Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Apologizes to Blue Jays Fans For Controversial Comments
The firestorm that he created with his outrageous comments earlier this week was just too much to bear. Now, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has faced the media—and the fans—to apologize for saying that his 14-year, $500M contract was rewarding him for what he's already done, not what he's going to do in the future. The outrage from fans and followers of baseball everywhere (and likely within the offices of the Rogers Centre) made it obvious that this needed to be addressed. Vladimir Guerrero Jr m...
Max Scherzer Teases Major Announcement About His Future
Max Scherzer isn't ready to say whether Wednesday was one of his final career starts, but he's made clear an answer is coming soon. The 42-year-old right-hander allowed four runs on four hits across five innings in a 4-2 loss to Baltimore, a game that officially eliminated the Toronto Blue Jays from postseason contention. Asked about his future afterward, Scherzer kept the door open without committing either way. "I'll probably say something here in the next couple days," he said. A Mi...
Ex-GM Blasts Guerrero Jr. For Outrageous Contract Comments
So what does an actual ex-major league baseball general manager feel about a player saying he was given a gargantuan long-term contract based on "past performance" only? Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s shocking comments in a Spanish-language interview that came out on Wednesday have the whole baseball world shaking its collective head. The Toronto Blue Jays' $500 Million Dollar Man said that he was given his 14-year extension "for what I already accomplished", not for what he was going to do over the ...
Phillies Could Make Stunning Manager Change After 78-51 Turnaround
Don Mattingly has done everything the Philadelphia Phillies could have asked of him since taking over as interim manager. According to new reporting, that might not be enough to keep his job. FanSided's Robert Murray reported that the industry increasingly believes Alex Cora will end up managing the Phillies in 2027. "The industry believes it's a matter of time before it happens," Murray wrote, while noting the situation could still shift, particularly if Mattingly leads Philadelph...
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Brushes Off Abysmal Season With Wild Claims
The Toronto Blue Jays were officially eliminated from playoff contention on Wednesday afternoon. Their extremely disappointing season can, more or less, be summed up in two words (well, two and a half): Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The $500 Million Dollar Man massively underperformed in the first year of that 14-year extension, with only nine home runs and a .695 OPS. But while he's disappointed and frustrated with his season, he gave a stunning comment to a Spanish-language outlet about his co...
Pirates Star Wants To Stay In Pittsburgh Ahead Of Free Agency
Brandon Lowe is heading toward free agency after a career-best season in Pittsburgh, and he's made it clear the door isn't closed on a return. Lowe told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Colin Beazley that the Pirates haven't approached him about an extension, but he's open to hearing them out. "I think this team's got a very bright future and a lot of good players, and there's a lot of good baseball that's going to be played in this park for a long time," Lowe said. "If they want to talk, I...
Red Sox Expected To Make Huge Offer To Randy Arozarena This Winter
The Boston Red Sox have already gotten an up-close look at what Randy Arozarena can do to their pitching staff this season. According to one insider, that might be exactly why they're about to try to sign him. Seattle Times beat writer Ryan Divish raised Boston as a landing spot for the Mariners outfielder during an appearance on Foul Territory. "They're losing their best hitter. Randy Arozarena is going to be a free agent," Divish said. "I think we all know Randy would probably pr...
Sonny Gray Could Land Massive Amount On Next Contract
We heard a shocking rumor earlier this month that Boston Red Sox ace Sonny Gray might actually retire after this, the best season of his career. But before the 36-year-old makes that call, he should consider this: If Sonny Gray doesn’t retire, some in the industry expect him to match or exceed the 3-year, $75 million deal the Rangers gave to Nathan Eovaldi after the 2024 season, per @ChrisCotillo . pic.twitter.com/alwihXe4Xa — Tyler Milliken (@tylermilliken_) September 17, 2026 Red Sox insider...
Aaron Judge's Postseason Availability Suddenly In Doubt
Aaron Judge finally got back on the field after missing three months. Less than two weeks later, he's already back on the injured list, and this time the timing could not be worse. A Setback Just Days After His Return The Yankees placed Judge on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain, a move made official Saturday but backdated to Thursday. It comes just 11 days after he returned from a stress fracture in his right rib that had sidelined him for roughly three months. Ju...
