MLB Hot Stove tracker: Live updates on news, rumors, signings and trades for 2026 free agency
The Sporting News is tracking MLB rumors, signings and trades from the MLB offseason.
The 2026 MLB offseason, already set to be unique due to an impending lockout, will take on an even more urgent pace in November. With the Milwaukee Brewers recently crowned champions, there will be no Winter Meetings for executives to utilize and teams will be racing to make as many roster moves as possible before the lockout ends in the spring.
Among the top free agents expected to be in play are Tarik Skubal, Randy Arozarena, Seiya Suzuki, Michael King, Freddy Peralta, and Teruaki Sato, the Japan triple-crown winner. Other notable names on the trade market include Jarren Duran, C.J. Abrams, Mason Miller and Zach Neto.
