Peralta Seeking “Seven Or Eight” Years In Extension Talks The Mets paid a fairly significant prospect price to acquire ace Freddy Peralta from Milwaukee in January. A bargain $8MM salary was a big part of his trade value. The Mets surely have some interest in keeping the impending free agent in Queens at what would be significantly higher prices beyond this year. Although Peralta […]

Mets Notes: Baty, Lindor, Scott, Minter, Stock The Mets’ offseason signing of Bo Bichette displaced third baseman Brett Baty, and he’ll now take on a super utility role in Queens, MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo reports. Baty is seeing work in the outfield and at first base this spring. His experience at the hot corner and at second base makes him a viable option […]

Offseason In Review: Milwaukee Brewers The Brewers retained one of their top starters on the qualifying offer. They traded their other veteran ace as he enters his walk year. Milwaukee was active as ever on the trade market — many of which were forward-looking moves — but they’ll expect to compete for another NL Central title. Major League Signings RHP Brandon […]

Offseason In Review: New York Yankees The Yankees mostly opted for the status quo, as their 2026 club will look a lot like the 2025 version. A few small differences could take them up a notch. Major League Signings OF Cody Bellinger: Five years, $162.5MM (includes opt-outs after 2027 and 2028, $20MM signing bonus) OF Trent Grisham: One year, $22.025MM (accepted […]

Red Sox’s Vinny Nittoli Facing Elbow Surgery Red Sox reliever Vinny Nittoli is weighing Tommy John or internal brace surgery, reports Tim Healey of The Boston Globe. The righty has been diagnosed with ligament damage in his elbow and is seemingly headed for a season-ending operation. Nittoli is in camp as a non-roster invitee after signing a minor league contract last month. He […]

Orioles Believed To Have Made Nine-Figure Offer To Ranger Suárez The Orioles were among the teams most frequently tied to Ranger Suárez before the southpaw signed a five-year deal with the Red Sox. He commanded a $130MM guarantee to slot behind Garrett Crochet in the Boston rotation. Baltimore was seemingly in a similar range. Jon Heyman of The New York Post reports that the Orioles are […]

Where Can The Orioles Find A Ryan Mountcastle Trade? The Orioles' decision to tender Ryan Mountcastle an arbitration contract was surprising in November. The already odd fit became all the more so when the O's signed Pete Alonso to a five-year deal at the Winter Meetings. Mountcastle hasn't had a real path to playing time since that signing, yet he remains on Baltimore's roster. An […]

Offseason In Review: Cleveland Guardians Spring training is here, but it’s not clear the Guardians ever got the memo that the offseason began. Despite winning the AL Central in 2025, they made practically no additions and will enter the year with one of their lowest team payrolls — if not the lowest — in more than a decade. Major League […]

Offseason In Review: San Francisco Giants The Giants checked a few boxes this offseason, adding a pair of back-end starting pitchers and everyday players at second base and in the outfield. Their biggest splash might be in the manager’s office, as they stayed away from the top of the free agent market. Major League Signings RHP Adrian Houser: Two years, $22MM (including […]

Dodgers Outright Jack Suwinski The Dodgers sent Jack Suwinski outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City, as first reflected on the MLB.com transaction log. The team had not previously designated Suwinski for assignment, so this drops their 40-man roster tally to 39. Los Angeles claimed the lefty-hitting outfielder off waivers from Pittsburgh last month. They assumed his $1.25MM salary and an […]

How Could The Braves Pivot Following Another Profar Suspension? The Braves opened camp in 2026 hoping for a full season from outfielder/designated hitter Jurickson Profar. He'd missed 80 games in 2025 following a PED suspension but was productive upon returning. With designated hitter Marcell Ozuna out the door, Profar and newly signed outfielder Mike Yastrzemski had plenty of runway to frequent playing time. Of […]
