Aroldis Chapman Passes Physical, 2027 Option Vests
Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman has passed his end-of-season physical, according to reporter Francys Romero. This was the last detail required to turn Chapman’s mutual option for 2027 into a fully guaranteed deal, so the veteran southpaw is now locked into at least a $13MM salary for his age-39 season. The final salary should fall […]
Where Does Jordan Westburg Fit For The Orioles?
Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg missed all of 2026 with multiple injuries. First, it was an oblique strain over the winter. Then, it was an elbow issue that resulted in Tommy John surgery. Westburg went under the knife in May. President of baseball operations Mike Elias gave a vague timeline for Westburg’s availability for the 2027 […]
The Playoffs Are Revealing The Future White Sox Rotation
The terms “starter” and “reliever” don’t mean much to the White Sox. The club has consistently employed openers and bulk pitchers in lieu of typical starters this season. The postseason has been no different. Sean Burke made a somewhat normal start in the clincher against the Astros, but two quasi-starters came in after him (Anthony […]
The Pirates Nailed The Brandon Lowe Trade
The Astros went into last offseason in search of rotation depth. The Rays were looking to offload a cumbersome contract (by their standards). Enter the Pirates, who seized the opportunity and came away with a tremendous trade haul. Pittsburgh landed second baseman Brandon Lowe, left-hander Mason Montgomery, and outfielder Jake Mangum in the three-team deal. […]
The Opener: France, Rasmussen, Skubal
The Yankees managed just one hit yesterday. It still resulted in an out. Austin Wells roped a line drive down the right-field line in the eighth inning, but tried to stretch the double into a triple. He was thrown out easily at third. “I’m trying to make something happen,” Wells said (h/t Jon Heyman of […]
Yankees Hope To Retain Pitching Coach Matt Blake
As the Yankees look to rebound against the Rays following a 1-0 loss tonight, a key member of their coaching staff will see his contract expire at the end of the year. Matt Blake, who has served as the Yankees’ pitching coach since the 2020 season, is in the final stretch of his contract with […]
A Look At Nolan Arenado’s Comeback Year
Back in January, the Diamondbacks acquired Nolan Arenado from the Cardinals with the hope that he’d provide veteran stability at the hot corner as they made a run at a Wild Card. The latter didn’t happen, of course, but it was through no fault of Arenado. The 35-year-old wound up authoring a decent comeback campaign […]
Six Players Elect Minor League Free Agency
Six known players have elected minor league free agency in the past three days. While Major League free agents hit the open market five days after the end of the World Series, these eligible minor leaguers finished the season on outright assignments, so they’re able to get a head start on free agency. For further […]
Orioles Aiming To Improve Defensively In 2027
The Orioles finished 2026 with a disappointing 79-82 record and missed the playoffs for the second straight year. They scored 718 runs on offense but gave up 739 runs to opponents thanks in part to a middling starting rotation. Their middle-of-the-pack defense was another part of that equation, and improving defensively is an area of […]
Hazen: D-Backs To Prioritize Adding Left-Handed Bats
The Diamondbacks finished the season at 86-76 but just barely missed the playoffs via the Phillies’ win over the Rays on the final day of the regular season. They’ll enter the offseason looking to upgrade and get back to October in 2027, and they’ll have some leadership continuity with manager Torey Lovullo retained for at […]
Joe Espada Hopes To Remain Astros’ Manager In 2027
The Astros were swiftly knocked out of the postseason via a two-game sweep by the upstart White Sox. That’s the third straight year under manager Joe Espada in which Houston failed to make a deep postseason run, having been swept in the Wild Card Series in 2024 and 2026 and missing the playoffs entirely in […]
Details On The Yankees/Orioles Deadline Talks About Adley Rutschman
Prior to the blockbuster deal that sent Adley Rutschman to the Red Sox at the trade deadline, the Orioles were also discussing Rutschman with two other division rivals. The Rays and Yankees were known to have shown some interest in Rutschman’s services, and Jon Heyman of the New York Post shared some details on the […]
Dodgers, Braves Announce NLDS Rosters
