Milton Williams received the biggest contract in the organization's history when he signed the 4-year, $104 million deal in free agency, which was met with mixed reviews.

Among the rental players, Castro fits the broadest number of teams, given his versatility. The 28-year-old switch-hitter is enjoying a nice season at the plate, hitting .258/.350/.435 with 10 homers, 14 doubles, two triples, eight steals (ten attempts) and a career-best 10% walk rate.

"Adding a steady arm like Keller, who's in his prime and affordably signed for three additional seasons, has to hold appeal for the Blue Jays - particularly given the number of pitching injuries they've seen among their prospect class and other young arms in recent years."

The Commanders' defensive front received the most attention in free agency, releasing starters Jonathan Allen and Dante Fowler while adding DT Javon Kinlaw, NT Eddie Goldman, and Edge Defenders Von Miller and Jacob Martin.

Chavez, 41, has experienced multiple roster changes this year, being signed to minor league deals, selected and then designated for assignment by Atlanta.

David Robertson, a veteran closer, signed a one-year deal with the Phillies worth a prorated $16MM, enhancing their bullpen amid a weaker roster situation.

I wanted to stay preferably in the Eastern Conference to be close to my family, who lives in Washington. That certainly was also something that played a factor for me personally.

LeMahieu's contract guarantees him a $15 million salary in 2025 and 2026, indicating that he will likely be released and become a free agent soon.

"I don't want to speak in absolute terms until an ultimate decision is made. But another guy that if he were to go and play somewhere else - I think [he's] an all-time Celtic and winner and did everything he could for this organization."
