Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (elbow) has started a normal offseason conditioning program and is throwing up to 105 feet without symptoms, according to the team.

Mets Re-Sign Tommy Hunter, Sean Reid-Foley

The New York Mets re-signed right-handed relievers Tommy Hunter and Sean Reid-Foley to minor-league deals on Tuesday. Both pitchers have been with the team the last two seasons, but they both missed significant time due to injuries.

Nomar Mazara Signs Minor-League Deal With O's

The Baltimore Orioles agreed to a minor-league deal with free-agent outfielder Nomar Mazara on Tuesday. The San Diego Padres designated Mazara for assignment in late August and he cleared waivers.

Russell Gage Has Just One Catch On Monday Night

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage caught his only target for an 11-yard gain in the 17-16 come-from-behind win over the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. Gage was playing for the first time since Week 7 due to a hamstring injury, so it shouldn't have been a huge surprise that he played a […]

Cowboys Not Confident In Odell Beckham Jr.'s Health

The Dallas Cowboys met with free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) on Monday and will continue to meet "to make sure we cover all the things that are important to him and important to us," according to owner Jerry Jones. The biggest question of all is the health of Beckham after he tore his […]

Titans Fire General Manager Jon Robinson

The Tennessee Titans fired general manager Jon Robinson on Tuesday. It's a surprising development, as Robinson has led the team to playoff appearances in four of the last five seasons. The Titans were the AFC's top seed last year before they were upset by the Cincinnati Bengals in the Divisional Round. Robinson had done a […]

Greg Dulcich Playing A Receiver Role

Denver Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said the team's offense has been successful with rookie tight end Greg Dulcich lined out wide. "We've been efficient in some of our bigger packages, whether it be 12, 21 — when Andrew Beck was there — and our 13 package has been very efficient also with Dulcich playing […]

Jordan Love Could Start Games Down The Stretch

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst hinted on Monday that quarterback Jordan Love could make some starts to close out the season, referring to "offseason decisions" awaiting him.

Twins Are All In On Re-Signing Carlos Correa

The Minnesota Twins are all in on trying to re-sign shortstop Carlos Correa and have already made multiple contract offers to him. Correa opted out of his $35.1 million option for the 2023 season, but they're trying to bring him back on varying contract offers that have ranged from six to 10 years in length. […]

Yankees Expected To Meet With Brandon Nimmo

The New York Yankees are expected to meet with free-agent outfielder Brandon Nimmo at the Winter Meetings this week in San Diego. The Yankees are looking for two outfielders, so they could sign both Nimmo and Aaron Judge, although that would also bloat their budget considerably. If the Yankees sign both Nimmo and Judge, they'd […]

Johan Camargo Still A Free Agent

Many teams are checking in on free-agent infielder Johan Camargo, who is currently playing in the Dominican Republic for Las Aguilas. Camargo was believed to have signed a minor-league deal with the Minnesota Twins last week, but that didn't end up happening and he's still available.

Cubs Could Sign Two Star Shortstops

The Chicago Cubs' interest in the free-agent shortstop market isn't a secret, but according to a source, there's a chance that they could sign two of the three remaining star shortstops, likely Xander Bogaerts and Dansby Swanson. The Cubs also met with Carlos Correa on Monday at the Winter Meetings in San Diego. MLB.com's Mark […]

Carlos Estevez Agrees With Angels

The Los Angeles Angels agreed to a two-year, $7 million deal with free-agent right-hander Carlos Estevez on Monday. The 29-year-old reliever has only struck out 23.6 percent of the batters he's faced in six major-league seasons with the Colorado Rockies, making him a low-upside fantasy reliever. Estevez had a career-low 3.47 ERA (4.08 FIP), a […]

Cubs Meet With Carlos Correa

The Chicago Cubs met with free-agent shortstop Carlos Correa on Monday, according to a source. The shortstop market got a big boost when the Philadelphia Phillies signed Trea Turner to an 11-year, $300 million deal on Monday. The Cubs seem unlikely to spend big bucks on the free-agent market as they rebuild, so it remains […]

