Well, this is certainly something. Former D-backs’ closer Paul Sewald, an integral part of the bullpen which reached the 2023 World Series, is apparently coming back to the team. Steve Gilbert was the first to report the deal, confirming it is a major-league contract, rather than a minor-league one with an invite to spring training. […]
On a busy transactional day that saw the Dodgers bring back utility man Kiké Hernández and extend third baseman Max Muncy, they also have signed infielder Keston Hiura to a minor league contract, per multiple reports. Hiura will receive a non-roster invitation to big league camp, per both Jon Heyman of the New York Post […]
The Seattle Seahawks have already lost offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak to the Las Vegas Raiders, and it won’t be a surprise if they lose more assistant coaches following their Super Bowl victory. One name to watch is defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator Karl Scott, who’s been with the team since Pete Carroll was […]
The St. Louis Cardinals revealed their new Spring Training facilities by turning the camera over to Matthew Liberatore for their tour with a creative play on words. As pitchers and catchers have now reported to Jupiter, Florida, Matthew Liberatore and a lone camera person gave a tour of what the new training facilities are like. […]
It was time. Holding out hope that someone – anyone – would give them something in return for Nick Castellanos, the Phillies are instead reportedly releasing the right fielder. This was a move that most everyone saw coming when considering the money still owed Castellanos, but still, the era is over. We’ll have more later. […]
Every year, teams have non-roster invites to Spring Training. They are a mixture of prospects who are not on the 40-man roster and veterans trying to fight their way on to the roster. The Nats have found some gems among their pool of NRI’s the past couple years. In 2024, Jesse Winker was a non-roster […]
Redshirt junior third baseman Mikey Bell and his teammates in Spokane, Washington, have high aspirations for not only winning the seventh and final West Coast Conference regular season title for the Gonzaga Bulldogs baseball program, but an even more important return to the NCAA Tournament regionals for the first time since 2022. Gonzaga received four […]
The Royals announced they have acquired 27-year-old right-hander Mitch Spence from the Athletics in exchange for right-handed pitcher A.J. Causey. Spence pitched in 32 games last year for the A’s, eight starts, with a 5.10 ERA and 66 strikeouts in 84.2 innings. He was designated for assignment earlier this week. Spence was originally a 10th-round […]
With the 2025 season now concluded, we’ll keep track of every transaction by the Dodgers for the entire offseason here, beginning with the advent of free agency on November 2 until the start of spring training. We will update this page throughout the offseason with every transaction, and links below to specific details about every […]
For the third consecutive entry into the free agency series, another elite left-handed reliever is due to be covered. For better or for worse, the Yankees made another splash in the offseason following the 2018 season from a free agent class that featured far more generational talent than the usual crop. Zack Britton, in all […]
As we close out our preseason baseball content, we’ve compiled a list of the top-10 players entering the 2026 season. The season officially starts this weekend, so let’s get right into it so we can enjoy some baseball! 1. Sean Yamaguchi, 3B, Nevada Yamaguchi’s freshman campaign in 2025 was one of the most impressive debut […]
The Kansas City Royals were active in making moves toward the beginning of the offseason. They acquired some key pieces via trades. Nick Mears, Isaac Collins, Matt Strahm. They also signed Lane Thomas. Now, comparatively speaking, the rest of the division did not do a whole lot. The Twins and White Sox are tanking and […]
Today we look at the Cubs’ veteran right-handed starter. Jameson Lee Taillon was born in Lakeland, Florida, 34 years ago. He was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2010 June Amateur Draft, going to the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he toiled for four years, recorded 29 wins against 24 losses, and looked every bit of […]
It has to be said, the bonus months of baseball in Arizona are definitely a plus. When the rest of the country is still digging itself out of snow-drifts, the state becomes a mecca for all the MLB teams in the Western half of the country. It’s like having an All-Star Game in your backyard. […]
The Twins have acquired left-handed reliever Anthony Banda from the Dodgers in exchange for international bonus pool space. Banda was designated for assignment by the Dodgers earlier this week, essentially meaning the Twins gave the Dodgers a bit of cash to jump the waiver line. RHP Jackson Kowar, picked up off the waiver wire last […]
Chase Lee is a 27-year-old, side-arm, right-handed reliever we picked up in trade from the Tigers in December. The Tigers needed a spot on the 40-man roster. And I had totally forgotten he was on the 40-man. I think this is the first one I totally forgot about. I’m not sure if this is true, […]
People who closely follow the Brewers have been wondering: when is William Contreras’ arbitration hearing? In January, the two sides were separated by $1.35 million and did not come to an agreement. We’ve been waiting for news since then, especially in the last two weeks, as the remaining arbitration cases have been heard. Well, Contreras […]
AC Milan travel to the Arena Garibaldi as clear favourites in the Serie A clash against lowly Pisa. While the hosts are level on points with rock-bottom Hellas Verona, Milan have a chance to cut Inter’s lead at the top to five points. Sitting eight points behind neighbourhood rivals Inter, Milan emerge as the only […]
Though there are still land-based ice bergs everywhere I look, it is somehow baseball season this Friday. The Diamond Dores, as seemingly happens every year, open with a three game mini-tournament of sorts in Arlington, Tejas called “The Shriner’s Children’s College Showdown.” I’d say be on the lookout for fez-clad Boomers driving mini cars and/or […]
The Dodgers found a new home for Anthony Banda, trading the veteran left-handed reliever to the Minnesota Twins on Thursday for international bonus pool space, the teams announced. The amount of bonus pool space traded is reportedly $500,000, per Francys Romero. By rule, teams can trade space in increments of $250,000 unless trading the entirety […]
It has long been speculated that Rams tight end Tyler Higbee could retire this year, but one thing for certain is that his contract will expire next week. Higbee’s contract officially voids on February 16th. Higbee had 91 yards in the season finale against the Cardinals and was still a part of the offense in […]
Spring training is the time to hear about who is in the best shape of their life, which teams might be cursed with injuries (not a great start for the Braves), and potential adjustments players make. While the narrative is that the Phillies are “running it back” and that everything will remain static year to […]
At the USTA invitational, Gretna freshman Alexis Jensen surrendered 5 home runs and gave up 19 hits in 10.1 innings of work. But she also struck out 21 batters while walking no one and displayed the stuff which led Coach Rhonda Revelle to pop her right into the #2 spot in the Huskers rotation to […]
After stepping aside on the first day of spring training so that teammate Framber Valdez could have the stage, it was Justin Verlander’s turn on Thursday. Scott Harris and Jeff Greenberg introduced him to the media on Thursday morning, and we go the first image in almost nine years of Verlander in the classic Detroit […]
Joining our 2026 prospect rankings at #19 overall, Beilenson is our first of a few pure relief prospects we’ll see on the back half of our rankings this year. Something that’s been atypical in recent seasons, with the large exodus of prospect talent over the past year and change, some of these higher floor relief […]
