MLB notes: Mike Shildt may have made the call to leave Padres but unworkable relationship with coaches spelled doom anyway (plus more managerial notes)
Alex Bregman planning to opt out after nice first year in Boston. Red Sox return seems logical but there will surely be options (one potential surprise suitor in here) nypost.com/2025/10/14/s...
Dodgers rotation: From a mess to the best one October to the next (in here: unreal stat shows Blake Snell is 1st ever to have this kind of 6-game span). My column @nypostsports.bsky.social
MLB notes: Betts tells us he always believed he could transition to SS (he was right) plus managerial notes on Pujols, Flaherty, Hundley, Weiss, Toss, etc. nypost.com/2025/10/13/s...
Dave Roberts calls Pat Murphy’s hype of Dodgers greatness an “act.” And it may be. But with mega stars Snell and Freeman starring in Game 1 there’s at least some validity to it @nypostsports.bsky.social
Nothing official yet but Kyle Hendricks is expected to retire @nypostsports has learned. Won 100th game in 1 season with hometown Angels following 11 years with Cubs including historic World Series winning team in 2016 when he went 16-8 with 2.13 ERA. 105-91, 3.79 ERA lifetime.
Sources: Alltime great Albert Pujols is the first choice of Angels/Arte Moreno to manage following positive meeting. They still need to work out contract but Pujols is expected to be given choice of coaches if they can finalize the $.
Buck Martinez says if he really thinks the Yankees aren’t a good team, tells us what Aaron Boone said to him when they met in Toronto, talks Vlad, Bo, Trey, more. Great interview! @nypostsports.bsky.social
Keep hearing Nick Hundley is strongly in the mix for Giants manager job. No guarantees but Rangers exec and former catcher with Giants and others is very well respected. Was Buster Posey’s backup 2017-18
Cam Schlittler, a testament to Yankee scouting and late-season revelation, revels in Game 3 gem after Red Sox fans dogged him and the Schlittler family. “I’m sure that they’re upset. I hope they are.” nypost.com/2025/10/04/s...
