After spending a couple of months on the Cleveland Guardians’ big league roster, veteran left-handed pitcher Kolby Allard has elected free agency following his waiver by the team.

As the Chicago Cubs aim for a return to postseason glory in 2025, adding veteran closer Kirby Yates could be the pivotal move to solidify their bullpen. The two-time All-Star’s experience may be just what the team needs to challenge for the National League Central title.

The Atlanta Braves are poised to address a critical bullpen need by pursuing reliever Tanner Scott, potentially adding a high-leverage lefty to their roster. With Scott’s impressive performance last season and the Padres looking to trim payroll, the Braves may seize this opportunity to strengthen their pitching lineup.
