Reds Ace Facing Long Recovery Could Still Be Traded This Offseason
Hunter Greene's name was already floating around trade rumors before his season ended in surgery. Now, with a lengthy recovery ahead of him, the Cincinnati Reds face a decision about whether to try moving him anyway this winter. Greene underwent surgery on his right elbow ligament in early August, the second procedure on that elbow in six months alone, following a spring operation to remove loose bodies that had already cost him the first three months of the season. He finished 202...

Rangers Sign Former Homegrown Reliever
The Texas Rangers added pitching depth as rosters expanded to 28 for September, signing left-hander John King to a minor league contract. The move came alongside two active-roster additions, recalling utility infielder Cam Cauley from Triple-A Round Rock and signing right-hander Trevor Williams to a major league deal.

Video: Ketel Marte Has Absolutely SHOCKING Message for Diamondbacks Fans
After slapping his teammates in the face, metaphorically speaking, by going AWOL on them last week in the middle of a playoff chase, Ketel Marte has now left Arizona Diamondbacks fans wondering what he thinks of them. He finally returned to the team on Monday night after his two-week absence, but watch his shocking lack of emotion or contrition as he is asked directly if he had a message for D-Backs fans: When asked if he had a message for Arizona Diamondbacks fans, Ketel Marte was silen...
Yankees Beat The Clock To Claim Veteran Reliever Off Waivers
The New York Yankees claimed right-hander John Schreiber off waivers from the Kansas City Royals , adding another arm to a bullpen that's leaned heavily on outside help down the stretch. Monday, August 31, was the final day contending teams could claim a player off waivers and still have him eligible for a potential postseason roster, since players must be with an organization by September 1 to qualify. Sherman reported Schreiber will officially join the roster Tuesday, giving New York a...
AL East Team Claims Luis Robert Jr. Off Waivers For Playoff Stretch Run
He was a bust in his first year in Queens, so the New York Mets decided to move on from Luis Robert Jr. by placing him on waivers. The Baltimore Orioles have jumped in to claim the former All-Star.

Angels Star's Trade Market Heating Up Ahead Of Offseason
The Los Angeles Angels held onto Zach Neto at the trade deadline, but that decision looks more like a delay as the offseason approaches. Per Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register, the Angels are expected to continue trade discussions on both Neto and pitcher Reid Detmers this winter. "It's also possible the Angels could trade Neto and/or Reid Detmers to get some hitting prospects," Fletcher wrote, noting the two sides had already talked before the deadline and those conversations a...
Marlins Pitcher Will Be Prime Trade Candidate This Winter
The Miami Marlins remain within striking distance of a Wild Card in the National League, and that's due in large part to the return to prominence of former Cy Young winner Sandy Alcantara. At 13-8, with a 3.46 ERA, and a 2.29 ERA in the second half over his last nine crucial starts, it's clear why the Marlins continually fended off any trade offers for their veteran ace. Alcantara, the 2022 Cy Young Award winner, missed the 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery, and struggled in his return las...
Yankees Sign Former Top MLB Prospect After 4th DFA This Season
To say it's been a rollercoaster this season for Jarred Kelenic would be an understatement. He's been DFA'd four times, but is about to get another shot. Yankees have signed OF Jarred Kelenic to a minor league deal and will report to Triple-A, per @BryanHoch pic.twitter.com/YusoROuyEC — Talkin' Yanks (@TalkinYanks) August 29, 2026 The New York Yankees are taking a low-risk swing on the former top prospect, signing the outfielder to a minor league contract after his latest roster setback with t...
MLB Suspends Prospect Who Faked His Own Death
From the "Just when you thought you'd heard it all" department, comes this: MLB has suspended a young international prospect out of the Dominican, foiling a $2.8 million fraud scheme. The player had faked his death and played amateur ball under a false identity and a false age. MLB suspended Daury David Severino Damaso after uncovering an alleged plot to make him appear nearly two years younger, per @Alden_Gonzalez . The scheme reportedly included falsified records, a fake identity, a fraudul...
Blue Jays Add Former All-Star To Patch Thin Rotation
The Toronto Blue Jays moved fast Thursday, signing right-hander Michael Lorenzen to a major league deal just weeks after the Colorado Rockies released him. Per MLB.com's Keegan Matheson, Lorenzen already had a locker set up in Toronto's clubhouse hours before the move was formally announced. A Rough Season That Still Comes Cheap The results this year haven't been kind to Lorenzen. He went 3-11 with a 7.08 ERA across 26 games for Colorado before his release, a steep drop from his ...
Frontrunner named to land slugger on waivers, Eugenio Suarez

