Phillies rumors: Philadelphia joins Dodgers, Yankees in Jonathan Loaisiga sweepstakes

The Philadelphia Phillies have entered the race for 32‑year‑old free‑agent reliever Jonathan Loaisiga, joining the Dodgers, Yankees, Blue Jays and Mets, reports NY Post’s Jon Heyman. Loaisiga posted a 2.42 ERA over 67 appearances for Arizona in 2026 and could bolster a Phillies bullpen that relies on closer Jhoan Duran but has several question marks. Philadelphia’s offseason may also see moves for starters like Tarik Skubal and potential trades involving Brandon Marsh and Trea Turner, signaling a possible roster overhaul for 2027.

What teams are biggest competition to Phillies for Teruaki Sato?

The Phillies are reportedly targeting NPB Triple Crown winner Teruaki Sato, planning to shift him to the outfield to make room for prospect Aidan Miller at third base. If signed, Sato would become Philadelphia’s first Japanese player since 2008. The article outlines the biggest rivals for his services: the Seattle Mariners, who could use him in left field or third and have a history of Japanese players; the Los Angeles Dodgers, who already boast Ohtani, Yamamoto and Sasaki but have a crowded outfield; the Toronto Blue Jays, active in acquiring Japanese talent and could slot Sato in left field or as DH; and the Texas Rangers, who have done extensive scouting but would need to move a high‑salary player. Each team’s roster fit and market appeal are analyzed as the offseason approaches.

Flyers @ Blue Jackets: How to watch, lineups, and gamethread

The Flyers close their road trip with a back-to-back at Columbus on Nov. 14, 2026, with puck drop at 7 p.m. on NBCSP (or 97.5 The Fanatic). The lineup stays unchanged: Bunting, Dvorak, Tippett, Martone, Cates, Michkov, Foerster, Zegras, Konecny, Barkey, Couturier, Acciari and defense pair Sanheim‑Drysdale, York‑Bonk, Seeler‑Ristolainen, plus Woll in goal. Key storylines include Matvei Michkov’s rising minutes after a strong Edmonton outing and the Flyers’ attempt to sustain momentum from their recent solid performance. Columbus fields a depleted roster led by Voronkov, Fantilli, Nichushkin and goalies Cam Talbot or Jet Greaves.

Mets’ perfect contract offer for Alec Bohm in free agency

ClutchPoints recommends the New York Mets sign 30‑year‑old first‑baseman Alec Bohm to a one‑year, $12 million guaranteed deal for 2027, with no options. Bohm, who hit .249/.315/.383 with 15 homers for the Phillies in 2026 and surged to .274/.340/.433 after May 9, offers a low‑risk upgrade for a club that finished 74‑88. The proposal hinges on giving him enough playing time—first base, DH or corner‑infielder—to justify the salary while leaving him free agency after one season. The Mets must balance his left‑handed platoon strength against defensive concerns and existing options like Jared Young.

Bengals could end up with more egg on their face from Arnold Ebiketie trade debacle

The Bengals withdrew from a trade for edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie after learning it could jeopardize their extra third‑round compensatory pick earned from losing Trey Hendrickson to the Ravens. Initially set to give the Eagles a sixth‑rounder, the deal was scrapped when OverTheCap.com highlighted the compensation conflict, prompting GM Duke Tobin to apologize on the team's behalf. Adding to the drama, the Seahawks signed former Bengals guard Cordell Volson to their practice squad; if he becomes a starter, he might generate an additional seventh‑round compensatory pick for Cincinnati, potentially salvaging the trade scenario.

Three players to keep an eye on as Oilers trade targets

The Oilers are eyeing three potential trade targets to boost their offense early in the 2026‑27 season. Russian left‑winger Matvei Michkov (Philadelphia, 21) is posting 10‑5 in 21 games and could become a third scoring line if Edmonton can afford a sizable package. Veteran right‑winger Rickard Rakell (Pittsburgh, 33) contributes 6‑5 in 19 games; despite his $5 M cap hit and no‑trade list, he may waive for a Cup run. Center Morgan Frost (Calgary, 27) is also listed as a viable option. Acquiring any of these players now would let the Oilers integrate them before the playoff push.

Matvei Michkov reportedly won’t leave Flyers amid potential trade rumors

Despite recent trade chatter, the Philadelphia Flyers say they have no plans to move 21‑year‑old winger Matvei Michkov this season. Pierre LeBrun notes the team wants the buzz to die down while Michkov continues his strong play—10 goals and 5 assists in 21 games, shooting 34.5% and tallying half his goals on the power play. A brief bench flare‑up with teammate Nick Seeler during a 3‑1 win over Vancouver sparked the rumors, but both players downplayed the incident. The Flyers remain focused on Michkov as a core piece of their rebuild ahead of his impending restricted free‑agent status.

Eagles’ Howie Roseman Turns Heads With Darian Mensah Interaction

Eagles GM Howie Roseman was spotted at the Miami vs. Duke game watching top college quarterback Darian Mensah, sparking speculation that Philadelphia may target him in the 2027 NFL Draft after Jalen Hurts' season ends due to recurring blood clots. Mensah boasts a 76.8% completion rate, 2,694 passing yards, 28 touchdowns and only two interceptions, plus 137 rushing yards and two scores. Fans are buzzing, debating whether he could replace Hurts, while insiders note Roseman may simply be gathering intel. The article outlines the health concerns surrounding Hurts and the potential quarterback shake‑up for the Eagles.

