BREAKING: The Memphis Grizzlies are trading star forward Jaren Jackson Jr., John Konchar, Jock Landale and Vince Williams Jr. to the Utah Jazz for Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang and three future first-round picks, sources tell ESPN.
Third baseman Alex Bregman and the Chicago Cubs are in agreement on a five-year, $175 million contract, sources tell ESPN. One year after their failed pursuit of Bregman in free agency, the Cubs land one of the biggest bats of the winter.
Closer Kyle Finnegan and the Detroit Tigers are in agreement on a two-year, $19 million contract, pending physical, sources tell ESPN. Finnegan was excellent after joining the Tigers at the trade deadline and returns on a multiyear deal. First on the agreement: @ByRobertMurray.
I know it’s been awhile since he’s played OF and he’s never been in a corner, but man does this feel like someone the Cubs should pursue.
Insanely team-friendly deal for a player of his caliber and another left-handed bat to insert right in with Tucker presumptively gone.
@DavidEsser_ Burnes winning over him in ‘21 was utterly horrific work. And even though Sale deserved it last year I thought Wheeler would earn more first place votes.
It’s almost becoming erasure at this point but he’s been the best pitcher of the decade and it’s not close.
