Jaxon Smith-Njigba Thinks he Should be "Highest-Paid" at his Position

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba isn't in a rush to sign a new deal after winning Super Bowl LX, but the 2025 Offensive Player of the Year did say that he thinks he deserves to "be the highest-paid in my position," according to ESPN's Brady Henderson. It would mean an extension worth more than […]


Kevin McGonigle Starting at Shortstop in Grapefruit League Opener

Detroit Tigers infield prospect Kevin McGonigle is starting at shortstop and is hitting second in the team's Grapefruit League opener on Saturday against the New York Yankees, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. The Tigers have moved McGonigle around to third and second base in camp to increase his chances of making […]


Bo Bichette Batting Third in Mets Spring Training Debut

New York Mets infielder Bo Bichette is starting at third base and batting third in the team's Grapefruit League opener on Saturday against the division-rival Miami Marlins, according to Max Goodman of NJ.com. Despite the injury to Francisco Lindor (hand) that could keep him sidelined to start the 2026 season, the Mets will keep Bichette […]


JJ Wetherholt Playing Second, Batting Fifth in Grapefruit League Opener

St. Louis Cardinals infield prospect JJ Wetherholt is starting at second base and batting fifth on Saturday in the team's Grapefruit League opener against the Washington Nationals, according to Jeff Jones of the Belleville News. The offseason trades of both Nolan Arenado and Brendan Donovan have cleared a path for Wetherholt to be an everyday […]


Kazuma Okamoto Hitting Third in Grapefruit League Opener

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Kazuma Okamoto is starting at third base and batting sixth in the team's Grapefruit League opener on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies, according to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. The Blue Jays will get Okamoto as many at-bats in spring training as they can before the 29-year-old reports to Team Japan for […]


Jorge Polanco Expected to See a Lot of Time as Designated Hitter

New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said the designated hitter spot will be in play "big" time as the team tries to keep infielder Jorge Polanco healthy in 2026, according to Chelsea Janes of SNY. Mendoza also expects infielders Mark Vientos and Brett Baty to get playing time at first base when Polanco is the […]


Ramon Urias Agrees on One-Year Deal With Cardinals

Free-agent infielder Ramon Urias is in agreement with the St. Louis Cardinals on a one-year, $2 million contract on Saturday, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Urias will have a $1.5 million salary in 2026 with a $500,000 buyout on a 2027 mutual option. The deal also includes $2 million in incentives based on […]


Roman Anthony Expected to Hit Leadoff for Boston

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that he sees outfielder Roman Anthony as the team's leadoff hitter this year, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. True to his word, Cora put Anthony in the leadoff spot for the team's Grapefruit League opener on Saturday versus the Minnesota Twins. It's not a huge surprise after […]


Edwin Uceta has Shoulder Inflammation, Slight Impingement

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that right-handed reliever Edwin Uceta was diagnosed with shoulder inflammation and a slight impingement in his right shoulder, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Uceta got a cortisone shot, and the plan is for him to start throwing next weekend. Topkin writes that Uceta could […]


Shohei Ohtani Might Not be Fully Built Up as a Pitcher by Opening Day

MLB.com's Sonja Chen suggests that Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar and four-time MVP Shohei Ohtani is fully expected to begin the 2026 regular season in the starting rotation, but he has limited time to build up as a pitcher while representing Team Japan exclusively as a hitter in the upcoming World Baseball Classic. The Dodgers […]


Dolphins Want to Keep De'Von Achane, Jaylen Waddle

The Miami Dolphins have a new front office and coaching staff and are looking to get younger heading into the 2026 season. The NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports that plenty of teams will be eager to talk to Miami to see which players they might be willing to trade. We already know that the Dolphins […]


Cameron Ward "Recovering Well" From Shoulder Injury

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward (shoulder) is "recovering well" from his right-shoulder AC sprain that he suffered in the Week 18 regular-season finale, according to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network. Ward has been working with the team's quarterbacks coach on his lower body, and the plan is for him to resume throwing the football […]


Travis Etienne Jr. has "Legitimate Interest" in Joining Chiefs

The Kansas City Star's Pete Sweeney reports that Jacksonville Jaguars impending free-agent running back Travis Etienne Jr. has "legitimate interest" in signing with the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency this offseason, according to sources. Chiefs RBs Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco are both scheduled to hit free agency, too, so KC is definitely in […]


Zach Charbonnet Undergoes Knee Surgery on Friday

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) posted on his Instagram account on Friday that he underwent surgery to fix a torn ACL, according to Corbin K. Smith of Emerald Spectrum. Smith explains that it's not uncommon for such a surgery to happen several weeks after the injury occurred, but it pushes Charbonnet's recovery clock […]


