Mets Fire General Manager Jared Porter Show More

New York Mets general manager Jared Porter was fired on Tuesday morning after ESPN reported details that he sent unsolicited texts and inappropriate photos to a female reporter in 2016. Mets owner Steve Cohen announced the termination on Twitter. Porter's tenure as GM lasted just 37 days. The Mets will now look to fill the position in advance of spring training. Given the fact that the Mets just concluded a GM search last month, they should be able to move quickly to fill the vacancy with, perhaps, one of the other candidates they recently vetted. Notably, former Cubs and Red Sox GM Theo Epstein could also be a potential candidate for this go-around.

Sonny Gray, Luis Castillo Unlikely To Be Traded? Show More

The possibility of Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sonny Graybeing traded might be fading. This comes after general manager Nick Krall squashed rumors of a supposed trade that would have sent right-hander Luis Castillo to the Yankees on Sunday. The Reds asked the Yankees for shortstop Gleyber Torres, but that request was turned down. Cincy is telling other teams that they now intend to keep Castillo. The 31-year-old Gray is owed $20 million over the next two seasons and has a $12 million team option for the 2023 season. Gray had a 3.07 ERA with a 10.8 K/9 the last two years for Cincinnati. The right-hander could still be traded in an offseason that has featured a busy starting pitcher trade market. Gray could be an even more attractive No. 2 starting pitcher in fantasy leagues if he lands in a more favorable position.

George Springer Could Find A Team This Week Show More

Free-agent outfielder George Springer could make his decision on a team this week, according to multiple industry sources. The Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets remain the two front-runners, with both teams offering nine figures. The only things stopping the Mets pursuit of Springer may be their desire not to exceed the competitive balance tax threshold and the possibility of having no designated hitter in the National League in 2021. New York could pitch Springer on a stretched contract similar to the one the Yankees gave second baseman DJ LeMahieu (six years, $90 million). The Blue Jays could have the edge with far more room to operate under the tax threshold. Springer's fantasy value shouldn't change all that much in either spot, although Toronto's hitting environment would be a bit more beneficial. Either way, he's coming off the board in the top five rounds as a top-15 fantasy outfielder.

Padres Acquiring Joe Musgrove Show More

The San Diego Padres are in agreement on a deal to acquire right-hander Joe Musgrove from the Pittsburgh Pirates in a three-team deal on Monday, according to sources. The trade is pending medical reviews. Hudson Head, a well-regarded center field prospect, is expected to be among a group of prospects heading back to Pittsburgh. Musgrove joins Blake Snell and Yu Darvish as the third starter acquired by the Friars this offseason. The 28-year-old was 1-5 with a 3.86 ERA in eight starts for the Pirates in the shortened 2020 season. The Opening Day starter last year will make $4.45 million in 2021 after avoiding arbitration. Musgrove is 29-38 with a 4.33 ERA in 108 major league appearances (83 starts) over five seasons. He played high school baseball in San Diego and has breakout potential in a pitcher's park and for a strong San Diego team.

Joey Lucchesi Traded To Mets Show More

The New York Mets are acquiring left-hander Joey Lucchesi from the San Diego Padres on Monday in a three-team deal, according to multiple reports. The Mets are sending catching prospect Endy Rodriguez to the Pirates, according to a source. Lucchesi is likely to compete for a spot at the back end of the Mets starting rotation behind two-time National League Cy Young winner Jacob deGrom, Carlos Carrasco, Marcus Stroman and David Peterson. Noah Syndergaard (elbow) is expected to return from Tommy John surgery sometime after May. The 27-year-old Lucchesi made 56 starts for the Padres in 2018 and 2019 but struggled in limited action in 2020, going 0-1 with a 7.94 ERA in two starts and a relief outing. Lucchesi will need to get an opportunity to start in New York for him to have fantasy value in deep mixed and NL-only leagues.
