Sources: Emilio Pagán declined the Cincinnati Reds’ $10 million option for the 2027 season and will become a free agent, with a strong chance of landing a multi-year contract. Pagán had a notable second half of the season, going 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA, 29 SO in 26.1 IP and 18 SV.

Glad he wants to stay in Boston because he should be on a 40-man roster somewhere this season

Mason Montgomery's 2026 breakout was in large part due to the inswinging yorker he started throwing in June
Replying to @SohelVkf
If a baseball hitter can defend this inswinging yorker, I’ll agree that baseball is harder than cricket.

Season vs. Postseason trust for the Rays/Brewers relievers (and how it matches their K-BB%). Booser and Hall 📈 (deservingly) and Romero 📉 (but he's pitched well!)...Matz 😬
