Dolphins Extend Nick O'Leary

The Miami Dolphins signed tight end Nick O'Leary to a one-year contract extension on Saturday. O'Leary was a sixth-round pick of the Bills in 2015. He has seven catches on eight targets for 77 yards and a touchdown with Miami this year and isn't a fantasy option behind tight end Mike Gesicki.

Padres Settle With Bryan Mitchell

The San Diego Padres avoided salary arbitration with starting pitcher Bryan Mitchell on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $910,000 deal. Mitchell was a bust in his first year in San Diego, going 2-4 with a 5.42 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and ugly 4.7 K/9 over 16 outings (11 starts) for the Friars. He'll have a […]

Diamondbacks Non-Tender Brad Boxberger, Others

The Arizona Diamondbacks non-tendered relief pitcher Brad Boxberger, starting pitcher Shelby Miller and infielder Chris Owings on Friday, making them all free agents. Boxberger started the year as Arizona's closer but was booted from the role and finished 3-7 with a 4.39 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 32 saves and 71 K's in 53 1/3 innings. At […]

Blake Parker Becomes Free Agent

The Los Angeles Angels non-tendered closer Blake Parker on Friday, making him a free agent, according to a source. Parker had a nice 3.26 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 14 saves and 70 strikeouts in 66 1/3 innings, so he should be scooped up rather quickly by a team looking for relief help. However, the right-hander won't […]

C.J. Cron To Make $4.8 Million In 2019

The Minnesota Twins avoided salary arbitration with first baseman C.J. Cron on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $4.8 million deal. Cron was claimed off waivers from the Rays after he hit a career-high 30 home runs in 501 at-bats in 2018. The big first baseman/designated hitter type doesn't do a whole lot else, though. […]

Indians Avoid Arbitration With Danny Salazar

The Cleveland Indians avoided salary arbitration with pitcher Danny Salazar on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $4.5 million deal. Salazar was limited to 23 games (19 starts) in 2018 due to injuries and ineffectiveness and had a 4.28 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and career-high 12.7 K/9. With better health, he's expected to be a full-time […]

Nationals Acquire Yan Gomes Friday

The Washington Nationals acquired catcher Yan Gomes from the Indians on Friday in exchange for pitcher Jefry Rodriguez, outfield prospect Daniel Johnson and a player to be named. Gomes, who hit 16 home runs in 2018, will form a duo behind the plate with the recently signed Kurt Suzuki. Even though Gomes will be splitting […]

Brewers Non-Tender Jonathan Schoop, Xavier Cedeno

The Milwaukee Brewers non-tendered second baseman Jonathan Schoop and relief pitchers Xavier Cedeno and Dan Jennings on Friday, making them free agents. Schoop was an All-Star in 2017 when he hit a career-high 32 home runs with the Orioles, but he fell flat after his trade to Milwaukee and hit just .233 with 21 homers […]

Tyler Saladino Avoids Arbitration

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Tyler Saladino avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $887,500 deal on Friday. Saladino is merely a utility infielder for the Brew Crew after hitting .246/.299/.397 with five home runs and 16 RBI in 126 at-bats in 2018. He's not much of a fantasy option, even in NL-only leagues.

C.J. Prosise An Injured Reserve Candidate

Seattle Seahawks head coach Peter Carroll said running back C.J. Prosise (abdomen, groin) has been dealing with his injury for a while, and there is no timetable for his return. He is currently week-to-week and could be a candidate for Injured Reserve if the team needs a roster spot. Prosise has just one carry for […]

Chiefs Releasing Kareem Hunt

Updating an ongoing story, the Kansas City Chiefs are releasing running back Kareem Hunt on Friday after he was placed on the commissioner's exempt list. A video surfaced on Friday that showed Hunt kicking and shoving a woman in a Cleveland hotel from an incident in February of this year. He's likely facing a six-game […]

Kareem Hunt Placed On Exempt List

The NFL placed Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt on paid administrative leave on Friday after a video surfaced that shows Hunt pushing and kicking a woman inside a Cleveland hotel from February. He was officially placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List. Hunt will not be allowed to practice with the team or attend […]

Hernan Perez Avoids Arbitration

The Milwaukee Brewers and infielder Hernan Perez avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.5 million deal. Perez hit .253/.290/.386 with nine home runs, 29 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 316 at-bats with the Brew Crew in 2018. He could have a bigger role in 2019 as the starting second baseman if the […]

Kareem Hunt Sent Home Friday

The Kansas City Chiefs sent running back Kareem Hunt home from the practice facility on Friday upon learning of the release of the video that shows Hunt shoving and kicking a woman in a hotel from earlier this year. The most likely short-term resolution is for Hunt to be placed on the commissioner's exempt list, […]

Cole Beasley Suffers Sprained Foot Thursday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley (foot) sprained his right foot in the Thursday night upset of the Saints. It's an injury that could sideline him in a key divisional matchup against the Eagles in Week 14. A source said that Beasley should be regarded as week-to-week for now. He leads the team with 468 […]