Yankees Sign Former All-Star On Wild Journeyman Run
The New York Yankees added bullpen help, signing right-hander Michael Fulmer to a major league contract and adding him to the active roster ahead of their game against the Houston Astros. New York also recalled Elmer Rodriguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, optioned Bradley Hanner back down, placed Fernando Cruz on the 15-day injured list with right elbow discomfort, and transferred Kervin Castro to the 60-day IL to clear a 40-man spot for Fulmer. Remarkable Pace Of Movement Fulmer's...
AL Team Linked To Ketel Marte Trade Amid Turmoil
The Kansas City Royals have a need for a middle-of-the-order bat, and the answer could be sitting in Arizona. Ketel Marte's situation with the Diamondbacks has grown increasingly complicated in recent weeks. The three-time All-Star was placed on the restricted list following an unexplained absence before a game in Boston, was later seen at a casino during a team win over the Reds while still away from the club, and has since been transferred from the restricted list to the injured list.&...
Blue Jays Hit With Another Massive Injury Blow
The injury bug has not been kind to the Toronto Blue Jays in 2026. In particular, to their pitching staff. The latest starter to go down is Shane Bieber, who had finally seemed like he'd regained his top form. The Blue Jays have placed Shane Bieber on the 15-day IL with right teres major inflammation, retroactive to August 21, the team announced. Chad Dallas has been recalled from Triple-A. pic.twitter.com/QjhkcD36Da — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) August 25, 2026 Bieber has been placed on the ...
Orioles Pitcher With 3.93 ERA Elects Free Agency
Albert Suarez and the Baltimore Orioles are running through the same unusual routine again. The right-hander cleared outright waivers and elected free agency rather than accept an assignment to Triple-A Norfolk, the Orioles announced. It's the second time this year Suarez has gone through this exact sequence, and the fourth time he's been designated for assignment by Baltimore in 2026 alone. A Season Built Entirely On This Cycle The pattern has repeated itself with almost comic regul...

Marlins Surprisingly Cut Lefty Reliever With Strong Numbers
The Miami Marlins designated left-handed reliever John King for assignment, opening a 40-man roster spot for right-hander Jack Ralston, who was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville. King's fall was sudden. He was excellent for Miami before suffering an ankle injury last month, but has posted a brutal 10.24 ERA and 8.67 FIP with just three strikeouts across 9.2 innings since returning from it. Still, he owns a 3.99 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and a 33/17 K/BB ratio over 49.2 innings this season. Wh...
Nationals Claim Knuckleballer Off Waivers From Blue Jays
The Washington Nationals added bullpen depth, claiming right-hander Matt Waldron off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays. In the corresponding move, left-hander Connelly Early was transferred from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL, a shift that doesn't affect his recovery timeline since he wasn't expected back before the end of August anyway. Waldron becomes the Nationals' third organization of the season, a whirlwind stretch even by journeyman standards. A Month Of Constant Move...
Ketel Marte Adds To Drama With Another Questionable Decision: 'Bad Optics'
At some point, it just has to be time for the Arizona Diamondbacks to say enough is enough, doesn't it? After last week's drama when Marte went AWOL and didn't show up at the ballpark for a game in Boston, he was immediately placed on baseball's restricted list, just minutes before the team's game. His absence was a complete mystery to everyone in the organization, and stayed that way for a couple of days. Since then, Marte, his agent, manager Torey Lovullo, and GM Mike Hazen have held what ha...
Yankees Sign Once-Dominant Reliever Off Waivers
The New York Yankees kept adding to their bullpen depth, agreeing to a minor league deal with right-hander Eli Morgan. Morgan had been designated for assignment by the Kansas City Royals on August 13, cleared waivers, and was outrighted to Triple-A Omaha before electing free agency. New York wasted little time scooping him up. The Version New York Is Betting On Two years ago, Morgan was one of the more dominant relievers in baseball. He posted a career-best 1.93 ERA across 42 innings...
Report: Angels Will Push To Trade 2 Star Players This Offseason
The Los Angeles Angels were one of the most notable "sellers" at the trade deadline, and had some big names up for grabs. And while they did swing trades for the likes of Jo Adell, Jose Soriano and Kirby Yates and others, two of the most enticing names were not dealt. But that might not last for long. According to a report by Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register, the Angels will continue to talk trade this offseason on shortstop Zach Neto and starting pitcher Reid Detmers. T...
Phillies Claim Reliever Off Waivers From Diamondbacks
The Philadelphia Phillies added bullpen depth, claiming right-hander Andrew Hoffmann off waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks and optioning him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. To open a 40-man roster spot, Philadelphia recalled infielder/outfielder Felix Reyes from Lehigh Valley and placed him on the 60-day injured list with a fractured right wrist. Arizona designated Hoffmann for assignment earlier in the week, and he had actually been listed as released on MLB.com's transactions tracker as...
