2+ min ago (616+ words) Dec 14, 2025 | 1:05 PM EST Ranger Suarez is shaping up to be one of the quiet power pieces this season. The Phillies appear to want to be interested in letting him walk, confident that their depth of rotation would absorb the move. That confidence, however, is creating an opportunity for someone else. Now, for a while, the Padres looked like a real landing spot for Suarez with rumor mills going on about it. But the idea didn't last long. Insider Jim Riley made it clear that the Padres' plans have flipped entirely. "Originally I had the Padres," Riley said. "This was all before they really got hammered with the financial stuff" they need to go backwards in terms of payroll." And honestly, what Jim Riley is saying makes sense, because outside of Manny Machado and Jackson Merrill, nearly everyone is suddenly in…...

14+ min ago (494+ words) So far this offseason, the Boston Red Sox have made two additions to their starting rotation. They acquired Sonny Gray from the St. Louis Cardinals and Johan Oviedo from the Pittsburgh Pirates. They need more arms behind ace Garrett Crochet at the top of their rotation. In free agency, Dylan Cease of the San Diego Padres landed with the Toronto Blue Jays, and Framber Valdez is still available. Boston is not expected to be in the market for him. There is one other free agent arm that is being coveted, and that is former Padres right-hander Michael King. According to Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe, the Red Sox are in the mix for him and one of three teams he's considering. According to Abraham, the Red Sox, New York Yankees, and Baltimore Orioles are the three teams he's considering....

18+ min ago (335+ words) Chris Rodriguez Jr. shaped up with a great matchup for Week 15. Fantasy football managers relying on him in their playoffs, or the final week of their regular season, were ready to get some solid points out of the Washington Commanders' RB against the New York Giants. And then the reporting came out Saturday night that Rodriguez is iffy. ESPN's Adam Schefter wrote this on X: "Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a groin injury, plans to test his injury in pre-game warmups to see if he can" MORE:Why Colts starting Philip Rivers is fun and doesn't deserve any hate And yep, Schefter used that ellipsis himself. That doesn't bode well for Rodriguez. The powerful runner Rodriguez has taken over this backfield in recent weeks. If he plays, he's probably fine to trust in fantasy leagues....

20+ min ago (385+ words) According to Johnathan Vankin of Heavy.com, Alex Bregman is not receiving much interest from teams in the free agent market this year as well. Even the Detroit Tigers are not keen on signing him as they were in the past offseason when they reportedly made a six-year, $171.5 million offer. The three-time All-Star may have to settle for less money than what he received in 2025 after all. "But the market for Bregman's services, at least so far, with two weeks to go before Christmas and about two months until, appears even softer than last offseason. The Tigers were thought to be Bregman's main suitors outside of Boston, but at least so far, they have not taken steps to be seen as serious contenders for the 5-foot-11 third baseman," Vankin wrote. Bregman had a solid season for his new team after…...

22+ min ago (232+ words) The Detroit Tigers have agreed to a one-year contract with veteran closer Kenley Jansen, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan. The deal, which is pending a physical, also includes a club option for 2027, a source told Passan. Jansen, 38, is Major League Baseball's active saves leader with 476 saves over his 16-year career. The right-hander is two saves away from tying Hall of Famer Lee Smith for third on MLB's all-time saves list. Jansen joins a Tigers bullpen that has operated without a designated closer under manager A.J. Hinch. Will Vest led Detroit with 23 saves last season before ceding save opportunities late in the season to Kyle Finnegan, who joined the Tigers in a midseason trade with the Nationals. Jansen went 5-4 with a 2.59 ERA and converted 29 of 30 save opportunities in 62 appearances last season with the Angels. After a strong finish to the season -- he…...

35+ min ago (985+ words) Proving yet again that nobody combines excitement and entertainment like these guys, this week the Dodgers made baseball's most important winter deal. They acquired Timmy Trumpet. In real life he's an Australian impresario who, surprise, plays the trumpet. But in the breathtaking world of ninth-inning baseball, he's the game's most popular soundtrack. It is Timmy Trumpet who plays the chillingly inspiring solo from "Narco" that accompanies closer Edwin D'az from the bullpen to the mound. For the seven seasons D'az played for the New York Mets, it was the coolest entrance song in the big leagues, creating the most intimidating scene in any ballpark anywhere. And now it's coming to Dodger Stadium, as the Dodgers and D'az agreed this week to a three-year, $69-million contract that will include Timmy Trumpet rattling the bejeezus out of visiting teams who must be…...

37+ min ago (431+ words) While Mets fans may still be in shock over Pete Alonso's departure from the Mets to the Orioles last week in a five-year, $155 free-agent deal, Buck Showalter " who knows both Alonso and Baltimore well " is confident the first baseman will do well in his new home. "That's a good fit for Pete, a really good fit," Showalter said by phone. "Pete will get Baltimore and the fans in Baltimore will get Pete. If I was gonna pick a place, other than Queens, for him, Baltimore would be high on the list." Showalter managed Alonso with the Mets in 2022 and "23 and spent nine years in Baltimore from 2010-18, and is confident the different atmosphere will suit Alonso. "They're not mean," Showalter said of Baltimore fans. "They just want to see the Orioles do well and they get behind a good team. They're…...

56+ min ago (593+ words) You will have to excuse Mets fans if they have not stopped sharpening their pitchforks and lighting their torches after David Stearns went out and signed infielder Jorge Polanco to a two-year, $40 million deal on Saturday." New York's president of baseball operations effectively brought in a career second baseman, coming off one of the best offensive seasons of his career with 26 home runs and an .813 OPS, to replace franchise home run king Pete Alonso, who flocked to Baltimore for a five-year, $155 million deal with the Orioles." The Mets never extended an offer to Alonso, while Polanco has made just a single MLB appearance at first base and never recorded a chance. That does not jive with Stearns' philosophy of improving team defense. Maybe they see something that not many others do with Polanco's defense. Perhaps preaching run prevention is just…...
