As of today, the team has settled with all of those players, coming to terms on their 2026 contracts and avoiding arbitration hearings. The salaries are as follows, with their 2025 […]
The Atlanta Braves made a habit out of claiming players off of waivers during the regular season (for obvious reasons) and early on in the offseason as well. There was a bit of a lull (which has spread across most of baseball) but that’s changed today. Earlier this afternoon, the Braves made a move to […]

After the break, in our transaction corner, Brett and I talk about the various free-agent bats still available, specific...

Now that the Cubs have finally added their (potential) impact starting pitcher in Edward Cabrera, the obvious question emerges: What’s next for Jed Hoyer and the Cubs? Seeing as the rotation is deep, the bullpen has been (mostly) remade, Owen Caissie was dealt, and Cabrera is set to earn only ~$3.7M in 2026, an even more obvious answer emerges: GO SPEND SOME MONEY ON A BAT. In an article at The Athletic earlier this morning (and then later on his podcast), Ken Rosenthal put the same ...
Rutgers has landed an all-AAC Linebacker in the transfer portal, as former Rice linebacker Ty Morris has decided to commit to the Scarlet Knights.
