It likely is not the first name that many would want to see come down the pike, as superstar closer Edwin Diaz remains floating on the open market, especially considering the 2025 campaign that Williams had in his lone year in the Bronx." Mets, Devin Williams agree to 3-year deal Williams is coming off his worst year as a pro after being acquired by the Yankees from Milwaukee last winter. Owning a 1.83 career ERA entering 2025, he posted a 4.79 ERA with four blown saves in 62 innings pitched with the Yankees, ultimately losing the closer's job." So why are the Mets doling out considerable funds to bring him in?...

Coral Gables, Florida (VIP-WIRE) " Today, like every Tuesday and tomorrow, Wednesday, is Mail Day. If you write to me, don't forget to include your full name and the town or city you're writing from. Thank you. Amenodoro R'os, from Culiac'n, asks: Is it true about the record of three stolen bases in an inning recently set by a Dominican player? Dear friend Menis: Elly De La Cruz, a Dominican player for the Reds, singled and stole second, third, and home. He tied the record, which is held by 54 others. The first to achieve it was Dave Fultz of the Philadelphia Athletics, on September 4, 1902. Ty Cobb accomplished it four times. Rodrigo Guti'rrez, from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, kindly writes: "You…...

55+ min ago (689+ words) 24th percentile in average exit velocity. That is the number that should terrify every fan in Queens currently clamoring for a big-name splash to round out the outfield. It is no secret that the New York Mets are desperate to bring in another body to fill the vacancy created by the departure of Brandon Nimmo. Right now, the depth chart looks frighteningly thin. You have Jeff McNeil and Tyrone Taylor slated as primary pieces to the puzzle alongside Juan Soto in right field. We all know that won't last long; the front office is actively hunting for a replacement on the open market. But if they are smart, they will steer clear of the New York Yankees' free agent outfielder Cody Bellinger. On the back of the baseball card, Bellinger looks like a prize. The 30-year-old is coming off a big…...

The league, now in its third year, began its winter ball season in November and is set to wrap up next weekend with championship games in two divisions. Chisholm spoke about what it means to return home and see the league move into its third year of existence. "It feels great," said Chisholm. "You got all these kids who just love playing the game…...

1+ hour, 41+ min ago (266+ words) Oliver Antman has made 20 appearances since joining Rangers Rangers head coach Danny Rohl has been hit with another injury blow with winger Oliver Antman out for the next two months with a leg injury. Rohl says he's very surprised at the extent of the adductor issue, as the Finland cap's substitution at the weekend was tactical rather than enforced. Antman, 24, joins defenders Derek Cornelius and John Souttar on the sidelines, with Rohl also expecting to lose Mohamed Diomande and Nasser Djiga to the African Cup of Nations later this month. It means the January transfer window will be crucial for Rangers. Rohl is in dialogue with chairman Andrew Cavenagh to target "quality over quantity" and identify players who "knows what it takes to play for Rangers". Meanwhile, Rohl feels there should not be too much of an overreaction to Sunday's…...

1+ hour, 55+ min ago (331+ words) The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal was pending a physical and had not been announced. Multiple media reports indicated the sides agreed to a three-year contract. Williams spent last season across town with the New York Yankees, going 4-6 with a career-worst 4.79 ERA and 18 saves in 22 chances. He lost the closer's job, regained it and then lost it again before finishing the year with four scoreless outings during the American League playoffs. The 31-year-old right-hander is a two-time All-Star who twice won the Trevor Hoffman NL Reliever of the Year Award with the Milwaukee Brewers while Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns was running that team. Williams also was voted the 2020 NL Rookie of the Year. Milwaukee traded Williams to the Yankees for pitcher Nestor Cortes and infielder Caleb Durbin last December. With…...

2+ hour, 10+ min ago (242+ words) Does Chicago ever need what the Bears are giving the city right now. Nothing unifies Chicago more than the Bears. Chicagoans disagree with one another on many things " including, of course, their baseball allegiances " but there's little if any dissent about our football team. Many of us live and die with them, and the rest of us are happier when they're succeeding and bummed out when they're not. So we think it fitting and proper, particularly after Thanksgiving weekend, to be grateful for meaningful December games for Chicago's NFL franchise. Before the season started, most fans would have been more than satisfied if you'd told them the Bears even would be in the playoff hunt at this point, much less leading the conference. Continuing with the thanksgiving theme, it's all gravy from here, Bears fans. Sure, if the Bears stumble…...

2+ hour, 10+ min ago (375+ words) Willson Contreras has two years and $36.5 million remaining on a five-year, $85 million contract. John Fisher / Getty Images The most frenzied week of the winter is near. MLB's annual Winter Meetings begin Monday in Orlando, and the St. Louis Cardinals figure to be one of the more active teams in the trade market. This will not necessarily change the Cardinals' order of operations, but they will continue to gauge interest on Contreras and present the 10-year veteran with the option to approve a trade, should one arise. Here's what we're hearing as the Cardinals head into the Winter Meetings. The corner-infield market is still being defined, but Contreras could be intriguing for a team looking for a bat-first option. Contreras, 33, clubbed 20 homers and set a career high in RBIs (80) in 135 games for the Cardinals last season, his first as a full-time…...

2+ hour, 10+ min ago (363+ words) The New York Yankees won't be shy about addressing the roster this winter after following up their trip all the way to the World Series in 2024 with a disappointing playoff exit at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays. It seems the bullpen could use some reinforcement and the team will be without several key starters to begin the season, so it could bring in a new face. And the outfield might be due for some significant changes as well. "The Yankees came up short against the Blue Jays in the ALDS, but the front office has already gotten to work retooling the team, specifically in the outfield," Charlie Wright wrote for MLB Trade Rumors. While the Yankees still face some open questions about their big-league alignment, they brought in a teenaged international prospect who could become an option in…...

Meanwhile, Club Girl Golf founder Katie Calderon, 25, is designing golf clubs specifically for women, offering customization options that had been available only to men, and Hallie Martin, who turns 27 this month, is a cofounder of Women's Elite Rugby, the first professional women's rugby league in the U.S. In another sign of the sports world's growing inclusivity, the 30 Under 30 Sports class of 2026 features 14 women and 16 people of color.
