Ibanez, on a one-year major-league deal, is expected to clear waivers and be sent to Triple-A if unclaimed; as a major-league contract he cannot be traded without consent before June 15.

The largest U.S. delegation ever includes 98 returning Olympians and 18 Olympic champions, with standout groups in women’s figure skating and ongoing hopes for gold in men’s hockey after the team’s 1980 Miracle on Ice-era history.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are considering re-signing franchise icon Andrew McCutchen for 2026, weighing his fit as a part-time DH and clubhouse leader as they assemble a more potent lineup. McCutchen, who hit .239/.333/.367 with 13 homers and a 95 wRC+ in 2025, would likely slot into a limited role behind newly signed DH/1B option Ryan O’Hearn (with Spencer Horwitz) rather than becoming a regular, with Cherington saying roster construction will determine whether they bring him back.
Sean McDermott reportedly told Bills owner Terry Pegula and GM Brandon Beane five weeks before his firing that the roster lacked the pieces to win a Super Bowl. Beane will oversee all football operations as the Bills search for a new head coach, with four candidates already off the board and the 2026 NFL Draft looming in Pittsburgh.
The Buffalo Bills fired head coach Sean McDermott after nine seasons and eight playoff appearances, promoting general manager Brandon Beane as the new top decision-maker. Reports say McDermott questioned the team’s talent level, a stance that reportedly clashed with Beane and owner Terry Pegula, who favored evaluating coaching as the issue. The move, framed by the organization as a shift in leadership, leaves Beane with more power while McDermott is cast as a scapegoat despite continued postseason success.
With Alex Bregman off the table, Boston must finish a 71-days-out roster that looks improved in pitching but unsettled in the infield, where Marcello Mayer could fit at second or third.

The Steelers head into 2026 with 23 unrestricted free agents and five RFAs/ERFAs—roughly half the 53-man roster—promising a major offseason shakeup. With Rodgers and Thompson hitting the market, Mason Rudolph and Will Howard will compete for quarterback duties. Wide receiver turnover is expected to be drastic after Thielen, Miller, Valdes-Scantling and Austin reach free agency, pushing substantial investment into the position in free agency and the draft. The priciest targets include Rodgers, Dugger, Seumalo and Thielen, though retirements could alter those plans; DeShon Elliott's return may lessen the need for safety depth. The Steelers will also be focused on retaining Gainwell, Samuel, Pierre, Otomewo and possibly Heyward, while Killebrew's health complicates a potential return. RFAs offer few tender candidates beyond Otomewo/Waitman, and Slade is the sole exclusive-rights candidate. In short, expect significant roster churn as Pittsburgh rebuilds around veteran depth and draft strategy.
