Monday marks the penultimate day of 2024, with the focus on baseball news and rumors. Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki is drawing interest from 20 MLB teams, with the Dodgers considered favorites to sign him. The Red Sox are looking for a right-handed bat, potentially ruling out Alex Bregman due to Rafael Devers being their third baseman. The Tigers are interested in Bregman and outfielder Anthony Santander to boost their lineup. The Cubs are eyeing free-agent infielder Josh Rojas, while the Nationals have re-signed Trevor Williams to a two-year deal. In 2023, Williams struggled with a 5.55 ERA and -0.1 WAR in 30 starts.

Teams are now prioritizing having at least six starters for depth and flexibility.
