Ranking All 14 NFL Playoff Teams By Toughest Paths to Win The Super Bowl

The postseason picture is set. However, not all paths are created equal. In this ranking, we will determine which teams have the easiest and toughest paths in the postseason. Let’s dive in!


Tim Mayza Could be an Option for Red Sox

According to Chris Cotillo of Mass Live, the Red Sox could look to target left-hander Tim Mayza in free agency. With Justin Wilson potentially considering a return, the Red Sox could look to sign Mayza to fill his role. Last season, the left-hander logged only 16 2/3 innings of work as he was sidelined for […]

The Chicago Cubs remain interested in improving their third base position and continue to show interest in top infield free agents Alex Bregman and Bo Bichette.

Royals Showing Interest in Brendan Donovan

The Kansas City Royals have shown interest in acquiring Cardinals infielder Brendan Donovan, according to Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic.

Richardson made his MLB debut during the 2023 campaign, but logged his highest workload this past summer. In 2025, […]


Rockies Claim Keegan Thompson Off Waivers

The Colorado Rockies have claimed right-handed pitcher Keegan Thompson. The 30-year-old right-hander signed a contract with the Reds earlier this offseason but was designated for assignment in late December. Thompson began his MLB career with the Chicago Cubs and was selected in the third round of the 2017 MLB Draft out of Auburn. During his […]


Ryan Rolison Claimed by Cubs

The Chicago Cubs have claimed left-handed pitcher Ryan Rolison off waivers from the Colorado Rockies, according to Bruce Levine of 670 The Score.

Cristian Hernandez Traded to Marlins

The Chicago Cubs have traded infield prospect Cristian Hernandez to the Miami Marlins in the package that sent Edward Cabrera to the North Side of Chicago. Hernandez was sent to Miami alongside Cubs' top prospect Owen Caissie and Edgardo DeLeon. Hernandez joined the Cubs' organization in 2021 but did not make his Low-A debut until […]


Owen Caissie Shipped to Miami as Centerpiece of Trade

Chicago Cubs top outfield prospect Owen Caissie was the centerpiece in the trade that sent right-handed pitcher Edward Cabrera to the Cubs on Wednesday afternoon.

Cubs Officially Acquire Edward Cabrera From Marlins

According to Will Sammon, the deal to send right-handed pitcher Edward Cabrera to the Chicago Cubs has been finalized. In return, the Cubs are sending prospects Owen Caissie, Cristian Hernandez, and Edgardo DeLeon to Miami.

Olney noted that the Blue Jays remain in high interest for the top remaining free agents, and if Tucker is looking for the largest contract possible, the Blue Jays would likely […]


Yankees, Cody Bellinger have "Sizeable Gap" in Contract Discussions

The New York Yankees and free agent outfielder Cody Bellinger have a "sizeable gap" in their current contract negotiations, according to Buster Olney of ESPN.com. Bellinger enjoyed an impressive debut season in the Bronx but has been unable to come to an agreement with the Yankees on an extension. Last season, Bellinger posted a .272/.334/.480 […]


Ranger Suarez "Makes a Lot of Sense" for the Mets

Buster Olney of ESPN.com reports that it "seems inevitable" that either starting pitchers Ranger Suarez or Framber Valdez will sign with the New York Mets, given their current rotation. Olney noted that Suarez "makes a lot of sense" in New York, given that he has already pitched for a big-market team during his career. Before […]


Cardinals Designate Zak Kent for Assignment

The St. Louis Cardinals have designated right-handed pitcher Zak Kent for assignment on Tuesday afternoon. In a corresponding move, the Cardinals acquired left-handed pitcher Justin Bruihl from the Cleveland Guardians. Kent made his MLB debut last summer with the Cleveland Guardians.

Sherman noted that the 35-year-old pitcher has been training as a starting pitcher in the offseason and hopes to transition from being a primary relief option. Ramirez began […]


Kaleb Ort Designated for Assignment

The Houston Astros have designated right-handed pitcher Kaleb Ort for assignment. This transaction opened a spot on the roster for recently acquired pitcher Tatsuya Imai. Ort has spent each of the last two campaigns with the Astros operating as a relief pitcher. In 2025, the right-hander logged 46 innings to the tune of a 4.89 […]


Orioles Remain "In Pursuit" of Another Starting Pitcher

According to Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic, the Baltimore Orioles remain "in pursuit" of another starting pitcher.

In addition, they still have the prospect capital to pursue one of […]


Trade Involving Ketel Marte Remains a "Long Shot"

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte has had his name in many trade discussions throughout the offseason. However, general manager Mike Hazen is expected to move on from the previous trade discussions and plan for Marte to remain on the roster for the 2026 season. According to Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic, […]


Randal Grichuk Linked to Philadelphia

Free agent outfielder Randal Grichuk has been linked to the Philadelphia Phillies, according to Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic.

Pirates Expressing Interest in Eugenio Suarez

According to Jason Mackey of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Pirates have expressed interest in signing third baseman Eugenio Suarez. According to Mackey, the team was initially interested in signing third baseman Kazuma Okamoto, but he inked a contract with Toronto over the weekend. As a result, the Pirates will now shift their attention to the […]


Brian Serven Inks Minor-League Deal With Athletics

The Athletics have signed catcher Brian Serven to a minor-league contract. Serven spent the entire 2025 campaign with the Detroit Tigers.
