News about Ken Rosenthal

A snake was found slithering on the top step from the Dodgers' dugout during Game 2 of the National League final on Monday afternoon. Pitcher Brent Honeywell was walking back to the bench when he spotted the reptile and pointed it out to his team. The broadcast then captured the snake as it tried to weave its way out of the players' sight.

The Dodgers' Kiké Hernandez had a foul-mouthed moment on TV after his team beat the Padres on Friday in a decisive NLDS Game 5. Hernandez, who hit a home run earlier in the game, was asked after the 2-0 win by Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal about what was different about this Dodgers team. Hernandez then asked if they were live before Rosenthal told him that they were.

Despite his immediate on-field value being cut in half due to an elbow injury, Shohei Ohtani remains baseball's most highly coveted free agent. According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the two-way sensation appeared in the $600 million neighborhood and is said to have spoken with Toronto Blue Jays officials at the team's spring-training facility in Dunedin, Florida. Rosenthal goes on to say that Ohtani has worked with more than one club so far, but that no timeframe has been given. In true Ohtani fashion, Japan's most popular celebrity has declined from revealing - or even leaking - any information about his ongoing free-agency tour. The 2023 American League MVP could return to the Los Angeles Angels, who ranked among the best hitters and pitchers in the game. However, there are already several other suitors, including the Blue Jays, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners, and Chicago Cubs, who appear to be unconcerned that Ohtani will only be a designated hitter for the foreseeable future following his second Tommy John surgery.

After a physical examination, Carlos Correa's 12-year, $315 million contract with the New York Mets could be drastically reduced, owing to a physical injury. According to People familiar with the talks, the free agent shortstop and the club decided to the deal last month after the San Francisco Giants decided not to sign a $350 million, 13-year deal over allegations regarding his 2014 ankle surgery. Now MLB insider Ken Rosenthal says he's looking for a dramatically reduced contract between Correa and the Mets. On The Athletic Baseball Show, Rosenthal said, 'We want it to be a completely different deal.' It's not going to be 12 years, $315 [million] promised.' The question, again, is: To what extent does the language change, does the deal change?And how is Carlos Correa gonna be once he gets through all this?Will he be a happy Met?Will he be upset?Who knows?'

According to a survey, Anthony Rizzo has re-signed with the New York Yankees on a multi-year contract after rejecting a qualifying bid. Rizzo was one of a slew of big names to enter the free agency industry, with his 2023 team still to be determined. According to Ken Rosenthal, the 33-year-old had rejected a qualifying offer from the Yankees on Tuesday but that a new two-year contract was signed later this week.

Steve Cohen, the Mets' billionaire and lifelong fan, will consider'torturing the Yankees' by bidding for Aaron Judge, even if just to raise the price, as it has been stated. Cohen has been an owner of his hometown team since 2012, first as a minority and then taking full responsibility at the end of 2020, and he is now the top owner in MLB. Given Cohen's tremendous wealth, FOX Sports and The Athletic baseball reporter Ken Rosenthal believes he'll be a "classic Mets fan" and want to get one over on the Yankees in the offseason by trying to lure Judge across New York.
