With Thanksgiving week being celebrated across the United States, it was a relatively quiet week in the MLB offseason from a quantity standpoint. In fact, most of the moves made were Minor League signings, as over 20 players signed MiL contracts for the 2026 campaign. Among the group included Nick Anderson, Scott Blewett, and Tyler Zuber, all of whom appeared in the Majors last year.
First off, here’s a look at the list of players who recently signed Minor League contracts:
Arguably the most notable name is Nick Anderson, the 35-year-old who made 12 outings for the Rockies this past season. Anderson struck out 10 over 14.2 IP at the MLB level. He struck out 48 over 39.1 IP but walked 19 across three Triple-A affiliates.
Jake Woodford struck out 23 over 36.1 IP last season with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He worked exclusively as a reliever after he started seven games between the White Sox and Pirates in 2024.
Former second-rounder Scott Blewett appeared in a season-high 26 games between the Twins, Braves, and Orioles last year. Blewett induced a heavy amount of ground balls. However, he posted a 5.48 ERA.
Tyler Zuber and Brewer Hicklen also saw some time at the MLB level. Hicklen played briefly for the Tigers, while Zuber, a 30-year-old who induced a lot of chases, saw 12 innings of work over 10 appearances between New York (NL) and Miami.
Additionally, several players who were non-tendered last week were re-signed by their once former teams. Michael Arias, Gustavo Campero, Tanner Rainey, and Sem Robberse were re-signed.
