Daulton Varsho Undergoes Wrist Surgery
The Astros announced Wednesday that outfielder Daulton Varsho underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left wrist. He’d been plagued by a pair of cysts in that wrist, which had become increasingly uncomfortable as the final stretch of the season inched toward its conclusion. Varsho finished the season on the injured list and wasn’t on the Wild […]
Tigers Notes: McGonigle, Keith, Free Agent Bats
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch and president of baseball operations Scott Harris addressed the media earlier this week (video link via the Tigers on X). The duo outlined offseason plans and provided details on the outlook for 2027. The infield, particularly from a defensive perspective, was a frequent topic of discussion. The matchup-conscious Tigers have shuffled […]
Joe Mantiply Elects Free Agency
Veteran left-hander Joe Mantiply is a free agent, per his MLB.com transactions page. The reliever was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays last week. Mantiply passed through waivers unclaimed. He’d been outrighted before, so he had the option to reject a minor league assignment and choose free agency. Mantiply closed the 2025 campaign in […]
Cardinals Notes: Third Base, Burleson, Walker
The Cardinals spent most of the 2025 season searching for a solution at third base. The Opening Day starter, Nolan Gorman, was demoted by June. Offseason acquisition Ramon Urias was injured for most of the year. St. Louis trotted out four different players for 70+ plate appearances at third base. None produced an OPS above […]
D-backs Outright Jesús Sánchez
Outfielder Jesús Sánchez cleared waivers after being designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks and was assigned outright to Triple-A Reno, per the team’s transaction log at MLB.com. He’ll have the right to become a free agent, which he’ll surely take. Sánchez’s time with the Snakes was brief. Arizona claimed him off waivers on Sept. 14 […]
The Opener: Rice, Anthony, Musgrove
Under the current postseason format (introduced in 2022), the winner of Game 1 in the Wild Card round is 15-1 in the series (h/t Jeff Passan of ESPN). The only team to lose the first game and win the series was the Yankees over the Red Sox in 2025. 1. Rice carries NY offense Cam […]
Roman Anthony Leaves ALWCS Game 1 Due To Hand Soreness
The Yankees crushed the Red Sox in a 9-0 rout in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series, putting Boston in immediate do-or-die mode in the best-of-three series. The chances of a comeback will be more difficult if Roman Anthony isn’t available, and his status is now in question after an early exit in Game […]
NL Injury Notes: Freeman, Henriquez, Elder, Ortiz, Woodruff
The Dodgers don’t begin their quest for a threepeat until the NLDS begins on Saturday, and the veteran team is benefiting from five full days off. Freddie Freeman told the Orange County Register’s Bill Plunkett and other media that he loves having the time “to really work on mechanics of my swing, and my knee’s […]
12 Players Elect Free Agency
Now that the season is over, we’ll start seeing several players choose to become minor league free agents. Major League free agents (i.e. players with six-plus years of big league service time) will hit the open market five days after the end of the World Series, but eligible minor leaguers can already start electing free […]
Tom Pohlad: Twins Will “Meaningfully Invest” In Payroll, Plan To Contend In 2027
2026 marked the first season of Tom Pohlad as the Twins’ designated control person, with Pohlad becoming his family’s representative in league ownership matters and the franchise’s executive chair. Derek Falvey’s surprising departure as the president of baseball operations in January (and GM Jeremy Zoll becoming the new head of baseball ops) marked the first […]

(Fish On First’s Kevin Barral, MLB.com’s Christina De Nicola, and The Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson […]
Liam Hendriks Announces Retirement
In a very amusing and self-deprecating post on his Instagram page, veteran reliever Liam Hendriks has announced his retirement after 14 big league seasons. The 37-year-old Hendriks cited the fans, his family (“a huge thank you to my wife for always believing in me, which was honestly a terrifying display of delusion on her part“), […]
Jake Woodford Elects Free Agency
TODAY: Woodford has rejected the outright assignment and become a free agent, the Tampa Bay Times’ Marc Topkin reports. SEPTEMBER 28: The Rays have sent right-hander Jake Woodford outright to Triple-A Durham, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. That indicates he cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last week. It’s not a surprise […]
Mickey Gasper To Undergo Biceps Surgery
Red Sox catcher/first baseman Mickey Gasper hit the 10-day injured list a few days ago with a right biceps strain. Rob Bradford of WEEI reports that Gasper actually tore his biceps off a tendon and will have surgery on Friday. Bradford doesn’t provide a timetable for Gasper’s recovery but it seems fair to conclude his […]
Marlins Part Ways With Hitting Coach Pedro Guerrero

Mets Notes: Rotation, Senga, Second Base

Only four Mets pitchers reached 100 innings: Nolan McLean (179 2/3), Sean Manaea (150 2/3), Christian Scott (110) and Freddy Peralta (113 2/3), the latter […]
Report: Marlins Don’t Plan To Trade Sandy Alcantara In Offseason
The Marlins have no plans to trade right-hander Sandy Alcantara this offseason, per reporting from Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald. 2026 was the final guaranteed year of Alcantara’s deal but he can be retained for 2027 via a $21MM club option or sent to free agency via a $2MM buyout. It appears the most […]
Royals To Replace Hitting Coach Alec Zumwalt
The Royals are planning to replace hitting coach Alec Zumwalt, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. He’s being reassigned within the organization and not fired, however. Zumwalt will continue on in his role as the team’s senior director of hitting performance but apparently won’t be in uniform and working with the big league staff on […]