Flyer’s 2nd-Round Pick Makes His College Decision

Philadelphia’s 2026 second‑round pick, defenseman Brek Liske, announces he will play college hockey at the University of Wisconsin for the 2027‑28 season. After a breakout WHL year with the Everett Silvertips—3 goals and 14 points in 19 games, far surpassing his 7‑goal, 24‑point rookie campaign—Liske heads to the nation’s top-ranked Badgers, who finished runner‑up in the 2026 NCAA championship. He joins a blueline stacked with fellow NHL draftees Luke Osborne, Jack Phelan, Logan Hensler, and Jayden Kurtz, positioning him for further development before debuting with the Flyers.

Howie Roseman seen chatting up one of the top quarterback draft prospects

Philadelphia Eagles GM Howie Roseman was spotted at the Duke‑Miami college game chatting with Miami Hurricanes quarterback Darian Mensah, a top 2027 NFL Draft prospect. While Roseman’s visit may be family‑focused—his son Jake plays at Duke—the pre‑game encounter sparked talk of Philadelphia potentially targeting Mensah, who is ranked seventh overall and third‑best QB by ESPN’s Mel Kiper and sits at +290 Heisman odds. However, Mensah’s draft eligibility remains uncertain, and the Eagles, projected to pick fifth overall, have no guarantee they’ll select a quarterback this year.

Alec Bohm makes sense for the Yankees at one guaranteed year

The Yankees are eyeing Phillies third‑baseman Alec Bohm as a one‑year, platoon option against left‑handed pitching. Bohm posted a .698 OPS last season, splintering to .816 vs. lefties and .644 vs. righties, while posting a -9 Fielding Run Value. The article advises pairing him with Ryan McMahon, using Bohm mainly for left‑handed matchups and swapping him out defensively when needed. It notes roster flexibility, Bohm’s occasional first‑base experience, and cautions against a multi‑year guarantee unless his post‑All‑Star .794 OPS sustains. The piece weighs the platoon benefit against the roster cost for New York.

NFL Details Jalen Hurts Blood Clot Probe Steps To Senator

The NFL sent a letter to Sen. Bill Blunt Rochester outlining its investigation into quarterback Jalen Hurts' blood clot case. Hurts, 28, was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 17 after a superficial clot discovered in London escalated to deep‑vein thrombosis with bilateral pulmonary emboli. The league and NFLPA will appoint mutually agreed independent medical experts to review how the situation was handled and advise on future clotting‑disorder protocols, though the joint review has not yet started. Hurts is clinically stable but on blood thinners, ruling out contact activity, and is expected to miss the rest of the 2026 season, with a possible 2027 return. Tanner McKee now starts for the Eagles while the investigation proceeds.

Latest On Ketel Marte

Diamondbacks met with second baseman Ketel Marte’s agent during this week’s GM meetings, but Arizona still lacks a clear picture of which teams Marte would approve a trade with. As a 10‑and‑5 player, Marte has full no‑trade protection, leaving the D‑Backs in a bind as the looming December 1 lockout could stall any deal. General manager Mike Hazen hints at targeting top talent—whether proven MLB players or prospects—while also trying to shed part of Marte’s $91.75 million salary. Interest remains from the Blue Jays, Giants, Mariners, Phillies, Rays, Red Sox and Tigers, though Seattle, San Francisco and Pittsburgh appear out of contention.

49ers checked in on veteran Eagles tight end; Mac Jones asking price was too rich for the Vikings

The 49ers’ GM John Lynch tells the Vikings a second‑round pick and more is required for backup quarterback Mac Jones, ending trade talks and keeping Jones—a 5‑3 starter with a 97.4 rating last season—on the roster. Meanwhile, the team eyes Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert, but the 31‑year‑old stays in Philadelphia despite interest. Both moves reflect San Francisco’s strategy to secure high‑value talent ahead of a playoff run.

Eagles News: “Independent medical experts will examine the circumstances around Jalen Hurts’ blood clots”

The NFL has appointed independent medical experts to review the circumstances of quarterback Jalen Hurts' recent blood clots, with findings to be shared with the league and the NFLPA after a request from Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester. The investigation follows Hurts' health scare earlier this season. Meanwhile, the Eagles release veteran tackle Fred Johnson during their bye week and debate the development of young players like WR Makai Lemon and OL prospects. The piece also touches on the franchise's draft strategy and past draft moves that impacted their future picks.

Flyers Trade Talk: Exploring the Fit of a Western Conference Center

The Philadelphia Flyers are reportedly eyeing Chicago Blackhawks prospect Oliver Moore as a low‑cost, two‑way center to fill a middle‑six role. Moore, a 21‑year‑old former 19th‑overall pick, is under a five‑year, $4.25 million‑per‑year extension and has logged 78 NHL games with 7 goals and 27 points, plus a strong AHL showing. While not an offensive powerhouse, his speed, defensive reliability, and play‑driving ability fit Rick Tocchet’s system. Trade talks also mention Frank Nazar, but Chicago likely keeps him. The article weighs Moore’s value against potential returns like Owen Tippett, suggesting he could be a solid, affordable option for Philadelphia.
