Report: Twins Open Door To Major Starting Pitcher Trade
The Minnesota Twins have more starting pitching than they know what to do with, and according to the Star Tribune's Bobby Nightengale , that's finally going to force some movement this winter. Nightengale reports the Twins are open to trading from their rotation depth, with four veterans worth watching: Joe Ryan, Pablo Lopez, Dean Kremer, and Bailey Ober. All four can reach free agency after the 2027 season, and that shared timeline is why Nightengale believes Minnesota is more likely than n...

12-Year Veteran & 2x All-Star Abruptly Retires At 39
Kirby Yates picked an unforgettable way to walk away from baseball. The Pittsburgh Pirates reliever announced his retirement Saturday, immediately after making the first start of his entire 12-year career. "I don't have anything left. Let's put it that way," Yates said after the game. "I've been running on fumes for a while, and I think it's just time, and it's felt like it's been time for a little while now."

Potential Retirees Max Scherzer & George Springer Get Huge Send-Offs In Toronto

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Apologizes to Blue Jays Fans For Controversial Comments
The firestorm that he created with his outrageous comments earlier this week was just too much to bear. Now, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has faced the media—and the fans—to apologize for saying that his 14-year, $500M contract was rewarding him for what he's already done, not what he's going to do in the future. The outrage from fans and followers of baseball everywhere (and likely within the offices of the Rogers Centre) made it obvious that this needed to be addressed. Vladimir Guerrero Jr m...
Max Scherzer Teases Major Announcement About His Future
Max Scherzer isn't ready to say whether Wednesday was one of his final career starts, but he's made clear an answer is coming soon.

Asked about his future afterward, Scherzer kept the door open without committing either way. "I'll probably say something here in the next couple days," he said. A Mi...
Ex-GM Blasts Guerrero Jr. For Outrageous Contract Comments
So what does an actual ex-major league baseball general manager feel about a player saying he was given a gargantuan long-term contract based on "past performance" only? Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s shocking comments in a Spanish-language interview that came out on Wednesday have the whole baseball world shaking its collective head. The Toronto Blue Jays' $500 Million Dollar Man said that he was given his 14-year extension "for what I already accomplished", not for what he was going to do over the ...
Phillies Could Make Stunning Manager Change After 78-51 Turnaround
Don Mattingly has done everything the Philadelphia Phillies could have asked of him since taking over as interim manager. According to new reporting, that might not be enough to keep his job. FanSided's Robert Murray reported that the industry increasingly believes Alex Cora will end up managing the Phillies in 2027. "The industry believes it's a matter of time before it happens," Murray wrote, while noting the situation could still shift, particularly if Mattingly leads Philadelph...
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Brushes Off Abysmal Season With Wild Claims
The Toronto Blue Jays were officially eliminated from playoff contention on Wednesday afternoon. Their extremely disappointing season can, more or less, be summed up in two words (well, two and a half): Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The $500 Million Dollar Man massively underperformed in the first year of that 14-year extension, with only nine home runs and a .695 OPS. But while he's disappointed and frustrated with his season, he gave a stunning comment to a Spanish-language outlet about his co...

"If they want to talk, I...
Red Sox Expected To Make Huge Offer To Randy Arozarena This Winter
The Boston Red Sox have already gotten an up-close look at what Randy Arozarena can do to their pitching staff this season. According to one insider, that might be exactly why they're about to try to sign him.

Sonny Gray Could Land Massive Amount On Next Contract
We heard a shocking rumor earlier this month that Boston Red Sox ace Sonny Gray might actually retire after this, the best season of his career. But before the 36-year-old makes that call, he should consider this: If Sonny Gray doesn’t retire, some in the industry expect him to match or exceed the 3-year, $75 million deal the Rangers gave to Nathan Eovaldi after the 2024 season, per @ChrisCotillo . pic.twitter.com/alwihXe4Xa — Tyler Milliken (@tylermilliken_) September 17, 2026 Red Sox insider...
Aaron Judge's Postseason Availability Suddenly In Doubt
Aaron Judge finally got back on the field after missing three months. Less than two weeks later, he's already back on the injured list, and this time the timing could not be worse. A Setback Just Days After His Return The Yankees placed Judge on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain, a move made official Saturday but backdated to Thursday. It comes just 11 days after he returned from a stress fracture in his right rib that had sidelined him for roughly three months. Ju...
Free Agent Afterthought Now Set For Huge Payday This Offseason
As midseason rolled around, it looked like a top-of-the-rotation arm had cost himself many tens of millions of dollars on the free agent market this winter. Coming into the year, bracing for his first season with the New York Mets and going into a contract year, Freddy Peralta was refusing any advances by the Mets to sign an extension. The 30-year-old right-hander was reportedly seeking a 7-to-8-year commitment, and Mets GM David Stearns wasn't interested. Then Peralta went out and fell flat o...
Dodgers Expected To Trade Teoscar Hernandez This Offseason
Teoscar Hernandez has been part of two Dodgers championship runs. That history alone might not be enough to keep him in Los Angeles past this coming offseason. Ragazzo Names Him A Likely Trade Piece FanSided's Pat Ragazzo listed Hernandez among his likely offseason trade candidates, pointing to a mix of contract timing and organizational depth that makes this offseason different from past speculation around him. "Los Angeles Dodgers left fielder Teoscar Hernandez's name came up i...
One MLB Manager Nearly Guaranteed To Be Fired
It hasn't been the type of season that Seattle Mariners fans were hoping for. After falling one excruciating game short of getting to the World Series last fall, the team has massively disappointed this year, sitting at 72-82, and out of the postseason. That, according to Adam Jude in the Seattle Times , will likely cost manager Dan Wilson his job. There is real uncertainty about the state of the organization — about the coaching staff, the front office, the roster and the payroll budget...
Padres Could Make Surprising Move With Manny Machado
Manny Machado has been the heart of the Padres for nearly a decade. For the first time in a long time, there's a conversation starting about whether that's still true a year from now.

Guardians Could Trade Steven Kwan This Offseason
Cleveland has talked about trading Steven Kwan before and never pulled the trigger. This offseason might be different, and the calendar is the reason why. Feinsand Says This Could Be The Year MLB.com's Mark Feinsand named Kwan among 11 notable offseason trade candidates in a piece published September 10, and the reasoning is entirely because of timing. "The two-time All-Star has been dangled as a trade candidate in the past, and with only one year remaining until free agency and ...
Insiders Project Bo Bichette's Future: Will He Opt Out?
Will he or won't he? Bo Bichette was signed to an insane $42 million AAV three-year contract by the NY Mets last offseason. But after a mediocre year for the former star infielder, i t's genuinely a "coin flip" whether he exercises an opt-out, according to Jeff Passan. Bichette still has two remaining years at $42 million per season. It is a “genuine coin flip” if Bo Bichette will opt out of his deal with the Mets, per @JeffPassan “The Mets owe Bichette $84 million over the next two yea...
