The winter meetings are MLB's annual showcase event. But labor issues may mean it does not return next winter.
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.
After the 2025 MLB winter meetings, here are the best remaining free agents.
Devin Williams is a Met, Jonathan Loaisiga and Luke Weaver are free agents, and “that’s why it’s been so important to bring in the controllable players that we got last trade deadline’’ Cashman said of closer David Bednar and fellow righty Camilo Doval.
Longtime play-by-play man Joe Buck is going into the Baseball Hall of Fame as the latest recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award. Buck’s father Jack, an iconic St. Louis Cardinals broadcaster, was the Frick Award winner in 1987, and the Bucks are the first father-son duo to win the award. Joe Buck has called 24 World Series and 21 All-Star Games.
The 2025 winter meetings did not quite match the excitement of last year's event, highlighted by Juan Soto's record-breaking deal with the New York Mets, but they still produced a handful of major free‑agent signings.
The Chicago Cubs offseason continues with nothing major to report on down in Florida. But that doesn't mean deals won't come.
