Mike Trout (DH/OF - LAA)

12/9/25 4:26 PM -
Mike Trout remains in the mix for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, but questions linger. Mike Trout, the cornerstone of Team USA’s 2023 World Baseball Classic run, is still under consideration as the roster for the 2026 tournament takes shape. Manager Mark DeRosa said Tuesday that Trout is “in the mix” for one of the final spots, assuming he’s healthy and comfortable with his role. The two-time American League MVP remains in a complicated place for Team USA, which is scheduled to play its first game of the tournament March 6 against Brazil in Houston. A bruised left knee sent him to the injured list in May. It’s the same knee that required meniscus surgery in 2024.

Roki Sasaki (P - LAD)

12/9/25 12:33 PM -
Díaz agrees to $69M, 3-year deal with World Series champion Dodgers, AP source says, leaves Mets. A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that reliever Edwin Díaz has agreed to $69 million, three-year contract with the World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement was subject to a successful physical. A three-time All-Star who turns 32 on March 22, Díaz joins a Dodgers bullpen that struggled last season, causing the team to shift rookie Roki Sasaki to closer in the postseason. Relying on a 97-98 mph fastball and slider, Díaz became a fan favorite at Citi Field, where horns blared and fans danced when he entered games to “Narco” by Blasterjaxx & Timmy Trumpet.
