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...

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 ...

Report: Astros Could Make Another Kyle Tucker-Type Blockbuster
The Houston Astros ' season ended Wednesday in a sweep, and the question hanging over the franchise now is whether Jeremy Pena becomes the next Kyle Tucker. Houston fell 7-3 to the Chicago White Sox in Game 2 of the AL Wild Card Series, getting swept out of the playoffs at Daikin Park. The Houston Chronicle raised the comparison in its postmortem on the season. Pena is entering his final season of club control, the same spot Tucker was in before Houston traded him to the Cubs two w...
Sonny Gray Controversy Emerges After Red Sox Eliminated
So why was Sonny Gray pulled from the game in the 5th inning by Boston Red Sox manager Chad Tracy last night? He had been one of the best pitchers in baseball all season, and was pitching pretty well, holding the Yankees to just one run to that point, though there were two runners on base. Gray himself was furious afterwards at being pulled, saying, “I think I’m the best pitcher in the American League going through the order a third time. I think that’s a fact,” Gray said. “I would have ...
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...

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...
