Will Paul Toboni and the Washington Nationals make any noise at the GM Meetings?
The Washington Nationals’ new President of Baseball Operations, Paul Toboni, enters the MLB GM Meetings in Las Vegas amid a looming December lockout that could force teams to act quickly. Insider Jon Morosi says trade talks are unusually advanced, hinting at possible deals before the lockout, especially for high‑profile free agents like Tarik Skubal, Randy Arozarena and Seiya Suzuki. Toboni’s next moves—whether to trade CJ Abrams or retain core pieces after a strong 2026 season—could shape the Nats’ trajectory.

MLB rumors: Jon Heyman urges Yankees to trade for Corey Seager, but there’s a ‘twist’
Yankees insider Jon Heyman suggests a bold offseason move: trade for Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager and shift him to third base. With New York’s third‑base options limited and Ryan McMahon’s production declining, the Bombers need an offensive boost after consecutive ALDS exits. Heyman notes the “twist” of converting Seager, recalling the A‑Rod-to‑third switch, and points to emerging shortstop George Lombard Jr. as a potential long‑term solution. If the Yankees pull off the deal, it could strengthen their infield and revive hopes for a 28th World Series title.
