Four hypothetical Dejounte Murray trade destinations for Pelicans to consider

The Phoenix Suns could swap Murray for Jalen Green, saving money but keeping a high‑priced guard. Golden State might package Kristaps Porzingis (only $3 M guaranteed) and possibly Moses Moody to fill Stephen Curry’s void. Detroit could send John Collins and Kevin Huerter to pair Murray with Cade Cunningham, though both are trade‑restricted until Dec. 15.

Yankees news: Odds and ends from the GM meetings

As the GM meetings wrap up, the Yankees reveal several low‑key moves. Top prospect Jasson Domínguez will play winter ball in the Dominican Republic, casting doubt on his near‑future with New York. The club is also eyeing a reunion with reliever Tim Hill and still views Carlos Lagrange as a future starter.

Dodgers Insider Reveals Japan Trip for 18-Year-Old Pitcher Can Change LA’s Bad Luck

The Los Angeles Dodgers have traveled to Yokohama to meet 18‑year‑old right‑hander Shoki Oda, a high‑school pitcher who can touch 97 mph and boasts a full secondary mix.

Oda, drafted first overall by the Yomiuri Giants in the 2026 NPB Draft, prefers the Dodgers and may skip NPB for MLB, though a looming collective‑bargaining‑agreement expiration and potential lockout could force a college route. Signing Oda would reinforce LA’s reputation as the premier destination for Japanese talent and help erase the club’s 2026 postseason disappointment.
