Closer Robert Suarez has signed a three-year, $45 million contract with the Atlanta Braves, the team announced Thursday..

Suarez, who led the National League this season with 40 saves in 45 chances, became a free agent in early November after opting out of $8 million options for 2026 and 2027.

I was surprised with Alonso going to Baltimore. However, they have Gunner Henderson, Adley, Rutschman, and Jackson Holliday. Alonso is a veteran presence and his power will help the Orioles. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

The White Sox are adding a major power bat to their lineup, reaching agreement on a two-year, $34 million contract with Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand on Sunday. The team has not confirmed the deal.

Why on Earth would any good player decide to sign with the White Sox?! Do they not have newspapers in Japan?!

I wonder if when the "not-the-Sacramento" Athletics make the move to Gambletown whether they will keep the same Green & Gold (well, they officially call it "Gold", but, c'mon, it is really just plain ol' "Yellow") team colours.

Baltimore Orioles season ticket deposits for the 2026 season.
New and improved.

I'm thinking about attending 13 Dodger home games in 2026.
I'm thinking about attending 31 Angels home games in 2026.
And for San Diego Padres: None. Not even for the Y*nkee$ visit.

So, other than Tatsuya Imai going to the Astroboys, there has been no other news in MLB-dom this year?!
