MLB Mailbag: Alcantara, Caglianone, Rangers, Rockies
This week’s Mailbag looks at possible extensions for Sandy Alcantara and Jac Caglianone, the Rangers’ longer-term outlook and what the Rockies can do with struggling shortstop Ezequiel Tovar and his long-term contract. Let’s get into it! Chris asks: What might a Sandy Alcantara extension look like? Not that long ago, I’d have started any question […]

White Sox Designate Joe Rock For Assignment
The White Sox announced their previously-reported waiver claim of catcher Jake Rogers. To open a 40-man roster spot, left-hander Joe Rock has been designated for assignment.

Mets Release Andy Ibáñez
The Mets released veteran infielder/outfielder Andy Ibáñez, who’d been playing for their Triple-A affiliate, reports Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com. New York picked him up off waivers from the A’s in late April and then passed Ibáñez through waivers a few weeks later. He’s been with the Mets’ Syracuse affiliate since that time. Ibáñez, 33, has […]
White Sox Claim Jake Rogers
The White Sox have claimed catcher Jake Rogers off waivers from the Red Sox, reports Chris Cotillo of MassLive. Boston designated him for assignment earlier this week.

Orioles Reinstate Chris Bassitt From 60-Day IL
The Orioles have reinstated righty Chris Bassitt from the 60-day injured list, per a club announcement. Baltimore had an open 40-man spot, so the O’s only needed to free up a spot on the 26-man roster for Bassitt. That was accomplished by optioning right-handed reliever Yaramil Hiraldo to Triple-A Norfolk. Bassitt, 37, has been out […]
Top Prospects To Watch At Rookie Cutoff
Since the implementation of the 2022 collective bargaining agreement, the middle of August has been a common time for top prospects to make their debuts. That CBA introduced the Prospect Promotion Incentive, which can provide teams an extra draft pick if they carry a rookie-eligible top prospect on their MLB roster for an entire season […]
Giants To Host 2028 All-Star Game
Major League Baseball announced Friday morning that the Giants will host the 2028 All-Star Game at Oracle Park in San Francisco.

The Opener: Cavalli, Ashcraft, Scherzer
The Tigers shut out the Guardians on Thursday behind 6 1/3 strong innings from Keider Montero. The righty, along with two relievers, kept Cleveland off the board without recording a strikeout.

White Sox Release Eric Haase
The White Sox released catcher Eric Haase from a minor league contract, as Brooke Fletcher of Chicago Sports Network was among those to report. He had signed with the Sox just a couple weeks ago.

Twins Designate Alex Jackson For Assignment
The Twins have designated third catcher Alex Jackson for assignment, reports Dan Hayes of The Athletic. Minnesota’s 40-man roster count drops to 39.

Dodgers Sign Jonathan Hernández
The Dodgers announced they’ve added reliever Jonathan Hernández back to the big league club. Landon Knack was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City to open a bullpen spot. It’s a quick turnaround for Hernández. He was just designated for assignment on Monday. Hernández cleared outright waivers today, according to the MLB.com transaction log. He elected free […]
Dodgers, Chadwick Tromp Agree To Minor League Deal
The Dodgers are signing catcher Chadwick Tromp to a minor league contract. He has been assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City, reports OKC broadcaster Alex Freedman. That explains why Los Angeles released Chuckie Robinson earlier today.

Royals Sign Tony Gonsolin To Major League Deal
The Royals announced that they have signed right-hander Tony Gonsolin to a major league deal for a 2026 with a club option for 2027. Gonsolin has been immediately placed on the 15-day injured list.

Dodgers Release Chuckie Robinson
The Dodgers have released catcher Chuckie Robinson, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. The backstop had been designated for assignment and passed through outright waivers last week.

Poll: Checking In On The NL MVP Race
Back in June, I wrote about the early front-runners in the American League MVP conversation. I didn’t do the same for the National League because there wasn’t much conversation to be had. At the time, Shohei Ohtani was hitting .302 with 14 home runs and a league-leading .975 OPS. Even more impressive was his 1.06 […]
Rockies Outright Edouard Julien
The Rockies announced that infielder Edouard Julien has cleared waivers and been sent outright to Triple-A Albuquerque. He had been designated for assignments earlier this week when Colorado recalled outfielder Zac Veen. Julien, now 27, once seemed like a potential building block for the Twins. As a minor leaguer, he wasn’t a strong defender and […]
Giants Claim Shay Whitcomb
The Giants announced that they have claimed infielder Shay Whitcomb off waivers from the Astros and assigned him to Triple-A Sacramento. Houston designated him for assignment earlier this week.

The Bucs […]
Red Sox Place Garrett Whitlock On Injured List
11:42am: The Sox formally announced Whitlock’s placement on the 15-day IL. It’s retroactive to Aug. 10, so he can return in as little as 12 days.
