The Phillies’ Many Infield Questions
The Phillies reshuffled their infield at the trade deadline, moving three players to new positions to accommodate Luis Arraez.

The Orioles already have experienced catchers Samuel Basallo, Carlos Narváez and Yohel Pozo on their 40-man roster, but they may not settle on that trio in 2027.

KBO’s SSG Landers Extend Pedro Avila
Right-hander Pedro Avila joined the SSG Landers of the Korea Baseball Organization in July after opting out of his minor-league contract with the Guardians.

Shohei Ohtani Plans To Pitch Next Year, “Hard To Tell” On Offseason Surgery
Two-way star Shohei Ohtani had a shaky end to the season, both at the plate and on (or rather off) the mound.

Offseason Outlook: Atlanta Braves
The Braves won the NL East and defeated the Phillies in the wild card round before falling to the Dodgers in the NLDS.

Brandon Woodruff Hopes To Pitch In World Series
The Brewers are going to the World Series for the first time since 1982 after coming back from a four-run deficit to finish off their sweep of the Dodgers.

Offseason Outlook: Chicago White Sox
The White Sox became the first team ever to follow three consecutive 100-loss seasons with a playoff berth. They knocked out the Astros for their first series win in two decades in the Wild Card Series. It was an excellent season relative to expectations, though they surely feel they squandered an opportunity by failing to […]

Tonight marked the final game of Miguel Rojas’ career. The two-time World Series winner and 2025 postseason hero told reporters that he’s retiring after the Dodgers were eliminated by the Brewers on Thursday evening (link via Alden González of ESPN).

Right-hander Kona Takahashi might be back on the major league radar this offseason, writes Michael Clair of MLB.com.

Braves Select Brett Wisely
The Braves added infielder Brett Wisely to their 40-man roster, according to the MLB.com transaction tracker.

The Yankees are leaning toward issuing a qualifying offer to closer David Bednar, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post.

AL Central Notes: Caminero, Melton, White Sox, Holderman
The ALCS matchup between the Guardians and Rays has put the spotlight back on one of the most infamous trades in Cleveland baseball history — the November 2021 swap that sent Junior Caminero to Tampa Bay in exchange for right-hander Tobias Myers, who never threw a big league pitch in a Guards uniform. Myers was […]

Rockies Fire Pitching Coach Alon Leichman
The Rockies have parted ways with pitching coach Alon Leichman, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal and Keith Law. Leichman held the position for just one season, as the Rox only hired the 37-year-old last December. On paper, the quick hook isn’t necessarily a surprise given that Colorado’s pitching staff finished last in baseball in […]
Offseason Outlook: Baltimore Orioles
The Orioles fell short of expectations in 2026. They sold at the deadline but it doesn’t appear they are kicking off any kind of rebuild. Assuming they plan to return to contention in 2027, there are many questions to be answered. Guaranteed Contracts Pete Alonso, 1B: $124MM through 2030 Kyle Bradish, RHP: $90MM through 2031 […]
