- Sunday’s fall/winter ball updates: José Salas went 0-for-2 and played second base in the Arizona Fall League Fall Stars Game as the National League won, 9-3; Jan Mercado (RA12) homered, walked and caught a shutout in the Puerto Rican Winter League season opener; Jerar Encarnación (Águilas Cibaeñas) blasted a walk-off home run for his 12th hit of the week; Jesús Sánchez and Bryan De La Cruz combined to go 4-for-8 with two doubles and a triple for Toros del Este.

- No need for Edwin Díaz to test the open market this winter: the Mets are committing $102 million over the next five years, shattering the record for largest contract ever signed by a reliever. Díaz can opt out after the 2025 season is he’s still at the peak of his powers.
- Excluding Díaz, the initial MLB free agent pool is comprised of 130 players. There are departures from every team except for the Marlins and Diamondbacks.
