BREAKING: Astros Made a SURPRISING TRADE!? White Sox Embarrassing Themselves Again, New MLB Rules

The Blue Jays and Astros swapped outfielders, with Toronto sending Joey Loperfido back to Houston for Jesús Sánchez (who brings power, speed, and corner-outfield defense but hits lefties poorly and is owed ~$6.8M). The Orioles signed veteran starter Chris Bassitt to a one-year, $18.5M deal for rotation depth and innings. The Phillies released Nick Castellanos (still owed $20M after his 2025 drama, including a beer-in-dugout incident and poor defense), making him a free agent for a potential low-cost bat/DH role. The Nationals added Miles Mikolas on a one-year, ~$2.25M deal (plus bonuses) as a durable innings-eater for rotation depth. The Angels re-signed utilityman Chris Taylor (Enrique Hernández) to a minor-league pact. MLB also confirmed stricter 2026 rules for base coaches (stay in box until pitch thrown) and extra ABS challenges in extras.
