Veteran right-handers Connor Brogdon and Carlos Hernández both elect free agency after short, uneven stints with the Cleveland Guardians. Brogdon, who signed a $900K major‑league deal last winter, posted a 5.06 ERA in 16 MLB appearances and a 6.35 ERA in Triple‑A before being outrighted twice. Hernández, on a minor‑league contract, returned from a serious car‑crash injury to make two September outings, yielding two runs in three innings, then accepted an outright assignment. Both pitchers have struggled in recent years, with career MLB ERAs above 5.00, and are now free to sign elsewhere.
The New York Rangers fall 5-4 to the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena on Oct. 23, surrendering a late lead after Alexis Lafrenière’s third‑period tying goal. A delayed‑penalty misplay by Tye Kartye sets up Troy Stecher’s game‑winner with 27.5 seconds left, marking only the third career game‑winning goal for the stay‑at‑home defenseman. Coach Mike Sullivan blames a lack of structure and collective effort, noting the Rangers allowed a season‑high 36 shots and 14 high‑danger chances while posting a 0‑3‑1 road skid (7‑4‑1 overall). The team must rebound quickly ahead of a road clash with Ottawa Saturday.

Meanwhile 20‑year‑old right‑hander Seth Hernandez confirms he’s fully recovered from a July oblique strain, posting a 2.43 ERA and an impressive 118‑31 K‑BB ratio before the injury.

The Miami Marlins are open to offers for shortstop Otto Lopez and second baseman Xavier Edwards if the price is high enough, according to Barry Jackson. Both players, on arbitration‑eligible contracts through 2029, posted strong 2026 numbers: Lopez hit .305 with 11 homers, 34 steals and elite defense (14 OAA, 12 FRV, 6 DRS), while Edwards posted a .282/.351/.361 line, 21 steals and solid offensive value despite a defensive dip. Lopez’s projected 2027 salary is $5.4 M; Edwards, $3.5 M. Boston showed early interest in Lopez, and the Yankees have long liked Edwards, though roster plans remain unclear. Losing either could hurt Miami’s playoff hopes after an 80‑82 season.

The New York Rangers’ road slide stretches to five games as the Toronto Maple Leafs clinch a 5-4 win with a dramatic 27.5‑second‑left goal by defenseman Troy Stetcher at Scotiabank Arena on Oct. 23, 2026. Alexis Lafrenière tied it 4‑4 late in the third, but a delayed‑penalty situation let the Leafs pull Sergei Bobrovsky for an extra attacker and secure the victory. Toronto’s Brandon Duhaime posted a career‑best three‑point night, while Easton Cowan, Teddy Blueger and Kirill Marchenko also scored. Bobrovsky earned his 459th win, tying Henrik Lundqvist, and the Rangers’ Dylan Garand made 31 saves. New York remains 6‑0‑0 at home but hasn’t won on the road since Oct. 2.
After a disappointing Week 6 loss to the New Orleans Saints, the New York Giants are scrambling to revive a sputtering defense, and rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter offers a bright spot. ESPN ranks the Giants’ pass‑rush win rate fourth in the league, with Carter tied for first among edge players at a 36% win rate. The 2025 third‑overall pick has recorded two sacks, seven QB hits, 14 tackles and nine pressures, leading a unit where no one else has more than two sacks.

Recovery is expected in eight to 12 weeks, leaving him a depth option for the 2027 season.
