White Sox land Domínguez on two-year bullpen upgrade

The Chicago White Sox agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract with reliever Seranthony Domínguez to bolster a rebuilt bullpen. A former setup man who has rebuilt after Tommy John surgery and added a splitter/curve last season, Domínguez could contribute in late innings and possibly close. The signing comes as Chicago reshapes its roster (including trading Luis Robert Jr. to the Mets to free payroll) and will require a corresponding 40-man roster move to finalize.

Twins Re-sign Taylor Rogers to Bolster bullpen on a one-year deal

The Minnesota Twins brought back left-hander Taylor Rogers on a one-year, $2 million contract to shore up a bullpen that was decimated by last year’s trades. Rogers, a former Twin and 2021 All-Star closer, posted a 3.38 ERA with a 24% strikeout rate across 50 2/3 innings in 2025 but showed command issues and a decline in velocity. The move reintroduces a veteran arm to a bullpen with uncertainty and could pave the way for adding another reliever as the Twins rebuild their relief corps.
