LOS ANGELES - Both the Yankees and Mets will look into a trade for suddenly available superstar Juan Soto, sources tell The Post.

In stretching out Trea Turner's $300 million contract over 11 years, the Phillies diluted the average annual salary for luxury-tax purposes and payroll flexibility. It's the approach they took four years ago in signing Bryce Harper. The length of Turner's deal, like Harper's 13-year pact, was predicated on economics, not baseball. But the Phillies…

The moment Juan Soto declined a 15-year, $440 million extension from the Washington Nationals was the one that now makes him available in trade to the Texas Rangers and all 29 other MLB clubs. What would it take to land the 23-year-old generational talent? An absolute ransom, and nothing less. Think about the best trade package of prospects and…

A story that's made for a Hollywood ending, Mets slugger Pete Alonso is making his way to the West Coast to try and lock down an unprecedented third Home Run Derby trophy in a row.

Business remains brisk in the starting pitching marketplace. While the Cardinals have yet to make a move to improve their rotation quality or depth, other franchises have been busy.

Wait, Mets? What happened to the Giants? That deal fell through because of something that turned up in Correa's physical, and the Mets stepped up with an offer one year and $35 million shy of the original (final terms: 12 years, $315 million). It was an unlikely fit given that the Mets already have a franchise shortstop in Francisco Lindor, but now…

Now that the free-agent market is mostly settled, the next major player movement to monitor will be trades.

As a Cleveland native growing up with the 1990s Indians, I got to watch a lineup that had Jim Thome, Manny Ramirez, Kenny Lofton, Roberto Alomar, Carlos Baerga, David Justice, Albert Belle, Sandy Alomar and many other great hitters. It's no wonder I became such a huge baseball fan. I saw something special every day. The Los Angeles Dodgers have the…

Texas is a long shot to win it all, and we can't recommend betting on the Rangers to miraculously win the World Series in 2022. However, bettors and bookies have taken notice of the Rangers' offseason spending, and appear to feel confident that the $500 million additions of second baseman Marcus Semien and shortstop Corey Seager will make Texas…

The 2022 MLB season will undoubtedly be the season of Aaron Judge. Not only is the towering Yankees outfielder the frontrunner for AL MVP and leader on the current best team in baseball, but he's also already the focal point of the offseason rumor mill. Just as the season was beginning in April, Aaron Judge turned down a seven-year deal worth…

There has been plenty of disappointment around Baltimore as the Orioles have not had an active offseason in what seemed like a make-or-break free agency for the future of the squad and the sake of the 2023 team. It especially seemed like an offseason where adding top-of-the-rotation pitching would be a primary goal for the team but that has yet to…

MLB odds series for our Rangers Mariners prediction and pick. Glenn Otto takes the bump for the Rangers, while Chris Flexen gets the ball for the Mariners. Glenn Otto has a 5.40 ERA.

There were 11 different players who received a contract of $100 million or more in free agency last offseason, led by Corey Seager who signed a 10-year, $325 million deal with the Texas Rangers. That list will likely be shorter this offseason, but there are still a number of high-profile players set to hit the open market, including New York…

The Texas Rangers have come out swinging these past two off-seasons. Last year, they added infielders Corey Seager and Marcus Semien, as well as Jon Gray, a decent pitcher that had been stuck in Coors. In the last few months, Texas added Jake Odorizzi via trade, brought back Martín Pérez Andrew Heaney, and made a huge splash by signing Jacob…

The perception that Corey Seager rediscovered his pre-surgery form last year isn't entirely accurate. He was actually better than he was before. Which makes sense. Seager was just entering his physical prime. When the two-time All-Star celebrates his next birthday later this month, he will turn 27. Mookie Betts may be the face of the Dodgers…
