Here are three things for MLBTR readers to keep an eye on around the baseball world throughout the day today:
1. ALCS continues in Seattle:
The ALCS is set to resume today after the two clubs traveled to Seattle yesterday. The Mariners will be looking to win a third straight game, while the Blue Jays will be hoping to get themselves back into the series with a win of their own. Right-hander George Kirby (4.21 ERA) is on the mound for Seattle opposite righty Shane Bieber (3.57 ERA). Bieber struggled in his lone start of the ALDS against the Yankees, where he surrendered three runs (two earned) in 2 2/3 innings of work. Kirby, meanwhile, struck out 14 Tigers in ten innings of three-run ball across two starts for Seattle in the ALDS. Tonight’s game is scheduled to begin at 5:08pm local time.
2. Could more pending free agents re-sign?
The Guardians and longtime backup catcher Austin Hedges worked out a one-year, $4MM contract for the 2026 season yesterday that will allow Hedges to avoid free agency. It’s typically fairly uncommon for players this close to free agency to decide to re-up with their current club without testing the open market, but it’s certainly not completely unheard of. Pending free agents won’t be able to negotiate with clubs besides their current team until five days after the World Series concludes. Could any other teams and players make use of the exclusive negotiation window the next couple of weeks provide in order to get a deal done, as the Royals and right-hander Michael Wacha did last year?
3. Cubs end-of-season press conference:
The Cubs were the last team to be knocked out of the playoffs before the LCS began, as they fell to the Brewers in Game 5 of the NLDS on Saturday. Now that the loss is a few days in the past, however, the club is starting to gear up for the coming offseason. That will begin with a press conference held by president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer, which Patrick Mooney of The Athletic notes is scheduled for later today. Coming off their first full-season playoff berth since 2018, the Cubs are in for a big offseason with star outfielder Kyle Tucker ticketed for free agency and a complicated option structure for 2024 All-Star Shota Imanaga looming. Will today’s presser provide any hints on their plans for the winter?
