Another Winter Meetings has come and gone, and while the first day of baseball’s premier offseason event was a quiet one, the last two days provided some serious fireworks that will help shape the 2026 season.

The Marlins are engaged in trade talks with the Baltimore Orioles and other clubs about starting pitcher Edward Cabrera, according to The Athletic. Cabrera was solid in 2025 with a 3.53 ERA in 137 2/3 innings but also hit the injured list twice, once with an elbow sprain.

The winter meetings are MLB's annual showcase event. But labor issues may mean it does not return next winter.

The New York Yankees have made their first post-Winter Meetings free agent signing. The Yankees have signed right-handed relief pitching prospect Bradley Hanner

So why were the Winter Meetings so slow? And what's next this winter? As mentioned, it was a relatively slow week at this year's Winter Meetings. It was largely viewed as a place for conversation but not much movement.

The Giants didn't make any big moves, but there are still avenues for filling their needs. But some needs seem more fillable than others.

The Chicago Cubs offseason continues with nothing major to report on down in Florida. But that doesn't mean deals won't come.

Yesterday, the A’s lost Daniel Susac in the Rule 5 Draft to the Minnesota Twins, who then flipped him to the Giants. Two picks later, the Athletics selected pitcher Ryan Watson from San Francisco and then traded him to the Red Sox for infielder Justin Riemer and cash.
