MLB in brief: Corey Seager mocks the Astros | Lance Lynn becomes free agent

Corey Seager mocks the Astros

At the end of the season, Alex Bregman said that we will never know what would have happened if the Astros had not won their division.

Corey Seager said the same thing about the Rangers today…but for the World Series. Recall that in 2017, Houston cheats stole a ring from him in LA

Lance Lynn becomes free agent

The Dodgers did not activate the option on his contract.

The Dodgers have declined right-hander Lance Lynn’s $18 million club option for 2024, a source tells The Athletic. He will receive a $1 million buyout.

A reunion is still possible between the two sides. Dodgers expected to be in the pitching market this winter.

Liam Hendriks also becomes a free agent.

White Sox are declining Liam Hendriks’ $15M option. They will still owe him $15M but deferred over time.

Édouard Julien and his defense

If he can improve, he will become even more indispensable.

Nelson Cruz involved in baseball?

The idea is good.

Yainer Diaz will take more in Houston

Is this the end for Martin Maldonado?

Win on the road

The word ROAD is also an acronym of the clubs beaten by Texas in the series.

Matt Carpenter stays in San Diego

He activated the $5.5M option on his contract.

The Padres, needing to clear significant payroll this season, having to pay Matt Carpenter $5.5M next season isn’t ideal https://t.co/9qnG58dl2q
