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.

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.

12 Players Elect Free Agency
Now that the season is over, we’ll start seeing several players choose to become minor league free agents.

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.

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“), […]

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.

Rangers’ Chris Young On Offseason, Seager, Jung
The Rangers recorded their third straight sub-.500 season in 2026, yet their 80-82 record was almost enough to win the lackluster American League West.

The Mariners and manager Dan Wilson came within a game of winning the franchise’s first American League pennant a year ago, but he is now out of a job after a bitterly disappointing 2026.
