The Chicago Cubs have been hard at work when it comes to spending in free agency this offseason, and they could end up making some noise in the National League Central after a couple of down years.

The New York Yankees have had an explosive offseason of work to say the least, as they have managed to re-sign star outfielder Aaron Judge while also landing one of the top starting pitchers on the market in Carlos Rodon. But that’s not to say all the holes on their team are filled, and it […]

Even with the start of Spring Training being less than a month away, there are still a few unsigned free agents that could very well become impact additions for an aspiring contender. In particular, there are a few left-handed relievers capable of strengthening even the best of bullpens left on the market, such as Matt […]

The MLB free agent frenzy is over for the most part, with many teams already having done the majority of their offseason work. There are still players who are available that could make an impact for playoff contenders, though, and there are obviously teams still looking to shore up some final spots on their roster. […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers recently agreed to terms on a deal with pitcher Jordan Yamamoto. This will be an overlooked signing by many. But Yamamoto was once a highly-regarded prospect in the Miami Marlins’ organization. He recently revealed his goal after signing in LA. “Let’s go @Dodgers! Glad to be apart of an amazing organization! […]

It seemed as if Yuli Gurriel to the Miami Marlins was a done deal. But talks have reportedly “cooled” as of late, per Jon Heyman.

The Cincinnati Reds have been mentioned as a potential landing destination for Trevor Bauer after the Los Angeles Dodgers moved on from the pitcher. Bauer, who won the NL Cy Young award with Cincinnati during the 2020 campaign, would benefit from playing in a smaller market upon his initial return from suspension. However, the Reds […]

Trevor Bauer is available to sign at the league minimum for any team that wishes to pursue the former Cy Young winner.

Los Angeles Dodgers fans were especially divided on […]

Justin Turner signed with the Boston Red Sox in MLB free agency following a memorable tenure with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The New York Mets’ heavy lifting from the MLB offseason is over, but that doesn’t mean their shopping spree is complete.

The Chicago White Sox did not have the 2022 season that they were hoping for, and went into the 2023 offseason knowing they had a lot of work to do. While they didn’t have a lot of resources to use to their advantage, the White Sox will enter the upcoming season looking for some bounce […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers made an under the radar MLB free agency move on Saturday. The Dodgers and RHP Tyler Cyr reportedly agreed to terms on a minor league contract with an invite to Spring Training, per Fabian Ardaya. Cyr isn’t a high-profile name by any means. But the Dodgers’ ability to help pitchers emerge […]

The San Francisco Giants follow up to their extremely successful 2021 campaign was very disappointing. Just one season after winning 107 games, the Giants only managed to go 81-81 on the season, and ended up missing the playoffs entirely. That set the stage for the Giants to be big players in free agency this offseason. […]

The Houston Astros are fresh off winning the 2022 World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies, and have been rightfully basking in their own glory for much of the offseason. But soon enough, the 2023 season will be underway, and the Astros will begin their quest to win their second straight championship. Doing so is always […]

The San Diego Padres very nearly pulled off an unlikely run to the World Series in 2022, and while they came up short in the NLCS against the Philadelphia Phillies, it’s clear that they are intent on maximizing their championship window. You can see as much thanks to the moves that they have made throughout […]

Yuli Gurriel is reportedly a “possibility” for the Miami Marlins, per Jon Heyman and Alejandro Villegas. The Marlins desperately need offensive help. Gurriel would provide a steady presence in the lineup for Miami. The former Houston Astros’ first baseman is a reliable veteran and 2-time World Series champion. Gurriel was apart of the Astros’ 2017 […]

Veteran relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman is drawing interest in MLB free agency. The former New York Yankees closer was previously linked to the Miami Marlins.

It took awhile for us to reach this point, but Carlos Correa has finally come off the board in MLB free agency. Correa ended up re-signing with the Minnesota Twins after all, putting pen to paper on a six-year, $200 million contract that will see him be one of the highest paid players in the […]

The New York Yankees have made a number of key moves this offseason. Re-signing Aaron Judge obviously stands out. Bringing back the slugger on a 9-year, $360 million deal presents some risk. But was it the riskiest move of the Yankees’ offseason? The Yankees are in a position where taking risks is necessary. They haven’t […]

The St. Louis Cardinals and left-handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery have agreed to a $10 million deal for 2023 to avoid arbitration in MLB free agency, MLB.com Executive Reporter Mark Feinsand wrote in a Friday tweet.

The New York Mets are reportedly interested in former MVP Andrew McCutchen, per the New York Post’s Jon Heyman.

McCutchen was previously linked to the Los Angeles Dodgers in MLB free […]

The San Diego Padres and Nelson Cruz are reportedly in agreement on a 1-year deal, per Hector Gomez. The deal is reportedly worth $1 million, per Jeff Passan.

The San Francisco Giants are reportedly interested in catcher Gary Sanchez, per Hector Gomez. Sanchez features no shortage of power from the catcher position.

Carlos Correa previously agreed to terms on a 13-year and 12-year deal with the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets. Both deals ultimately fell apart due to concerns about Correa’s long-term health because of a lingering leg ailment. Correa most recently agreed to a 6-year, $200 million contract with the Minnesota Twins. Nothing is […]

Carlos Correa is headed back to Minnesota to re-join the Twins after agreeing to a 6-year, $200 million deal.

It is no secret that the Los Angeles Dodgers are believed to be saving up for a Shohei Ohtani 2023 free agency run.

The New York Yankees have had a solid offseason thus far, securing an Aaron Judge extension and the signing of Carlos Rodon. But there’s more work to be done if the Yankees want to win their first World Series title since 2009. The starting rotation appears set in stone, and it’s one of the best […]

Carlos Correa has had a really, REALLY weird offseason. He was considered one of the biggest stars on the market for most of the offseason, and for good reason.

The Los Angeles Dodgers may have two advantages should they try to pursue right-handed Los Angeles Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani in 2023 MLB free agency, New York Post baseball columnist Jon Heyman wrote in a Friday article. “They believe the West Coast is a plus; six of seven finalists five years ago including the Dodgers […]