Free Agent Afterthought Now Set For Huge Payday This Offseason
As midseason rolled around, it looked like a top-of-the-rotation arm had cost himself many tens of millions of dollars on the free agent market this winter. Coming into the year, bracing for his first season with the New York Mets and going into a contract year, Freddy Peralta was refusing any advances by the Mets to sign an extension. The 30-year-old right-hander was reportedly seeking a 7-to-8-year commitment, and Mets GM David Stearns wasn't interested. Then Peralta went out and fell flat o...
Dodgers Expected To Trade Teoscar Hernandez This Offseason
Teoscar Hernandez has been part of two Dodgers championship runs. That history alone might not be enough to keep him in Los Angeles past this coming offseason. Ragazzo Names Him A Likely Trade Piece FanSided's Pat Ragazzo listed Hernandez among his likely offseason trade candidates, pointing to a mix of contract timing and organizational depth that makes this offseason different from past speculation around him. "Los Angeles Dodgers left fielder Teoscar Hernandez's name came up i...
One MLB Manager Nearly Guaranteed To Be Fired
It hasn't been the type of season that Seattle Mariners fans were hoping for. After falling one excruciating game short of getting to the World Series last fall, the team has massively disappointed this year, sitting at 72-82, and out of the postseason. That, according to Adam Jude in the Seattle Times , will likely cost manager Dan Wilson his job. There is real uncertainty about the state of the organization — about the coaching staff, the front office, the roster and the payroll budget...
Padres Could Make Surprising Move With Manny Machado
Manny Machado has been the heart of the Padres for nearly a decade. For the first time in a long time, there's a conversation starting about whether that's still true a year from now. Down Year Fuels New Ownership Speculation FanSided's Pat Ragazzo laid out the case in a piece published this week, arguing that San Diego's new ownership group will likely need to move on from one of its three largest contracts, Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr. or Xander Bogaerts, and that Machado is the most ...
Blue Jays DFA Former All-Star In Latest Roster Shuffle
The Toronto Blue Jays have shuffled their pitching staff once again, designating former All-Star Michael Lorenzen for assignment. The Blue Jays have designated Michael Lorenzen for assignment, the team announced. RHP José Rodríguez has been selected to the Major League roster. pic.twitter.com/qrX2TGCNKc — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) September 18, 2026 Lorenzen, who had been a starter the previous five years, struggled out of the bullpen for T oronto since joining the team in late August...
Guardians Could Trade Steven Kwan This Offseason
Cleveland has talked about trading Steven Kwan before and never pulled the trigger. This offseason might be different, and the calendar is the reason why. Feinsand Says This Could Be The Year MLB.com's Mark Feinsand named Kwan among 11 notable offseason trade candidates in a piece published September 10, and the reasoning is entirely because of timing. "The two-time All-Star has been dangled as a trade candidate in the past, and with only one year remaining until free agency and ...
Insiders Project Bo Bichette's Future: Will He Opt Out?
Will he or won't he? Bo Bichette was signed to an insane $42 million AAV three-year contract by the NY Mets last offseason. But after a mediocre year for the former star infielder, i t's genuinely a "coin flip" whether he exercises an opt-out, according to Jeff Passan. Bichette still has two remaining years at $42 million per season. It is a “genuine coin flip” if Bo Bichette will opt out of his deal with the Mets, per @JeffPassan “The Mets owe Bichette $84 million over the next two yea...
Yankees Surprisingly DFA Fan-Favorite Utilityman
The New York Yankees needed a roster spot, and they took it from a player who's been with the organization since he was a teenager. Schmidt's Return Forced The Move New York designated Oswaldo Cabrera for assignment to clear a 40-man spot for Clarke Schmidt, who was officially activated from the 60-day injured list after completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery. It had been 14 and a half months since Schmidt last pitched in a Major League game, and he wasted no time getting back...
