Judge goes back to Yankees as Giants, Padres examine options

SAN DIEGO — (AP) — Farhan Zaidi got a text message from Aaron Judge's representatives early Wednesday morning. With Judge returning to the New York Yankees on a $360 million, nine-year contract, the San Francisco Giants are mulling over their next move after they missed the playoffs this year. “We always knew this was a possible outcome, and so we've done a lot of work on our other options,” said Zaidi, the team’s president of baseball operations. Quintana agreed to a $26 million, two-year contract with the New York Mets, adding another veteran arm to the team’s rotation. The Northern California native visited with the Giants last month, and he also met with the San Diego Padres in the last few days.

14 MLB teams reach 85% vaccinated, relax COVID protocols

Two more Major League Baseball teams have been able to relax coronavirus protocols after 85% of their players and other on-field personnel completed vaccination, raising the total to 14 of the 30 clubs.

Hoyer disappointed with Cubs' COVID-19 vaccination rate

CHICAGO — (AP) — Chicago Cubs executive Jed Hoyer is disappointed with the team's COVID-19 vaccination rate, and he isn't sure if it will ever reach Major League Baseball's threshold for relaxing some of its coronavirus protocols. Despite the team's vaccination advocacy and education program, the Cubs remain shy of 85% for their Tier 1 players and staff. Reaching the 85% threshold means fully vaccinated players can go without masks in the dugout and bullpens. Fully vaccinated players and staff are able to eat and drink on flights. “There's no denying the fact that ... it is a competitive advantage to get to 85%,” Hoyer said.

"We haven't gotten extensions, and as a result, there are contractual realities to how long we control some of these players,” Hoyer said.
