The Yankees’ interest is not surprising, considering their need for starting pitching, as well as the fact the workout was held at their director of health and performance’s (Eric Cressey)...

Like the other major free agents this offseason, Trevor Bauer remains unsigned. Unlike DJ LeMahieu, George Springer and JT Realmuto, however, Bauer hasn’t been quiet about his free agency. The NL Cy Young Award winner said in a YouTube video Sunday night that he wanted a “partnership” with whatever teams he signs with and wants...

Francisco Lindor is headed to Queens, but that hasn’t changed the Yankees’ attitude or timeline regarding their pursuit of DJ LeMahieu. While keeping LeMahieu in The Bronx remains the Yankees’ top priority this offseason — and they continue to have optimism they will ultimately strike a deal — the two sides aren’t close, sources said,...

Francisco Lindor will be introduced as a Met at 11 a.m. on Monday, new owner Steve Cohen said Sunday on Twitter, with Carlos Carrasco’s introduction coming on Tuesday.  Lindor and Carrasco were acquired in a blockbuster trade with the Indians in exchange for shortstops Amed Rosario, Andres Gimenez and a pair of prospects, Isaiah Greene...

Thomas Shea-USA TODAY Sports The Astros are likely to be the favorites to win the AL West next year, but should they falter in the first half of the season, tough decisions will need to be made Imagine that the 2021 trade deadline is approaching and the Astros are on the outside looking in. There is a distinct possibility that they will fail to make the playoffs. What’s to be done? How should general manager James Click act? Barring injuries, this is the worst-cast scenario for next year. As unlikely as it is for this to be reality next summer, it’s not entirely...
