From Friday
Gaslamp Ball grades Padres closer Mason Miller an A for 2026, with a 1.67 ERA in 70 innings.
The grade reflects 129 strikeouts, a 0.90 WHIP and a franchise-record 34 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings. Gaslamp Ball docked Miller from A+ to A because he walked 26 batters, often struggling to throw his fastball for strikes. The series rates the roster as of October 18, before the World Series ended.

Yankees' Cody Bellinger wins AL Platinum Glove as the league's top defensive player.

Bellinger played 130 games in the outfield in 2026, 123 of them in left field, and had 21 defensive runs saved, third in baseball. Pete Crow-Armstrong won the National League award.

Nationals reportedly extend center fielder Jacob Young on a four-year, $23 million deal with a fifth-year option.
According to SB Nation, the deal includes an $8 million option for a fifth season, citing a source familiar with the contract. The fan-site writer says the Nationals now have James Wood, Daylen Lile, Dylan Crews and Young under control into the 2030s, which creates a surplus that could be traded. The writer argues a trade of Young is now unlikely, and that Crews has the higher offensive ceiling while Young is the better defender.
