"Beeks took a minor league deal with the Astros last offseason but opted out late in spring and signed a major league contract with the D-backs. It panned out well. He pitched 57 1/3 innings, logged 14 holds and a save, and fanned 20.3% of his opponents against an 8.7% walk rate - all en route to a 3.77 ERA."
"Coulombe, who just turned 36 yesterday, was terrific in 31 innings with the Twins (1.16 ERA, 25.4 K%, 7.4 BB%) but struggled in 12 innings after being traded to the Rangers (5.25 ERA, 22.2 K%, 16.7 BB%). An IL trip due to shoulder fatigue didn't help his time with the Rangers, and Coulombe also had a three-week IL stint due to a forearm strain with Minnesota in May."
The 2025–26 left-handed reliever class is thin on true high-leverage arms but contains many serviceable, veteran setup options and a handful of potential overseas-to-MLB returnees. Jalen Beeks produced a 3.77 ERA over 57 1/3 innings with 14 holds, a save, a 94.4 mph four-seamer and an above-average swinging-strike rate, making him a likely modest one-year signing. Danny Coulombe excelled with Minnesota (1.16 ERA in 31 innings) but struggled after a trade amid shoulder and forearm IL stints; another affordable one-year deal seems probable. Caleb Ferguson delivered a combined 3.58 ERA after a midseason trade.
