16+ hour, 31+ min ago (268+ words) Despite an offseason of good moves this summer, the Washington Wizards did not get good. Nor did they get anywhere near it. One fifth of the way through the 2025-26 NBA season, and they are stone cold last. Anchored to a 1-15 record that is on pace to make the wrong sort of history, and on a 14-game losing streak that is a tough watch for even the most loyal fan. Worse even than Jordan Poole's 2-15 New Orleans Pelicans, somehow. The whole point of bottoming out, though, is to find some hope for the future. And the player that is their most prized asset is making the kind of strides that offer a flicker of hope. The Washington Wizards Keep Making.Good Moves? Really? On the season to date, Sarr's scoring average is up to 18.4 points per game, and his efficiency has…...

16+ hour, 40+ min ago (416+ words) The New York Yankees, as is the case pretty much every offseason, are under a magnifying glass once again, as they continue their quest to win a World Series for the first time since 2009. More MLB on Heavy: BREAKING: Mets Acquiring Rangers" Marcus Semien in Blockbuster Trade In a recent 2026 Opening Day lineup predictions story, Bleacher Report"s Joel Reuter predicts that Ha-Seong Kim will be the Yankees" Opening Day shortstop and slot in as the No. 9 hitter: "With Anthony Volpe expected to miss the start of the season while he recovers from shoulder surgery, the Yankees could explore an outside addition like Ha-Seong Kim, or they could go with speedy Jos" Caballero as the everyday guy until he returns."

18+ hour, 23+ min ago (647+ words) The New York Yankees are expected to pursue some pitching help this offseason, and the rotation will be a focus. The Yankees will begin the 2026 MLB season with Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodon injured, so New York will likely look to add a starter or two. MLB insider Jim Bowden of The Athletic proposed a blockbuster deal that would see the Yankees acquire Freddy Peralta from the Milwaukee Brewers. The three-player deal would be a blockbuster and one that makes sense for both teams. The Yankees upgrade their rotation while the Brewers get some cost-controllable players. New York would acquire Peralta, who had his club option picked up for $8 million, and will be a free agent at the end of the year, which is why his name has come up in trade rumors. Peralta is a solid No. 3 starter who…...

16+ hour, 51+ min ago (567+ words) The Philadelphia Phillies are expected to be major players in free agency this winter. Team management is looking to shake up its roster, despite previously winning the National League East by 13 games in 2025. Re-signing slugger Kyle Schwarber remains the club's top priority. However, the team's president of baseball operations, Dave Dombrowski, is also looking to make other big splashes. Current Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm has been linked with a trade away from the club since early November. If he is moved, Philadelphia will need to find a suitable replacement. Signing Alex Bregman is likely the team's preferred option. Nevertheless, several teams are currently chasing the infielder, and the Phillies may miss out on grabbing the former Astro. If this is the case, Philadelphia could turn its attention to Munetaka Murakami. CBS Sports reporter Mike Axisa has claimed that the…...

16+ hour, 14+ min ago (692+ words) The New York Yankees have some work to do this offseason. So far this offseason, they have signed Trent Grisham, in addition to making decisions on tendered and non-tendered players. What remains is finding multiple new pitchers (both starting and bullpen) in addition to bringing back Cody Bellinger. Another big question is how hard they will pursue free agent ace Tatsuya Imai. The Yankees have reported interest in the pitcher. However, because other teams are also interested, they will need to act quickly to secure the unique ace or risk gambling away their opportunity. ClutchPoints recently ran a piece revealing some of the top clubs poking around Imai to see if there is a fit. According to Mike Gianakos, there could be at least four teams interested in the NPB pitcher. "Imai is sure to draw significant interest during the…...

23+ hour, 11+ min ago (444+ words) The Athletic reported on November 23 that the New York Mets reached an agreement to send outfielder Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers in exchange for second baseman Marcus Semien. Moreover, the report claims that the move hinged on Nimmo agreeing to waive his no-trade clause, which he ultimately approved. MLB still needs to authorize the deal because it includes more than $1 million going to the Rangers, though that step is expected to be routine. Jon Heyman of the New York Post appeared on MLB Network to share his thoughts on the trade. "I'm sure Mets fans are disappointed," Heymand said on November 23. "They love Brandon Nimmo, love throughout the organization, but there probably is no room for emotion after the season in which the Mets had, winning 83 games, failing to beat out the small market, Cincinnati Reds, for that final…...

Despite winning the World Series in back-to-back seasons, the Dodgers' front office remains stubborn in its pursuit of continuing to improve the roster. More MLB on Heavy: Dodgers Predicted to Sign 2-Time All-Star Pitcher in Free Agency GettyWilyer Abreu of the Boston Red Sox makes a sliding catch. More MLB on Heavy: Should the Braves Target this Reds' 4.03 ERA Starter in Trade to Bolster Starting Rotation? Wilyer Abreu should be at the top of the Dodgers' trade wish list. First off, he would clear the need for a left fielder and fill the spot of Conforto, who is very unlikely to be re-signed. Abreu is also a strong defensive presence. He's won two Gold Gloves and is coming into…...

5+ hour, 15+ min ago (582+ words) Brandon Woodruff, the Brewers" stalwart right-hander, has decided to accept the team"s qualifying offer and return to Milwaukee for the 2026 season. The one'year deal is valued at approximately $22.025 million. This may not seem like a massive long'term commitment, but for a pitcher coming off shoulder surgery and a late-season lat strain, and for a franchise determined to remain competitive, the decision carries significant weight.

"It was an easy decision to take the qualifying offer, which I was extremely happy to do, and come back to somewhere I"m extremely comfortable. I"m pumped up."

While they were expected to bounce back after a disappointing 2024-25, the team is now in even worse shape. The Rangers currently sit at the bottom of the Metropolitan Division with just 22 points in 23 games. New York's issues have been compounded lately due to injuries to multiple star players. J.T. Miller last played on November 20, two days after he was criticized for a lack of effort against the Las Vegas Golden Knights. The forward has now been ruled out of a November 24 matchup with the St. Louis Blues. It remains to be seen how much more time the Rangers will be without their captain. Along with Miller, New York is set to be without Jonathan Quick for the game against the Blues as well. Quick, 39, suffered a lower-body injury during…...
