The Mets appear committed to winning, extending Cy Young winner Jacob deGrom and bringing young slugger Pete Alonso up to the majors.

The extensions signed this offseason varied from superstars to players who haven’t even had a big-league at-bat. What gives?

Plenty of tanking teams remain, but MLB 2019 will also have plenty of parity – and a potentially epic final week.

Mike Trout, Bryce Harper and Manny Machado have traveled similar career paths. Who will come closest to living up to the terms of his megadeal?

The greatest player of his generation – perhaps any generation – will be paid like it, by any measure.

After a decade in the making, Bryce Harper agreed to a record contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. The winners and loser of this baseball saga.

Andrew McCutchen says that just because Manny Machado agreed a free-agent recordcontract doesn’t mean players believe the system is functional.

Josh Donaldson, who was injured most of last year, called 2018 a ‘lost season.’ Now with the Braves, he’s out to prove something.

Commissioner Rob Manfred also rejects criticism of MLB clubs not paying up for free agents: “That doesn’t mean teams are not trying.”