The NL West and NL East champions will square off when the Dodgers host the Braves in Game 1 of the NLDS in Los Angeles. Tarik Skubal will start for the two-time defending World Series champs, while Atlanta counters with Dylan Dodd (as per MLB.com’s Mark Bowman) as the opener in what is expected to […]
Brewers, Padres Announce NLDS Rosters
The Brewers and Padres play Game 1 of the NLDS tonight in Milwaukee, with Jacob Misiorowski starting against Robbie Ray. The clubs have announced their 26-man rosters for the series, though the Padres have already made one change since the initial announcement this morning. Right-hander Randy Vasquez will temporarily replace fellow righty Walker Buehler, as […]
Rays Announce ALDS Roster
After winning 98 games, the AL East title, a first-round bye, and homefield advantage through the AL playoffs, the Rays are ready to begin their postseason journey. In advance of Game 1 of the ALDS against the Yankees, the Rays released their 26-man roster, led by Game 1 starter Drew Rasmussen. Catchers: Nick Fortes, Liam […]
Guardians, White Sox Announce ALDS Rosters
For the first time in the two franchises’ mutual 126 seasons of existence, the White Sox and Guardians will meet in the postseason. Hagen Smith starts (or, more accurately, opens) for Chicago against Guards starter Parker Messick in Game 1 of the ALDS this afternoon in Cleveland, and both clubs have now officially released their […]
Yankees Leave Aaron Judge Off ALDS Roster
Aaron Judge isn’t part of the Yankees’ roster for the AL Division Series, according to YES Network’s Jack Curry. Barring an injury that requires the removal of someone on the current 26-man roster, Judge will miss New York’s second consecutive playoff series. A right calf strain forced Judge to make an early exit from the […]
The Opener: ALDS, NLDS, Arbitration Projections
Three Hall-of-Famers share an October 3 birthday. Dennis Eckersley turns 72 years old today, Dave Winfield turns 75, and Fred Clarke (who passed away in 1960) was born on this day back in 1872. Each member of this trio played for a World Series champion, among their many other accomplishments. 1. White Sox/Guardians and Yankees/Rays […]
Projected Arbitration Salaries For 2027
Matt Swartz has created a model to project salaries for arbitration eligible players, which we’ve been publishing at MLB Trade Rumors for well over a decade. In the baseball industry, teams and agents determine arbitration salaries by identifying comparable players. To project the entire arbitration class in this way would take a massive amount of […]
D-Backs’ Executives Speak About Relationship With Ketel Marte
One of the biggest questions facing D-Backs brass is whether to put Ketel Marte on the trade block. Arizona listened to offers on their star second baseman last winter but seemingly didn’t come close to a deal. Marte crossed ten years of service time in early April, thereby securing full no-trade rights because he’s also […]
Hoyer: Cubs To Prioritize Offseason Around Pitching
The Cubs’ season came to an unceremonious end on Wednesday. Chicago was easily swept out of the Wild Card Series by San Diego. They lost by a combined 12-1 margin over the two contests. President of baseball operations Jed Hoyer met with reporters (including ESPN’s Jesse Rogers and Vinnie Duber of The Chicago Sun-Times) as […]
Brewers Notes: Vaughn, Woodruff
The Brewers activated Andrew Vaughn from the 10-day injured list on Friday. That positions the corner infielder to be on the Division Series roster when Milwaukee announces their 26-man squad for their matchup with the Padres. Vaughn has been out since September 22 due to illness. He should essentially be full-go for the postseason. He’ll provide […]
Diamondbacks To Reduce Payroll In 2027
The Diamondbacks came up two games shy of a playoff spot despite running a franchise-high payroll. Their spending will come down next season on the heels of their third straight missed October. “It will not be at the same level. It’ll be a lower payroll than we had this year,” owner Ken Kendrick told Burns […]
Previewing The Upcoming DH Class
With the regular season in the books, MLBTR is taking a position-by-position look at the 2026-27 free agent market. Next up is the collection of designated hitter options. Obviously, there are plenty of candidates at other positions — first base and corner outfield in particular — that some teams might view as more suited for […]
Jose Urquidy Remains Free Agent
5:00pm: Multiple sources, including Antonio Puesán, now report that Urquidy has not signed a deal with the Pirates. It appears it was a mistake in the MLB.com transaction logs. Urquidy remains a free agent. 4:40pm: Veteran righty Jose Urquidy cleared waivers and elected free agency on Wednesday. He didn’t have to wait long to find […]
