Trevor Cahill, A's Have Mutual Interest In Reunion

Free-agent starting pitcher Trevor Cahill said his agent has talked to the Oakland Athletics about re-signing.

Mets Considering Trading Brandon Nimmo

The New York Mets are considering using outfielder Brandon Nimmo as a centerpiece in a package to acquire Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto. However, no trade is imminent between the two clubs.

Phillies To Consider Dallas Keuchel

With the Philadelphia Phillies losing out on Patrick Corbin and while they still seek a left-handed starter, they will consider free-agent starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel.

The Oakland Raiders are signing free-agent running back C.J. Anderson on Tuesday, according to a source.

The Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins have not had serious trade discussions regarding catcher J.T. Realmuto this winter.

Michael Fulmer's Knee Injury More Serious

In addition to his meniscus being shaved down, Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer (knee) also needed a modified microfracture technique on the bone in his right knee. “I don’t want people thinking I had microfracture surgery, because it wasn’t that bad,” Fulmer said. “They made some bone abrasions on the lateral side to draw […]

The Houston Astros are making significant progress toward a deal with free-agent catcher Robinson Chirinos, according to sources. A deal could already be in place, pending a physical.

Steelers Plan To Use Running-Back-By-Committee

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said it's the team's "intention" to use a running-back-by-committee approach with James Conner (ankle) possibly out multiple weeks with what could be a high ankle sprain.

Noah Syndergaard Unlikely To Be Traded

New York Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen said the trade to acquire second baseman Robinson Cano and closer Edwin Diaz makes it less likely that they will trade starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard, because the "chips are in" to win now.
