After a surprisingly busy Wednesday, here are three things well be keeping an eye on around the baseball world throughout the day today: 1. Extension season continues: Extension season has bled into the regular season this year, and thats never been more apparent than it was yesterday, when three long-term deals got hammered out: and the Padres hammered out a early yesterday morning, while the Red Sox and put the finishing touches on a thats been anticipated since the weekend. The Diamondbacks also got in on the fun with their fourth extension of 2025, agreeing to a with franchise face . Given their proximity to Chris Paul Jersey Opening Day, each of these deals is in some ways more akin to a Spring Training extension, since the sides surely did the majority of the negotiating before the season began. Could other rumored po sible extension targets be signed to deals in the coming days? The Phillies were known to have at least some interest in extensions with slugger and catcher , while the Blue Jays are of course hoping to sign to an extension despite the stars public indications that he expects to test free agency. 2. Series Preview: Reds @ Brewers The early days of the 2025 season have been tough on two expected potential contenders for the NL Central crown: the Brewers and Reds. Both clubs are 2-4 through their first six games of the season, with the Reds having suffered back-to-back 1-0 lo ses against the Rangers entering this series while the Brewers found themselves outscored bye an eye-popping 43-13 margin acro s three games against the Yankees and Royals from Saturday to Monday. Difficult as the start of the season has been for both clubs, however, one of the two clubs will make some progre s the rest of the week as the two face off in a four-game set. The series kicks off at 6:40pm local time in Milwaukee this evening, with southpaw (3.77 ERA in 2024) on the mound for the Brewers as he seeks redemption after surrendering five homers to the Yankees in just two innings during his first start of the year. Hell be facing a fellow southpaw today, as the Reds are expected to go with (4.76 ERA in 2024) after a solid start against San Francisco his first time out. Tomorrows game will see veteran (3.10 ERA in 2024) take the mound against an as-of-yet unannounced Brewers starter, while Saturdays game will see Cincinnatis (3.71 ERA in 2024) square off against Milwaukees (career 9.49 ERA in 37 MLB innings). On Sunday, the clubs will wrap things up as the Reds send swingman (5.46 ERA in 2024) to the mound opposite Brewers rookie , who has a 3.18 ERA in 5 2/3 innings of work so far this year. 3. DFA Resolutions expected: When players are designated for a signment, clubs have one week to either trade the DFAd player or attempt to pa s them through waivers. That seven-day window is closing today for two players who have been in DFA limbo since the start of the season: catcher/outfielder , and infielder . Hummel, 30, is a career .159/.255/.275 hitter in the majors who has bounced between the Diamondbacks, Mariners, and Astros over the years. He was in contention for a spot on Houstons bench this spring but ultimately lost out on the job when the club opted to promote top prospect to the majors. As for Rosario, the 25-year-old has spent his entire pro career in the Padres organization this point. Hes gotten just 100 plate appearances over three seasons with the club, but a .245/.283/.500 slash line with five homers, a triple, and seven doubles during that time suggests the versatile infielder has intriguing pop. If Hummel and Rosario go unclaimed on waivers today, their clubs will have the opportunity to outright them to the minor leagues and keep them in the fold as non-roster depth going forward this year. With that being said, Hummel has a previous outright a signment in his career and can reject a second a signment in favor of free agency should he so choose. Kenny Wooten Jersey
