The Chicago Cubs pulled off a franchise-changing move on Saturday night. After weeks of rumors linking them to Alex Bregman, they finally sealed the deal.

Yankees reporter Bryan Hoch wrote, "In theory, Bichette could open the season at shortstop while Anthony Volpe recovers from left shoulder surgery. But scouts believe Bichette profiles better long-term at second base or third base, positions currently occupied by Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Ryan McMahon."

Any contract negotiations between the Yankees and All-Star outfielder Cody Bellinger are "at an impasse," reports ESPN. Perhaps more importantly, the Yankees, who were previously of the mindset that Bellinger was attainable, are now reportedly looking toward 2026 under the belief that they won't have Bellinger.

The wounds were still fresh at the conclusion of the American League Division Series when Cody Bellinger unbuttoned his pinstriped Yankees jersey and said he’d “absolutely” be interested in putting it back on.

The New York Yankees are no longer expecting to reach a contract resolution with free agent outfielder Cody Bellinger, according to ESPN's Buster Olney.

The Milwaukee Brewers haven’t made a final decision on a trade for Freddy Peralta, but if they do move him, the return has to be something great, considering they’d be dealing a controllable, top-of-the-rotation arm.
