3+ min ago (876+ words) If the Atlanta Braves are considering converting a reliever into the rotation, targeting Brad Keller this offseason has a lot of merit. Now that the Atlanta Braves have re-signed Raisel Iglesias to address their closer situation, the two main roster areas they need to address are shortstop and starting pitching depth. The shortstop market is a mess and the Braves may have to "settle" more than they would like there, but there are a plethora of rotation options including a few that would require a Reynaldo Lopez-like conversion. While more common than it used to be, converting pitchers from the bullpen to the rotation is still fairly rare. It requires a pitcher to have relatively clean mechanics, some amount of command of a diverse arsenal, and ideally experience starting so the team can be confident that they can hold up…...

26+ min ago (528+ words) The Seattle Mariners may have to move on to plan B in their search for a versatile infielder/designated hitter. Jorge Polanco typically filled this role for the club during a successful 2025 season. The switch-hitter, however, is now a free agent, and his future remains uncertain. Assuming that the veteran infielder does not return to Seattle, the Mariners could actually have a better contingency plan. Bleacher Report has concocted a trade idea that would see Seattle acquire Ketel Marte from the Arizona Diamondbacks. The three-time All-Star and reigning Silver Slugger award winner previously began his MLB career with the Mariners. GettyThe Seattle Mariners previously signed Ketel Marte as an international free agent in 2010. Bleacher Report's piece regarding Marte is not exactly just a shot in the dark. Baseball insider Jon Morosi reported on November 25 that the Diamondbacks are "actively listening…...

39+ min ago (741+ words) Dec 1, 2025 | 11:43 AM EST The Toronto Blue Jays didn't just miss out on Ryan Helsley; they missed out on their best chance to fix their bullpen! And that too tight into the hands of a division rival, the Baltimore Orioles. A team that seems to have more financial muscle than the Blue Jays. This has really put Toronto's Blue Jays in a spot, but there may be an option. Ken Rosenthal and Katie Woo suggest, "With Ryan Helsley off the market, Pete Fairbanks might be the next closer to sign. The Toronto Blue Jays and Miami Marlins are among the teams interested in him, according to industry sources briefed on his market." But then, you might be questioning'will the Jays really sign him? Because Raisel Iglesias and Phil Maton were also connected to the Jays, and they signed elsewhere. And now…...

45+ min ago (328+ words) The Atlanta Braves struck early when they re-signed Raisel Iglesias and that decision looks very wise after Ryan Helsley's deal with the Orioles. In fact, in the wake of Ryan Helsley's deal with the Orioles, the Braves look particularly smart in striking as early and decisively as they did. There is risk in making deals early in the offseason. Even if you stick to strict rules for specific rules like avoiding long-term deals with relievers, there is a real chance that you either set the price too high for other bullpen needs or miss out on better values later in the offseason when guys get desperate. With the big name closers like Edwin Diaz and Robert Suarez still on the market, we'll know for sure whether or not the Braves did well with the Iglesias deal soon enough. However, the early…...

51+ min ago (1114+ words) NEW YORK, NY " The New York Mets and Texas Rangers finalized a trade just over a week ago to kick off the surprising times of MLB's offseason where unexpected moves in the trade market come knocking on the doors of front offices." Mets President of Baseball Operations David Stearns will never be accused of either being complacent or sentimental. He proved that by trading the longest-tenured Met, and fan favorite, 32-year-old outfielder Brandon Nimmo, to the Texas Rangers in exchange for 35-year-old second baseman Marcus Semien." As if to rub salt into their wounds, many Philadelphia Phillies fan social media sites were ecstatic the Mets had jettisoned Nimmo. Many recalled the many times Nimmo came up with big hits at Citizens Bank Park to propel the Mets to victory over their team. From an economic viewpoint, Semien will be earning…...

1+ hour, 4+ min ago (504+ words) The New York Yankees still have moves to make in the early stages of the offseason and there are no shortage of MLB rumors on who could soon be wearing pinstripes. New York has been linked to several prized free agents in addition to trying to re-sign Cody Bellinger. The Yankees could also turn to the trade market in an attempt to bolster the team's World Series chances for 2026. Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter offered an intriguing trade proposal that has the Yankees land Milwaukee Brewers All-Star closer Trevor Megill in exchange for three players. Let's dive into the Yankees-Brewers trade pitch. The proposed trade has the Yankees acquire Megill in exchange pitcher Carlos Lagrange, first baseman T.J. Rumfield and pitcher Harrison Cohen. Megill is coming off an All-Star campaign which included career-high numbers with 30 saves and 60 strikeouts. "The Yankees have a…...

1+ hour, 23+ min ago (482+ words) The New York Yankees have been rumored to potentially be open to moving on from shortstop Anthony Volpe. Volpe had been considered the future of the Yankees and long-term answer at shortstop. However, he has struggled defensively, and his bat was an issue last season. With that, Volpe's name has come up as a potential trade candidate. Yet, Yankees insider Chris Kirschner of The Athletic expects Volpe to at least have another year to prove he's a long-term player for New York. The Yankees insider expects Volpe to remain the starting shortstop in 2026 and prove he can be the long-term answer. But, next season could very well be a do-or-die season for Volpe's future i the Bronx. Volpe struggled in 2025 in large part due to an injury. The Yankees' starting shortstop dealt with a shoulder injury, which resulted in constant…...

1+ hour, 26+ min ago (448+ words) Blues midfielder has taken some stick for his latest fashion statement ENZO FERNANDEZ has been teased for wearing a pricey top that wouldn't look out of place in a school disco. A popular social media meme about a "Year 6 disco starter pack' features a black shirt with a ring of flames around the bottom, a pair of Total 90 astroturf trainers and spiked-up hair. Comical comparisons were drawn when Fernandez posed for a picture with journalist Ben Jacobs wearing an almost exact replica of the infamous flame shirt. And one quick-witted fan trolled the Chelsea midfielder by replying to the picture with a snap of the "starter pack'. Another wrote: "It's got the "How do you do, fellow kids' meme vibe, referring to a notable scene from American sitcom 30 Rock. But Fernandez"s fiery attire was no bottom-shelf knock-off. Anyone wanting…...
