Tigers in jeopardy of losing former Yankees star Gleyber Torres
Tigers in jeopardy of losing former Yankees star Gleyber Torres originally appeared on The Sporting News Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres entered the 2024-25 offseason with some questions about his future. It was evident that he wasn't going to return it to the New York Yankees, but many questioned where he could land, or what his deal might look like. Throughout parts of Torres' career, he seemed to be one of the better second basemen in baseball, and he's proven that again during the 2025 campaign. Barring anything drastic happening over the last few months, Torres now looks to be in a great position to get paid this winter, and that could impact the Tigers. MORE: According to there's even a chance they could lose him. noted that it won't be easy for the Tigers to keep him in town, something the front office has to consider. 'Batting .271 with a career-high .368 on-base percentage and 13 home runs, Torres has had quite the bounceback year since joining Detroit on a one-year, $15 million deal. He appears to be a good long-term fit for the first-place Tigers, but he's likely to seek a multiyear contract that probably won't be cheap. Plenty of other clubs could use a good second baseman, so it won't be easy for the Tigers to keep Torres, but they'll probably try,' they wrote. Depending on who the Tigers call up over the next few weeks to months, or even over the next year, it might not be too big of an issue to lose Torres. However, losing a right-handed bat with a 120 OPS+, when the team is already lacking right-handed juice, would be very tough to justify.

Texans place TE Brevin Jordan on season-ending injured reserve after heartbreaking injury
Texans are placing TE Brevin Jordan on season-ending injured reserve due to the knee injury he suffered during Monday's practice, as @jonmalexander also reported. Brevin Jordan's 2025 is officially over for the Houston Texans. According to The Houston Chronicle's Jonathan M. Alexander, the Texans are placing Jordan on the season-ending injured reserve after he suffered a knee injury during Monday's practice. The team has since announced that they've signed veteran offensive tackle Connor McDermott to the active roster. Since Jordan was placed on the injured reserve before the start of the regular season, he isn't eligible to return for the impending year. The veteran tight end was expected to be an influential part of the offensive personnel under new play-caller Nick Caley. "Unfortunately, we saw Brevin go down with an injury," Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said following practice. "We will continue to evaluate 'Brev' and see where he is. It's tough for everybody to see Brevin going down, knowing how much work he's put in to get back to this point of playing football and how excited he was to get back to playing football. So, just praying for him to have a successful return.' During drills in practice, Jordan was going up for a catch in traffic when he came down and fell awkwardly. He didn't get up, almost in a state of shock regarding the injury, before teammates came over to check on him. The scene was emotional, as Jordan was seen visibly upset while being carted off for further evaluation. He shouted out, "No!" as it became clear that his return to the field was likely suffering another setback. Last season, Jordan missed nearly the entire campaign after suffering a torn ACL in Week 2. He attacked the rehab process strong throughout the offseason and looked like one of the more improved players through the early stages of camp. But it's Jordan's leadership and attitude that made him a beloved member of the roster. On Saturday, he was the one to give the pregame pep talk in the huddle, a moment that went viral on social media among Texans' fans. Not only is Jordan loved by the fans, but also by his teammates. Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud had to be consoled by tight end Dalton Schultz after checking in with the tight end. Linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair made sure to stay with Jordan until the medical staff was able to get him on the cart. Drafted out of Miami in the fifth-round in 2021, Jordan had 532 receiving yards and five touchdowns before the injury in 2024. He also made 13 starts in 36 career games. During the middle of his rehab last season, Houstn signed Jordan to a one-year extension worth $2.1 million to keep him around for one full season before hitting free agency in 2026. Now, his future with the Texans remains unknown. As for the tight end position, Houston will need either Irv Smith Jr., Dalton Keene or newcomer Luke Lachey to step up as the No. 3 option behind Schultz and second-year player Cade Stover.

Yankees Ridiculed for This $90M Mistake as Part of 'All-Overpaid Team'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Kicking the New York Yankees while they're down is a favorite pastime for the fans of 29 other Major League Baseball teams. Though they got a win over the Minnesota Twins on Monday night, August has been an embarrassing month for the Yankees to this point. But there have been things to lament all season, even before this latest slide began in earnest a couple of weeks ago. There was a long stretch this season when the Yankees couldn't figure out their infield, and that stemmed from the lack of a true third baseman, combined with ex-Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu's contract. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 13: DJ LeMahieu #26 of the New York Yankees reacts after scoring on a 2-RBI single hit by Oswaldo Cabrera #95 during the sixth inning against the Tampa Bay... NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 13: DJ LeMahieu #26 of the New York Yankees reacts after scoring on a 2-RBI single hit by Oswaldo Cabrera #95 during the sixth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium on May 13, 2023 in the Bronx borough of New York City. MoreLeMahieu was designated for assignment over a month ago, but Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller was still rubbing salt in the wound Tuesday. Miller concocted an "All-Overpaid Team" for Major League Baseball this season, and he named LeMahieu as the top second baseman on his list. "We'll say this much in LeMahieu's defense: He was considerably more productive in 2025 than in 2024, when he posted a .527 OPS in 67 games between both starting and finishing the season on the IL," Miller wrote. "But improving from a .527 OPS to a .674 OPS wasn't enough to save LeMahieu's job once it became clear Jazz Chisholm Jr. needed to move from third base back to second base. The Yankees released LeMahieu a few days after that move, and more than a month later, still no one has felt compelled to give the 37-year-old another shot." LeMahieu's time in New York was a confounding mixed bag. He was great from 2019 to 2021, but his six-year, $90 million extension was an abject disaster, as New York is still on the hook for his $15 million salary next year. Do the Yankees have bigger fish to fry than worrying about overpaying LeMahieu all these years later? Of course. But if this season ends poorly, it will be just one more impediment as they try to get off the mat. More MLB: Red Sox's Roman Anthony Matches Ted Williams' 86-Year-Old Franchise Record
