Dobbins both […]

Astros Open To Trading Carlos Correa

The Houston Astros are considering trades for shortstop Carlos Correa. The 26-year-old can become a free agent after the 2021 season and the Astros know they are unlikely to sign him to a contract extension before that point. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 draft, Correa has been injury prone in his career […]

Dodgers Interested In Brad Hand

The Los Angeles Dodgers are showing interest in free-agent left-handed reliever Brad Hand, according to a source. Hand could fit into the bullpen in Blake Treinen's role if he doesn't re-sign with the team.

The New York Jets placed rookie running back La'Mical Perine (ankle) and kicker Sam Ficken (undisclosed) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Perine and Ficken will miss at least the next three games.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena has been detained in Mexico's Yucatan state after allegations of domestic violence.

Laremy Tunsil Expected Back Tuesday

Houston Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil is expected back at the team's facility on Tuesday after he was inactive in the Week 11 win over the Patriots with a non-COVID-19 illness.

Denzel Ward To Miss A Few Weeks

Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward (calf) is expected to miss a few weeks with a calf strain, according to sources.

The Atlanta Braves signed right-hander Charlie Morton to a one-year, $15 million deal on Tuesday.
