No. 3 in the 30-second version
Yankees will not release DH Giancarlo Stanton, who is entering the final year of his contract.
According to SB Nation, Brian Cashman confirmed the Yankees will keep Stanton, with New York owing $15 million of his 2027 salary and Miami paying the remaining $10 million, though Cashman left room for a midseason move. Max Fried had surgery to remove a bone spur in his throwing elbow and is expected to recover in time for spring training. Cashman said the Yankees will aim to give Aaron Judge more DH time in 2027, though Judge is not particularly enthusiastic about it. New York still needs a hitting coach and a bench coach, with James Rowson a free agent.

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.
