New York Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner addressed the team's 2025 season and offseason priorities during a Zoom call with reporters on November 24, 2025. Coming off a 94-win campaign that ended in the American League Division Series loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, Steinbrenner emphasized improvements in the bullpen and outfield while expressing confidence in the starting rotation. He also acknowledged concerns about the Los Angeles Dodgers' dominance amid discussions on payroll and competitive balance.
The Milwaukee Brewers are worried about their projected $133 million payroll for 2026 and may need to subtract from their roster to create room for new players. This comes after a strong 97-win season in 2025, where they were swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS. Reports suggest potential trades involving key players like Freddy Peralta, Trevor Megill, and Nick Mears.