Patrick Mahomes "Showing Progress" After Knee Surgery

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee), who has been rehabbing the last two months after having surgery to fix the torn ACL and LCL in his left knee, is "already showing progress," according to ESPN's Nate Taylor. "He's around here all the time," Reid said of Mahomes. "He […]


Yimi Garcia Won't be Ready for Opening Day

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed reliever Yimi Garcia (elbow) said on Friday that he is "a little behind" the other pitchers in camp and will "100%" not be ready for Opening Day in late March, according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet. The 35-year-old veteran reliever had right-elbow surgery in September of last year and is still […]


Dalton Kincaid's Arrow Pointing Up Heading into Contract Year

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid took a step forward as a pass-catcher in 2025, which was pretty impressive considering he played most of the year through a torn PCL in his knee. The 26-year-old former first-rounder played in a career-low 12 regular-season games due to knee and hamstring injuries, catching 39 of his 49 […]


Gerrit Cole Hits 96.9 MPH in First Live Session

New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole (elbow) reached 96.9 mph on the radar gun in his first live batting practice session against hitters in camp on Friday since he had Tommy John surgery last March, according to The Associated Press. Cole threw around 20 pitches to Trent Grisham, Aaron Judge, and Jasson Dominguez. The Yankees […]


Nolan Schanuel Improves Bat Speed, Hoping for More Power

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel improved his average bat speed by 2.3 mph from 2024 to 2025, which was the sixth-best jump in the majors, according to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Schanuel said he spent the offseason working on the same type of drills while also working on his barrel […]


Tyler Mahle Expected to Face Hitters Next Week

San Francisco Giants right-hander Tyler Mahle (illness) is a bit behind the other pitchers in camp because he got sick, but he's expected to face hitters next week, according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports. Mahle should be ready to roll for Opening Day in late March in his first year with the Gigantes after […]


Orioles Place Felix Bautista on 60-Day Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles placed right-handed reliever Felix Bautista (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list on Friday and claimed third baseman Bryan Ramos off waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals in a corresponding move, according to Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan. Bautista had surgery on his right shoulder in August of last year and isn't […]


Sung-Mun Song to Make Spring Training Debut Soon

The San Diego Union-Tribune's Kevin Acee reports that San Diego Padres infielder Sung-Mun Song (oblique) is scheduled to make his Cactus League debut in spring training in the coming days after recovering from a minor oblique injury that he suffered while taking batting practice last month. The 29-year-old took live batting practice in camp on […]


Jason Adam to be Ready for Opening Day?

San Diego Padres right-handed reliever Jason Adam (quadriceps) "remains on track to potentially be ready" for Opening Day in late March, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune's Kevin Acee. Adam said last week that he feels it's realistic for him to be ready for the start of the 2026 season, and he said on Friday […]


Yuki Matsui Dealing With Groin Tightness

San Diego Padres manager Craig Stammen said that left-handed reliever Yuki Matsui (groin) had his live batting practice session cut short in camp on Thursday due to left-groin tightness, according to Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune. Although the injury doesn't sound very serious, it could keep Matsui from participating for Team Japan in […]


Red Sox Want Johan Oviedo to be More Explosive

The Boston Red Sox want right-hander Johan Oviedo's delivery "to be more explosive," according to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. The team wants him to "create more force down the mound." "The extension," manager Alex Cora said. "And that's kind of key for him. We saw him last year, he did a good job against us, […]


Cowboys Waive Logan Wilson

The Dallas Cowboys waived linebacker Logan Wilson on Friday, according to Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News. With the release, the Cowboys will create $6.5 million in salary cap space for the 2026 season. Wilson was traded from the Cincinnati Bengals to the Cowboys midway through the season last year, but he didn't see […]


Isiah Pacheco Unlikely to Return to Chiefs?

The Athletic's Jesse Newell writes that Kansas City Chiefs impending free-agent running back Isiah Pacheco is "likely to sign elsewhere" in free agency this offseason. Pacheco did not show his pre-injury burst out of the backfield in 2025, averaging 3.9 yards per carry while rushing for 462 yards and just one touchdown on 118 rushing […]


Chiefs in Contact With Travis Kelce

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said on Friday that the team has been communicating with impending free-agent tight end Travis Kelce, according to Nate Taylor of ESPN. "There is communication. That's the main thing. That means people want to move forward. I [think] that's where Travis is," Reid said. The 36-year-old 11-time Pro […]


Chiefs Not Talking to Tyreek Hill

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that "nothing is happening there" when discussing whether the Chiefs were in contact with free-agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee), according to Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star. "I don't know if Tyreek is healthy right now to do anything. I'm sure he's working hard on […]


Improving the Running Game a Big Priority for the Broncos

For the second straight season, the Denver Broncos are going into the offseason with a priority to boost their running game, according to Jeff Legwold of ESPN. The Broncos were third in the league win run-block win rate (73.9%), but it didn't result in much production on the ground in 2025. Denver was 15th in […]
