The New York Mets should never be counted out of a free agent’s sweepstakes for financial reasons. But every team occasionally has to exercise caution. After diving headfirst into the Juan Soto sweepstakes and spending a record $765 million on their new superstar outfielder, the Mets still had holes to plug. They built out their…
The reliever market has started to get going in recent days, a good sign for teams looking to improve their bullpen this winter. The Houston Astros, just like every other contending ball club in baseball, could always use another arm. There are options out there for the Astros to pursue if they feel the need to…
After finishing each of the last two seasons with an 83-79 record and in second place in the National League Central, the Chicago Cubs decided to turn up the dial this offseason and have been one of the more active teams.

The Boston Red Sox knew one free agent was more than likely leaving their team before the 2024 season even finished. When closer Kenley Jansen opted to leave the team before the final week of the regular season, the safe assumption became that Jansen would join another team in 2025. That leaves the Red Sox…
The Baltimore Orioles made their agreement with reliever Andrew Kittredge official on Monday, signing him to a reported one-year, $10 million deal after he passed a physical. That meant Baltimore had to make a 40-man roster move to accommodate him and they designated catcher Blake Hunt for assignment.

On his first day on the job as the New England Patriots head coach, Mike Vrabel already knows that the team’s top priority is – and it will make Drake Maye happy to hear. The new Patriots head coach pointed to the offensive line as the team’s top need when asked what he viewed as New England’s top…
Believe it or not, it is possible to make roster moves without actually having a general manager. The Las Vegas Raiders just did that. Now, it wasn’t a game-breaking roster move or anything that will change the way the league is now viewed, blah blah blah. It’s just a simple reserve/futures contract. They did that on Monday….
The Cincinnati Bengals have an uncertain offseason ahead, as the team missed the playoffs for a second consecutive year and posted a 9-8 record in 2024 despite historic seasons from quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase.
