japanese star pitcher Tatsuya Imai <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/47265901/mlb-winter-meetings-2025-winners-losers-takeaways-offseason-free-agency" rel="noopener">being at the forefront.</a></p><p>“For once, they are the team that needs to respond after the Blue Jays beat them on the field and now so far in the offseason,” Rogers wrote. “Toronto keeps adding while New York should try to at least maintain what it has — meaning Bellinger, or perhaps Tucker, should be in Yankees pinstripes as soon as possible. If the Yankees can add Imai, they’ll match Toronto’s addition of Cease. That would be a good thing. The two teams aren’t that far apart in talent, but Yankees general manager Brian Cashman can’t take his foot off the gas. The pressure is on in New York again.”</p><h2><b>Yankees linked to MacKenzie Gore </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Nationals-pitcher-Mackenzie-Gore-vs-Marlins.jpg"><figcaption>Jim Rassol-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>While the<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/mlb-rumors-yankees-still-favorite-cody-bellinger-mets-phillies-blue-jays-loom"> rumors will continue around the Yankees</a>, another pitcher that has been linked to the ball club is Washington Nationals’ left-hander MacKenzie Gore. Rogers would say that after the Winter Meetings, the one deal that could go down is a trade for Gore, with him listing New York as a fit.</p><p>“Where there is smoke, there is fire, meaning Washington Nationals starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore will be moved,” Rogers said. “His name came up a lot in Orlando, and there are enough motivated teams in part because he’s good and affordable. An American League East team, such as the New York Yankees or Orioles, fits for Gore — especially the latter, which might have an extra hitter or two to spare after signing Alonso. Gore fits in Baltimore on several levels.”</p><p>At any rate, it remains to be seen if the Yankees obtain Gore or Imai as the team looks to improve after finishing 94-68, losing to Toronto in the divisional series.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

One option could be trading away infielder Jazz Chisholm.</p><p>There <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-mets/mets-news-new-york-marcus-semien-blockbuster-rangers-trade">have been numerous second basemen</a> who have heard their name come up in trade talks.

Maybe multiple,” Passan wrote. “There is too much interest in Ketel Marte, Brendan Donovan and Brandon Lowe for a deal not to be consummated. It’s not just them, either. Jake Cronenworth is available. The Yankees have listened on Jazz Chisholm Jr. The Mets’ overhaul could include moving Jeff McNeil.”</p><p>While the Yankees have taken Chisholm trade calls. There’s no word if they have sent some of their own out. That is an important distinction. Just listening is general manager Brian Cashman’s job, he needs to find any way he can to make the team better. But if Cashman is the one making the calls, the New York is actively trying to trade Chisholm away.</p><p>For now, it appears that any trade conversation has been exploratory in nature. Connected to essentially all of the top free agents remaining, the Yankees must see what the roster looks like in full after any free agents are signed. If they believe trading Chisholm gets them closer to their goals, the Yankees will at least consider the possibilities.</p><p>In his first full season with New York, Chisholm was named to his second career All-Star Game. Over 130 games, he hit .242 with 31 home runs and 80 RBIs.</p><p>The Yankees would seemingly want that kind of power if they’re chasing a World Series. But New York could also capitalize on his All-Star season by trading him for more assets.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