Martavis Bryant Questionable For Week 13

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant (knee) is questionable for Week 13 against the Chiefs despite missing practice all week. Bryant hasn't played since Nov. 11 and is unlikely to suit up this Sunday. He belongs on the waiver wire in most leagues. Expect Jordy Nelson, Seth Roberts and rookie Marcell Ateman to be the […]

Nationals In Discussions For Yan Gomes

The Washington Nationals are in serious discussions about a trade for Cleveland Indians catcher Yan Gomes, according to sources. The Nats signed Kurt Suzuki already this offseason, but they'd like to pair another backstop with him in 2019. Gomes is coming off a 2018 season in which he batted .266/.313/.449 with 16 home runs and […]

Avisail Garcia To Be Non-Tendered

The Chicago White Sox will non-tender outfielder Avisail Garcia, making him a free agent. This comes a year after he hit .330 with 18 home runs as an All-Star. Garcia hit a poor .236/.281/.438 with a career-high 19 long balls and 49 RBI in only 93 games for the Pale Hose in 2018, though, and […]

Aqib Talib Officially Activated From IR

The Los Angeles Rams officially activated cornerback Aqib Talib (ankle) from Injured Reserve on Friday, which is an indication he'll make his return in Week 13 against the Lions. Talib hasn't played since injuring his ankle on Sept. 23, so he should be expected to be limited if he's active this Sunday. Still, Talib's veteran […]

J.J. Watt Questionable To Face Browns

Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 13 against the Browns after getting in a limited practice on Friday. We'd be surprised if Watt didn't suit up this Sunday, although you'll need to check back on Sunday morning. The beastly pass rusher had a season-high nine tackles, 1.5 sacks […]

Indians In Extension Talks With Carlos Carrasco

The Cleveland Indians are in contract extension talks with starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco, according to sources. He is signed at $9.75 million in 2019 with a $10.25 million team option for 2020. Carrasco, along with Corey Kluber and Trevor Bauer, is on the trade market this winter, but he seems to be the likeliest of […]

Bruce Ellington Questionable Against Rams

Detroit Lions wide receiver Bruce Ellington (back) is questionable for Week 13 against the Rams. Ellington played through his injury last week and has 16 targets and 12 catches for 80 yards in the last two games. With Marvin Jones out for the year, Ellington has been needed in the passing game. In a game […]

Marquise Goodwin, Pierre Garcon Ruled Out

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that wide receivers Marquise Goodwin (personal) and Pierre Garcon (knee) have been ruled out for Week 13 against the Seahawks. It'll be Goodwin's second straight absence while dealing with family matters. Garcon hasn't played since a Thursday matchup with Oakland on Nov. 1. The team will roll […]

Wilmer Flores Will Be Non-Tendered

The New York Mets will non-tender infielder Wilmer Flores on Friday, making him a free agent. The Mets are going in a new direction after Flores hit .267/.319/.417 with 11 home runs and 51 RBI in 126 games in 2018. He has the ability to play shortstop, third base and first base and has some […]

Matt Davidson To Become Free Agent

The Chicago White Sox will non-tender third baseman Matt Davidson, making him a free agent, according to a source. Davidson had a career-high 23 home runs in 123 games with the White Sox in 2018, but he also hit just .228/.319/.419 and is a career .226 hitter in his four big league seasons. There's just […]

Kerryon Johnson Out, Michael Roberts Doubtful

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) is out for Week 13 against the Rams, while tight end Michael Roberts (shoulder) is listed as doubtful despite being limited in practice all week. Receiver Brandon Powell (calf) has also been ruled out. The Lions are running out of offensive weapons with Marvin Jones also out […]

Darren Sproles Expects To Play Monday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) expects to play on Monday night against the Redskins. Sproles hasn't played since being injured in the season opener, but it looks like the Eagles will have him available in Week 13. Rookie Josh Adams has taken over lead-back duties, but Sproles could see some action in passing […]

Kareem Hunt Might Not Play In Week 13

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt can't play in Week 13 against the Raiders after a video surfaced of him shoving and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel in February of this year. It's unknown when Hunt will be allowed to play and for how long the NFL plans to suspend him. This […]

Kareem Hunt In Hot Water

Video footage has surfaced of Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt shoving and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel from Feb. 10 of this year. Police reports were created for the incident, but no charges were filed. The Chiefs have yet to release a statement on Hunt. This surely does not look good […]

Phillies Might Be Interested In Jean Segura

The Philadelphia Phillies might still have interest in trading for Seattle Mariners shortstop Jean Segura alone if second baseman Robinson Cano and closer Edwin Diaz are shipped to the Mets, according to sources. The Phillies have interest in free-agent shortstop Manny Machado, but they might not want to wait around if they can get Segura […]
