data-mm-id=”_je5btgjnv”>Major League Baseball's hot stove is still simmering. Here are all the latest MLB rumors, including a few big-name guys who could be traded. Indians want final Francisco Lindor trade proposalsKen Rosenthal is reporting the Cleveland Indians want to bring the Francisco Lindor trade saga to a quick end. The Indians have asked for every team's best and final offer, and they will "make an assessment over the weekend." The Reds, Dodgers and Padres are all known to be in pursuit of the All-Star shortstop. The Indians are likely just assessing if they'll get enough to move Lindor this winter. If they don't like the offers presented, then can then just move forward planning to have him around in 2020. They clearly want to get this sorted out before the new year so they can make corresponding moves. Lindor is a 26-year-old four-time All-Star, two-time Gold Glove winner and has won the Silver Slugger twice. He finished 2019 slashing .284/.335/.518 with 32 home runs and 74 RBIs. He's under team control through 2021. Nolan Arenado trade talks heat upLindor isn't the only franchise cornerstone potentially on the move this winter. The Rockies are seriously considering trading away Nolan Arenado. Less than a year after signing Arenado to a seven-year, $260 million extension, Colorado is looking to move it's best player. The Texas Rangers are reportedly going all-in to land Arenado, attempting to make up for missing out on Anthony Rendon. The Braves, Nationals, Cardinals and Dodgers are all interested as well. It would obviously take a lot to land the 28-year-old five-time All-Star and seven-time Gold Glove winner, but the Rockies are clearly listening. Arenado finished 2019 slashing .315/.379/.583 with 41 home runs and 118 RBIs. His fWAR of 5.9 was a career-high and he won his third consecutive National League Platinum Glove Award as the best defender in the league. Mike Clevinger is a popular trade targetThe Indians appear to be open for business across the board as a key starting pitcher could be traded next. Robert Murray of The Athletic reports the Dodgers and Padres are among the teams inquiring about big right-hander Mike Clevinger.While the price for Clevinger currently remains astronomical, the Indians are clearly willing to discuss big moves. The Padres and Dodgers are both in need to starting pitching help and have loaded farm systems. Clevinger finished the 2019 season with a 13-4 record, a 2.71 ERA, a 1.06 WHIP and 169 strikeouts in 126 innings. That followed a 2018 campaign where he went 13-8 with a 3.02 ERA, a 1.16 WHIP and 207 strikeouts in 200 innings. The 28-year-old has developed into a legitimate front-end of the rotation piece and is under team control through the 2022 season. Josh Donaldson decision coming soonJosh Donaldson is reportedly close to making a decision, with the Twins and Nationals believed to have made him four-year offers. The Braves and Dodgers are also reportedly in the mix, but it appears the Rangers have bowed out. If he goes to the Twins, the club is expected to move Miguel Sano from third to first base.Donaldson, is the reigning National League Comeback Player of the year, a three-time All-Star and the 2015 AL MVP. At 34, this could be his final big contract, so expect that to factor into his decision. In 2019, Donaldson was great for the Braves, slashing .259/.379/.521 with 37 home runs and 94 RBIs. He's about to cash in big-time on that performance. Mets getting offers on Yoenis CespedesThe New York Mets are reportedly getting offers on Yoenis Cespedes after the franchise reworked his contract to guarantee him less than $10 million in 2020. After the 34-year-old missed the entire 2019 season, he's not as sought-after as he once was, but may still have some value. Cespedes missed most of 2018 and 2017 due to injury as well, so there are serious questions as to whether or not he can even play a full season. The potential return on a trade for him will be fascinating.

Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick and Neymar made his return from a three-month injury lay-off as Paris Saint-Germain began their Ligue 1 title celebrations with a 3-1 win over visitors Monaco on Sunday.
PSG were already confirmed as champions earlier in the day after second-placed Lille could only draw 0-0 with Toulouse, and Thomas Tuchel s men subsequently played with freedom in an emphatic triumph inspired by Mbappe against his old club.
The lethal Mbappe took only 15 minutes to make his mark at the end of a stunning counter-attack and he doubled his tally just before half-time, rounding off another well-worked move.
