Mets Prefer Trade Market To Free Agency In Rotation Search

Alex Bregman to Diamondbacks rumors pick up

Pirates Could Spend $30-40MM This Offseason

General manager Ben Cherington said yesterday that the front office has "more flexibility than they've had in [any] other offseasons" since he was hired going into the 2020 season. That might enable them to make multiple additions from the middle tiers of free agency. Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports that the Bucs could commit between $30-40MM to their 2026 payroll.
