The Padres are signing righty Ryan Weiss to a one year major league deal with an option for 2028, sources tell ESPN. Weiss pitched last year for Houston. Had interest around the league and a chance to return to the KBO where he pitched in 2025 but got a deal done with the Pads.
In its proposal, MLB also set new numbers for its proposed cap and floor in 2028. The cap would be $258.2 million while the floor would be $180.2 million. In its previous proposal, the league had offered a $245.3 million ceiling and $171.2 million floor.
Major League Baseball proposed postponing the implementation of a salary cap until the 2028 season while still putting into place the other elements of its labor offer for 2027, citing the difficulty of teams navigating free agency amid the current uncertainty.

This is one of my favorite episodes we’ve done: Explaining why the 2026 Brewers are as beloved as they are — and how baseball’s first small-market powerhouse can be the foil to the Dodgers that baseball needs. youtube.com/watch?v=kCEi26Lq…
Yesterday was for the parade. Today is for the stories. Here's the one about the Milwaukee Brewers' rally heaters.
Daniel Vogelbach sang “Stacy’s Mom” the night the Brewers won the World Series, too.
If you want to know more about that and the Brewers’ love of … other vices, I encourage you to take a look at the most fun World Series champion we’ve seen in a while: espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/5029…
The Milwaukee Brewers' championship was 57 years in the making -- and it came together in spectacular fashion. Free at ESPN, the inside story of how it happened, from a late July declaration to a bus that everyone boarded to a whole lot of rally heaters. espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/5029…
FINAL: Brewers 4, Rays 1
For the first time, the Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions. They did it for Milwaukee, they did it for Wisconsin, they did it for Ueck, they did it for themselves. This was 57 years in the making. And it was pure, beautiful, dominant baseball.
Jacob Misiorowski is coming out of Game 5 after 5.2 scoreless innings and 86 pitches. He was cruising, but it looks like he got a cramp. Trainers brought him a drink on the mound. He threw one warm-up pitch, shook his leg and walked off with a slight limp. Brewers still up, 4-0.
The Rays pulled Drew Rasmussen after four innings and 48 pitches. His replacement, Kevin Kelly, has allowed three consecutive singles to the Nos. 7, 8 and 9 hitters, and the Brewers now lead, 2-0.
Game 4 of the World Series made you feel something. And along the way, before the game goes away for while, it gave us more baseball, and that’s something to celebrate. Column, free at ESPN, on the Rays’ new life: espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/5030…
