In case you missed today's MLB hot stove news and rumors, here's everything you need to know: 🚨 BIGGEST NEWS ▸ Jake Bauers and the Red Sox agreed on 4 years, $58M (via @JeffPassan). NLCS MVP coming off a .266, 26 HR, .873 OPS year for the champs. Boston loading up after we bounced them in October ▸ Tarik Skubal is expected to sign before the Dec. 1 lockout, and nearly everybody in the game thinks it's the METS. "I don't know who else is really even in the conversation," one NL exec said (via @Feinsand) ▸ He's meeting with the Mets, Dodgers, Padres, Blue Jays and two mystery teams in Orange County next week (via @JonHeyman). The Dodgers don't see themselves going anywhere near the $400M he could get (via @Alden_Gonzalez). 2.72 ERA, 186 K between Detroit and LA this year. (Him in Queens for a decade is a scary thought) ⚾️ YANKEES ▸ Ryan McMahon is on the block, and we know we'd have to eat some of his $16M or take a bad contract back to move him (via @JonHeyman). He hit .213 with 11 HR this year. Time to move on honestly ▸ Same report: a rival GM said we'd listen on Luis García Jr. too, but a Yankees person called that "BS." He hit 30 HR between DC and the Bronx. Keep him ▸ NEW on Seager: he'd be open to approving a trade if it's the right fit, per a source with knowledge of his thinking (via @Alden_Gonzalez). We already know we've talked to Texas. Still owed $155M over five years though (gulp) ▸ Cashman admitted Spencer Jones "probably profiles better on the corner," even with Jones projecting as our CF right now. A righty-hitting CF to platoon with him is a possibility (via @jorgecastillo). .742 OPS in 86 games this year ▸ Cam Schlittler finished 4th in AL MVP voting and Ben Rice 9th. Yordan won it unanimously ⚾️ JAZZ CHISHOLM JR. ▸ Eleven teams have talked with Jazz's reps, and multiple in-person meetings are getting set up for next week (via @jonmorosi). The Padres have at least discussed him internally (via @sdutKevinAcee). .231 with 19 HR and 41 SB for us this year. (Somebody's paying for the 30-30 guy) ⚾️ BRAVES ▸ Atlanta gave Evan Phillips 3 years, $35M (via @ByRobertMurray). Big money for a reliever. He's got a 2.31 ERA since 2022 and that's with a Tommy John surgery in 2025. (Bednar's people are smiling) ⚾️ TIGERS ▸ Detroit is showing interest in Shota Imanaga, among other free agent starters (via @jonmorosi). 3.77 ERA over 174 1/3 innings for the Cubs. They need arms BAD after losing Skubal and Mize last summer ⚾️ ASTROS ▸ Don't expect Houston to trade Jeremy Peña, Christian Walker or Isaac Paredes until there's a new CBA, since all three have just one year of control left and nobody knows how many games 2027 will have (via @Alden_Gonzalez). Which means the unanimous AL MVP might be playing left field. (Not ideal) ⚾️ PADRES ▸ San Diego has gotten calls on catchers Freddy Fermin and Luis Campusano, and one of them is likely getting traded (via @sdutKevinAcee). Campusano had a .796 OPS in 71 games. We literally need a righty bat behind the plate, just saying ⚾️ KBO ▸ Korean Series MVP Ja-Wook Koo hired an agent to try and make the jump to MLB (via @Feinsand). He's 33 and a career .322 hitter in the KBO If Skubal ends up in Queens and we're still trying to give McMahon away, that's gonna be a LONG winter in the Bronx Follow us for more updates :)

In case you missed today's MLB hot stove news and rumors, here's everything you need to know: 🚨 BIGGEST NEWS ▸ MLB is preparing for the players to dissolve their own union. The league has planned for a scenario where the MLBPA files a "disclaimer of interest" during the lockout, which would let players sue on antitrust grounds and argue the lockout is an illegal group boycott (via @jareddiamond) ▸ The NFL and NBA unions have both used this move in past lockouts. Antitrust losses carry TREBLE damages, meaning owners could owe three times whatever players prove they lost. The CBA expires Dec. 1, and this fight could end up in a federal courtroom. ⚾️ YANKEES ▸ We've had dialogue with the Rangers about Corey Seager (via @JonHeyman). He turns 33 in April, is owed $155M over the next five years and has full no-trade rights. He hit .227 with 20 HR and a .736 OPS in 102 games, then had a bone spur removed from his elbow in October. (Cashman and a nine-figure contract, what could go wrong) ▸ Same report: we've looked at right-handed-hitting catchers, Carson Kelly among them, to pair with Austin Wells. Wells hit .186 with a .624 OPS in 122 games. Kelly put up a .336 OBP for the Cubs. ▸ NEW on Alec Bohm: the Yankees AND Mets are among the clubs that met with his reps at the GM Meetings (via @Ken_Rosenthal and @WillSammon). Heyman had the interest first. This is the first reported sit-down, and now there's a crosstown bidder. Career .273 hitter, 85 HR, turned 30 in August. ▸ Cam Schlittler made the All-MLB First Team one night after his unanimous Cy Young. 1.95 ERA, 239 K, 7.0 bWAR. That's our ACE. ⚾️ RED SOX ▸ Boston is shopping Jarren Duran and has inquired about Seiya Suzuki (via @PeteAbe). Rough time to sell: Duran hit .207/.266/.361 this year, even with 20 HR and 21 SB. Interested teams could just wait and see if Boston non-tenders him with an arb projection around $11M (via @Ken_Rosenthal and @WillSammon) ▸ The Red Sox are also pursuing Ryan Jeffers (via @JonHeyman), who is turning down Minnesota's qualifying offer (via @nightengalejr). He hit .256/.353/.461 with 14 HR in 92 games. (They traded for Adley Rutschman this year, for the record) ⚾️ METS ▸ The Mets are hiring Derek Johnson in an advisory role (via @WillSammon). He was the Reds' pitching coach and ran Milwaukee's staff before that. ▸ They've also checked in on A.J. Minter, the same lefty they traded to Minnesota at the deadline (via @JonHeyman). 