just now (188+ words) Since being traded to the Boston Red Sox, starting pitcher Sonny Gray has made himself clear regarding his time with the New York Yankees. Gray, who was previously an All-Star with the Oakland Athletics before arriving in New York, had a miserable season and a half in the Bronx, pitching to a 15-16 record with a 4.51 ERA while donning the pinstripes. Cashman explained at the Winter Meetings that encounter he had with Gray around the 2018 trade deadline. "He said, 'I thought you were going to trade me," Cashman said. "I was like, publicly I'm out trying to get pitching, starting pitching and bullpen. Now a member of the Red Sox, Gray could potentially be pitching with a chip on his shoulder this season as a new ripple in the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry has now come about. Winter Meetings may force Yankees…...

3+ min ago (457+ words) The Major League Baseball Winter Meetings are well underway, and in the first 24 hours or so, we haven't seen much action. It's time to will that action into exsistence. Based on rumors, active goings-on, and educated hunches, we'll proceed from here to predict three major signings that will take place before the proceedings in Orlando conclude on Wednesday evening. The Pittsburgh Pirates reportedly made a four-year offer to Schwarber sometime in recent days, and when free agents are actively talking about dollars and cents, that's often a sign that the sweepstakes are somewhat close to ending. But with all due respect to the Pirates, that report did nothing to move our projection models. It's always made the most sense that Schwarber would return to Philadelphia. He was already making $20 million per year there, so bringing him back is easier to…...

15+ min ago (154+ words) The Mets should be pleased that two of baseball's best boppers in Pete Alonso and Kyle Schwarber remain on the board. However, it's also a near necessity they come away with one of the two. ORLANDO, Fla. " Pete Alonso, the beloved all-time Mets home run hitter, was expected to drive over from his Tampa home to meet with the Red Sox, Orioles and other teams, as The Post's Mike Puma reported." Meantime, in a juicy bit of intrigue, the Mets were checking on the Phillies' coveted, All-Star home run hitter Kyle Schwarber. These questions now must be asked: Could we possibly see a superstar shake-up? Could the Mets be left without the power hitter they need?

23+ min ago (411+ words) The MLB winter meetings are currently taking place in Orlando, Fla. Various different managers, executives and organizational leaders from around the league are present at the JW Marriott hotel.

25+ min ago (550+ words) The Toronto Blue Jays signed free-agent closer Jeff Hoffman prior to the 2024 season, granting him a three-year, $33 million contract. They got pretty much what they hoped out of Hoffman, who had been Toronto's first-round draft pick, ninth overall, in 2014, only to be traded a year later before ever putting on a Toronto uniform. Hoffman pitched 68 innings over 71 games for the Blue Jays, recording the final out in a league-leading 59 of them, and was credited with a save 33 times. But Hoffman was also charged with seven blown saves, and the defending American League champions apparently believe they can do better. The Blue Jays are widely reported to be on the hunt for bullpen upgrades at baseball's annual Winter Meetings in Orlando, Florida, this week.

31+ min ago (695+ words) Admitting participation by Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki in the World Baseball Classic is "very delicate" following a World Series that stretched into November, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts isn't sure whether any limits will be placed on his team's Japanese stars. Ohtani had elbow surgery in September 2023 and returned to the mound in June. The two-way sensation helped the Dodgers become the first repeat World Series champion in a quarter century, starting the Game 7 win over Toronto. "I would like to think that it's going to be a dialogue as far as restrictions and limitations, in the sense of just trying to give them the opportunity," Roberts said Monday at baseball's winter meetings. "They've come off some stuff, some long seasons, and certainly with Yamamoto and looking out for 2026. But right now there's no more clarity…...
