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

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...

The Pittsburgh Pirates reliever announced his retirement Saturday, immediately after making the first start of his entire 12-year career. "I don't have anything left. Let's put it that way," Yates said after the game. "I've been running on fumes for a while, and I think it's just time, and it's felt like it's been time for a little while now."

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...
Max Scherzer Teases Major Announcement About His Future
Max Scherzer isn't ready to say whether Wednesday was one of his final career starts, but he's made clear an answer is coming soon.

Ex-GM Blasts Guerrero Jr. For Outrageous Contract Comments
So what does an actual ex-major league baseball general manager feel about a player saying he was given a gargantuan long-term contract based on "past performance" only? Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s shocking comments in a Spanish-language interview that came out on Wednesday have the whole baseball world shaking its collective head.

"The industry believes it's a matter of time before it happens," Murray wrote, while noting the situation could still shift, particularly if Mattingly leads Philadelph...
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Brushes Off Abysmal Season With Wild Claims
The Toronto Blue Jays were officially eliminated from playoff contention on Wednesday afternoon. Their extremely disappointing season can, more or less, be summed up in two words (well, two and a half): Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The $500 Million Dollar Man massively underperformed in the first year of that 14-year extension, with only nine home runs and a .695 OPS. But while he's disappointed and frustrated with his season, he gave a stunning comment to a Spanish-language outlet about his co...

"If they want to talk, I...

Sonny Gray Could Land Massive Amount On Next Contract
We heard a shocking rumor earlier this month that Boston Red Sox ace Sonny Gray might actually retire after this, the best season of his career. But before the 36-year-old makes that call, he should consider this: If Sonny Gray doesn’t retire, some in the industry expect him to match or exceed the 3-year, $75 million deal the Rangers gave to Nathan Eovaldi after the 2024 season, per @ChrisCotillo . pic.twitter.com/alwihXe4Xa — Tyler Milliken (@tylermilliken_) September 17, 2026 Red Sox insider...
Aaron Judge's Postseason Availability Suddenly In Doubt

Free Agent Afterthought Now Set For Huge Payday This Offseason
As midseason rolled around, it looked like a top-of-the-rotation arm had cost himself many tens of millions of dollars on the free agent market this winter. Coming into the year, bracing for his first season with the New York Mets and going into a contract year, Freddy Peralta was refusing any advances by the Mets to sign an extension. The 30-year-old right-hander was reportedly seeking a 7-to-8-year commitment, and Mets GM David Stearns wasn't interested. Then Peralta went out and fell flat o...
Dodgers Expected To Trade Teoscar Hernandez This Offseason

"Los Angeles Dodgers left fielder Teoscar Hernandez's name came up i...
