Mitch Keller at the Mets?

If he is indeed traded this winter, New York will be one to watch.

Trevor Story progresses

He is currently regaining his ease in the Majors, which explains his performance.

Investigation of the Tommy Pham case

Comments towards his 13-year-old nephew were made and Pham didn’t like it.

Alek Manoah is still in Toronto

The plan is still to send it, eventually, into the AAA.

Alek Manoah is still in Toronto by John Schneider. It’s an unconventional setup as Manoah was optioned 11 days ago. Manoah continues working out. The vision per Schneider is to have him pitch at AAA again. If Jays needed another SP Manoah one option, but there are alternatives.
