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. "For me, it became clear pretty early on," Woodruff said. "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." Woodruff had twelve days after receiving the qualifying offer to measure the market and consider his future. What tipped him over the edge: comfort and confidence. "Come on, that"s a large [salary] number and…...

1+ day, 4+ hour ago (258+ words) By Steve Adams | November 24, 2025 at 10:46am CDT The Marlins are among the teams that have shown interest in free-agent righty Michael King, per Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich of The Athletic. Miami has frequently been linked to prominent bullpen arms in the offseason's early stages as well, and the Fish are apparently planning to spend more heavily in free agency than in recent years (although that's a pretty low bar to clear). The Marlins are on the lookout for meaningful offensive upgrades, but the free agent market is generally thin on impact hitters this offseason. If the Fish instead choose to further deepen an organizational strength, they could use their stock of quality young arms to explore the trade market in search of more meaningful upgrades at the infield corners, designated hitter and/or in right field. King rejected a $22.025MM qualifying…...

1+ day, 15+ hour ago (391+ words) Would there be a better postseason rotation than one with a trio that features Tarik Skubal, Gerrit Cole, and Max Fried? There's an opportunity for the New York Yankees to make that happen if the Detroit Tigers do end up shopping their ace, as many have predicted. One person who believes the Yankees should pull the trigger on such a deal is Cameron Maybin, who played for the team in 2019 and had one of his most productive seasons at the plate that year. According to Maybin, it could be the best move for them to put the team over the top. "But imagine pairing him with a healthy Sandy Alcantara in the Bronx along with Fried, Cole, Rodon," Maybin added. "That is a playoff nightmare for every lineup in baseball. And I don't want to hear anything about payroll. This…...

Aubrey Huff, the slugger who finished his career with 242 home runs in 13 seasons and was a two-time World Series winner, is once again at the center of the discussion. And, it doesn't seem like a good one! Earlier this week, Aubrey Huff's social media presence stirred up another debate. A tweet appeared on his feed, depicting a late-night scene. The image showed a woman at a door in black attire, with the caption: "You hear a knock at your door at 2 am and this is what you see, do you let her in?" And guess who replied? The San Francisco slugger. This latest incident fits into a troubling pattern. Aubrey Huff's latest remark fits…...

2+ day, 12+ hour ago (296+ words) The Houston Astros had a good season this year, but still fell short in their division and in making the playoffs. Now, with their ace, Framber Valdez, potentially heading for the door, they need to find a replacement. Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer believes that the Astros could find a cost-effective stop-gap replacement in former Cy Young and two-time All-Star, Sandy Alcantara. MORE:Mets predicted to make blockbuster trade for $100 million two-time All-Star, Platinum Glove to create superstar outfield with Juan Soto This past season, Alcantara posted a record of 11-12, a 5.36 ERA, 142 Ks, and a WHIP of 1.271 over 172 innings pitched.
