The Boston Red Sox traded infielder Tsung-Che Cheng to the Detroit Tigers for cash considerations, where he could eventually join fellow Taiwanese infielder Hao-Yu Lee in Detroit’s middle infield. Cheng, 25, appeared in 14 games for Boston in 2026, batting .256, and made several notable defensive plays during the team’s 15-game winning streak; he spent most of the season with Triple-A Worcester. The move is part of Boston’s effort to open room on its 40-man roster, with several injured players due to return to it.

The Bears have not endorsed the concept and are pursuing a stadium in Hammond, Indiana, while Arlington Heights and other Illinois options remain under discussion.

Astros Reportedly Favor Brewers’ Kleine for GM

The Houston Astros have identified Milwaukee Brewers assistant general manager Matt Kleine as their leading candidate to replace Dana Brown, though no deal has been finalized. Kleine’s nearly two decades in Milwaukee, where he worked on roster construction and helped build a competitive team without a top-tier payroll, fits owner Jim Crane’s stated interest in that model.
