26+ min ago (146+ words) The Braves will end up spending more than Soroka on a reliever that's probably gonna be worse than him, I'm guessing We all love Michael Soroka. We're all sad his career has gone the way it has, right? Well, Soroka had his second-best season last year, putting up 1.1 fWAR for the Nationals and Cubs. He actually had 1.2 fWAR for the Nationals in 16 starts, but then kind of imploded while barely pitching for the Cubs down the stretch. In a vacuum, I would've easily done that deal, and not just because I love Michael Soroka. Maybe the Braves didn't because of Soroka's long-standing set of issues with the mound at Truist Park. Maybe they have other plans. Who knows. Would you have done that deal, though, all things considered? One more sleep until the Winter Meetings....

33+ min ago (476+ words) Shane Bieber surprised many when he picked up his $16 million option to remain with the Toronto Blue Jays for 2026. Bieber could have landed a more lucrative long-term deal, and many thought he opted in because he was hurt. The former Cy Young Award winner was coming back from Tommy John surgery. Now it's been revealed he was dealing with forearm soreness at the end of the season, according to The Athletic's Mitch Bannon and Ken Rosenthal. "We now have a bit more clarity on Bieber's status and his decision to pick up his option," the article read. "Bieber dealt with forearm fatigue at the end of the season, a person briefed on the matter said, but has since begun offseason recovery and rehab work. Bieber went 4-2 with a 3.57 ERA in seven starts with the Blue Jays down the stretch. He…...

36+ min ago (409+ words) If the deal crosses the finish line, the internet won't just react'it will erupt. That detail alone shows how far the talks have advanced. The Dodgers rarely move elite prospects unless they secure the player long-term, and the Tigers refuse to trade their ace without ownership signing off. Both sides want clarity before they push the deal into history. Detroit spent the last year dodging questions about an extension for Skubal. The left-hander could earn more than $350 million on his next contract, and the Tigers simply haven't positioned themselves to make that commitment. If they believe Skubal plans to test free agency next winter, then they must choose between losing him for nothing or cashing in now. And no team pays more aggressively for elite talent than the Dodgers. Even Newsweek jumped into the fray, reporting that the Dodgers remain…...

39+ min ago (377+ words) December 10, 2025 / 8:52 AM EST / CBS Atlanta A Decatur man has pleaded guilty to illegally flying a drone over Truist Park during the 2025 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. It's a federal crime that prosecutors say put fans and aircraft at risk. Mitchell Parsons Hughes, 47, admitted in federal court that he knowingly violated a temporary flight restriction, also known as a No Drone Zone, during the July 15 game. He was sentenced to six months' probation and fined $500 by U.S. Magistrate Judge Russell Vineyard. "Anyone attempting to fly a drone in a prohibited manner can expect to be prosecuted," U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg said. "Flight restrictions are implemented for the safety of everyone, whether at the event or nearby. My office and its partners will enforce the law to protect the community whenever a major event, such as the upcoming FIFA World Cup, is hosted in…...

45+ min ago (221+ words) By Nick Deeds | December 10, 2025 at 7:47am CDT As the Winter Meetings continue, here are three things we'll be keeping an eye on around the baseball world throughout the day today: 1. Rule 5 Draft today: 2. Could the Pirates pivot to Polanco? 3. Relief market buzzing: Take Polanco Pirates. He's limited and won't be worth what he gets. Is it possible that Pittsburgh is doing it inside out'looking to sign a quality FA and then, if they do, trade Skenes for an insane haul, including current position players? Will MLBtraderumors post both primary and secondary phase of the Rule 5 results? The secondary phase occasionally has some interesting players also. Polanco would be nice if he was the other bat you added! Shoot for Alonso I'd honestly rather have Polanco and Suarez than Alonso. Bellinger maybe than any of them. I'm still holding out hope that…...

55+ min ago (501+ words) The fact remains that if Bichette moves on to a new organization, the Blue Jays will need to make changes to cover for the loss of the young slugger. During these Winter Meetings in Orlando, new replacement options have surfaced for the Blue Jays to sign if they are unable to bring back Bichette. Things are moving quickly at the Winter Meetings. Kyle Schwarber re-signed with the Philadelphia Phillies, which was the first domino to fall. After that, the top closer in Edwin Diaz joined the Dodgers on a three-year pact worth $69 million. This move will cause a big ripple effect for the Blue Jays. With two organizations making moves, it feels high time for the Blue Jays to make moves of their own. Mitch Bannon of The Athletic has a new report detailing some of the options available to…...

1+ hour, 1+ min ago (661+ words) Dec 10, 2025 | 8:30 AM EST May 18, 2024; Miami, Florida, USA; New York Mets relief pitcher Edwin Diaz (39) reacts as he leaves the mound after giving up four runs against the Miami Marlins in the ninth inning at loanDepot Park. Mandatory Credit: Rhona Wise-USA TODAY Sports When Edwin D'az signed a three-year, $69-million deal with the two-time World Series champions, David Stearns and the Mets were closely and immediately scrutinized. After all, many expected Steve Cohen to use his financial clout to keep key players. According to reports, Stearns and Co. made efforts, yet many believe D'az's choice was always the Dodgers, irrespective of the financial package. To put it simply, the New York Mets just got a taste of their own medicine. Last off-season, the Mets stole Juan Soto from the Yankees by outbidding them by just $5 million. And now, the Dodgers have…...

1+ hour, 1+ min ago (737+ words) A Mets minor leaguer bats in a Low-A Florida State League game. MLB is considering eliminating hitter timeouts entirely, or reducing their length, in three Low-A minor leagues next year. Mike Janes / Four Seam Images via Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. " It has never been harder to hit than it is right now, and in the low minor leagues next year, it's possible it could get even harder. Under baseball's current pitch-clock rules, each minor-league hitter gets one timeout per plate appearance. But that could shrink to none if Major League Baseball goes ahead with a potential minor-league rule-change experiment in 2026. In a session with MLB officials at this week's Winter Meetings, player development staff for all 30 teams were told the league is considering eliminating hitter timeouts entirely in its three Low-A minor leagues, according to three people who were in…...

1+ hour, 6+ min ago (315+ words) The Atlanta Braves have emerged as one of the top suitors for All-Star free agent reliever Robert Suarez and that is just great news. Braves reportedly are among the most aggressive suitors for Robert Suarez First, in terms of whether or not Suarez is a fit for the Braves, the evidence is clear that he is. The Braves have relied on Iglesias for a long time, but there is no denying that his first half was a reminder of how volatile relievers can be. By adding Suarez, it would give Atlanta another high leverage option that they have lacked with Jimenez out while protecting against another slump from Iglesias. We also know that the Braves still have money for the bullpen after signing Iglesias, but exactly how far they should push for Suarez is a fair question. Suarez is a…...
