15+ min ago (489+ words) The stunning postseason collapse of Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase last year has taken on an even darker dimension in light of recent gambling allegations, and the numbers paint a disturbing picture that defies explanation. In Monday's episode of "Today in Ohio," the news podcast from cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer, hosts Chris Quinn and Leila Atassi broke down a statistical deep-dive that reporter Rich Exner conducted to determine if Clase's playoff implosion could be explained by conventional baseball factors. "Did he throw the playoffs for gamblers? We asked reporter Rich Exner to examine every statistic he could, and he came back, Leila, with some fascinating findings," Quinn said. They revealed a transformation so extreme it bordered on statistical impossibility. As Atassi explained, "Clase went from a 0.61 earned run average in the regular season, so basically unhittable in the…...

15+ min ago (743+ words) Dec 8, 2025 | 5:56 PM EST The season is over for most football programs, and coaches are rooting out the bad-performing elements. Tennessee's Josh Heupel has fired DC Tim Banks, adding yet another spot in the coaching carousel. The exit presents a lucrative opportunity for coaches seeking a fresh start. Banks' defense was giving up 395.5 yards per game this season, ranking 88 in the nation and 3 worst in the SEC. It was a huge disappointment for the former DC, who created one of the best defenses in 2024. It was the reason why Tennessee could fight for a playoff spot that year. This year, Tennessee was a nightmare when it came to tackling and ranked among the worst in the SEC in pass defense. BREAKING: Tennessee Defensive Coordinator Tim Banks has been relieved of his duties, per multiple sources. Bank's orchestrated one of the top…...

16+ min ago (354+ words) Last season, one of the strengths of the Boston Red Sox was their bullpen. Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman at the back end were good for manager Alex Cora. At the trade deadline, they acquired veteran left-hander Steven Matz to pair with Justin Wilson. Both Matz and Wilson are free agents this offseason and are likely going to land with other teams. In a loaded American League East, if you are going to compete, you need a strong bullpen. Boston has multiple needs this offseason, which includes adding some arms for Cora in the bullpen. "The Red Sox had a tremendous bullpen in 2025, finishing second in the majors with a 3.41 ERA thanks in large part to the duo of Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman at the back end. Whitlock emerged as a reliable setup man, and Chapman had a career…...

30+ min ago (707+ words) ORLANDO, Fla. " Throughout his career with the Blue Jays, starting pitcher Jose Berrios has been one of the more positive and popular players in the Toronto clubhouse. All that made his absence from the team during the riveting World Series more glaring and perplexing. General manager Ross Atkins acknowledged on Monday that Berrios took the demotion hard, which led to his decision not to be with the team. "He was not happy," Atkins said of Berrios in his suite here at the Winter Meetings. "He was disappointed that he wasn't in our rotation. "It's always tough when someone of his pedigree is not in the rotation. Sure, he was not excited with that decision. And having to be the one that makes it, it makes it very difficult." Atkins' characterization of the Berrios reaction on Monday was more detailed than…...

37+ min ago (479+ words) The Detroit Tigers have perhaps the biggest storyline of the offseason on their hands with the trade rumors surrounding Tarik Skubal. This is considered a championship window for Detroit, but Skubal is set to hit the open market after the 2026 season, and he's certain to demand one of the largest contracts ever handed out to a pitcher. The back-to-back AL Cy Young winner has solidified himself as the top starter in all of baseball, and it would take an absolute haul to acquire him. However, as MLB's Winter Meetings progress, some believe that Detroit may be blown away by a package that they can't pass up.

44+ min ago (137+ words) The Mets hosted a video meeting with Michael King, The Post has learned. ORLANDO, Fla. " The Mets hosted a video meeting with Michael King, The Post has learned. These are not uncommon, and King had video meetings with more than just the Mets, but this exemplifies a level of seriousness between the parties. King comes with a variety of elements appealing to the Mets. David Stearns wants to avoid mega-long contracts with starters in their 30s and King, who turns 31 in May, is expected to eventually sign a three- or four-year pact. King also is proven in New York, having played for the Yankees from 2019-23, a period in which Carlos Mendoza was a major league coach.

44+ min ago (307+ words) Dec 8, 2025 | 5:27 PM EST Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz are still stuck in the off-season limbo. With Alonso, it's almost like a 2024 flashback, isn't it? Mets fans are constantly refreshing their feeds, hoping for news. And well, it makes sense that they are two of the franchise's biggest decisions sitting untouched. But while fans awaited that, New York went and opened the week by signing Carl Edwards Jr.! Will Sammon broke the news: "The Mets are in agreement with reliever Carl Edwards Jr. on a minor-league deal that includes an invite to major league spring training, league sources said." Now, to be fair, Edwards isn't Alonso or Diaz, but he isn't a throwaway signing either. At 34 years old, he is the definition of a veteran depth player. Last season in Triple A, he posted a 4.44 ERA, which was too in one…...

46+ min ago (614+ words) With the Winter Meetings officially underway, MLB rumors are swirling at a rapid pace. Rumors involving any prominent free agent are prevalent now, but this especially goes for the crown jewel of this offseason's class, Kyle Tucker. He might not be Shohei Ohtani or Juan Soto, but Tucker is a superstar in his own right, bound to make at least $300 million in his new deal. With that in mind, the latest rumors involving Tucker link him in different ways to the Toronto Blue Jays, Chicago Cubs and New York Yankees. Let's dive in. Once the offseason began, the New York Yankees felt like one of the most realistic Tucker landing spots, and it wasn't hard to see why. They had two outfield vacancies and could have really used a second superstar to pair with Aaron Judge. Well, roughly one month…...
