Phillies Put $300 Million Superstar On Notice After Disastrous Season
Philadelphia Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski put Trea Turner on notice Thursday, saying the 33-year-old has to play a better shortstop in 2027 or the team will move him to another position. Turner will open next season at shortstop, Dombrowski said, but he made clear the leash is short, saying, “I told him he cannot play shortstop like he did in 2026 going into 2027.” Dombrowski met with Turner for about two hours Tuesday at Citizens Bank Park after asking him to fl...
3 Cleveland Guardians Who Won't Return in 2027
The Cleveland Guardians had a nice late-season run, stealing the AL Central Division from the season-long leaders, the Chicago White Sox. They then went on to knock off the ChiSox again, this time in the American League Division Series. But the Cinderella run ended in the ALCS, as they fell in six games to the Tampa Bay Rays. Now come the preparations for 2027. There will be changes in Cleveland, and let's have a look at three Guardians who most likely will not be back next season. Rhys ...
4 MLB Powerhouses Linked To Japanese Triple Crown Winner
Hanshin Tigers third baseman Teruaki Sato is headed to MLB, with the Tigers approving his posting request Monday and clearing the way for all 30 teams to negotiate with him once he’s formally posted. MLB Network’s Jon Heyman reported in August that the Yankees, Mets, Dodgers, and Phillies have all been linked to the 27-year-old. A Triple Crown Season In Japan Sato hit .306/.383/.609 with 39 home runs and 106 RBIs in 143 games this season, leading the Central League in all three Triple Crow...

The New York Yankees have decided that Aaron Boone will indeed be back for his 10th season as manager. BREAKING: Aaron Boone is returning as the New York Yankees' manager in 2027, per MLB executive sources. Next season is the final guaranteed year of his current contract. (via @pcaldera of USA Today) https://t.co/bwDnDojZds — ESPN New York (@ESPNNewYork) October 19, 2026 But the one big caveat is that there is no extension. 2027 will be the final year of Boone's contract. In other words, he...
5 Suitors Named For Alec Bohm in Free Agency
Alec Bohm had been a trade candidate for the Philadelphia Phillies in each of the last two years. Now, he's a free agent and able to decide on his own future. The big question is: will the Phillies try to re-sign him? Batting .249 with 15 home runs, 88 RBIs, and a .698 OPS, Bohm suffered a downtick in some of his averages this season, but still drove in 88 for the Phils. Plus, he has positional versatility, able to play first or third. According to Mark Feinsand , other than the Ph...
'Sleeper Team' Named In Tarik Skubal Sweepstakes This Offseason
The LA Dodgers are home and cooled, their three-peat chances put to bed. That means the future of Tarik Skubal will become a big subject of conversation around the team, as they consider their options for 2027. The two-time Cy Young Award winner was acquired at the trade deadline from the Detroit Tigers and is now an unrestricted free agent. Skubal went 5-2 with a 2.61 ERA in his time with LA, with a 70:13 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 62 innings. But he will be looking for a contract...
3 LA Dodgers Who Won't Be Back With Former Champs
In a stunning four-game sweep, the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers are heading home, wondering why they couldn't complete the "three-peat." Since championships are the only thing that this franchise is built for, there will undoubtedly be changes as they look to try to regain their crown in 2027. Let's have a look at three Dodgers who will not return next season (if there is one): Miguel Rojas This one we know about, as the 37-year-old veteran infielder and clubho...
Yankees' Stunning Trade Offer Was Turned Down By Rockies
The New York Yankees fell short in their season-long bid to try to land an impact catcher. The biggest name that they pursued was Colorado Rockies slugger Hunter Goodman, a two-time All-Star with 72 home runs over the last two years. And boy, couldn't the Yankees have used him down the stretch with Aaron Judge out of the lineup for the postseason? The Rockies weren't going to give him up cheaply, and the Yankees knew it, offering their top prospect George Lombard Jr. in return in a...
3 San Diego Padres Who Won't Be Back Next Season
The San Diego Padres went all-in at the trade deadline, acquiring some notable starting pitching. Unfortunately, it all backfired on them, as the two big names coming in were brutal in their time in Southern California. That's the main storyline as we have a look at three San Diego Padres who won't be back next season. Casey Mize Mize had a terrific first four months of the season with the Detroit Tigers, posting a 2.72 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP. After coming over at trade deadline h...
3 Chicago White Sox Who Won't Return in 2027
It was an unexpected Cinderella story for the Chicago White Sox this season. After three straight years of 100+ losses, the Pale Hose shocked the baseball world by not only making the playoffs, but also winning a round, securing a Wild Card Series victory over the Houston Astros. But that all came to an end in the second round, as they squandered a 2-0 ALDS series lead to lose in five games to the Cleveland Guardians. While they made huge strides in 2026, there will be changes for next s...
Top 3 Landing Spots For Jazz Chisholm Jr. in Free Agency
Jazz Chisholm Jr., despite 41 stolen bases, did not have the type of contract year that he was hoping for heading into free agency. But he's still got his sights set high, and most are predicting that the Yankees won't meet his sky-high demands. He batted just .231 with a .711 OPS, both the lowest of his career. Many feel that the Yankees will not extend him the $23M qualifying offer, and even if they do, it's even more unlikely he'd accept it. With that, let's take a look at ...
