The Tigers’ holiday shopping for pitching continued Friday with a last-minute deal. The team signed veteran right-hander Shelby Miller to a one-year, $3 million contract with a $4.25 million club option for 2025.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to a 12-year, $325 million deal. As part of the deal, the Dodgers will pay the Orix Buffaloes a $50.6 million posting fee.

Yamamoto, who has a pair of opt-outs in the contract, will receive a $50 million signing bonus. The deal contains no deferred money.

The New York Mets offered a similar contract to Yamamoto as the Dodgers, while the New York Yankees offered $300 million despite being the prohibitive favorite. 

The Philadelphia Phillies, San Francisco Giants, Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays were in the bidding.

The Dodgers previously signed Shohei Ohtani this offseason.

Veteran pitching tops the A’s wish list this offseason, and they took a step towards addressing that need on Tuesday by signing right-handed reliever Trevor Gott to a one-year deal.

The contract is worth $1.5 million, with a chance for Gott to earn up to $100,000 in bonuses based on number of appearances this season and another $100,000 if he is traded, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.

Right-handed starter Tyler Glasnow has signed a five-year, $136.5 million contract extension with the Los Angeles Dodgers that makes official the trade of Glasnow and outfielder Manuel Margot from the Tampa Bay Rays to Los Angeles, the Dodgers announced Saturday.

The deal, which sends right-handed starter Ryan Pepiot and outfield prospect Jonny Deluca to the Rays, was contingent on Glasnow signing an extension. The window to do so opened Thursday morning, and the parties quickly came together with the framework of a deal that will tack four years and $111.5 million in new money onto the $25 million Glasnow was owed for the 2024 season.

Injured free agent pitcher Tyler Mahle signed a two-year deal with the Texas Rangers, the team announced Thursday afternoon.

The deal is for $22 million, sources told ESPN. Mahle can earn another $5 million in performance bonuses based on innings pitched in 2025, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Shohei Ohtani's historic contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers will see him defer $68 million of his annual $70 million salary, sources familiar with the deal said Monday, significantly lowering his new team's payroll and potential tax burden.

The Dodgers announced Monday they had signed the two-time MVP, after Ohtani had agreed Saturday to a 10-year, $700 million contract, by far the richest in the history of North American professional sports. A source said then that the majority of the contract would come in deferred money; under this structure, however, Ohtani is deferring more than 97% of his earnings. The deferred money -- totaling $680 million -- will be paid to Ohtani between 2034 and 2043, a source said.

Shohei Ohtani has announced on Instagram he will sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers on a 10-year, $700 million deal. Ohtani's contract will include most of his salary being conveyed in deferrals, which was an idea from his camp to reduce the cost of the competitive balance tax hit.

Ohtani also considered the Toronto Blue Jays, San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Angels among others. Ohtani's free agency process was shrouded in mystery as he and his representatives had asked teams to keep all information confidential. 

Ohtani is recovering from Tommy John surgery and will only hit during the 2024 season. Ohtani expects to return to pitching in the future.

Ohtani has never reached the playoffs in his career, while the Dodgers have become one of the most reliable competitive teams in the MLB.

Japanese first baseman and outfielder Yoshitomo Tsutsugo has agreed to a minor league contract with the San Francisco Giants that includes an invitation to spring training.

Tsutsugo played in the club's farm system this year and re-signed as a free agent. The 32-year-old last appeared in the majors for Pittsburgh in 2022, batting .171 with two homers and 19 RBI in 50 games. He hit .260 with 10 home runs with 44 RBI over 68 games this season between the Texas Rangers' Triple-A Round Rock affiliate and San Francisco's Double-A Richmond and Triple-A Sacramento teams.

Also on Friday, right-hander Daulton Jefferies signed a minor league deal with San Francisco. The former Oakland pitcher will remain in the Bay Area as he recovers from a second Tommy John surgery performed on Sept. 9, 2022.

Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi confirmed both moves.

Tigers manager AJ Hinch signed a contract extension that will keep him in Detroit for "a very long time," president of baseball operations Scott Harris announced Monday at baseball's winter meetings.

Terms were not disclosed. The deal came together at a dinner that included Hinch, Harris and general manager Jeff Greenberg a week after the team's season concluded on Oct. 2.

The New York Mets announced the hiring of former Toronto Blue Jays manager John Gibbons on Monday as bench coach under new manager Carlos Mendoza.

The Mets also hired Antoan Richardson as first-base coach, Mike Sarbaugh as third-base coach and José Rosado as bullpen coach.
