The Pittsburgh Pirates could use some bats, and the A's are still looking to add some pitching this winter, so how likely is it that these clubs come together on a deal?
The MLB is nearly a month away from the first pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training, unofficially kicking off the 2026 season. As of Jan. 9, the first of many power rankings appeared online, showing who might have the upper edge at the start of the season.
Since free agency started two months ago, many players have found new homes. So it’s worth taking a look at the remaining free agents. In late November, Dylan Cease signed a seven-year deal with the Toronto Blue Jays.
While it's still early January, it's never too early to start getting ready for the upcoming season. Pitchers and catchers are reporting in just over a month, after all.
Thursday was the deadline for teams and their players that are arbitration eligible to come to terms on their contracts for 2026, and after the A's DFA'd JJ Bleday back in November, and came to terms with backup catcher Austin Wynns earlier that month, Shea Langeliers was the only eligible player for the A's this year.
MLB’s Arbitration deadline has officially passed, culminating in a flurry of activity that saw dozens of arbitration-eligible players reach one-year and multi-year contract agreements with their clubs.
The Braves have claimed left-hander Ken Waldichuk off the Athletics’ waiver wire, as announced by both teams. Infielder Vidal Brujan was designated for assignment to clear space on Atlanta’s 40-man roster.
The trend of signing a bullpen arm and transitioning them into a starter is not new. Maybe amplified recently, but not new. Zack Littell was a product of this strategy in 2024 when the Tampa Bay Rays once again worked their pitching magic, turning him from a middle-of-the-road relief pitcher to a 3.63 ERA, 3.88 FIP starter.
Today is the deadline for players and teams to exchange figures in arbitration — an annual deadline that leads to a slew of one-year deals and, typically, a handful of multi-year deals.
The 2025 Athletics had, at least arguably, a top-10 offense in Major League Baseball. They only finished 12th in runs per game, but their 219 home runs ranked seventh, their .749 OPS ranked eighth, and their 105 wRC+ ranked 10th, as did their 32.3 offensive runs above average (per FanGraphs).
While the A's haven't been terribly active this offseason, they've largely made the additions they're going to make. They've added a number of players on minor-league deals to shore up their depth, while also trading for second baseman Jeff McNeil in a salary dump from the New York Mets, and extending left fielder Tyler Soderstrom.
America's favorite pastime has more memorable performances than any sport. As such, figuring out which pitchers had the best seasons ever is no easy task.
With 2026 Spring Training around the corner, now seems like a good time to take a look at what went down in the winter leagues. The Mexican Winter League was home to several notable names, including the likes of Jose Urquidy, Isaac Paredes, and some other blasts from the past.
The Cubs have claimed left-hander Ryan Rolison off waivers from the White Sox, per ESPN’s Jesse Rogers. The Sox designated Rolison for assignment when they needed to open a 40-man roster spot for free agent signee Sean Newcomb.
The career path of Nick Martinez has been filled with ups and downs. After struggling earlier in his career as a Ranger, Martinez was a somewhat early adopter of the overseas reset route.
The White Sox have added some depth to the rotation already this winter, signing lefties Anthony Kay and Sean Newcomb to respective two-year and one-year contracts ($12MM for Kay; $4.5MM for Newcomb).
The Athletics’ planned move to Las Vegas encountered an unexpected obstacle Tuesday, as a key branding effort tied to the relocation hit a legal roadblock.
The Athletics have been playing Major League Baseball for more than 100 years and yet the longevity was not enough to secure a new trademark in advance of the franchise's future move to Las Vegas.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — College football loves a good Cinderella story. It loves them so much, in fact, that it often refuses to let them grow up. Indiana, under Curt Cignetti, has officially outgrown the label.
Cade Marlowe might have tricked some Seattle Mariners fans in 2023 into thinking he could be the team's everyday left fielder. Now, he's hoping to catch on with one of Seattle's rivals.
The Seattle Mariners fired the opening shots of this Major League Baseball offseason, but they've been relatively quiet since then. Re-signing Josh Naylor to a five-year deal was the most important agenda item for the Mariners, but as of now, they've lost more talent than they've gained.
40 days until pitchers and catchers meet, six weeks until spring training, and 66 days until the World Baseball Classic kicks off. The offseason has been a slow process, but baseball is around the corner.
When it comes to MLB players, there’s a lot of talk about the Hall of Fame. Which players are going to make it? Will somebody like Mike Trout or Shohei Ohtani end up unanimously elected?