Tommy Pham Demands To Be Activated By White Sox; Then Hits Go-Ahead Homer
There's really only one Tommy Pham. You'd have a hard time finding any other player in baseball that has been as bold and confident in his abilities as this guy. All he did in the last 24 hours was bump into his GM Chris Getz in an elevator Tuesday night and insist to him that he be activated off the injured list by the White Sox ASAP. Perhaps fearing what Pham might do to him otherwise, Getz activated the journeyman outfielder for today's game, and he was inserted into the clean up spot...
Former 27-HR Slugger Emerging As Mets Offseason Trade Candidate
It wasn't that long ago that Mark Vientos looked like a building block for the New York Mets . Now MLB.com is naming him as one of the more realistic trade chips in baseball heading into the offseason. From 27-Homer Breakout To Trade Bait Mark Feinsand included Vientos among his list of intriguing offseason trade candidates. Vientos broke out in 2024 with 27 home runs, 71 RBIs and an .837 OPS in just 111 games, numbers that made him a key piece of New York's run to the NLCS and had fan...
White Sox DFA Former World Series Winner
It's been a steep fall off a cliff since getting a World Series ring in 2022 for former top starter Jose Urquidy. The Chicago White Sox have designated Urquidy for assignment, his second DFA of 2026. Noah Schultz is back up, and the White Sox DFA’d Jose Urquidy in response — James Fegan (@JRFegan) September 15, 2026 Urquidy started the year with the Pittsburgh Pirates after missing almost the entire previous two seasons after Tommy John surgery. He was signed to a one-year, $1.5 mi...
Red Sox Could Finally Trade Former All-Star This Winter
Boston has flirted with trading Jarren Duran for two offseasons running and backed off both times. This winter might be different. Poster Child For Change Of Scenery MLB.com's Mark Feinsand named Duran on his list of offseason trade candidates. Feinsand called him the "poster child" for change-of-scenery players around the league, pointing to a crowded Boston outfield as the real issue. With Roman Anthony, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu all healthy and productive, there simply...
Diamondbacks Claim Former Blue Jays Outfielder, One Day After DFA
Just 24 hours after being designated for assignment by the Toronto Blue Jays, Jesus Sanchez has found a new home, being claimed off waivers by the Arizona Diamondbacks. BREAKING: The D-backs have claimed Jeśus Sanchez off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays. Sanchez slashed .260/.318/.416 with 8 HR and 35 this season for Toronto. pic.twitter.com/g2R77JjQix — PHNX Diamondbacks (@PHNX_Dbacks) September 14, 2026 The move comes after the D-Backs DFA'd Lourdes Gurriel Jr. on the weekend. &...
Diamondbacks Could Make Massive Move With Gabriel Moreno
When the Toronto Blue Jays traded their No. 1 prospect, Gabriel Moreno, along with Lourdes Gurriel Jr. to the Arizona Diamondbacks for Daulton Varsho, it looked like a lopsided trade in favor of the D-Backs. Now, late in the 2026 season, with Varsho gone from the Jays after posting a .226 average and 94 OPS+ with them for four years, the deal is looking even more like a massive win for Arizona. Moreno was thought to be untouchable before that trade, and now he is living up to all of thos...
Cubs Make Major Move To Pitching Staff
The Chicago Cubs have had a rollercoaster of a year with their pitching staff. Injuries have devastated the rotation and changed plans in the bullpen as well. Now, just as they're getting Edward Cabrera back from the injured list after missing most of the last three months, they're making another major move. The Cubs are planning to use the career-long starter out of the bullpen down the stretch. Craig Counsell said Edward Cabrera is active and Trent Thornton is headed to the IL wi...
Mariners Could Finally Trade From Loaded Rotation This Winter
The Seattle Mariners have spent years being asked about trading from their rotation and saying no. This winter, that could finally change, and Logan Gilbert is the name drawing the most attention. Gilbert's Contract Situation Is The Hook MLB.com has identified Gilbert as one of the more intriguing trade candidates around the league this offseason, and the reasoning is because of his contract. Gilbert is entering the final year before free agency, and there's no real sign of an ex...
