The Philadelphia Phillies have agreed to a three-year, $45 million deal with catcher J.T. Realmuto, pending a physical, after missing out on free-agent infielder Bo Bichette. The contract includes incentives that could add $5 million per year, bringing the total value to $60 million. This move provides stability behind the plate for the Phillies' pitching staff entering the 2026 season.
Free-agent catcher Danny Jansen has agreed to a two-year, $14.5 million contract with the Texas Rangers, addressing a key offseason need at the position. The 30-year-old hit 14 home runs in 2025 while splitting time between the Rays and Brewers. The Rangers also reportedly added relievers Alexis Díaz and Tyler Alexander on the same day.

The Seattle Mariners traded catching prospect Harry Ford and pitching prospect Isaac Lyon to the Washington Nationals for left-handed reliever Jose A. Ferrer on Saturday. The deal addresses Seattle's need for bullpen depth while providing Washington with a potential long-term catcher. Ferrer, who served as Washington's closer after the trade deadline, brings high-velocity stuff to complement the Mariners' late-inning options.
