Framber Valdez has signed, the Tarik Skubal arbitration decision is complete, and pitchers and catchers officially report to Spring Training within days. A relative rush of remaining starting pitcher signings is going to happen in this middle period.
For example, swing-man Nick Martinez is off the board, head to the Tampa Bay Rays:
Nick Martinez to TB Rays, sources tell @Joelsherman1 and me. Pending physical.
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) February 9, 2026Martinez, 35, is coming off a down year in Cincinnati, but he was quite good before that with the Reds, and then for several years with the Padres after coming back to the States from Japan. He might be more like an average overall pitcher at this point in his career, but a guy who can be average across 10 starts and 30 relief appearances in a single season (play with the numbers however you want, those are just examples) is quite valuable. We know that from Colin Rea.
And another one at the same time, with Erick Fedde going back to the White Sox:
Source: The White Sox and Erick Fedde are in agreement on a 1-year deal, pending physical
— Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1) February 9, 2026Fedde, 33 later this month, came back from Korea and succeeded initially with the White Sox and then Cardinals, before struggling pretty badly in 2025 (results and peripherals). Not sure what he can be in 2026, but the pressure will be low with the White Sox, and maybe there’s just a good fit there.
