Enrique Hernandez and the #Dodgers have mutual interest in another contract: www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/12/dodg...

Edwin Diaz going to the Dodgers has the Mets feeling pretty shocked right now. He had indicated to some he wanted to return to the Mets, but according to a source, he chose the Dodgers' offer instead. The Mets offered three years at $66 million and were willing to improve it.

The Dodgers are ruining baseball by signing one closer and Miguel Rojas. Ok

Dodgers deferred $4.5M per year on Edwin Díaz’s deal, per Joel Sherman. Luxury tax hit comes in around $21.1M.

While the San Francisco Giants’ desire to add starting pitching has dominated attention this offseason, they’ve internally prioritized getting better on the bases after a lackluster year.

FanGraphs Depth Charts now has the Orioles 9th in overall projected WAR. They're 3rd in batting WAR (just behind the Yankees and Dodgers), but 20th in pitching WAR. The next steps should be pretty clear. Can't stop now.

David Popkins' approach to hitting is all about finding solutions. If you identify what the true issue is and you take a little bit from everywhere, you’re able to help more people. Bringing this approach to the Blue Jays and the transformational results made him our MLB Coach of the Year.

offseasons can be rough

Consider this payment with interest on a debt the Mets owe to Baltimore for getting two years of Eddie Murray as an RBI machine. Murray, of course, should never have been allowed to retire as anything other than an Oriole, as with Alonso and Queens. Baseball and capitalism are a loveless marriage.
