11/22 2:34 AM Shohei Ohtani (DH-LAD) Ohtani again wins MVP and Japanese newspapers print more special editions to mark history. Shohei Ohtani is going to save the newspaper industry in Japan — singlehandedly. The Japanese and Los Angeles Dodgers superstar won his third Most Valuable Player award, this time picking up his first MVP in the National League. He’d already won two in the American League playing with the Los Angeles Angels. The award triggered Japanese newspapers to print special editions, given out on Friday morning in central Tokyo. This comes less than a month after Ohtani and the Dodgers won the World Series, which also prompted the extra editions that are seen as collector’s items.

11/22 12:01 AM Emmanuel Rodriguez (OF-MIN) Emmanuel Rodriguez, 2025 Fantasy Outlook.

Last thing Itch said on him, “Emmanuel Rodriguez made his Triple-A debut this week at age 21, and while he hasn’t been my favorite bet to thrive at the highest level, there’s no denying what he’s put on film to this point. Please, blog, may I have some more?

11/21 7:47 PM Caleb Boushley (P-MIN) Texas Rangers add potential swing man on minor league deal. The Rangers have signed 31-year-old right-hander Caleb Boushley, with just a pinch of major league experience, to a minor league deal. Boushley, who reached the majors after being a 33rd-round selection in the 2017 draft, spent last season in the Minnesota organization. In his seven minor league seasons, Boushley has made a reputation as a strike-thrower, averaging 3.22 strikeouts per walk and just 2.4 walks per nine innings.

11/21 7:36 PM Jose Ramirez (3B/DH-CLE) Another Top-Five MVP Finish For Guardians Superstar. Another season in the books means another top-five in the MVP voting for Jose Ramirez. The Cleveland Guardians superstar has yet to win the award, but he certainly can't get any closer to doing so, and the 2024 season was no exception. Unsurprisingly, New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge was named the 2024 American League MVP after another historic season. The Guardians superstar finished fifth in the voting, and he was one of five players who appeared on every voter's ballot.

11/21 5:00 PM Alec Bohm (3B-PHI) Philadelphia Phillies Predicted To Sign Star Free Agent Infielder on Huge Deal. The Philadelphia Phillies are planning on making some major lineup changes this winter after the bats fell short early in the postseason during a four-game domination at the hands of the New York Mets. One position expected to see a new face next year is third base, with it being reported in the last couple of weeks that the Phillies have placed All-Star Alec Bohm on the trade block. Coming off what was a career performance before it ended in a cold stretch to finish the regular season, he was benched in the playoffs amid questions about attitude and maturity, so his trade value is a mystery.

11/21 4:56 PM Jarren Duran (OF-BOS) Two Red Sox received AL MVP votes for impressive 2024 showings. The Boston Red Sox may not have made the postseason in 2024, but they did have a few players who had remarkable individual campaigns. Red Sox center fielder Jarren Duran and third baseman Rafael Devers were so impressive that they received votes for the American League MVP. The MLB announced on Thursday that Duran finished eighth and received 25 total votes (with the highest being for fourth place) while Devers finished 13th and received two (the highest being for seventh). Duran appeared in 160 games this season (missing two due to suspension).

11/21 4:45 PM Garrett Crochet (P-CHW) Top names the Orioles have eyes on in trade market. White Sox star starting pitcher Garrett Crochet is drawing big interest from the Orioles, Red Sox, Dodgers and Phillies, among others. The Orioles and Red Sox are well stocked with the position-player talent Chicago seeks. While the O's surrendered some prospects at the deadline, this may be their best hope for an ace. Ultimately, they may have trouble outbidding bigger markets for Corbin Burnes. Top trade names: 1. Crochet . While it's a year later, his value is actually up thanks to the innings issue going away. 2. Nolan Arenado. Cardinals are shopping him, but full no-trade complicates things. Garrett Crochet pitches against the Detroit Tigers during the second inning of a baseball game Sept.

11/21 4:23 PM Triston McKenzie (P-CLE) REPORT: Guardians Avoid Arbitration With Starting Pitcher. Triston McKenzie looked like the future ace of the Cleveland Guardians during the 2022 season. What we do know is that it looks like Sticks will still be in the equation for Cleveland in some capacity in 2025. Per FanSided's Robert Murray, the Guardians and McKenzie settled on a $1.95 million contract for the 2025 season and avoided going through the arbitration process. Cleveland eventually optioned Triston to Triple-A halfway through the season to work on getting his rhythm and confidence back.