2.56 ERA over 45 2/3 innings between the two clubs. (Seller's remorse, three months later) ⚾️ ASTROS ▸ Asked how he responds when teams call about Yordan Alvarez, new GM Randy Flores said, "I just laugh" (via @jonmorosi). Yordan hit .316/.432/.601 with 42 HR, won the AL Hank Aaron Award last night and is up for AL MVP tonight against Junior Caminero and Bobby Witt Jr. ▸ Houston is in on Dustin May along with the Cubs, White Sox and Padres (via @jonmorosi). Flores was in the Cardinals' front office when St. Louis signed May last winter. He finished with a 4.70 ERA over 145 2/3 innings. (Old friends get the first call) ⚾️ ROCKIES ▸ Rival teams believe Colorado is more willing to move Hunter Goodman now than it was at the deadline (via @jonmorosi). Right-handed-hitting catcher, 41 HR, .839 OPS, controlled through 2029. We literally just said we want a righty catcher. Pick up the phone, Cash. (Yes, we know about Coors) ⚾️ TERUAKI SATO ▸ Add Texas to the Sato list. The Rangers have done extensive background work on him, but they'd likely have to move a big contract to afford him (via @Ken_Rosenthal and @WillSammon). Wonder whose. ▸ The Phillies want him as a corner outfielder (via @MattGelb) and Arizona has done its homework too (via @Ken_Rosenthal, @WillSammon and @katiejwoo). Seattle is viewed as an unlikely fit (via @A_Jude). 39 HR and 106 RBI for Hanshin this year. ⚾️ MARINERS ▸ Seattle checked in with Miami about Otto Lopez, and the Marlins made it clear they aren't motivated to trade him (via @A_Jude). .305 average, 34 SB, two more years of control. ▸ Randy Arozarena's camp has been seeking something in the six-year, $150M+ range (via @RyanDivish and @A_Jude). He's entering his age-32 season. (Boras doing Boras things) Under three weeks until the lockout freezes everything. Seager, a catcher, Bohm, a bullpen arm: if Cashman wants any of it, he has to move before Dec. 1. We'll believe it when we see it. Follow us for more updates :)

In case you missed today's MLB hot stove news and rumors, here's everything you need to know: 🚨 BIGGEST NEWS ▸ Gunnar Henderson is on the Orioles' list of players who could be moved. He finished fourth in the 2024 MVP voting with 7.0 WAR, and his home runs have dropped from 37 to about 20 a year the last two seasons while his slugging fell from .529 to .420. Baltimore already gave up on Adley Rutschman last summer, so Henderson could be the next homegrown star out the door (via @BNightengale) ⚾️ YANKEES ▸ Cashman and the rest of the league are in Las Vegas for the GM Meetings, and the clock is real. Transactions freeze when the CBA expires at 11:59 p.m. ET on Dec. 1, roughly three weeks away. The Yankees mostly sat out November the last time a lockout loomed (via the NY Post's Greg Joyce) ▸ Jazz Chisholm Jr. is a pending free agent, and executives are openly wondering whether anyone gives him more than a two-year deal. Nightengale says he may need an opt-out so he can hit the market again and rebuild his value (via @BNightengale) ▸ If free agency gets cut to five years for 30-year-olds, Ben Rice would reach it after 2029. That's one of the ideas floating around the CBA fight (via @BNightengale) We need ONE real move out of this front office before Dec. 1. Not a press conference, a MOVE. ⚾️ METS ▸ New York already has $244.4M on the books for 2027, and a possible salary cap hangs over every Tarik Skubal conversation. Nightengale still has the Dodgers as favorites to re-sign him, with the Mets, Cubs, Padres and Blue Jays as possible surprise teams (via @BNightengale) ⚾️ PHILLIES ▸ Trea Turner and Brandon Marsh are available, while Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper are staying put. Philadelphia badly wants a third baseman and a left fielder, and Dave Dombrowski wants to do more than fire a few coaches (via @BNightengale) ⚾️ RANGERS ▸ Texas has been told payroll will not go up, so Chris Young is letting teams know Corey Seager, Jacob deGrom and Nathan Eovaldi are all available. All three have full no-trade protection. Seager has $155M left over five years, coming off 20 HR, 51 RBI and a .736 OPS with elbow surgery in October (via @BNightengale) ⚾️ D-BACKS ▸ Arizona wants to move Ketel Marte and now regrets keeping him last winter, but he has full no-trade rights. Nightengale called it a messy divorce (via @BNightengale) ⚾️ RED SOX ▸ Jarren Duran slashed .207/.266/.361 last year, second worst among qualified hitters, and Nightengale says he "should be as good as gone." Boston doesn't want to pay a projected $11M in arbitration for what may be a fourth outfielder (via @BNightengale) ⚾️ AROUND THE LEAGUE ▸ Logan Gilbert, Steven Kwan, Joe Ryan and Sandy Alcántara are unlikely to be moved for prospects this month because teams don't know what 2027 looks like. Pending free agents could be traded for EACH OTHER to spread the risk (via @jonmorosi) This is the most wide open pre-lockout week in years and the Yankees have a lot to prove.
