4+ min ago (738+ words) Former professional baseball player Harold Baines, left, and Chris Getz, vice president and general manager for the Chicago White Sox celebrate after learning they will have the number one pick in the upcoming draft lottery at Major League Baseball's winter meetings, Tuesday, Dec. 9, 2025, in Orlando, Fla. ORLANDO, Fla. " The White Sox brass feels the momentum building throughout the organization. A week in Orlando talking with other teams at the Walt Disney World Resort complex served notice that the industry is starting to look at the downtrodden Sox more favorably. The 28-37 second-half record with a positive run differential piqued the interest of teams around the league. "Last year, as players were joining our major-league club and performing the way they did, you began to see the light at the end of the tunnel," general manager Chris Getz said. "Now it's just…...

8+ min ago (212+ words) After playing a key role for the Toronto Blue Jays en route to the World Series, starting pitcher Max Scherzer is now a free agent. Any team aiming for a playoff berth in 2026 could be in the mix to potentially sign him. On Friday, MLB reporter Ken Rosenthal sparked rumors after naming the San Francisco Giants as a possible landing spot. During a guest appearance on "Foul Territory," Rosenthal claims he believes the Giants will sign the 41-year-old pitcher this offseason. Largely because the popular MLB Insider says that the organization does not plan on spending big money on a starting pitcher. So, that leaves the door open for San Francisco to pursue Scherzer. "Why [the Giants] wouldn't continue spending on the pitching is a little curious to me," said Rosenthal. "I expect that they're gonna sign Max Scherzer. Max…...

9+ min ago (207+ words) Last season was uneven. Michael Siani made just 19 major league appearances and spent most of the year at Triple-A Memphis. There, he slashed .209/.307/.329 over 430 plate appearances. The swing never fully stabilized. The speed still played. He stole 28 bases and continued to earn praise for elite outfield defense, closing gaps and taking smart routes with confidence. That profile explains the claim. The Dodgers prioritize late-inning control, defensive security, and roster adaptability. Siani brings all three. He also has one minor league option remaining, giving Los Angeles room to maneuver as camp battles unfold and injuries test depth. That flexibility is currency during the Dodgers" offseason. This move doesn"t close the book on the roster. It adds another page. The Dodgers continue to layer options, trusting its development system and betting that run prevention and speed can quietly swing games. If…...

21+ min ago (262+ words) By Anthony Franco | December 12, 2025 at 6:44pm CDT The Blue Jays are in agreement with free agent reliever Tyler Rogers on a three-year, $37MM contract, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. The deal includes an $11MM vesting option for the 2029 season. Newsstand Toronto Blue Jays Transactions Tyler Rogers Here come the jays!! Bummer, was hoping he'd reunite with SF. Sad.Sox 3 (Skenes in 2027) Good for the Jays! I'm jealous of a Front Office that knows what it wants and goes out and gets it. Congrats Giants blew this one. In other news, Mets suck. Lotta dough for a 35 year old, but that down under motion should age well. Blue Jays strike again! Finally earns more than his bro! I can't wait to hear that Stearns low balled him. 2026 Free Agency Contest Award Winner Wow, Mets are just sitting on their hands. I like Rogers,…...

24+ min ago (438+ words) When the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Edwin Diaz to a $69 million contract, many saw it as the snag of the MLB Winter Meetings. But it's easy to forget that the Dodgers made the same move last season. Yes, the Dodgers signed Tanner Scott to a $72 million contract to be their closer. Ultimately, that is not what happened. Scott struggled mightily in 2025, going 1-4 with a 4.74 ERA and 23 saves, and a career-high 10 blown saves over 61 appearances. Then, he sustained an injury before the playoffs, leaving the Dodgers with no trustworthy closer. That is why they used Yoshinobu Yamamoto to close things out in Game 7, a day after he started Game 6. They didn't have anyone else. It's safe to say the Dodgers' bullpen was a disaster last season. Things got so bad that they earned an unwanted record for futility. With the Dodgers…...

24+ min ago (699+ words) At the start of the winter, the assumption was that top free-agent closer Edwin D'az would fall out of the Dodgers" preferred price range. Knowing they needed bullpen help, however, the Dodgers decided to reach out with interest anyway. What followed will go down as one of the most surprising outcomes of this MLB offseason. And, for the Dodgers, their latest in a string of big-name, star-player acquisitions. Even though the Dodgers initially had doubts about their chances of landing D'az " especially on the kind of relatively shorter-term deal they were seeking in their hunt for relief help " circumstances changed, D'az"s market evolved, and they went from dark horse to front-runner. On Friday, it all culminated in a Dodger Stadium news conference, the once-unexpected union between the two-time defending champions and three-time All-Star right-hander being made official as D'az…...

30+ min ago (228+ words) MIAMI -- The Marlins agreed to terms with Christopher Morel on a one-year deal to be a first-base option, sources told MLB.com on Friday afternoon. The club did not confirm the report. Once a top prospect known for his power bat, Morel is considered a high-risk, high-reward flyer. He is a .222/.299/.415 career hitter with 9.0% walk and 30.4% strikeout rates, 63 doubles, 10 triples, 74 homers, 210 RBIs and 31 steals in 477 games from 2022-25 with the Cubs and Rays. Even still, Morel's 11 homers in 2025 would've been fourth most on a Marlins club that slugged the fourth fewest in the Majors (154). The 26-year-old Morel, who has appeared in all three outfield spots, second, third and short, will mostly play first base -- a position he has never manned in his professional career. New infield coach Blake Butler will be tasked with helping Morel. The Marlins looked to upgrade at…...

31+ min ago (326+ words) Dusty Baker's got his slugger! On Friday afternoon, Nicaragua announced that Mark Vientos, the Mets' power-hitting third baseman, intends to play for the team at the upcoming World Baseball Classic this March. Originally born in Norwalk, Conn., Vientos is eligible for the national team through his mother, Katy Wilmore, who was born in Nicaragua. Though rosters won't be finalized until February, this is a huge boon for the national team, whose lineup has been in need of an infusion of offense since appearing in the country's first World Baseball Classic in 2023. That year, the team's 4.91 ERA was tied with Italy for eighth in the tournament, but its offense put up just a .499 OPS -- third worst in the field. It was a story that repeated in March's Taipei Qualifier, which Nicaragua swept to finish first and advance to the 2026 tournament. The…...

35+ min ago (203+ words) Earlier this week, we heard that super agent Scott Boras had reached out to the Seattle Mariners, expressing Alex Bregman's willingness to play in Seattle. Bregman, 31, is a free agent who just opted-out of his contract with the Boston Red Sox. All reports indicate that the Red Sox want him back, but nothing has materialized yet. Almost as soon as the reports came out, Mariners fans dismissed them, saying that Boras was using the Mariners for leverage on other teams around the league. ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney agrees, as he told the Refuse to Lose podcast earlier this week: Sure, in the sense that the M's have a theoretical opening at third base, but as Olney points out, Emerson is likely to be on the big-league roster in relative short order, if not on Opening Day. The Mariners seem…...
