9+ min ago (153+ words) DETROIT " He said all along that he wanted to do it. The only issue was how it might impact his spring preparation going into his final season before he hits free agency. Tigers ace lefty Tarik Skubal has agreed to pitch for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic this spring. "Honored to be given the opportunity to represent my country and share the room with all the other talented guys," Skubal said in a text message Thursday night. "Can't wait to share this experience with all the other guys." The two-time Cy Young winner joins a pitching staff that so far includes Paul Skenes, Joe Ryan, Nolan McLean, Clay Holmes and Mason Miller. Team USA announced the news Thursday morning. The World Baseball Classic will take place in multiple sites from March 5 through March 17. Team USA is in Pool…...

15+ min ago (351+ words) The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to watch the market to see how things play out. They already landed pitcher Edwin Diaz, but there are more big-name players available. Chicago Cubs free agent Kyle Tucker appears to be atop the wish list, while Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal is another player they covet. One player who isn't getting talked about as much for the Dodgers is Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte. He's a three-time All-Star, and Arizona is considering trading him. According to The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya, the Dodgers would be very happy to add a player like Marte, but it's just not going to happen due to NL West rivalries. "Maybe, in the Rockies' case, that could shift. After all, former Dodgers front office member Josh Byrnes is Colorado's general manager." Marte is getting a bit older at 32, but…...

19+ min ago (474+ words) Len Redkoles/NHLI via Getty Images It goes without saying that you need to choose your words carefully when you make a living as a sports broadcaster. Plenty of people in that line of work have fallen victim to a dreaded hot mic at some point in their career, and the man who provides play-by-play coverage for Flyers games on the radio was treated to a two-game suspension after becoming the latest member of that club. People in that line of work are primarily tasked with immediately identifying players on both teams while keeping track of an incredibly high-speed game, and they have to balance those duties with obligatory sponsorship plugs and banter with a color commentator on a broadcast where millions of people have the potential to notice you've screwed up. Tim Saunders has spent close to three decades…...

21+ min ago (720+ words) This may be a hint of what's really at stake as baseball's owners and its Players Association prepare to battle over a new collective bargaining agreement. Remember the immediate aftermath of the classic Dodgers-Toronto Blue Jays World Series last month? Large numbers of people posting social media messages about baseball, and about that Series, many of which seemed to be people who either had rekindled their interest in the sport or had been drawn in by the drama of the postseason. Flash forward, a month later, to what I posted Tuesday evening on Threads: "Nine days before Christmas, and people are still talking about how they miss baseball. You are my people, regardless of which team you root for." As of Friday morning that post had more than 8,200 views, 880 likes, 36 comments and 18 reposts. " " The point isn't to brag but to…...

40+ min ago (249+ words) Don't expect a dip in the Mets payroll for next season. Team owner Steve Cohen expressed that sentiment Friday, responding to an internet aggregator who misinterpreted information reported by The Post. "As typical, the usual idiots misinterpreting a Post article on Mets payroll for '26," Cohen wrote on X. "I can't imagine our payroll to be lower than last year. It's always hard to predict, but that would be my best guess." The Post reported the Mets calculate their payroll as standing at $310 million to $320 million with multiple holes remaining, with it almost certain the team wouldn't surge into the Dodgers' stratosphere of $400 million. Spotrac pegged the Mets' payroll for last season at $341.7 million, which ranked only behind the Dodgers in MLB. The Mets this offseason have traded Brandon Nimmo and watched Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz depart through free agency. But…...

44+ min ago (398+ words) The Philadelphia Flyers have issued an apology and announced they've suspended play-by-play voice Tim Saunders for a remark he made on their radio broadcast. During the third period of Thursday Night's Flyers game against the Buffalo Sabres, Saunders threw the 97.5 The Fanatic radio broadcast to a commercial break during a TV timeout. Saunders seemingly believed the broadcast was safely off-air and in its commercial break, which is why, after a brief pause, he was willing to say, "While you're down there, would you mind blowing me?" " wandreezy (@wandrejose) December 19, 2025 Unfortunately for Saunders, his'mic was hot, and they were not off-air everywhere, as his broadcast partner, Todd Fedoruk, immediately informed him. "I think we're still on the air, Tim," Fedoruk said before a fit of laughter. "No, we're not, are we?" Saunders asked before another pause and some more laughter. "Are…...

44+ min ago (996+ words) Luke Weaver's defection to the Mets this week might've created the impression of a secret pipeline between Flushing and the Bronx, but please, let's lighten up on the conspiracy theories. OK, so Juan Soto, Clay Holmes and Devin Williams all joined the Mets. But in Weaver's case, the crosstown traffic was just a coincidence. More importantly, it wasn't a surprise to see the reliever leave. Weaver's relationship with the Yankees in 2025 cooled considerably from its peak in 2024. By the time the former closer hit free agency in November, he was already a goner in the Bronx. The front office encouraged Weaver to gauge his value on the open market. But the Yankees never made an offer. They believed Weaver's value had been diminished through a drop-off in his 2025 performance when he posted a 3.62 ERA compared to 2.89 in 2024. Weaver took the…...
