The New York Mets have reportedly engaged in discussions with the Milwaukee Brewers regarding the acquisition of one of Milwaukee's star players. However, these negotiations have encountered a significant roadblock. With the New York Mets actively seeking to bolster their roster this offseason, the team is now embroiled in trade rumors involving the Milwaukee Brewers. However, recent reports suggest negotiations have encountered a significant roadblock. According to MLB insider Michael Marino, talks between the Mets and Brewers concerning pitcher Freddy Peralta have stalled. Marino reported on his social media platform X, “Jonah Tong’s name briefly surfaced in discussions with the Brewers about Freddy Peralta, but the Mets quickly ended that conversation.” Furthermore, Marino highlighted the Brewers’ proposal for a trade involving Peralta. “The Brewers put forward an offer of Brandon Sproat and Jett Williams for Freddy. The Mets, however, have been reluctant to meet that demand,” he stated. This impasse could pose challenges for the Mets as they pursue Peralta for the upcoming season. Despite this setback, the team remains committed to constructing a formidable lineup for next year. Freddy Peralta #51 of the Milwaukee Brewers. Mets make significant roster improvements Amid varying opinions regarding their offseason acquisitions, the Mets have indeed secured some notable additions for the upcoming season.

The Bills are eyeing a very intriguing name to replace Sean McDermott as head coach for the 2026 season. Major changes are coming for the team led by Josh Allen. The Bills are considering Anthony Lynn as a potential replacement for Sean McDermott. According to a report by Adam Schefter, they have already requested an interview with him for their head coach position. “Former Bills assistant head coach and current Commanders run game coordinator Anthony Lynn, a finalist for the Buffalo head coaching job in 2017 that went to Sean McDermott, is scheduled to interview for the Bills head coach job Saturday, per a league source. Back in 2017, Lynn landed the Chargers head coaching job instead and posted a 33-31 record in the midst of the team’s relocation to LA. Since then, Lynn has studied under coaches such as Dan Campbell, Kyle Shanahan and Dan Quinn.” The Buffaki Bills parted ways with Sean McDermott because they didn’t consider him the right person to help Josh Allen win a Super Bowl. According to team owner Terry Pegula, the playoff loss to the Broncos made it very clear that a change in direction was necessary. Who will be next Bills’ head coach? Brian Daboll, Anthony Lynn, and Joe Brady are currently the leading candidates to become the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills. It’s important to note that high-profile names like John Harbaugh and Kevin Stefanski are off the market, having signed with the Giants and Falcons, respectively. Bills’ quest for a Super Bowl The Bills have never won a Super Bowl in their history and are ready to start a new chapter as they open their new stadium in 2026. The departure of Sean McDermott seems to send a clear message of a fresh start. Lynn won the Super Bowl twice as a player with Denver and, in his coaching career, has worked for teams including the Broncos, Jaguars, Cowboys, Browns, Jets, Bills, Chargers, Lions, 49ers, and Commanders. In 2016, he served as interim head coach in Buffalo after Rex Ryan was fired.

Shortly after the New York Yankees re-signed Cody Bellinger, the New York Mets answered with a signing of their own in the MLB offseason. The New York Mets don’t plan to dwell on losing out on Cody Bellinger to the New York Yankees for too long. Instead, the MLB organization in Queens is now shifting its focus to other areas of need. In that regard, reports suggest the Orange and Blue are adding a veteran pitcher to their rotation. The Mets saw their plans to poach Bellinger away from the Yankees and into their waiting hands fail. Bellinger is returning to the Yankees lineup for the 2026 MLB season, and the Mets are now moving on. With almost no time between moves, the Mets have reportedly answered by targeting reliever Luis Garcia, who is coming off a 2025 campaign in which he pitched for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Washington Nationals, and Los Angeles Angels. Needless to say, he’s hoping to find a permanent home in Queens rather than continuing his journeyman ways. “The Mets are in agreement with reliever Luis Garcia, pending physical,” MLB Network insider Joel Sherman broke the news on his X account. Cody Bellinger #35 of the New York Yankees. How much are Mets signing Garcia for? According to Bob Nightengale, the Mets have signed Garcia to a one-year, $1.75 million contract. However, based on incentives and bonuses, the deal could go up to the $3 million figure in the 2026 MLB season. Needless to say, Garcia’s agreement with the Mets does little to overshadow Bellinger’s contract with the Yankees. The two-time All-Star signed a five-year, $162 million extension to stay in the Bronx. Garcia’s numbers in 2025 During a season in which he was moved around a lot in MLB, Garcia registered the following numbers: 0.8 WAR, 55.1 innings pitched, allowing 55 hits, 23 runs, 21 earned runs, and 2 home runs. Moreover, Garcia posted 48 strikeouts. As he joins the Mets, the club in Queens hopes to get the best out of the veteran reliever. Garcia will turn 39 next week. Perhaps, staying put at one place is just what he needs.

Travis Kelce supported Andy Reid's idea of bringing Eric Bieniemy in as the Chiefs' new offensive coordinator following the departure of Matt Nagy. The Kansas City Chiefs decided to part ways with Matt Nagy. During his New Heights podcast, Travis Kelce was fully on board with Andy Reid replacing him with Eric Bieniemy as offensive coordinator. The legendary tight end said that Bieniemy’s ability is such that his impact was very noticeable in 2025 as running backs coach with the Chicago Bears, as part of the staff led by Ben Johnson. “He’s going to pick up right where he left off. Eric Bieniemy and who he is as a coach, you could see kind of his personality and what he brings to the table in that Chicago team. I know Ben Johnson has his own version of that, he’s a very tough guy and what he did in Detroit, he brought over as well. But you can see those running backs over Chicago. Their body of work was definitely Eric Bieniemy’s style of football.” Chiefs lose coach for 2026 season The Chiefs will lose Matt Nagy as offensive coordinator for the 2026 season. In addition to receiving offers to become head coach of other teams, general manager Brett Veach and Andy Reid do not seem inclined to renew his contract. The cost of losing Eric Bieniemy for Chiefs Many experts say that since Eric Bieniemy left the Chiefs in 2022, Patrick Mahomes’ offense hasn’t been the same. Although they won a Super Bowl in 2023 with Nagy as offensive coordinator and reached another in 2024, the decline of that unit eventually reached an irreversible point this season. Therefore, given the need to revamp the offense, Bieniemy could be the answer Reid is looking for. If you add to that the ingredient of bringing fresh scheme ideas from his experience working with Ben Johnson, the result could be outstanding.
