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...
Yankees Surprisingly DFA Fan-Favorite Utilityman
The New York Yankees needed a roster spot, and they took it from a player who's been with the organization since he was a teenager. Schmidt's Return Forced The Move New York designated Oswaldo Cabrera for assignment to clear a 40-man spot for Clarke Schmidt, who was officially activated from the 60-day injured list after completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery. It had been 14 and a half months since Schmidt last pitched in a Major League game, and he wasted no time getting back...
Tommy Pham Demands To Be Activated By White Sox; Then Hits Go-Ahead Homer
There's really only one Tommy Pham. You'd have a hard time finding any other player in baseball that has been as bold and confident in his abilities as this guy. All he did in the last 24 hours was bump into his GM Chris Getz in an elevator Tuesday night and insist to him that he be activated off the injured list by the White Sox ASAP. Perhaps fearing what Pham might do to him otherwise, Getz activated the journeyman outfielder for today's game, and he was inserted into the clean up spot...
Former 27-HR Slugger Emerging As Mets Offseason Trade Candidate
It wasn't that long ago that Mark Vientos looked like a building block for the New York Mets . Now MLB.com is naming him as one of the more realistic trade chips in baseball heading into the offseason. From 27-Homer Breakout To Trade Bait Mark Feinsand included Vientos among his list of intriguing offseason trade candidates. Vientos broke out in 2024 with 27 home runs, 71 RBIs and an .837 OPS in just 111 games, numbers that made him a key piece of New York's run to the NLCS and had fan...
White Sox DFA Former World Series Winner
It's been a steep fall off a cliff since getting a World Series ring in 2022 for former top starter Jose Urquidy. The Chicago White Sox have designated Urquidy for assignment, his second DFA of 2026. Noah Schultz is back up, and the White Sox DFA’d Jose Urquidy in response — James Fegan (@JRFegan) September 15, 2026 Urquidy started the year with the Pittsburgh Pirates after missing almost the entire previous two seasons after Tommy John surgery. He was signed to a one-year, $1.5 mi...
Red Sox Could Finally Trade Former All-Star This Winter
Boston has flirted with trading Jarren Duran for two offseasons running and backed off both times. This winter might be different. Poster Child For Change Of Scenery MLB.com's Mark Feinsand named Duran on his list of offseason trade candidates. Feinsand called him the "poster child" for change-of-scenery players around the league, pointing to a crowded Boston outfield as the real issue. With Roman Anthony, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu all healthy and productive, there simply...
Diamondbacks Claim Former Blue Jays Outfielder, One Day After DFA
Just 24 hours after being designated for assignment by the Toronto Blue Jays, Jesus Sanchez has found a new home, being claimed off waivers by the Arizona Diamondbacks. BREAKING: The D-backs have claimed Jeśus Sanchez off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays. Sanchez slashed .260/.318/.416 with 8 HR and 35 this season for Toronto. pic.twitter.com/g2R77JjQix — PHNX Diamondbacks (@PHNX_Dbacks) September 14, 2026 The move comes after the D-Backs DFA'd Lourdes Gurriel Jr. on the weekend. &...
Diamondbacks Could Make Massive Move With Gabriel Moreno
When the Toronto Blue Jays traded their No. 1 prospect, Gabriel Moreno, along with Lourdes Gurriel Jr. to the Arizona Diamondbacks for Daulton Varsho, it looked like a lopsided trade in favor of the D-Backs. Now, late in the 2026 season, with Varsho gone from the Jays after posting a .226 average and 94 OPS+ with them for four years, the deal is looking even more like a massive win for Arizona. Moreno was thought to be untouchable before that trade, and now he is living up to all of thos...
Cubs Make Major Move To Pitching Staff
The Chicago Cubs have had a rollercoaster of a year with their pitching staff. Injuries have devastated the rotation and changed plans in the bullpen as well. Now, just as they're getting Edward Cabrera back from the injured list after missing most of the last three months, they're making another major move. The Cubs are planning to use the career-long starter out of the bullpen down the stretch. Craig Counsell said Edward Cabrera is active and Trent Thornton is headed to the IL wi...
