Friday’s tender/non-tender deadline proved to be the busiest day to date of the MLB offseason.

In shades of the trade deadline, there were a combined seven trades across the league on Friday plus one more late Thursday night. Additionally, a handful of notable names are now free agents after they were non-tendered by their clubs.

Let’s recap it all.

All The Trades

Minutes to Midnight (shoutout Linkin Park) on Thursday, the White Sox and Braves got together for a six-player swap. The Braves acquired relief pitcher Aaron Bummer from Chicago for pitchers Michael Soroka and Jared Shuster, infielders Nicky Lopez and Braden Shewmake and prospect Riley Gowens.
Friday’s frenzy began with the Rockies acquiring right-hander Cal Quantrill from the Guardians for catching prospect Kody Huff.
Cleveland stayed active, swapping relief pitcher Enyel De Los Santos to the Padres for fellow bullpen arm Scott Barlow.
The Royals acquired veteran reliever Nick Anderson from the Braves for cash considerations. The two teams got together again a few hours later, with Kansas City acquiring RHP Kyle Wright for RHP Jackson Kowar.
The Brewers acquired first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers from the Yankees for a pair of minor league outfielders.
In a Florida swap, the Marlins acquired reliever Calvin Faucher and infielder Vidal Bruján from the Rays for two prospects and a player to be named later or cash.
And finally, the Mariners traded relief pitcher Isaiah Campbell to the Red Sox for Luis Urías.

New Free Agents

Some of the notable names now on the free agent market this MLB offseason include: RHP Brandon Woodruff, DH/OF Austin Meadows, RHP Dakota Hudson, OF Kyle Lewis, RHP Spencer Turnbull, 1B Rowdy Tellez, 1B Dominic Smith, DH Daniel Vogelbach, C Austin Nola, C Jacob Stallings and others.
