3+ min ago (329+ words) It's tough to say the Philadelphia Phillies should move on from any of their top existing players on the current roster who aren't free agents, but anything is possible in Major League Baseball. There remains uncertainty about what the Phillies truly want to do with their payroll, but according to the latest from Matt Gelb of The Athletic, it sounds like it might be an issue this winter. According to Gelb, that's why somebody like Matt Strahm could be available. "This is why league sources said the Phillies have entertained potential trade proposals for Matt Strahm, one of the most effective lefty relievers in MLB over the past few seasons. He'll make $7.5 million in 2026 " again not a large sum but meaningful if the Phillies can pair it with other savings to redeploy into their payroll. "Bohm and Strahm would be…...

"I'm happy for him," Queen said of Harper. "[I] played against him in college, knew him growing up, played against him in middle school. I'm just looking forward to more battles against him. I think I was on Twitter or something. Somebody said the next [draft] class is going to be better than us or something like that." Harper and Queen made strong cases for the Class of 2025. The 13th pick, Queen, scored a game-high 33 points with 10 rebounds, 10 assists and four blocks on the way to becoming the first rookie…...

31+ min ago (706+ words) By Shi Davidi, Sportsnet Posted December 9, 2025 5:37 am. On Sept. 25, the day Jose Berrios was placed on the injured list after making his first relief appearance since 2017, the'Toronto Blue Jays'right-hander offered a rather blunt assessment of where he was at after being pulled from the starting rotation. Those words are worth remembering after Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins, replying to a question Monday at the Winter Meetings on why Berrios wasn't around for parts of the post-season, said the 31-year-old "was not happy" about losing his rotation spot. Being away from the club was "his decision, I think he was just having a tough time, but you'd have to ask him," Atkins continued, later adding that the veteran "handled it well. But then when it came down to (post-season) roster selection, he wasn't on it." In diverging from his Nov. 6 explanation…...

Kyodo via AP Images ORLANDO " There is a long hallway that links the Waldorf Astoria to the Signia by Hilton, and that hallway served as a main thoroughfare for Monday's opening day of baseball's Winter Meetings. The meetings are split between the hotels, and all day, baseball executives, agents and managers walked the route to and from. As Day 1 broke for dinner on Monday night, the top of the free agent market remained frozen while the market's top trade chips remained unmoved. Thus far, only one of the Big Board's top 12 free agents has signed, while aces Tarik Skubal, Freddy Peralta and Sandy Alcantara " among others " remain untraded. So, there were lots of places to go on Day 1, but there was little…...

Matz finished this past season with Boston after the Red Sox acquired him from the St. Louis Cardinals the night before the MLB trade deadline. Matz, 34, has experience starting and relieving, although the bulk of his work was out of the bullpen in 2025. Of his 53 appearances with Boston and St. Louis, 51 came out of the bullpen, with both of his starts for the Cardinals. He had a 3.05 ERA across 76 2/3 innings, striking out 59 while holding left-handers to a .211 batting average.

1+ hour, 7+ min ago (1126+ words) Players don't need to have an X or Instagram account to see what fans are saying about them. If something they said off the ice or did on the ice goes viral, they'll hear about it. If a keyboard warrior is talking smack, a buddy is likely going to take a screenshot and text it to them. There's no escaping social media these days, even if you're never on it. But do any NHL players actually seek it out? There might not be anyone in the NHL quite like Kevin Durant, chirping back and forth with random fans online, but they're not all plugging their ears and covering their eyes. Just most of them. Probably for the best. The Athletic asked 120 NHLers about their social-media habits for our 2025 player poll. Here's what they said. Note: Some player quotes have been…...

1+ hour, 23+ min ago (657+ words) The first full day of MLB's annual Winter Meetings passed on Monday without any major trades, deals or free agent signings getting done, or at least announced. But that didn't stop the rumor mill from working overtime, and one Los Angeles television sports anchor set off perhaps the most talked-about speculation of the day. Free agent former New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso was reported to be driving across the state from his home in Tampa to hold meetings with several suitors, including the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles. Another leak had the Red Sox conducting a sit-down via video conference with Toronto Blue Jays free agent shortstop Bo Bichette. But the highest level of intrigue at the Winter Meetings centers on Detroit Tigers ace left-hander and back-to-back Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal. Dodgers Make First Move…...
