MLB Teams Active in Offseason Trades and Signings

The St. Louis Cardinals are considering trading Nolan Arenado to the New York Mets to relieve some of his $74 million contract, aiming for a World Series win opportunity for him. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Phillies are looking to bolster their roster, particularly in starting pitching, with interest in players like Garrett Crochet. The New York Mets are actively seeking to enhance their pitching lineup, showing interest in Clay Holmes, a former Yankees closer, who might transition from a reliever to a starter. Holmes, who has a history of starting in the minors, is seen as a potential asset to the Mets' rotation, especially after their recent signing of Frankie Montas. The Mets' pursuit of Holmes is part of a broader strategy to strengthen their roster, alongside their interest in high-profile free agent Juan Soto. These moves indicate significant offseason activity among MLB teams as they prepare for the upcoming season.