Neymar – fit again after breaking his foot in January – came on at the interval to a huge cheer, before Mbappe completed his treble in the …
Wilfried Zaha described his time at Manchester United as hell and slammed the club for failing to offer him adequate support as a young player.
The Ivorian forward arrived at United from Crystal Palace for a reported £10million in June 2013 but played just 28 minutes of Premier League football for the Red Devils before being temporarily sent to Cardiff City.
Zaha returned to Selhurst Park on loan in August 2014 and made a permanent switch to the Eagles in February 2015, bringing end to his association with a club he says never gave him a chance.
Obviously, getting to United isn t easy, so not being given a chance is hard to take, the winger told The Sun.
I went through so much with United, with England. There were rumours that the reason I wasn t play…
Eden Hazard has consistently been one of the Premier League s best players since he joined from Lille in 2012, but he has seemingly found another level following Maurizio Sarri s appointment.
Hazard s start to the 2018-19 season has been truly exceptional, with the Belgium international scoring seven times in eight Premier League games ahead of the visit of Manchester United and former coach Jose Mourinho this weekend.
Sarri s appointment as coach was always highlighted as a potential boost to Chelsea s attackers following more the more pragmatic approaches of Antonio Conte and Mourinho.
It was under the latter that Hazard enjoyed two of his best seasons at Chelsea, but Sarri seems to have transformed him into a player capable of challenging for the Ballon d Or.<…
David Henderson, the organiser of the flight responsible for the deaths of Emiliano Sala and David Ibbotson, has been sentenced to 18 months imprisonment.
Henderson, 67, was last month found guilty of endangering the safety of an aircraft.
Sala was on his way to Cardiff City on January 21, 2019, after signing from Ligue 1 club Nantes for £15million (€20m) when his plane came down over the English Channel, killing the striker, 28, and the pilot, Ibbotson, 59.
The court was previously told Henderson arranged the flight with football agent William McKay and asked Mr Ibbotson to fly the plane as he was in Paris on holiday.
Mr Ibbotson – who did not hold a commercial pilot s licence – was not qualified to fly at night and his rating to fly the single-en…
Australia were forced to settle for a point in their World Cup qualifier against China after a 1-1 draw in the UAE.
After winning 11 games in a row, including a 3-0 victory against China in the reverse fixture in September, the Socceroos are now winless in three – their worst such run since June 2018.
Australia led in this match, though, following a quiet start, as Martin Boyle s cross was headed in emphatically by Mitch Duke seven minutes before the break.
Despite creating little for the first hour, China were level on 70 minutes when James Jeggo was adjudged by a VAR review to have handled in the penalty area, allowing Wu Lei to send Mat Ryan the wrong way from the spot.
Both sides pushed for a winner in the closing stages, but neither came …
According to a recent report from AS, Ivan Rakitic will not be leaving Barcelona during the summer transfer window as many had initially though. The Croatian midfielder is believed to be a big target for Manchester United, although Ernesto Valverde is incredibly eager to keep him on the books at the Nou Camp. Rakitic has been with Barca since back in 2014 when he joined from fellow La Liga club Sevilla, where he had spent the previous three years of his career. At the age of 31 he seems to be moving into the prime of his career, both with club and country.
Barcelona are currently on a great run of form in all competitions, with many tipping them as the favourites to win the UEFA Champions League this season.
Rakitic has been a huge part of that midfield consistency in L…
Vinicius Junior insisted he wants to stay with Real Madrid when asked to put a price tag on his potential worth amid an excellent run of form.
The Brazil international is into his fourth season with LaLiga s leaders and has formed a fruitful partnership with Karim Benzema this campaign to put Madrid eight points clear after 16 games.
The pair rank as the joint-best attacking duo across Europe s top five leagues this term with 22 goals between them, the same amount as Bayern Munich s Robert Lewandowski and Serge Gnabry combined.
Indeed, Vinicius has netted 10 times in 16 top-flight appearances so far, becoming the first player born in 2000 or later to reach double figures for goals in a single LaLiga season.
The former Flamengo attacker was asked to valu…
