With the New York Mets reportedly not seeking further additions to their roster, a new report has surfaced concerning a player who was with the Milwaukee Brewers last season. The offseason has been nothing short of extraordinary for the New York Mets. The team appears to be in excellent shape following several key acquisitions during the current market period. Additionally, they are reportedly still in the conversation when it comes to signing more players in free agency, with potential new talent heading to New York. MLB insider Hector Gomez reports that the Mets have expressed interest in Colombian pitcher and former Milwaukee Brewers player, Jose Quintana. As the team seeks to enhance their pitching rotation, Quintana has emerged as a viable option. Quintana’s presence in the 2023 and 2024 seasons could be a pivotal factor for the Mets, as they aim to strengthen their roster in preparation for the upcoming season. His addition would provide much-needed depth. While Quintana posted solid numbers with the Brewers last season, they weren’t compelling enough for Milwaukee to retain him for the coming season. Nonetheless, circumstances may change as the Mets are not the only team interested in securing the Colombian pitcher’s services. Jose Quintana #62 of the Milwaukee Brewers looks on. Reported teams pursuing Quintana The Mets are joined by other franchises reportedly expressing interest in adding Quintana to their rosters for the next season. However, no clear front-runner has emerged with just a short period remaining before the regular season commences. “Other teams that have shown interest in Quintana include the Padres, Rangers, Tigers, and Rockies, among others,” Gomez revealed on his social media account, alongside the interest from the New York franchise. Quintana’s performance in the previous season with the Brewers Quintana’s efforts on the mound weren’t sufficient for the Brewers to consider him for the upcoming season, as certain shortcomings left questions about his readiness for future challenges. Nevertheless, his future remains uncertain and continues to be a topic of intrigue. Record: 11–7ERA: 3.96Games / Starts: 24 / 24Innings Pitched: 131.2Strikeouts: 89WHIP: 1.29WAR: 1.3

Shedeur Sanders and the Cleveland Browns could see their push for a head coaching candidate go in vain after another AFC North team entered the sweepstakes. The Cleveland Browns are still searching for a head coach to replace Kevin Stefanski in the 2026 NFL season. Amid the dramatic offseason, Shedeur Sanders and the rest of the team have now learned a top candidate is steering away from them, with reports suggesting he is bound to join another franchise in the AFC North. Drama has been the name of the game for the Browns’ offseason. After being fired, Stefanski has dismantled the coaching staff. Now, Sanders has lost a key mentor—offensive coordinator Tommy Rees—who is joining the Atlanta Falcons as well. The Brows have yet to find a new head coach. It definitely hasn’t been due to a lack of trying on Cleveland’s part. The Browns have been knocking on almost every door in the NFL, yet they are getting no answers from the other side. When things seem to be going right, they suddenly go wrong. That was the case with Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, who the Browns were after. “Jesse Minter has canceled a scheduled meeting with the Browns,” insider Jordan Schultz stated on X. As reported, Minter is leaning toward interest from other organizations that see him as the next head coach. Sanders and the Browns have once again gotten the short end of the stick. Jesse Minter DC of the LA Chargers Minter could join Browns’ rival As if being stood up by Minter wasn’t heartbreaking enough for Sanders’ Browns, Minter’s reported next destination only pours salt into their wounds. According to Schultz, Minter is in serious consideration to become the next head coach of the Baltimore Ravens. In more ways than one, signing with the organization in Maryland makes sense for Minter. The 42-year-old coach has been with the Ravens before, joining as a defensive assistant in 2017. He was promoted to defensive backs coach in 2020, but after one season in that role, Minter left to become Vanderbilt’s defensive coordinator. Now, his path may cross with Baltimore’s once again. Browns are still deciding The Browns have yet to make up their minds. With no shortage of options on the coaching carousel, Cleveland is still deciding whether it wants a defensively or offensively minded head coach. After parting ways with a defensive strategist like Stefanski, many expected the Browns to flip the script and hire an offensive guru. However, that remains unclear. The organization seems content with finding someone willing to take a chance on Sanders and the team and get the franchise out of its current pit—by any means necessary. Whether they become a defensive juggernaut or an offensive wrecking machine, the Browns don’t care; they just want the bleeding to stop.

