MLB GMs weigh bigger bets in Las Vegas than those at tables

The New York Mets have signed closer Edwin Díaz to a record $102 million, five-year contract. MLB's major league economic rules are in place through the 2026 season. The GMs are meeting in Las Vegas. They will gather again for the winter meetings in San Diego from Dec. 5-7. The last year's meetings at Orlando, Florida, were canceled because of the lockout. Los Angeles Angels general manager Perry Minasian ruled out trading two-way star Shohei Ohtani. Jacob deGrom opted out of his contract and will be a free agent.

Predicting Each MLB Team's Face of the Franchise in 2026

Who will be the face of the franchise for every MLB team three years from now?

Trea Turner settling in for long future in Philadelphia

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) - The past few years have been a bit of a whirlwind for Trea Turner.
