No. 2 in the 30-second version
Phillies are reportedly eyeing free-agent infielder Ha-Seong Kim as insurance at shortstop.
Dave Dombrowski told Trea Turner he must be better at shortstop or the team may move him, and Turner has a full no-trade clause and seven more years at $190 million. Kim has played mostly shortstop in six major league seasons and was signed by Atlanta to a one-year, $20 million deal last December. That plan fell apart when Kim tore a tendon in his right middle finger after slipping on ice. Other options mentioned include Bryson Stott, prospects Aidan Miller and Bryan Rincon, and Edmundo Sosa, who is a free agent seeking a long-term deal.

Braves sign former Dodgers reliever Evan Phillips to a three-year, $35 million contract.
Phillips, 32, will make $11 million in 2027 and 2028 and $13 million in 2029, and the Braves said he will donate 1% of his salary to their charitable foundation. He posted a 3.46 ERA in 31 games for the Dodgers in 2026 after returning from Tommy John surgery, and he had not allowed a run in 17 career postseason appearances. The Braves were looking for late-inning help after closer Raisel Iglesias became a free agent.

Astros name Brad Ausmus manager, a former Houston catcher who was Yankees bench coach.
Ausmus, 57, previously managed the Tigers from 2014 to 2017 and the Angels in 2019, according to The Crawfish Boxes, a fan blog. The Astros' general manager Randy Flores announced the hire, and a press conference was scheduled for Friday at 10 AM. Lone Star Ball, a fan blog, reports Ausmus is close with former teammate Jeff Bagwell, an advisor to owner Jim Crane, which raises questions about how much power Flores has.
