20+ min ago (199+ words) ORLANDO, Fla." Right before every home at-bat, JJ Wetherholt became entranced by a certain song. His walk-up music last season was Hulvey's "All For You," a song Wetherholt recently told me "can relax the nerves and you remember, like, it's not just really all about me." St. Louis Cardinals manager Oli Marmol is in the final year of his contract. As the Cardinals arrive to the Winter Meetings, a look at how the front office (and fans) will approach 2026 and beyond. Here at the Winter Meetings, there's a buzz about Jeff Kent getting into Cooperstown" but more about how Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens didn't.

31+ min ago (672+ words) Dec 9, 2025 | 10:30 AM EST The MLB Winter Meetings are in full swing in Orlando. With all general managers and managers suited up for Day 2 of festivities, Aaron Boone fielded some questions on Cody Bellinger's free agency. When asked how much he'd like to see Cody Bellinger back in pinstripes, he said, "Who wouldn't want a player like that? He's earned the right now to get to this point of his career with free agency." Bellinger really had a great year with the Yankees this time. While nothing is guaranteed, they're making it a priority to resign him. And Jon Heyman confirmed that a few days ago. That day, he also mentioned that Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker will be the Yankees' fallback option if Bellinger signs elsewhere." However, as it seems, the Yankees might not be pursuing Tucker at all after Joel…...

31+ min ago (889+ words) CLEVELAND, Ohio " There are few things more American than baseball and politics. One can unify fans while the other has the unique ability to polarize the nation. And it's nothing new. J.B. Manheim focuses on those two quintessential topics in his 2025 book, "House Divided," which tells the story of the first congressional baseball game pitting partisan sides - Democrats vs. Republicans. The game, first held in 1909, is still going, despite missing a few years here and there. And while it's a Beltway thing, it made national news in 2017 when House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was shot at practice for the game. For Manheim, researching the inaugural game was kind of a natural fit. Manheim was born in Cleveland and moved to El Paso when he was young. But he remembers trips back to Northeast Ohio. "We would make these trips back to…...

32+ min ago (610+ words) Dec 9, 2025 | 10:29 AM EST Every December, the powers that be at Major League Baseball gather to play a game of chance that somehow feels more dramatic than the World Series itself. It's where fortunes shift, tanking strategies are punished, and fan hope is doled out in measured doses. Yes, the MLB Draft Lottery is back, and someone's picking first, whether they deserve it or not. The MLB Draft Lottery was introduced in 2023 to reduce intentional losing by teams. Eligible non-playoff teams are entered into a lottery for the top six picks. Odds for each team are determined based on their regular-season winning percentage. Teams with worse records have higher chances, but any eligible team can win the top pick. The lottery uses an air-blown machine that releases numbered ping pong balls for selection. Four balls are drawn to generate a four-digit…...

36+ min ago (577+ words) Tampa Bay Rays CEO Ken Babby, part of the Major League Baseball team's new ownership group, said leaders are considering "a handful" of sites for a new stadium and related development in the Tampa Bay region, the Tampa Bay Times reported. But details on what those sites are continue to be elusive. Speaking to the Times at MLB's winter meetings in Orlando, Babby said he was confident that if the team identified a good public/private partnership, a new stadium could be ready for the 2029 season. The Rays are currently set to continue playing at Tropicana Field through the 2028 season. That's a one-year extension on the team's original 2027 deadline that was implemented after the Rays had to play elsewhere for the 2025 season while Tropicana Field was repaired following massive roof damage from 2024's Hurricane Milton.

Multisport standout Babe Didrikson Zaharias won six times over the 1930s, "40s and "50s, the most by a man or woman.

42+ min ago (544+ words) The Boston Red Sox are remaking their pitching staff this offseason, and Steven Matz was a casualty of that. The effective left-handed reliever departed Boston, agreeing to a two-year contract with the American League East-rival Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. The Red Sox had acquired Matz from the St. Louis Cardinals for minor-league infielder Blaze Jordan at the trade deadline to bolster their bullpen, since 2025 was Matz's first full season as a reliever. Matz was largely effective for Boston, posting a 2.08 ERA and one save in 21 relief appearances. He also threw a pair of scoreless innings in Boston's AL Wild Card series against the New York Yankees. Acquiring a rental like Matz for a prospect like Jordan, who is MLB ready but does not project as a top-flight major leaguer, was a perfect low-risk move that helped Boston get to…...