UFA Sonny Gray Wastes No Time Announcing His Intentions for 2027
After a career year, veteran 36-year-old pitcher Sonny Gray was considering retirement. But he sent a text to the Boston Globe's Alex Speier Friday afternoon making his intentions for 2027 clear . My family and I have talked about it and it’s an easy decision. I still want to win a World Series, whether that is Boston or with whoever wants me. Intriguingly, the statement indicates that he'd be willing to continue his career in Beantown, which is contrary to what it sounded like a week ag...
3 NY Yankees Who Won't Be Back Next Season
It was another postseason flop for the New York Yankees. They head home after being dispatched by the Tampa Bay Rays in a sweep in the ALDS—three straight games. Certainly, injuries played a role in the Yankees' failings this season, as Aaron Judge wasn't even available in their two playoff series due to a strained right calf. Without their (and the AL's) MVP, they simply didn't have enough offense, scoring only five runs in the three games. As we can usually expect when they...
Yankees Could Put Former Top Prospect On Trade Block
Anthony Volpe was supposed to be the Yankees ' shortstop for the next decade, and after another uneven season, one new offseason breakdown says he's "definitely a trade candidate." The line comes from Just Baseball's Zach Cioffi in his Yankees arbitration projections. A Thin Year Leaves Volpe's Price Low Cioffi projects Volpe at $3.975 million in arbitration, a $500,000 raise from the $3.475 million he signed for in January, and he expects the Yankees to tender him a contract without a hea...
Report: Phillies Could Make Surprising Move This Offseason
The Philadelphia Phillies stumbled down the stretch of the season, nearly missing out on the playoffs with a final week swoon that saw them lose four straight before getting in on the final day. They then went down quickly, however, in the postseason once again, in three games to the Atlanta Braves. Many pundits around the team felt that without some playoff success, interim manager Don Mattingly would almost certainly not be back in the dugout with the team next season. But a new report...
Blue Jays Could Bring Back Star They Just Traded
The Toronto Blue Jays traded Kevin Gausman at the deadline. They might be getting him back in a few months. The Athletic's Mitch Bannon wrote in his final regular-season column that Gausman will enter free agency after the postseason. "Like Springer and Scherzer, it's unclear if Gausman's playing days are over," Bannon wrote. "If he returns, a reunion with Toronto seems likely." That's a big if. Gausman told Bannon in February that retirement was on his mind in the final year of his cont...
3 Phillies Who Won't Be Back in 2027
The Philadelphia Phillies fell flat in the postseason once again this year, despite a star-studded, expensive, All-Star lineup. So what now? There's a chance that manager Don Mattingly will not be back. But what about the players? A notable MLB insider has already suggested that maybe it's time for the Phillies to move on from a superstar . But Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner all have no-trade clauses. T he chances of any one of them moving are slim and none. Fro...
Yankees Expected To Move On From Jazz Chisholm Jr.
The Yankees have a harder call on Jazz Chisholm Jr. than most people expected. According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post , MLB's qualifying offer is expected to rise to about $23.1 million this offseason. Sherman writes the Yankees "will have to decide if they want to risk paying David Bednar and Jazz Chisholm Jr. $23.1 million next season." A source told the Post the number will climb from $22.03 million last year. MLB and the players' union haven't officially agreed on it yet. T...
3 Chicago Cubs who won't be back in 2027
The Chicago Cubs had a disappointing finish to the 2026 season, going out in two straight in the Wild Card series against the San Diego Padres. There will be changes coming to the Cubbies roster, in some part out of necessity as there are some big free agent decisions coming. Let's have a look at three notable Cubs who will not be back in 2027. Seiya Suzuki The Japanese outfielder has spent his entire five-year major league career with the Chicago Cubs. He's a free agent this offse...
Report: Yankees Rejected Blockbuster Trade For Three-Time All-Star
The Yankees were in on Adley Rutschman before the Orioles sent him to Boston. According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post , the price Baltimore set was steep enough that New York walked away. Heyman reports the Orioles asked for catcher Austin Wells, pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez, outfield prospect Yostin Pena, and either Will Warren or Ryan Weathers. Three of those four have already played in the majors. Pena, who turns 19 this month, was the sticking point. Heyman called his inc...

MLB Insider Urges Phillies To Consider Trading One Of Their Superstars
The Philadelphia Phillies ' season ended with a three-game Wild Card loss to the Braves, and The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal wasted no time suggesting what comes next should include some uncomfortable questions. Writing in the immediate aftermath of the elimination, Rosenthal argued Dave Dombrowski and ownership need to at least consider moving either Bryce Harper or Kyle Schwarber this winter. "The Phillies at least need to kick around the idea of trading one of them," Rosenthal wrote. "Ac...
3 Trade Landing Spots for Phillies' Bryce Harper
It's time for a 'dramatic' move for the Philadelphia Phillies after another postseason flameout. That's the word from insider Ken Rosenthal in The Athletic. He claims the Phils should even consider trading Bryce Harper. The team's playoff runs have gotten shorter and shorter each season over the last six years, and Harper maybe is no longer an 'elite' superstar, as his GM Dave Dombrowski mentioned a year ago. Harper wanted to prove his GM wrong this season, but wound up with extremely si...
Minnesota Twins Could Trade Former No.1 Pick
Royce Lewis was supposed to be the centerpiece of this era of Minnesota Twins baseball. After the season he just had, even that assumption isn't a given anymore. The Star Tribune's Bobby Nightengale reported that GM Jeremy Zoll was asked at Minnesota's end-of-season press conference whether Lewis remains part of the team's core going forward. It's a question that wouldn't have made sense to ask a year ago. A Season That Changed The Conversation Lewis finished 2026 hitting .227 ...
