Jojo Parker currently finds himself battling the "ups and downs" of his inaugural professional campaign with single-A Dunedin.

Bo Bichette has opted into his $42M player option with the Mets for next season as @WillSammon 1st reported.
Once #BlueJays reinstate everyone from the 60-day IL, which they have until Monday's deadline to do, they should have a full 40-man roster again.
There are 7 players to activate and as many 40-man spots available, with Myles Straw's $8M club option still to be decided.

The 2026 season lives one more day... and it probably shouldn't have.
Credit to the Rays for doing Rays things and taking advantage of mistakes.
It took 10 years, which is saying a lot here, but someone has dethroned Andrew Miller's brilliance from 2016.
What an unbelievable run for Ashby, and he likely isn't finished yet.

Jeff Hoffman underwent right arthroscopic elbow surgery w/ Dr. Jeffrey Dugas. Included removal of a bone chip & debridement procedure.
#MNTwins say Hoffman will start throwing program in 8 weeks & anticipate him being ready for start of the 2027 season.
Just need Zach Charbonnet to return now. #Seahawks

Speaking to media at the World Series about an expected MLB lockout, MLBPA executive director Bruce Meyer said “none of this has to be happening.”
Meyer said MLB’s push for a salary cap is about increasing franchise values and capping costs, not competitive balance.

Improved eyesight, new hair... Vladdy is thinking outside the box on how to put 2026 behind him. #BlueJays
Arjun Nimmala, who's playing on the same AFL team alongside several #BlueJays prospects, is off to a roaring start at the plate this fall.
It's like being assigned to a group project with your ex from a mutual breakup, only to watch them prove why you're still into them...
Arjun Nimmala is the Arizona Fall League Hitter of the Week!
