Dominic Freeberger has signed a minor league deal with the St. Louis Cardinals. (Source: MiLB Central on X)
Fantasy Impact: A decent third baseman with a solid .315 average in his collegiate career, Freeberger has turned his attention to the mound and pitched parts of two minor league seasons in the Orioles' system. It has not gone according to plan, yet, as he has a 6.42 ERA in 47.2 innings, while not getting above High-A Aberdeen. While he does have 56 strikeouts, he has walked 36 batters. Freeberger is likely ticketed for a low-level club to continue working on his command.

Jack Winkler has agreed to a minor league deal with the Houston Astros. The deal presumably includes an invitation to big league camp. (Source: MiLB Central on X)
Fantasy Impact: Winkler made his big league debut with the Marlins last season and went 4-for-16 with a pair of doubles and a stolen base in 14 games. The utility infielder is a career .234 hitter across five seasons in the minors. He hits an occasional home run, but he is much more known for his decent speed as he is 83-for-97 in his stolen base attempts. He was a perfect 25-for-25 last season with Triple-A Jacksonville. Winkler will likely head to Triple-A Sugar Land, but could eventually make his way back to the majors at some point in 2026.
