Mets Star's Trade Future Could Be Decided This Winter
Francisco Lindor made it through the 2026 trade deadline in a New York Mets uniform. According to multiple insiders, that's a very different thing from making it through the winter. USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported that rival executives believe Lindor will eventually be traded, just not this summer. "Rival executives believe that Lindor will eventually be traded, but more likely in the offseason than now," Nightengale wrote, explaining that any deal is complicated enough with m...
Diamondbacks Release Veteran Outfielder After Rough 41-Game Stint
Max Kepler's stay in Arizona has officially come to an end. The Arizona Diamondbacks designated the veteran outfielder for assignment last week, and after he went unclaimed by any of the other 29 teams, Arizona released him outright. Debut Delayed Before It Even Started Kepler's brief tenure in the desert was complicated from the start. Arizona signed him to a one-year deal on June 7, but he was still serving the back half of an 80-game suspension for testing positive for a banne...

Orioles Lose Their $5 Million Gamble In Short Order
The Baltimore Orioles took a calculated gamble in claiming oft-injury outfielder Luis Robert Jr. off waivers from the New York Mets. With almost $5 million still remaining on his massive contract, the slugger was having a resurgent month of August. But then... there is always the injury bug waiting around the corner for Robert Jr., isn't there? That's where the gamble comes in. On Sunday, the O's lost that gamble, as they were forced to place Robert Jr. on the injured list with a hamstring inj...
MLB Umpire Facing Discipline After Pulling Outrageous 'Power Move'
It was a wild scene in Colorado on Friday night when umpire Doug Eddings decided to call out Rockies rookie pitcher Hancel Rincon for... wait for it... wearing his hat a bit crooked. It all devolved from there, and by the end of it, St. Louis Cardinals manager Oli Marmol was ejected, the Rockies were granted an undeserved run on a brutal call at the plate, and Eddings is being destroyed all across baseball. Rincon, a 24-year-old from the Dominican, was making his major league debut . In the mi...

Rays Might Be Forced To Trade Ace This Offseason
Drew Rasmussen's excellent season is starting to look like the very thing that gets him traded this winter. Per MLB Trade Rumors , Rasmussen should quickly emerge as one of the offseason's top trade candidates once Tampa Bay's playoff run wraps up. The Rays will have a quick turnaround once other teams start calling on their ace, and the reasonis because of a contract that was built to reward exactly the kind of year Rasmussen is having. Bargain Deal Turning Into Anything But Rasmuss...

Reds Ace Facing Long Recovery Could Still Be Traded This Offseason
Hunter Greene's name was already floating around trade rumors before his season ended in surgery. Now, with a lengthy recovery ahead of him, the Cincinnati Reds face a decision about whether to try moving him anyway this winter.

He finished 202...

Video: Ketel Marte Has Absolutely SHOCKING Message for Diamondbacks Fans
After slapping his teammates in the face, metaphorically speaking, by going AWOL on them last week in the middle of a playoff chase, Ketel Marte has now left Arizona Diamondbacks fans wondering what he thinks of them.

Angels Star's Trade Market Heating Up Ahead Of Offseason
The Los Angeles Angels held onto Zach Neto at the trade deadline, but that decision looks more like a delay as the offseason approaches.

Marlins Pitcher Will Be Prime Trade Candidate This Winter
The Miami Marlins remain within striking distance of a Wild Card in the National League, and that's due in large part to the return to prominence of former Cy Young winner Sandy Alcantara. At 13-8, with a 3.46 ERA, and a 2.29 ERA in the second half over his last nine crucial starts, it's clear why the Marlins continually fended off any trade offers for their veteran ace. Alcantara, the 2022 Cy Young Award winner, missed the 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery, and struggled in his return las...
