Around the league…
- The Reds have reportedly tabbed Terry Francona to serve as the team’s skipper for 2025.
- Willy Adames claims that he really was ready to fight Jesse Winker in the parking lot after Game 2 of the Wild Card series, saying that he stood waiting for Winker, but that the Met never showed up.
- Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim has switched agencies, hiring Scott Boras to represent him just a month before he is expected to decline his mutual option and declare free agency.
- Even after being left off the Astros postseason roster, right-hander Justin Verlander is planning to pitch again in 2025.
- Like the Mariners, the Orioles are saying they will increase their player payroll next season.
- The 2025 MLB Draft Lottery odds have been finalized. The Mariners have the 17th-best chance at getting the No. 1 overall pick.
- Baseball truly is a weird sport.
