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.
As spring training approaches, Arizona Diamondbacks executives indicate the team plans further roster enhancements. General manager Mike Hazen and president Derrick Hall emphasized ongoing efforts to bolster pitching and other areas. Despite recent signings, more moves are anticipated before camp opens on February 10.
