Jason Garrett Not On The Hot Seat

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that head coach Jason Garrett is not on the hot seat entering the 2018 season and that this isn't a "playoffs or bust" year for the head coach. Garrett is entering his eighth full season and holds a 67-53 record during that time with two playoff appearances. He also […]

Earl Thomas Prepared To Hold Out During Season

There is belief around the league that Seattle Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas is prepared to sit out through training camp and into the regular season. Thomas won't play without a new deal or a trade, and there is "zero chance" Seattle will give him a contract extension. It's a messy situation that appears likely […]

Aaron Donald May Be Willing To Hold Out During Season

There is belief around the league that Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald will not play another down on his current contract. His holdout is likely to last until he receives a new deal. That wouldn't be good for the Rams defense as a whole, but we doubt the Rams will let Donald hold […]

Jon Gruden, Khalil Mack Haven't Been In Contact

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden and defensive end Khalil Mack haven't spoken once since Gruden was hired as the new head coach in January. It's an interesting development for a player that is holding out for a new contract. Mack is the most important player on the defense and is looking to break the […]

Tyler Eifert Expected To Start On PUP List

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert (back) is expected to begin training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to a source. Eifert tweaked his back in the spring but has been feeling good. Nobody should be shocked. In five seasons in the NFL, he's never played a full season and has played […]

Tommy Milone To Start Thursday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Tommy Milone is being called up to start on Thursday against the Marlins in place of Stephen Strasburg (neck), according to a source. Milone has a 4.19 ERA in 20 starts for Triple-A Syracuse and could be a viable streaming choice against the weak Miami offense in the deepest of leagues.

Dodgers Eyeing Shane Greene

The Los Angeles Dodgers were eyeing Detroit Tigers closer Shane Greene before his injury and have had scouts watching him in recent days. Greene would just be a setup man to closer Kenley Jansen in LA, so he'd lose most of his fantasy luster with a trade to Hollywood. If Greene is traded, Joe Jimenez […]

Jose Iglesias Drawing Interest

Detroit Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias has drawn trade interest mostly for his defensive ability. The Brewers have been reported to be seeking a more offensively-minded middle infielder. The Phillies are also looking for an upgrade at shortstop. Iglesias is hitting .265 with four home runs and 41 RBI, but he's also provided 12 stolen bases. […]

Red Sox Scouting Francisco Liriano

The Boston Red Sox were scouting Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Francisco Liriano during his start against the Royals on Wednesday. Boston is seeking bullpen help and currently do not have a lefty in their bullpen. The veteran lefty is 3-5 with a 4.73 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and only 69 strikeouts in 83 2/3 innings, but […]

Jose Altuve Day-To-Day

Updating a previous report, Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (knee) is being listed as day-to-day. Manager A.J. Hinch said Altuve has been bothered by his right knee for a few games. The Astros have the day off on Thursday, so Altuve could be back in the lineup on Friday. It's good news for the […]

Cowboys Not Expecting Terrance Williams To Be Suspended

The Dallas Cowboys aren't expecting wide receiver Terrance Williams to be hit with a suspension by the league. Williams could be the No. 2 receiver behind Allen Hurns with Dez Bryant no longer in town, but you can do much better in fantasy leagues. The 28-year-old has struggled with drops in his career and is […]

Christian McCaffrey Set For Much Bigger Workload

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that getting running back Christian McCaffrey the ball 25 to 30 times a game would be "ideal." That might be feasible if McCaffrey was the do-everything back, but the Panthers brough C.J. Anderson in through free agency to be the early-down back, so it's unlikely McCaffrey sees that […]

Blue Jays Interested In Brandon Drury

The Toronto Blue Jays are interested in New York Yankees infielder Brandon Drury, according to sources. Toronto general manager Ross Atkins comes from the Indians executive tree and Cleveland evaluators always liked Drury. The Indians almost traded for Drury just before the Yankees did last February. Drury could also be part of a bigger package […]

Yankees Could Be Interested In Cole Hamels

The New York Yankees could be interested in trading for Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cole Hamels. Starting pitching is New York's biggest area of need and sources indicate that Hamels is one of the pitchers the Yankees are evaluating. The left-hander is 1-3 with a 10.23 ERA in his last five starts, though, and has […]

Falcons Hoping To Get Something Done With Julio Jones

The Atlanta Falcons are "hopeful" of getting something done with wide receiver Julio Jones, who is holding out of training camp, according to a team source. Both sides have been discussing a contract extension for a while now. Something could get worked out before the start of the regular season. The veteran Jones disappointed fantasy […]

