  • Cardinals' Willson Contreras: Unwilling to waive no-trade clause

    Contreras (shoulder) informed incoming Cardinals president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom during a conversation Friday that he wishes to remain with the team rather than waive his no-trade clause in order to facilitate a deal, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Contreras did hedge a bit, saying he expects the Cardinals to explore the trade market for him this offseason and he would listen if they came to him with a potential deal. However, his preference is to stay put, saying he "would like to be a part of the young team that is going to need to have some of experience around them." Contreras has two years and $36.5 million remaining on his contract, along with a $17.5 million club option (or $5 million buyout) for 2028. The 33-year-old is already done for the 2025 season, having been placed on the 10-day injured list earlier this month with a right shoulder strain.

  • Giants' Wilmer Flores: Scores in win

    Flores went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.

    The 34-year-old lined a single to right field in the second inning before coming around to score on a three-run homer by Casey Schmitt. Since Bryce Eldridge was called up in mid-September, Flores has appeared in six of the Giants' last 12 games, batting .286 with three RBI, three runs scored and a home run in just 14 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .242/.307/.380 with 71 RBI, 44 runs scored, 16 long balls and a stolen base across 462 plate appearances in 124 outings this season.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Homers in Saturday's loss

    Arenado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Cubs.

    Arenado singled in his first plate appearance and then skied one to left-center field off Jameson Taillon in the fourth inning that found the first row of the bleachers at Wrigley Field. It was the veteran third baseman's second home run in 11 games since coming off the injured list, and he's driven in nine runs over that stretch.

  • Tristan Beck RP | SF

    Giants' Tristan Beck: Earns second hold of 2025

    Beck picked up a hold in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies, tossing a scoreless inning.

    Beck retired all three batters he faced on just seven pitches, five of which were strikes. The right-hander has logged three consecutive scoreless outings, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out three in 4.2 innings during that span. Overall, he owns a 4.69 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 40:15 K:BB across 55.2 innings in 30 appearances this season.

  • Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Launches home run in win

    Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Cardinals.

    Crow-Armstrong has now gone deep in consecutive games, pushing his season total up to 31. That's easily a new career best and is tied with Seiya Suzuki for second on the team behind Michael Busch, who has 34 long balls. Crow-Armstrong has also swiped 35 bases this year, giving him his first career 30-30 campaign and offering a glimpse at the 23-year-old's long-term potential.
