Yankees Leave Aaron Judge Off ALDS Roster

Aaron Judge isn’t part of the Yankees’ roster for the AL Division Series, according to YES Network’s Jack Curry.  Barring an injury that requires the removal of someone on the current 26-man roster, Judge will miss New York’s second consecutive playoff series.

D-Backs’ Executives Speak About Relationship With Ketel Marte

One of the biggest questions facing D-Backs brass is whether to put Ketel Marte on the trade block. Arizona listened to offers on their star second baseman last winter but seemingly didn’t come close to a deal. Marte crossed ten years of service time in early April, thereby securing full no-trade rights because he’s also […]

Hoyer: Cubs To Prioritize Offseason Around Pitching

Brewers Notes: Vaughn, Woodruff

The Brewers activated Andrew Vaughn from the 10-day injured list on Friday.

Diamondbacks To Reduce Payroll In 2027

The Diamondbacks came up two games shy of a playoff spot despite running a franchise-high payroll.

Oct. 2: Gasper had a successful Distal Biceps tendon repair today, the Red Sox announced.

He was designated for assignment on Tuesday when Giancarlo Stanton was activated from the 60-day IL. Cornielle passed through waivers and will remain in the minors with the organization.

Offseason Outlook: Miami Marlins

A promising start to the season was derailed by a franchise-record 12-game losing stream early in the summer. That led to another deadline spent doing more selling than buying, but the Marlins’ short-term outlook is increasingly bright thanks to some breakthrough performances in 2026. Guaranteed Contracts None Other Financial Obligations $20MM total owed to Yankees […]

Krall Discusses Reds’ Position Player Needs

The Reds enter the offseason looking to rebound from a last place finish in the NL Central.
