Offseason Outlook: Chicago White Sox
The White Sox became the first team ever to follow three consecutive 100-loss seasons with a playoff berth. They knocked out the Astros for their first series win in two decades in the Wild Card Series. It was an excellent season relative to expectations, though they surely feel they squandered an opportunity by failing to […]
Miguel Rojas Announces Retirement
Tonight marked the final game of Miguel Rojas’ career. The two-time World Series winner and 2025 postseason hero told reporters that he’s retiring after the Dodgers were eliminated by the Brewers on Thursday evening (link via Alden González of ESPN). The news doesn’t come as a huge surprise. Rojas announced last fall that he intended to […]
Kona Takahashi Could Explore MLB Opportunities This Offseason
Right-hander Kona Takahashi might be back on the major league radar this offseason, writes Michael Clair of MLB.com. Clair notes that the 29-year-old is eligible for international free agency this winter. A Japanese-language report from Nikkan Sports earlier this week suggested that Takahashi was inclined to explore MLB opportunities. It’d be the righty’s second straight year […]
Braves Select Brett Wisely
The Braves added infielder Brett Wisely to their 40-man roster, according to the MLB.com transaction tracker. Atlanta sent outfielder DaShawn Keirsey Jr. outright off the roster in a corresponding move, suggesting they quietly placed him on waivers this week. The tracker also indicates that Luke Williams officially elected free agency, a formality after he cleared outright waivers yesterday. […]
Yankees Only Expected To Issue Qualifying Offer To David Bednar
The Yankees are leaning toward issuing a qualifying offer to closer David Bednar, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post. Heyman writes that the Yanks are less likely to issue the QO to Jazz Chisholm Jr. and are inclined to let him walk as a free agent. The qualifying offer is a one-year offer that […]
AL Central Notes: Caminero, Melton, White Sox, Holderman
The ALCS matchup between the Guardians and Rays has put the spotlight back on one of the most infamous trades in Cleveland baseball history — the November 2021 swap that sent Junior Caminero to Tampa Bay in exchange for right-hander Tobias Myers, who never threw a big league pitch in a Guards uniform. Myers was […]
Preller, Stammen Discuss Padres’ Offseason, Rotation, Injuries
Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller and manager Craig Stammen held an end-of-season wrap-up session yesterday, with the San Diego Union-Tribune’s Kevin Acee, MLB.com’s AJ Cassavell, and The Athletic’s Dennis Lin among the reporters on the video call. As has been the case during most of Preller’s tenure, he reiterated that the organization is […]
Rockies Fire Pitching Coach Alon Leichman
The Rockies have parted ways with pitching coach Alon Leichman, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal and Keith Law. Leichman held the position for just one season, as the Rox only hired the 37-year-old last December. On paper, the quick hook isn’t necessarily a surprise given that Colorado’s pitching staff finished last in baseball in […]
Offseason Outlook: Baltimore Orioles
The Orioles fell short of expectations in 2026. They sold at the deadline but it doesn’t appear they are kicking off any kind of rebuild. Assuming they plan to return to contention in 2027, there are many questions to be answered. Guaranteed Contracts Pete Alonso, 1B: $124MM through 2030 Kyle Bradish, RHP: $90MM through 2031 […]
Reds Avoid Arbitration With Oswaldo Cabrera
The Reds announced that they have agreed to a one-year, Major League contract with utilityman Oswaldo Cabrera. The signing allows the two sides to avoid salary arbitration, and MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon reports that Cabrera will earn $1MM in guaranteed salary plus up to $200K in bonuses related to plate appearances. There was some thought that […]
Two Players Elect Minor League Free Agency
A pair of players from NL East teams have elected minor league free agency, according to the MiLB.com transactions page. The details… Payton Henry (Phillies) Henry played in 20 games with the Marlins in 2021-22, which remains the catcher’s only on-field action in the majors. The 2026 season saw Henry return to a big league […]
Orioles’ Cade Povich Undergoes Elbow Surgery
Orioles left-hander Cade Povich underwent surgery to remove loose bodies in his elbow on Wednesday, Matt Weyrich of the Baltimore Sun reports. He is expected to be ready for Spring Training. Povich, who divided the season between Baltimore and Triple-A Norfolk, went on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation on May 8 and did […]
Phillies Re-Sign Tim Mayza, Hire Carlos Mendoza As Third Base Coach

That’s a raise over the $1.75MM salary he collected this year. 9:38am: The Phillies made a couple of notable moves on Thursday morning, president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski announced. In addition to re-signing left-handed reliever Tim Mayza to a one-year deal, the Phillies hired […]
Phillies Reached Out To Chase Utley, Raul Ibanez In Managerial Search
The Phillies put an end to their managerial search when they promoted interim skipper Don Mattingly to the full-time role on Wednesday. They showed interest in ex-Red Sox manager Alex Cora during the process, but he wasn’t the only outside candidate on their radar. President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski formally requested permission to contact […]
The Opener: Brewers Up 3-0, Bauers/Mitchell, Williams

Phillies Sign Don Mattingly To Two-Year Deal
Don Mattingly is the Phillies “interim” manager no more, as the team announced today that he’ll shed that interim label and be named the new full-time skipper. President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said in a press release that Mattingly has signed a two-year deal covering the 2027-28 seasons. Mattingly relieved former manager Rob Thomson […]
Braves Outright Luke Williams
The Braves sent utility player Luke Williams through outright waivers, according to the MLB.com transaction log. Atlanta designated him for assignment last week when they added Danny Young to the roster to keep him out of minor league free agency this offseason. Williams hasn’t technically elected free agency, according to the tracker, but it’s a formality that […]
White Sox To Pursue Starting Pitching
White Sox general manager Chris Getz spoke with members of the media today, including James Fegan of the Chicago Sun Times, after the club was recently eliminated by the Guardians. Looking ahead to 2027, Getz said the Sox will pursue starting pitching this offseason. It’s not a surprising declaration. Though the Sox had a good […]
Offseason Outlook: Detroit Tigers
The Tigers never recovered from an atrocious May. They wound up dealing the two-time defending Cy Young winner at the deadline but didn’t orchestrate any kind of rebuild. They’ll look to reload this offseason and improve upon a 76-86 finish, yet it’s going to take a lot of work on the pitching staff and some […]