Panama face Mexico in a 2026 international friendly, serving as a vital tune-up for both sides ahead of the 2026 World Cup. The Panama National Team host Mexico at Rommel Fernandez Stadium for a 2026 international friendly. The match serves as a key preparation fixture for the upcoming World Cup, which is set to kick off on June 11 of this year. For Mexico, this clash marks their first outing of 2026 before they face Bolivia as part of a series of exhibition matches. Notably, this window falls outside of the official FIFA international calendar. Because this is not a designated FIFA date, manager Javier Aguirre faces a unique challenge: clubs are not obligated to release their players. Consequently, Aguirre will rely exclusively on a roster of Liga MX-based players for these two scheduled friendlies. On the Panamanian side, this will be their second match of the year, following a recent 1-1 draw against Bolivia. The encounter with Mexico will provide a stern test for Panama as they prepare for just the second World Cup appearance in their history. ¡HOY JUGAMOS EN CASA 🏟️!Con el boleto 🎟️ mundialista en mano, hoy la selección #PanamáMayor 🇵🇦 recibe a México 🇲🇽 en casa 🏟️ en un partido amistoso internacional.🇵🇦🆚🇲🇽⏰ 8pm🏟️ Rommel Fernández 📺 @tvmaxdeportes y @deportes_rpc pic.twitter.com/9uMRjfCrad— FEPAFUT (@fepafut) January 22, 2026 Mexico probable lineup For this series of friendlies, Mexico’s teenage sensation Gilberto Mora will be absent despite playing in Liga MX. The midfielder was ruled out as he continues to recover from a minor injury, with the coaching staff opting to leave him out of the squad to focus on his recovery. Mexico’s projected XI to face Panama: Luis Malagon; Jorge Sanchez, Israel Reyes, Ramón Juarez, Jesus Gallardo; Luis Romo, Erik Lira; Diego Lainez, Roberto Alvarado, Armando Gonzalez; German Berterame. Panama probable lineup Christiansen’s side report no major injury concerns heading into the match.

The New York Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns made something clear about the team's rotation after landing ace Freddy Peralta, poaching yet another player away from the hands of the New York Yankees. The New York Mets just landed an ace in Freddy Peralta. That’s a big time move for the team but that’s not the only piece of news that we have about what the rotation might look like. It’s not only landing the pitcher who was also on the New York Yankees radar, it’s also the fact that a known face will be a part of the rotation too. President of baseball operations, David Stearns, talked about acquiring Freddy Peralta, but also spoke on a certain Kodai Senga. Stearns said people can “expect Kodai Senga to be a member of our rotation.” There were some questions after landing Peralta. Him being an ace, he is taking a place in the rotation, which meant a pitcher would need to be left out. However, that pitcher won’t be Kodai Senga. The Japanese had a 7-6 season with a 3.02 ERA and 109 strikeouts. Also, Senga is a lefty, so it helps with the versatility of the rotation to keep him. Peralta brings firepower to the Mets Bringing the pitcher that led the the NL in wins is very big. It’s a statement made by the Mets that this season is a high-stakes year for them. They are going all in by bringing Peralta and Bo Bichette. Freddy Peralta #51 of the Milwaukee Brewers Peralta had almost 100 more strikeouts than Senga last year and he ended up fifth in the Cy Young votes. Of course, an All-Star selection was listed to Peralta’s name. Also important, the Mets land him at 29 years old, in the middle of his prime after he posted career-highs in games started, innings pitched and the best ERA of his career. There’s a reason the Yankees wanted him too. The Mets rotation escalates hugely in the rankings The Mets projected rotation sends Peralta as one, followed by Nolan McLean, lefty David Peterson, Clayo Holmes, and Kodai Senga. However, Sean Manaea, who is also a lefty could still be in the mix. Senga battled injuries but he seems to be back and ready to go. This catapults the Mets rotation into one of the best in baseball, at least based on projections. They have a proper ace, high ceiling, experience, and depth.
