No. 1 in the 30-second version
Mets' David Stearns says Kodai Senga will prepare as a starter in 2027, as teams reportedly show trade interest.
Per SB Nation, Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic reported that multiple teams have expressed interest in trading Senga, who was moved to the bullpen mid-2026 and thrived there. The 33-year-old right-hander has one year and $14 million left on his contract, plus a club option for 2028. The Mets' 2027 rotation is in flux, and the team is reportedly interested in upgrading it, with a meeting planned with Tarik Skubal.

No. 2 in the 30-second version
Mets president David Stearns predicts Marcus Semien will rebound from a poor first season in Queens.
Semien posted a .620 OPS and struggled defensively, finishing at minus-9 outs above average according to Statcast, and he still has $46 million left on his contract over the next two seasons. Stearns said the plan is to keep Bo Bichette at third base, and Brett Baty remains an option at second base alongside prospects.

No. 3 in the 30-second version
Mets president David Stearns says improving the rotation is a top priority as Tarik Skubal talks swirl.
As Jon Heyman first reported, Skubal will meet with Mets officials next week, but Stearns declined to address the pursuit. The Mets, who won 74 games and have MLB's second-highest payroll, have rotation pieces including Nolan McLean, Christian Scott, Zac Thornton, Sean Manaea and Tylor Megill, who is returning from Tommy John rehab. Stearns also said Kodai Senga, a potential trade candidate, will head to spring training as a starter.

Venable the 6th White Sox skipper to win Manager of the Year.

He is the first person ever to win three times in a row. The Brewers have been smashing preseason expectations for several years.

Mets are set to meet with free agent ace Tarik Skubal next week in California, according to ESPN.
USA TODAY Sports reports Skubal is expected to break the record for the biggest contract ever given to a pitcher, currently Yoshinobu Yamamoto's $325 million deal with the Dodgers. Skubal had a 2.61 ERA in 10 starts for Los Angeles after the Tigers traded him at the deadline. He is widely expected to sign before the likely lockout beginning December 1.

Tigers agree to a one-year deal with reliever Emilio Pagán, according to ESPN.
Jon Heyman reported the deal at $11.5 million, while MLB.com said $11 million, so the value is not settled. Pagán, 35, declined a $10 million player option with Cincinnati to sign in Detroit, according to an SB Nation analysis. That analysis flagged Pagán's home run rate as a concern for the Tigers.
