Free-agent right-handed reliever Pete Fairbanks and the Miami Marlins agreed on a one-year, $13 million contract on Wednesday, sources told Jeff Passan of ESPN. Fairbanks landed on the open market this offseason after the Tampa Bay Rays turned down an $11 million option for the 32-year-old closer. His deal with Miami also includes a $1 million signing bonus and another $1 million in appearance-based incentives in 2026. Fairbanks should immediately become the Marlins' primary closing option for next season after they went with a committee approach to close out games for most of 2025. In 60 1/3 frames in Tampa last year, Fairbanks was solid, with a 2.83 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 59 strikeouts, 18 walks, and a career-high 27 saves in 32 chances. Health has been an issue for Fairbanks in his career, though, and Miami isn't exactly the greatest landing spot for save opportunities.

The Chicago Cubs have agreed to a one-year deal with free-agent right-hander Jacob Webb that includes a club option for the 2027 season, according to Patrick Mooney of The Athletic. Per Will Sammon, Webb will earn $1.5 million in 2026, with a $2.5 million club option for 2027. Incentives could increase those totals to $2 million in 2026 and $3 million in 2027. The 32-year-old reliever comes off a season with the Texas Rangers where he posted a 3.00 ERA (3.09 xERA), a 14.6% K-BB rate, and a 1.03 WHIP across 66 innings. Overall, Webb's arsenal generates more weak contact than strikeouts. With the Cubs, he is expected to serve as a middle reliever and currently has no fantasy relevance for 2026.

The Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Levi Stoudt have agreed to a minor-league deal, reports Ari Alexander of 7News Boston WHDH. Stoudt was a third-round pick in 2019 by the Seattle Mariners. Shortly after being drafted, the 28-year-old underwent Tommy John surgery and missed the shortened 2020 season. Since then, he has spent nearly his entire career in the minors, pitching to a 5.06 ERA with 341 strikeouts, 177 walks, and a 1.42 WHIP across 389 1/3 innings. His only brief stint in the majors came in 2023 with the Cincinnati Reds, where he posted a 9.58 ERA (5.23 xERA) with nine strikeouts in 10 innings. Stoudt may never see the majors again, so he can safely be left off your fantasy radar.

The Chicago White Sox and free-agent left-hander Sean Newcomb have agreed to a one-year deal worth $4.5 million, according to Will Sammon of The Athletic. Sammon also reported that Newcomb "will at least get the chance to start" for Chicago. Newcomb was a first-round pick by the Angels in 2012 and had his best season with the Braves in 2018. That year, the 32-year-old southpaw posted a 3.90 ERA (3.69 xERA) with 160 strikeouts across 164 innings. Unfortunately, he struggled in 2019, eventually getting demoted to Triple-A and moving into the bullpen when he returned. Since then, he's been going back and forth between starting and relieving without much luck, until last year. In 2025, Newcomb struck out 91 batters in 92 1/3 innings while posting a career-low 2.73 ERA with the Red Sox and Athletics. For 2026, he will join a White Sox rotation that includes Shane Smith, Davis Martin, Sean Burke, and Anthony Kay. Right now, Newcomb can be safely left off your fantasy radar, but he's worth keeping an eye on since he's a lefty who once showed some potential.
