The Colorado Rockies announced that Warren Schaeffer, who served as interim manager in 2025, will return as the team's full-time manager starting in 2026. Schaeffer took over after Bud Black's dismissal in May, guiding a young roster through a challenging season that ended with a franchise-record 119 losses. The move provides continuity amid front-office changes, including the hiring of Paul DePodesta as president of baseball operations.
The Dallas Mavericks are exploring a potential in-season trade for Anthony Davis following the firing of general manager Nico Harrison after a 3-9 start to the 2025-26 season. The team plans to work with Davis' camp over the next two-plus months to decide on a move as they shift focus to building around rookie Cooper Flagg. Former All-Star John Wall suggested Davis may want to return to his hometown of Chicago.
