Yankees-Red Sox Blockbuster Trade Possibility Would Bring $120M Superstar to Bronx
The New York Yankees may be looking for infielders near the trade deadline. The team has been using DJ LeMahieu and Jorbit Vivas at second base and plans to move Jazz Chisholm Jr. back to third base after Oswaldo Cabrera's injury. However, LeMahieu is hitting just .239 in 15 games and has a .640 OPS. He is no longer the same player who won two batting titles and three Silver Sluggers. The Yankees could add an infielder to move LeMahieu into a bench role. One player who could surprisingly be available is Alex Bregman of the Boston Red Sox. He signed a three-year, $120 million deal with the Red Sox in the offseason, but is on the injured list right now. Meanwhile, the Red Sox are struggling and may very well be sellers by the time the July 31 deadline rolls around. CBS Sports' Matt Snyder named Bregman as a player the team could trade away, and the Yankees may be willing to make it happen. NEW YORK, NY - MAY 14: Alex Bregman #2 of the Houston Astros reacts after hitting a grand slam in the frst inning against the New York Yankees in Game 2 on May 14, 2017... NEW YORK, NY - MAY 14: Alex Bregman #2 of the Houston Astros reacts after hitting a grand slam in the frst inning against the New York Yankees in Game 2 on May 14, 2017 at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx borough of New York City."I think the biggest and most intriguing name is Alex Bregman," wrote Snyder. "He just went through a lengthy free agency before landing with the Red Sox on a creative three-year deal, but it has an opt-out clause after this season. He's injured right now, but prior to that was having his best season in years, perhaps even since he finished second in MVP voting in 2019 (that's what things like batting average, OPS+ and WAR say). If things continue on this path, Bregman could well be the big name this trade season." Bregman's contract has an opt-out after this season, so the Red Sox are risking him walking for nothing in return. He was hitting .299/.385/.553 with 11 home runs before his injury and would most likely find a better contract on the open market. For the Yankees, Bregman would be able to slot in as the everyday third baseman, allowing Chisholm to play second base, where he started the season. He would be a clear upgrade for their infield and will likely end up being a rental. Even if Bregman does not opt out, his payroll is just $25 million for this season, as his deal has $60 million in deferred money. Adding him as a rental would cost the Yankees a lot of prospect capital as is, but adding him from the Red Sox would cost them even more. However, it is a price the Yankees may be willing to pay in order to maximize their chance at a World Series this year. Meanwhile, the Red Sox may have to come to terms with the fact that trading him to the Yankees may yield the best return. If their season slips away, then they will have to seriously consider trading Bregman. More MLB: Yankees Bring Back All-Star, Place Reliever on IL in Massive Roster Move

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow is optimistic about recovery from shoulder injury
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tyler Glasnow is feeling optimistic about his recovery from a shoulder injury that has sidelined him since late April, one of five Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitchers who are on the injured list. There's no timetable yet for his return. The 31-year-old right-hander got hurt against Pittsburgh on April 27. He was recently moved to the 60-day IL. 'My shoulder is totally fine,' he said Tuesday. Glasnow downplayed the general body soreness that manager Dave Roberts mentioned on Monday. He said back tightness after a bullpen session prompted a precautionary decision to rest him for a few days. 'We're both on the same wavelength,' he said of himself and the team. His shoulder feels better, he said, and he plans to throw a bullpen session later this week. He played catch in the outfield Tuesday. 'I'll be back as soon as I can in a healthy way to help the team in the playoffs is my goal,' he said. Last season, Glasnow didn't pitch in the postseason because of right elbow tendinitis. He signed a $135.5 million, five-year deal before the 2024 season. Also Tuesday, the Dodgers signed right-hander José Ureña, who was designated for assignment last weekend by Toronto. He was 0-0 with a 3.65 ERA in six appearances for the Blue Jays. He began the season with the New York Mets, giving up five runs in three innings of his lone appearance. Ureña, 33, has spent 11 years in the majors with Miami, Detroit, Milwaukee, Colorado, the Chicago White Sox, Texas, the Mets and Blue Jays. He is 44-77 with a 4.78 ERA in 239 games. The Dodgers also optioned right-handed pitcher Will Klein to Triple-A Oklahoma City and designated catcher Chuckie Robinson for assignment. ___ AP MLB:

Dodgers React to MLB's Major Shohei Ohtani Announcement on Tuesday
Dodgers React to MLB's Major Shohei Ohtani Announcement on Tuesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After winning it all in 2024, the Los Angeles Dodgers have cemented themselves as one of the best teams in MLB in 2025. They're sporting a 36-24 record while sitting in first place in the NL West. Advertisement Of course, they have several talented players on their roster, but maybe none as great as Shohei Ohtani, who is now in just the second season of a 10-year, $700 million contract that runs through the 2033 season. After winning the NL MVP in 2024, he's only continued to be amazing, and on Tuesday, MLB announced that he'd been named the NL Player of the Month for May. It's, of course, a special honor and even drew a reaction from the Dodgers, who congratulated Ohtani on X: "May's best Sho. Congratulations Shohei on being named the NL Player of the Month!" It's no surprise that he won this either, because in May, Ohtani appeared in 27 games, accumulating 110 at-bats, 34 hits, 15 home runs, 31 runs scored, 27 RBIs, and 17 walks while slashing .309/.398/.782 with a 1.180 OPS. Advertisement What makes earning this honor even more special is that it's the sixth time Ohtani has been named a Player of the Month, receiving it twice with the Dodgers and four times with the Los Angeles Angels. Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (17)© Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images He hasn't only been great in May, though, because throughout the entire season, he's racked up 233 at-bats, 68 hits, 23 home runs, 64 runs scored, 39 RBIs, 37 walks, a 1.047 OPS and a 3.2 WAR. There's no doubt that if Ohtani continues to perform at this pace, he will have a good argument for winning his fourth career MVP and second with the Dodgers.
