The New York Yankees have made several roster upgrades after a disappointing 2023 season, but questions remain about how their bullpen might look on Opening Day. Jordan Shusterman, an MLB analyst for Fox Sports, proposed a trade that could answer that by seeing the Yankees swap shortstop Oswald Peraza, a top-100 prospect in all of MLB last year, for the Miami Marlins’ Tanner Scott, a left-handed reliever with seven years of big-league experience under his belt. “Scott … was one of baseball’s best relievers last year, but he is…
Offseason rumors have been swirling incessantly regarding a potential deal between the New York Yankees and free agent pitcher Blake Snell. Writing for NBC Sports Chicago, Peter Marzano predicted Snell would opt for a long-term deal with the Yankees, ultimately agreeing to six years at $150 million. “The Yankees do seem to be a team that will eventually open the checkbook for Snell,” Marzano noted. “Battling in perhaps baseball’s most competitive division after already making a blockbuster move to acquire Juan Soto, the Bronx Bombers may feel like adding another Cy Young Award-winner to their rotation … could be the knockout punch needed…

UNC (33–21) opens round-robin play Tuesday at 3 p.m. against Georgia Tech (30–24) at Durham Bulls Athletic Park (ACC Network), with junior right-hander Max Carlson (4–2, 6.20) starting for UNC…

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera and right-handed reliever Alex Wilson weren’t happy about Seattle Mariners star Robinson Canó’s 80-game suspension, for different reasons. Major League Baseball announced Tuesday that Canó, an eight-time All-Star, has been suspended 80 games for violating the game’s drug policy.
