Tony Clark, head of baseball's players' union, said the union is launching an investigation after Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos said he's spoken with other teams to discuss their plans in free agency.

Former Phillies manager Gape Kapler, Astros bench coach Joe Espada and Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro are the final three vying to replace Bruce Bochy as Giants manager, according to multiple reports.

The Astros have moved Reid Ryan into a new role as executive adviser of business relations, while owner Jim Crane's son has joined the team's front office.
