1+ hour, 40+ min ago (594+ words) Last year when two-time World Series winner Alex Bregman declared free agency after his five-year, $100 million contract extension with the Houston Astros expired, he probably did not expect to be waiting until spring training to sign a contract with a new team. The Detroit Tigers made a generous offer to the second overall pick in the 2015 MLB draft, out of LSU, but apparently six years and $171.5 million " an average annual value of about $28.6 million " was not enough for Bregman. In the end, however, he did actually settle for less " less in terms of the longevity of the contract, anyway. Three days after the start of spring training, Bregman accepted an offer from the Boston Red Sox of only three years, but at a total paycheck of $120 million. He also spurned an offer from the Chicago Cubs for the same dollar…...

The decision has sharpened questions about where Diggs stands within the organization and added another layer of intrigue to a season defined by injuries, uneven results, and a relationship that appears increasingly strained. Diggs, who has not played since Week 6 of the 2025 season, had been practicing and was in the late stages of his 21-day injured reserve window, but Cowboys officials chose not to elevate him to the 53-man roster this weekend. That means he'll sit out…...

2+ hour, 23+ min ago (429+ words) Another free-agent bat came off the board on Saturday, and the Boston Red Sox still have yet to make their move. Jorge Polanco, who had a fantastic offensive season as a second baseman/designated hitter with the Seattle Mariners, wound up signing with the New York Mets on a reported two-year, $40 million deal. Will Sammon of The Athletic was first with the news of the agreement. Boston had been linked to Polanco fairly consistently, and it made sense as an offensive fit. There's no doubt Alex Cora would have loved to have a switch-hitter in his lineup to juggle around. But ultimately, there were signs that Boston wasn't all that interested -- and those signs could be indicative of Boston's real plans. According to a Saturday report from Chris Cotillo of MassLive, the Red Sox never made an offer to Polanco,…...
