The New York Mets have recently had "dialogue" with free-agent designated hitter J.D. Martinez, per New York Post's Mike Puma. The 36-year-old veteran still has plenty of power left to offer, as he slashed .271/.321/.572 with 33 home runs and 103 RBI in 479 plate appearances last season with the Dodgers. While age is now a concern, Martinez has been a consistent fantasy producer throughout his career and is still a viable fantasy option despite his position eligibility. His overall value could fluctuate slightly depending on where he eventually signs.

The Miami Marlins acquired infielder Jonah Bride from the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday evening in exchange for cash considerations. To make room on their 40-man roster, the Marlins designated infielder Jordan Groshans for assignment in a corresponding move. The 28-year-old Bride has two years of major-league experience and has played third, second and first base. He also played 90 innings as a catcher at Double-A Midland in 2022. He hit a strong .305/.432/.544 with a .976 OPS, a career-high 13 home runs, 19 doubles, two triples, 54 RBI, five stolen bases and 60 runs scored in 73 games for Triple-A Las Vegas last year. Bride has just a .528 OPS in 293 big-league plate appearances, though, and he'll give the Fish some infield depth to open spring training in a couple weeks.

Free-agent left-handed-hitting outfielder Bradley Zimmer reached a minor-league deal with the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training, according to a source. The Rockies have been looking for a left-handed hitter who can play all three outfield spots and can spell Brenton Doyle in center field. Zimmer didn't play at all in the big leagues last year, instead spending time at the Triple-A level with both the Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox, hitting a combined .210/.326/.346 with eight home runs, 32 RBI and 20 stolen bases in 82 minor-league contests. The 31-year-old former first-rounder has spent six years in the big leagues with three different teams and has hit just .213 (183-for-859) with 21 homers, 91 RBI and 42 stolen bases in 372 career games. At best, he'll be a reserve outfielder for Colorado in 2024.

Right-handed reliever Phil Bickford won his salary arbitration case against the New York Mets on Tuesday and will now earn $900,000 for the 2024 season. The Mets had offered $815,000. Bickford began the 2023 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers before joining the Mets in the middle of the season. In total, the 28-year-old reliever had a 4.95 ERA (4.46 FIP) with one save, a 1.45 WHIP, 39 walks and a career-high 76 strikeouts in 67 1/3 innings pitched over 61 appearances out of the bullpen. He'll be off the fantasy radar altogether and has posted a 4.43 ERA (4.24 FIP), two saves, a 1.24 WHIP and a 26.6 percent strikeout rate in 179 outings out of the bullpen (180 2/3 innings) over his four major-league seasons.

Right-hander Jacob Webb won his salary arbitration hearing against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday and will earn $1 million in 2024. The 30-year-old will get a $260,000 raise from a season ago after posting a 3.69 ERA (4.48 FIP) with a 1.29 WHIP, one save, 30 walks and 57 strikeouts in 53 2/3 relief innings for the Los Angeles Angels and Orioles last season. The Orioles claimed him off waivers from the Halos last August, and he will once again serve in a middle-relief role for Baltimore in 2024. In Webb's four major-league seasons, he has a solid 2.97 ERA (4.19 FIP), four saves, a 1.29 WHIP and a 23.0 percent strikeout rate in 130 1/3 innings over 132 appearances out of the bullpen. Webb won't be on the fantasy radar at all.
