The New York Mets made several roster adjustments on November 4, 2025, acquiring right-hander Joey Gerber from the Tampa Bay Rays for cash and signing left-hander Brandon Waddell to a one-year Major League contract for 2026. The team also exercised options for Brooks Raley and A.J. Minter while declining Drew Smith's option, with Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz entering free agency.
The Houston Astros tendered contracts to all 11 of their arbitration-eligible players on Friday, ahead of the non-tender deadline. The team also signed right-hander Enyel De Los Santos and outfielder Taylor Trammell to one-year deals while parting ways with utilitymen Mauricio Dubón and Ramón Urías. These moves fill the Astros' 40-man roster to capacity as they pursue starting pitching and a left-handed bat this offseason.
