Which Hitters Will Receive The Qualifying Offer?
As the regular season winds down, almost half the league is focused on the upcoming offseason. One of the first major decisions teams which need to make is whether to issue any of their free agents a qualifying offer. That needs to happen within five days of the end of the World Series. The qualifying […]
Salvador Perez Going “Year By Year” With His Career
It’s been a rough season for Salvador Perez, whose -1.0 fWAR is the lowest of any qualified hitter in baseball. Perez has 19 home runs and is still en route to his tenth season of 20-plus homers, but he has otherwise hit just .228/.273/.383 over 574 plate appearances, translating to a career-low 77 wRC+. Perez […]

Mets Release Joe Jacques
The Mets released Joe Jacques, according to the left-hander’s MLB.com profile page.

Seibu Lions right-hander Kaima Taira is drawing a lot of interest from Major League teams, with ESPN’s Jeff Passan writing that Taira is “expected to be posted in early November.” Such Japanese news outlets as Sanspo and the Yakyu Cosmopolitan recently listed the Mets, Blue Jays, Yankees, Padres, White Sox, Cubs, Angels, Mariners, and Rangers […]
Braves Discussed Trading Spencer Strider At Deadline
Jacob deGrom made trade speculation a moot point when the Rangers ace invoked his no-trade clause at this year’s deadline, though it wasn’t clear if deGrom blocked a specific deal on the table. The Braves were linked to deGrom’s market, and according to MLB.com’s Mark Bowman and Mark Feinsand, Atlanta floated moving Spencer Strider as […]
Guardians’ Andrew Walters Undergoes UCL Surgery
Guardians righty Andrew Walters underwent an internal brace procedure to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow this week, reports Tim Stebbins of MLB.com. That will cost him most, if not all of the 2027 season. It’s another setback for the talented Walters, whose 2025 campaign came to an end last June when […]
Yankees Place Jazz Chisholm Jr. On Injured List
Sept. 10: The Yankees have now formally announced Chisholm’s IL placement and Volpe’s recall from Triple-A. Chisholm’s IL stint is retroactive to yesterday, so he can return in nine days’ time.

The Opener: De La Cruz, Brewers, Mets/Marlins

Dodgers To Place Shohei Ohtani On 15-Day IL
After being in and out of the lineup over the past week, Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani is landing on the injured list, manager Dave Roberts told reporters last night. Ohtani has been working through knee and arm injuries. Given his two-way status, he’s required to go on the 15-day IL for pitchers, not the […]
Dodgers To Promote Josue De Paula
The Dodgers are bringing up top outfield prospect Josue De Paula, reports Alden González of ESPN. L.A. is off tomorrow, so the move won’t be made official until Friday’s series opener in Miami. The corresponding moves aren’t clear, though it’s notable that De Paula’s injury comes as Shohei Ohtani was again out of tonight’s lineup. Ohtani […]
Braves, Eric Haase Agree To Minor League Deal
The Braves signed catcher Eric Haase to a minor league deal last week, according to the MLB.com transaction tracker. He’s been assigned to their Florida complex.

Phil Maton To Undergo Knee Surgery
Cubs reliever Phil Maton will undergo right knee surgery this week, reports Meghan Montemurro of The Chicago Tribune.

What Would It Cost To Extend Adley Rutschman?
The Red Sox gave up a strong package of talent in order to bring catcher Adley Rutschman to Boston. Fellow catcher Carlos Narváez went to Baltimore along with prospects Anthony Eyanson, Enddy Azocar, Kyson Witherspoon and Harold Rivas, the latter as the player to be named later. The Sox also acquired Jake Rogers and cash […]
Can Seiya Suzuki Outearn Himself?
Before he travelled stateside, Seiya Suzuki was one of the best hitters in Nippon Professional Baseball. Maybe the best. Across his final three NPB seasons, he led the league with a 1.015 OPS. No one reached base or crossed the plate more often than the Hiroshima Carp superstar. Even so, as the 2021-22 offseason began, most […]

The Orioles announced today that infielder/outfielder Blaze Alexander has been placed on the 10-day injured list with low back discomfort.

Padres Release Blake Hunt
The Padres have released catcher Blake Hunt, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. He had been designated for assignment earlier this week.

Carson Whisenhunt Scheduled For Tommy John Surgery Next Week
The Giants already made it known last month that young lefty Carson Whisenhunt had been diagnosed with ligament damage in his left elbow and would require surgery of some kind. Whisenhunt was headed for another opinion to determine whether he’d need a full UCL reconstruction (i.e. Tommy John surgery) or an internal brace procedure. It […]
Albert Suárez Elects Free Agency
The Orioles announced that right-hander Albert Suárez has cleared waivers and elected free agency in lieu of accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk.
