The New York Mets have agreed to a Minor League deal with Ender Inciarte.
Inciarte spent the first part of the season with the New York Yankees' Triple-A affiliate but was released last week.
The outfielder will earn a prorated $1.1 million salary for any time he spends with the Mets.
The Seattle Mariners have agreed to a two-year deal with Jesse Winker, avoiding arbitration.
The contract runs through the 2023 season. He will then become an unrestricted free agent.
Winker's deal is worth $14.5 million -- $6.25 million this season and $8.25 million in 2023, according to multiple reports.
"I don't want to say I was really thinking about it a lot. But I think no matter what you kind of are, somewhere in your mind," he said. "But it's nice to not have to think about any more. I really enjoy it here and this is this is where I want to be. So I'm excited about that."
The Houston Astros have finalized Yordan Alvarez's new six-year, $115 million contract.
"A cornerstone player," general manager James Click said of the outfielder. "It allows us to build the roster around him, build a lineup around him. And that sort of security, both for him and for us as we continue to try to compete for World Series championships is huge, knowing that we're going to have a player of that caliber anchoring our lineup for the foreseeable future."
The contract covers 2023 through 2028. The 24-year-old has a one-year deal for 2022 calling for $764,600 while in the major leagues and $304,500 should he be assigned to the minors.
"There's a lot of hard work that's gone into it and seeing the fruits of the labor really means a lot," Alvarez said in Spanish through an interpreter.