Cardinals Interested In Trading For Sean Murphy

The St. Louis Cardinals could very well trade for a catcher this offseason, and Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy is atop their list, according to two sources. Murphy has been front and center in trade talks early in the offseason, and he could end up being moved at this week's Winter Meetings in San Diego. […]

Rockies Talking With Cody Bellinger

The Colorado Rockies like free-agent outfielder Cody Bellinger and have begun conversations with his representatives at the Winter Meetings this week in San Diego. The Rockies would ideally like a short-term deal as they search for an offensive-minded center fielder that is preferably left-handed. Bellinger checks all those boxes. With Brandon Nimmo looking for a […]

Cardinals Interested In Dansby Swanson

The St. Louis Cardinals are among the teams with interest in free-agent shortstop Dansby Swanson. If Swanson doesn't re-sign with his hometown Atlanta Braves, the Cardinals and Chicago Cubs are possibilities to land him. The Cardinals have been very active in the shortstop market and could also look at signing Xander Bogaerts. Adding a player […]

Carlos Rodon Seeking A Six-Year Deal

Free-agent left-hander Carlos Rodon is reportedly seeking a six-year deal in his talks with interested teams, and he could secure a deal around $30 million per year.

The Oakland Athletics appear close to trading catcher Sean Murphy, but the Atlanta Braves won't be the team to land him, according to a source. The St. Louis Cardinals, Tampa Bay Rays, Cleveland Guardians and Boston Red Sox are among the teams that have been connected to Murphy in recent weeks. The Braves were once […]

Marlins Not Listening On Sandy Alcantara

The Miami Marlins won't listen to trade offers on Cy Young winner Sandy Alcantara this offseason, but they will listen on "almost anyone" else. Beyond Pablo Lopez, the Marlins will listen on Jesus Luzardo, Edward Cabrera and other starters. Miami has an abundance of arms in a market where starters' values are sky high, and […]

David Bakhtiari Could Be Out A While

Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari (appendix) recently underwent an appendectomy and could miss extended time. "From what I'm told, it could be a while," head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday. The 31-year-old had the surgery last Friday and missed the Week 13 win over the Chicago Bears, and it looks like he'll […]

Tyron Smith To Be Designated To Return From IR

The Dallas Cowboys will designate offensive tackle Tyron Smith (knee) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday, which will open up his 21-day practice window. Smith won't have any padded practices this week, but his return for the Dallas offense this year would be a big boost. The 31-year-old suffered an avulsion fracture in his […]

Austin Jackson On Injured Reserve, Dolphins Sign Eric Fisher

The Miami Dolphins placed offensive tackle Austin Jackson (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Monday and signed former No. 1 overall pick Eric Fisher in a corresponding move, according to league sources. This will be Jackson's second stint on the Injured Reserve this year due to an ankle injury, so there's a chance we won't see […]

Mike White Will Get Another Start In Week 14

New York Jets quarterback Mike White is going to remain the team's starter under center for the foreseeable future, including in Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills. Things could change if White has some poor performances in the coming weeks, but the Jets don't expect that to happen. The Jets continue to say that benched […]

Bengals Expect Joe Mixon To Clear Concussion Protocol

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (concussion) has one final hurdle to clear in the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Zac Taylor, and the team expects Mixon to clear it early this week. "There just hasn't been contact yet, that's the last hurdle to clear," Taylor said. Mixon suffered a concussion in Week […]

Leonard Fournette, Russell Gage Active Against Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (hip) and wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) are both active on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints. Fournette suffered a hip-pointer injury in Week 10 and will be returning for the first time since then on Monday night. The 27-year-old's return will hurt the overall fantasy upside […]

Cameron Brate Inactive On Monday Night

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (illness) is officially inactive for the Monday night game against the New Orleans Saints. It comes as a bit of a surprise after Brate returned to a full practice on Saturday, but he'll miss the game anyway while being under the weather. The 31-year-old, who still hasn't scored […]

Ravens Sign Brett Hundley

The Baltimore Ravens signed quarterback Brett Hundley to their practice squad on Monday after the injury to Lamar Jackson (knee) in the Week 13 win over the Denver Broncos.
