43+ min ago (558+ words) Posted December 8, 2025 6:01 am. George Springer's three-run homer in the seventh inning of Game 7 of the AL Championship series against the Seattle Mariners is a moment that will live forever in Blue Jays lore, right up there with Joe Carter's World Series home run and Jose Bautista's bat flip. Eight-year-old Michael Gomes was in the crowd at Rogers Centre on the night of Oct. 20 after winning tickets through the Rogers Beyond The Seat giveaway. But Gomes missed the euphoric home run that pushed the Blue Jays into the World Series after falling ill. He ended up watching the end of the game from a hospital bed at SickKids hospital. The last 18 months have been tough for Gomes. He's been living in and out of the hospital with a still-undiagnosed'illness. Once a competitor in high-level gymnastics, he now uses a wheelchair. "When a…...

43+ min ago (1045+ words) Pittsburgh Pirates president Travis Williams promised that there are resources to "add aggressively" this offseason, so the big story at the start of the MLB Winter Meetings is whether they'll be serious spenders. While skeptics are smart to take a wait-and-see approach, a report by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic on Sunday night that the Pirates have extended a four-year contract offer that "almost certainly is for more than $100 million" was sure to raise eyebrows. Rosenthal warned that the Pirates remain a "long shot" to sign Schwarber, but it's a big swing. The slugger has 187 home runs in four seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies and led the National League with 56 homers and MLB with 132 RBIs " both career bests " last season. Another issue is how they plan to use Schwarber, who turns 33 in March and served as designated hitter in 154 of…...

44+ min ago (363+ words) In hindsight, the Los Angeles Dodgers have to be happy with how they've allocated a top-tier payroll in recent seasons. The team broke a Major League Baseball record with its contract for two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani and he has been central to their consecutive World Series championships. And another record-breaking deal has paid off as well. Shortly after signing Ohtani, the Dodgers agreed to a 12-year, $325 million deal for Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the largest ever contract for a player coming straight from the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) league. At the time, that was seen by many as a significant risk, including former Dodgers outfielder Josh Reddick. "How do you give a guy $325 million without ever throwing a pitch in MLB," Reddick asked on X, formerly Twitter, shortly after news of the deal was published. Since then, though, Yamamoto has…...

1+ hour, 14+ min ago (612+ words) Dec 8, 2025 | 5:30 AM EST It certainly looks like the Yankees" rough offseason is far from over. If you remember, we"ve already talked about how their capped payroll has basically taken them out of the running for stars like Cody Bellinger or Kyle Tucker. And as Hal Steinbrenner has openly said, the team is trying to stay under a $300 million budget. Thus, chasing those high-priced names feels even more unrealistic. As MLB insider Buster Olney put it, with their 2026 payroll already projected around $213 million, the Yankees just don"t look like big spenders this winter. But the twist? The Cubs are reportedly stepping in and doubling down on the very players the Yankees are still eyeing. A move that could shut the door on the Bombers" offseason hopes altogether. "It will be an active offseason," The Athletic quoted Cubs" owner Jed…...

After his arrival for Major League Baseball's winter meetings, the longtime New York Yankees general manager was asked about Gray, who was acquired by the Boston Red Sox in a trade from the St. Louis Cardinals last month.