Mariners Could Finally Trade From Loaded Rotation This Winter
The Seattle Mariners have spent years being asked about trading from their rotation and saying no. This winter, that could finally change, and Logan Gilbert is the name drawing the most attention. Gilbert's Contract Situation Is The Hook MLB.com has identified Gilbert as one of the more intriguing trade candidates around the league this offseason, and the reasoning is because of his contract. Gilbert is entering the final year before free agency, and there's no real sign of an ex...
Blue Jays Pull Surprise Move With DFA of Veteran Slugger, Call Up Career Minor Leaguer
The Toronto Blue Jays finally said, 'enough is enough.' It had gotten to the point where the defense was so bad, he was just unplayable from here on out. So with that, outfielder Jesus Sanchez has been designated for assignment. News: The #BlueJays have DFA’d Jesús Sánchez OF Rudy Martin Jr. joins the club to take his spot. — Keegan Matheson (@KeeganMatheson) September 11, 2026 Sanchez was brought in to add some power to a lineup that truly needs some (especially with the complete power ...
Braves Nearly Made Blockbuster Spencer Strider Trade
Spencer Strider's standing with the Atlanta Braves isn't what it used to be. The organization's willingness to move him at this year's trade deadline made that clear. Per multiple reports, Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos asked the Texas Rangers about right-hander Jacob deGrom multiple times in the weeks leading up to the deadline, in a deal that would have essentially been a swap of two large contracts, with Strider going the other way. The Rangers never sh...
Pending Free Agent Sonny Gray Considering Shocking Move
36-year-old Sonny Gray is having a spectacular season for the Boston Red Sox, arguably the best of his illustrious career. He has a major-league-leading 17 wins (17-4 record), a career-best 2.69 ERA and a 135-to-40 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 150 2/3 innings pitched. Is it possible he'll call it quits after this season? Gray has a $30 million mutual option for next season, but he hasn't decided if he'll continue to pitch after this year. Sonny Gray says he has not dec...
Dodgers Tried To Trade For Two Yankees Catchers
The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees rarely make trades with each other. This summer, they reportedly tried, and it fell apart. Per FanSided's Pat Ragazzo, the Dodgers called the Yankees about catchers J.C. Escarra and Ali Sanchez ahead of the August 3 trade deadline. Both are known more for their defensive ability than their bats, which had struggled at the major league level this season, but New York wasn't willing to move either one. New York Said No Ragazzo reported...
Yankees get another tough injury break with Jazz Chisholm going down
Just when Aaron Judge had finally returned to the lineup after a three-month absence, the New York Yankees will now have to do without another key hitter in their lineup. Jazz Chisholm Jr. suffered a sprained thumb in Tuesday night's game and will be going on the injured list. Jazz Chisholm Jr. has been diagnosed with a sprained right thumb. He will be placed on the 10-day injured list. No baseball activities for 7-10 days. — Bryan Hoch ⚾️ (@BryanHoch) September 9, 2026 In an odd twist, that I...
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...
KC Royals Release Former Silver Slugger, Becomes Free Agent
He posted back-to-back 25+ home run and 80+ RBI seasons with an.800+ OPS recently. But this is now the third straight year that Brandon Drury has not been able to break a big league roster. And now the Kansas City Royals have cut ties, releasing the 10-year veteran. Brandon Drury is back on the market. • The Royals released the 34-year-old infielder from Triple-A Omaha, making him a free agent. • His overall numbers this season were modest at .226/.354/.362, but he had been better lately...

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...
Tampa Bay Rays Take Tough Hit On Injury Front
Not great timing for the Tampa Bay Rays. Heading down the stretch, hoping to hold off the NY Yankees for first place in the AL East Division, the Rays will be without their No. 2 starter Shane McClanahan for a while. BREAKING: #Rays Shane McClanahan has left forearm tightness and is headed to the 15-day IL. — Ryan Bass (@Ry_Bass) September 4, 2026 The left-hander, making an excellent comeback this season after missing two years due to Tommy John surgery and a subsequent nerve procedu...
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...
