3+ min ago (492+ words) The Detroit Tigers are receiving a lot of interest this offseason, with teams eyeing Tarik Skubal for a potential blockbuster trade. While Detroit isn't likely to move him, a trade can't be completely written off. Of course, if the Tigers do trade Skubal, it would come with a massive return package. Whether it's multiple top prospects, MLB-ready pitching, or other elite talent, the Tigers won't accept anything less than a king's ransom for Skubal. For USA Today MLB insider Bob Nightengale, a Skubal trade is possible even with such a high price tag, taking most teams out of the market. While Skubal won't accept an extension before hitting free agency, Nightengale does propose one scenario in which he does accept a new deal. "The trouble is that the price tag will be enormous for only one year of service, unless…...

3+ min ago (213+ words) The Detroit Tigers have several needs during the 2025 MLB offseason, and one of them is a strong closer. While Will Vest and Kyle Finnegan performed well in 2025, Detroit needs a reliable star to make the back end of its bullpen scary. With the winter meetings coming soon, the Tigers have been linked to a former Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher. According to MLB Network's Jon Morosi, the Tigers are interested in signing former Rays closer Pete Fairbanks in free agency. Fairbanks has spent the last three seasons as Tampa Bay's closer with tremendous success. In 2025, the 31-year-old closer had 25 saves with a 2.83 ERA. Fairbanks would certainly become the Tigers' new closer as the organization looks to maximize its playoff window with Tarik Skubal. Detroit desperately needs a closer with an elite swing-and-miss arsenal, and his slider is above league average…...

4+ min ago (310+ words) The Los Angeles Dodgers might as well get even better. Why not? What's the good of back to back World Series titles if you don't three-peat? That might certainly be how the rest of baseball is feeling about things, but L.A. is certainly all over the rumor mill this offseason as a team looking to take more steps forward. One of the new rumors involves St. Louis Cardinals left-handed hitter Brendan Donovan, who can play second base, third base or left field and is coming off a season in which he batted .287. ESPN's Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel list the Dodgers as the top possible landing spot for Donovan in a trade.

13+ min ago (169+ words) Dec. 2Among those diehard tailgaters at Saturday's football game at Gies Memorial Stadium: Illini cheerleaders and their parents, who weren't about to call off their final pregame party of the season. With food delivered and Grange Grove basically to themselves, the crew carried on in the snow and wind. "It was definitely eerie walking up and having it be so silent," UI coach Stephanie Record said. "But we wanted to make sure it was special for the seniors." The cheerleaders tailgate next-door to Central Illinois Multimedia Group's setup in Grange Grove. With our pregame party canceled, we made available the giant tent to the Illini, who said "having a warm, comfortable space allowed us to share quality time together and celebrate our seniors. Your kindness made the day even more memorable!" The eight seniors who had their banners hung in our…...

28+ min ago (218+ words) After a number of surprising departures and the uncertainty around Joe Jimenez, the Braves' bullpen is looking surprisingly vulnerable at the moment even with bringing Iglesias back. To provide some added depth, Atlanta just signed old friend Danny Young to a split contract for 2026. The problem is that while this is a reunion with a reliever that has some upside, he isn't likely to be available soon since he had Tommy John surgery last May. The #Braves today signed LHP Danny Young to a one-year, split contract for the 2026 season. In going after Young as an arm who has played for the organization before, the Braves are planning ahead here. Any pitcher coming off TJS is a risk, but a split contract is essentially nothing when it comes to payroll and Atlanta laying their claim now could pay off massively…...

Doctors removed Schmitt's carpal boss " the bony lump on the back of the wrist near the base of the middle or index finger " the team announced Tuesday morning. The team said the procedure typically takes 8-10 weeks of recovery. Giants camp is expected to open the second week of February in Scottsdale, Arizona.

38+ min ago (493+ words) The St. Louis Cardinals are in a serious rebuilding phase under new president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom, while Bloom's previous club, the Boston Red Sox, are looking to improve their roster " the starting rotation " especially under third'year Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow. The two organizations found their interests coming together last week when the Red Sox sent pitching prospect Brandon Clarke and 25'year-old righty Richard Fitts to St. Louis, getting 13'year veteran and three'time All'Star Sonny Gray in return. Pete Alonso Rumors: Red Sox Ready "Monster' Offer For Free Agent Slugger With ace Garrett Crochet and homegrown fifth'year starter Brayan Bello, the Red Sox now appear to have solidified the top three spots in their rotation, though Breslow has not closed the door on acquiring another frontline starter. Either way, the Red Sox introduced their newest starter to the…...

41+ min ago (172+ words) ATLANTA -- Danny Young will attempt to strengthen Atlanta's bullpen depth once he recovers from Tommy John surgery. The Braves announced they signed Young to a split contract on Tuesday morning. The 31-year-old left-handed reliever underwent the elbow procedure in May. With recovery usually requiring 12-18 months, it's unknown when he would be available to pitch. A split contract is a non-guaranteed deal that defines how much money a player will receive while in the Majors and when pitching at the Minor League level. Young has produced a 4.01 ERA while constructing a 29 percent strikeout rate and a 9.3 percent walk rate over 63 career appearances (60 2/3 innings). The southpaw made a career-high 42 appearances for the Mets in 2024 and 10 more before being shut down this past season. New York non-tendered him last month. The Braves have some familiarity with Young. He was in the organization in…...
