Sean Murphy, Joe Jiménez, Nick Anderson, Jesse Chavez, Sam Hilliard, Jordan Luplow, and so on. We know what moves the Atlanta Braves have made so far this offseason, but what about the other teams from the NL East?
Here is a look at each of the biggest moves from the Marlins, Mets, Phillies, and Nationals up to this point in the offseason. (NOTE: A majority of minor league deals are not included – Moves as of Wednesday, December 21)
Which moves have Atlanta Braves’ NL East rivals made during the 2022-23 MLB Offseason?
Miami Marlins
Notable Additions:
- RHP JT Chargois
- RHP Nic Enright
Coming off a season in which they finished fourth in the NL East with a 69-93 overall record, the Marlins haven’t done much so far this offseason aside from adding two bullpen arms in JT Chargois and Nic Enright. Chargois held a 2.42 ERA across 22.1 IP in Tampa Bay’s bullpen a year ago, while Enright is likely to make his MLB debut in 2023.
New York Mets
Notable Additions:
- RHP Justin Verlander
- SS Carlos Correa
- RHP Edwin Diaz
- OF Brandon Nimmo
- RHP Adam Ottavino
- RHP Koudai Senga
- RHP David Robertson
- LHP Jose Quintana
After finishing second in the NL East behind the Atlanta Braves with a 101-61 overall record, the Mets have easily been the NL East’s most active team this offseason, with New York having signed multiple names at key spots. Headlining that group is the 2022 AL Cy Young award winner Justin Verlander, as well as one of baseball’s premier shortstops in Carlos Correa.
The Mets also brought back three prominent names in Edwin Diaz, Brandon Nimmo, and Adam Ottavino, while also signing right-hander Koudai Senga, who held a career 2.42 ERA across 275 games in Japan. New York also added veteran David Robertson to the bullpen, as well as left-hander Jose Quintana to the rotation, both of which are coming off strong years.
Philadelphia Phillies
Notable Additions:
- SS Trea Turner
- RHP Taijuan Walker
- LHP Matt Strahm
- OF Jake Cave
The Phillies, who despite finishing third in the NL East at 87-75, went on a postseason run to the World Series a year ago, and have added a significant piece since in Trea Turner, who is one of the game’s premier shortstops. The Phillies have also added a two arms in Taijuan Walker and Matt Strahm, as well as an outfield piece in Jake Cave.
Washington Nationals
Notable Additions:
- 3B Jeimer Candelario
- RHP Trevor Williams
- RHP Erasmo Ramirez
- OF Stone Garrett
The Nationals, who finished last in the NL East at 55-107, have made a few notable additions this offseason, headlined by former Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario. Both Trevor Williams and Erasmo Ramirez should add pitching depth for Washington coming off solid seasons, while Stone Garrett is an outfielder who made his MLB debut in 2022.
