Beeks can earn $1 million in performance bonuses for games pitched: $75,000 each for 10 and 15, $100,000 for 20, and $125,000 apiece for 25, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 65.<\/p>\n

Beeks owns a 28-18 record, 4.31 ERA and 16 saves in 263 career appearances with the Boston Red Sox<\/a> (2018), Tampa Bay Rays<\/a> (2019-20, 2022-23), Colorado Rockies<\/a> (2024), Pittsburgh Pirates<\/a> (2024) and Arizona (2025).<\/p>\n

D\u00edaz, 29, was 1-0 with an 8.15 ERA in 18 combined appearances with the Cincinnati Reds<\/a>, Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> and Atlanta Braves<\/a> last season. He made an All-Star team with Cincinnati in 2023.<\/p>\n
