Aaron Judge urged the New York Yankees to spend aggressively this offseason after the team was swept by the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALDS.

Phillies Weigh Keeping Mattingly After Cora’s Second Refusal

The Philadelphia Phillies are considering retaining interim manager Don Mattingly for the 2027 season after Alex Cora declined the job for the second time. Mattingly led the team to a 79-55 record following a 9-19 start, but the club never removed his interim status. With Cora’s contract with Boston expiring in 2027, Philadelphia faces a decision between keeping Mattingly, hiring a new manager, or waiting for Cora’s availability in 2028.

Phillies Face Crossroads: Is 2026 a Blip or the Start of a Decline?

The Philadelphia Phillies finished the 2026 season as the sixth seed, winning 88 games and exiting the Wild Card series. This marks the first time since 2021 that both their regular season record and postseason results have declined. The core roster, including Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, and Trea Turner, remains largely intact but shows signs of aging and regression. The organization must decide whether to view this as a temporary dip or a structural issue, especially with a weak farm system and potential coaching changes.

Cubs President Jed Hoyer Vows Major Pitching Overhaul After 2026 Postseason Collapse

Chicago Cubs President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer held a post-season press conference on October 2, 2026, acknowledging that the team's failure to secure home-field advantage and a deep postseason run was primarily due to pitching deficiencies. While praising the position player group's historic performance, Hoyer admitted the front office leaned too heavily on defense and failed to adequately address the pitching infrastructure. He confirmed that the offseason will focus on rebuilding the pitching staff, evaluating the health of key homegrown arms, and navigating a complex free agency landscape amidst a potential labor lockout. Hoyer also expressed regret over previous bullpen transactions and emphasized the need to improve organizational processes from scouting to big-league development.