Padres Not Willing To Trade Top Prospects For Chris Archer

The San Diego Padres have inquired about Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer, but they are unwilling to include prospects Fernando Tatis Jr. or MacKenzie Gore, who are their top two prospects. San Diego is believed to be willing to give up one or two of their next three prospects from MLB.com's top-30 list. […]

Teams Still Interested In Cole Hamels

Despite the fact that Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cole Hamels has struggled in his last five starts, sources said there remains interest in him on the trade market. The veteran southpaw has been shelled for 25 earned runs over 22 innings in his last five starts for an ERA of 10.23. It's gotten to the […]

Rockies Close To Acquiring Seung Hwan Oh

The Colorado Rockies are close to landing Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Seung Hwan Oh. This makes total sense, as the Rockies have one of the worst bullpens in all of baseball. Even closer Wade Davis is 0-3 with a bloated 4.61 ERA and 1.22 WHIP despite 28 saves. Oh would immediately become the team's […]

Andre Ethier Announces Retirement

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier officially announced his retirement on Wednesday. He played all 12 of his seasons with the Dodgers and made the All-Star team twice. He will finish with a total of 162 home runs, 687 RBI and a .285 average. Ethier played in just 36 games the last two years due […]

Brandon Belt Has Hyperextended Knee

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) suffered a hyperextended right knee on Wednesday and will be out a minimum of two to three days. Belt entered Wednesday hitting .277 with 14 home runs and 43 RBI over 310 at-bats, so he's been useful in pretty much all formats. He could still land on […]

Brandon Graham Likely To Start On PUP

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham (ankle) is likely to start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to sources. Graham had surgery on his ankle in May after playing with a sprained ankle in the Super Bowl. The 30-year-old had 47 tackles and a career-high 9.5 sacks for Philly last year. […]

Rays To Promote Michael Perez

The Tampa Bay Rays will call up catcher Michael Perez to join the team on Thursday. Adam Moore will be designated for assignment in a corresponding move. The Rays just acquired Perez in a trade that sent pitcher Matt Andriese to Arizona on Wednesday. Perez wasn't even on Arizona's list of top-30 prospects per MLB.com, but […]

Blue Jays Close To Trading Seung Hwan Oh

The Toronto Blue Jays appear to be close to trading relief pitcher Seung Hwan Oh, and the trade could be completed on Wednesday, according to sources. Oh has posted a tidy 2.68 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 55 strikeouts in 47 innings with one save for Toronto this year. He had 20 saves last season with […]

Corey Coleman Will Start If Josh Gordon Isn't Available

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said wide receiver Corey Coleman would start opposite Jarvis Landry if Josh Gordon isn't available. It basically confirms what we already know: that Coleman is third on the depth chart behind Gordon and Landry. However, rookie Antonio Callaway is healthy and could pass up Coleman during the season if […]

Cameron Meredith Won't Go On PUP

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith (knee) will not start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to head coach Sean Payton. The team will play it smart with Meredith during practices, though, and will manage his workload. Meredith sat out all of last year but had 66 catches for 888 […]

Carson Wentz Won't Go On PUP List

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) will not go on the Physically Unable to Perform list but will be limited in practices in training camp. The Eagles will understandably take it slow with their star quarterback, but every indication points to him being ready for Week 1. He blew up in his second year with […]

Cubs Unsure If Javier Baez Will Play Thursday

Chicago Cubs second baseman Javier Baez's (knee) status is unknown for Thursday's game. Baez hurt his knee after a player slid into him on Tuesday, and he didn't play Wednesday. The injury isn't believed to be too serious, though, so even if Baez misses the game on Thursday, he could be back on Friday. The […]

Zay Jones To Miss The Start Of Training Camp

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) was placed on the Non-Football Injury list on Wednesday for the start of training camp, and he won't be on the practice field starting Thursday. Once he's medically cleared, he can be taken off the list and start practicing. Jones was a rookie bust, catching 27 passes for […]

Cowboys Haven't Discussed Earl Thomas Recently

Dallas Cowboys executive Stephen Jones said the team has had no recent trade talks regarding Seattle Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas. The last time the two clubs talked was during the draft. Thomas isn't reporting to training camp because he wants an extension that the team is unwilling to give him. He wants to be […]

Domingo Santana Pulled From Minor League Game

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Domingo Santana was pulled out of his game with Triple-A Colorado Springs on Wednesday. With trade rumors swirling, Santana could be involved in a deal. Santana was sent to the minors in late June after hitting .249 with three home runs and 17 RBI in 189 at-bats. With a stacked outfield, he […]
