Ravens Have Been Active In Receiver Market

The Baltimore Ravens have been fairly active in the wide receiver market this offseason. They have looked into free-agent Odell Beckham Jr. and have also discussed the possibility of trading for Arizona Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins and Denver Broncos pass-catcher Courtland Sutton. Baltimore seems open to adding a quality outside receiver, whether they retain quarterback […]

Baker Mayfield, Kyle Trask To Compete In Training Camp

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles called "game on" for Baker Mayfield versus Kyle Trask at quarterback in training camp this summer. "Some competitive juice to go along with Trask. Baker's won in college, he's been to the playoffs as a pro, and he brings us a lot of leadership. I think this style […]

Broncos Could Still Trade Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton

The Denver Broncos aren't hanging up the phone when teams call them about wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton. The Broncos need picks in the draft and know they could get something of value in return for either Jeudy or Sutton. However, with a month before the draft, Denver is still asking for a […]

DeAndre Hopkins To Stay With Cardinals?

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said he expects wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to remain with the team. Hopkins is set to count just under $30 million against the 2023 salary cap, though, and the team would save around $9 million and carry around $21 million in dead money this year if they traded him, […]

Jets The Most Likely Landing Spot For Odell Beckham Jr.

Free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has offers on the table from multiple teams, but the New York Jets are the most likely landing spot, according to a source.

Panthers Not Settled On One QB For No. 1 Pick

A very unscientific poll of sources that ESPN's Dan Graziano spoke with at the owners meetings this week told him that most people expect the Carolina Panthers to take Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. However, head coach Frank Reich was adamant that the team is going […]

Lamar Jackson Not Seeking Fully Guaranteed Deal

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who has requested a trade this offseason, isn't believed to be demanding a fully guaranteed deal.

Nathan Peterman Re-Signs With Bears

Veteran quarterback Nathan Peterman re-signed an undisclosed deal with the Chicago Bears on Thursday, according to a source.

Max Fried Likely To Land On Injured List

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said that left-hander Max Fried (hamstring) will likely go on the injured list after straining his hamstring on Opening Day on Thursday against the Washington Nationals.

Tylor Megill To Start On Saturday Against Marlins

With New York Mets starting pitcher Justin Verlander (shoulder) opening the year on the 15-day injured list, right-hander Tylor Megill will now start on Saturday against the Miami Marlins.

Ryan Pepiot Put On IL, Michael Grove To Start In Rotation

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Ryan Pepiot (oblique) is starting the 2023 regular season on the 15-day injured list with a left oblique strain, and Michael Grove will take his place on the Opening Day roster.

Corbin Carroll Hitting Seventh Against Dodgers

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is starting in center field and is hitting seventh in the batting order on Opening Day on Thursday night against left-hander Julio Urias and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Oscar Colas Not In Opening Day Lineup

Chicago White Sox outfielder Oscar Colas is not in the team's starting lineup on Opening Day on Thursday. Instead, Romy Gonzalez will get the start in right field and bat ninth against the Houston Astros and left-hander Framber Valdez.

Houston Astros right-hander Hunter Brown (back) said he is starting on Monday against the Detroit Tigers.

Yordan Alvarez Won't Play Every Day Initially

Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown said on Thursday that outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (hand) won't play every day to start the 2023 regular season. Alvarez is starting in left field and is hitting third in the batting order on Opening Day on Thursday against right-hander Dylan Cease and the Chicago White Sox, but he'll […]

Jeremy Pena Leading Off On Opening Day

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena is starting at the 6 and is hitting leadoff on Opening Day on Thursday against the Chicago White Sox and right-hander Dylan Cease. Pena should serve as the team's leadoff hitter until second baseman Jose Altuve (thumb) is able to return from a fractured right thumb. Batting in the leadoff […]

Cody Bellinger Hitting Cleanup In Debut With Cubs

Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger is starting in center field and is hitting cleanup on Opening Day on Thursday against right-hander Corbin Burnes and the Milwaukee Brewers.

Adalberto Mondesi Placed On 60-Day Injured List

The Boston Red Sox placed shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (knee) on the 60-day injured list on Thursday.

Extension Deadline Almost Here For Bryan Reynolds

There has been plenty of conversation on a potential contract extension for Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds, with the deadline viewed as first pitch on Opening Day on Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds at 4:10 pm ET. Both sides have moved and there seems to be genuine interest in getting something done. Reynolds is starting […]

Anthony Volpe Batting Ninth In MLB Debut

New York Yankees shortstop prospect Anthony Volpe is starting at shortstop and is batting ninth in his major-league debut on Opening Day on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants and right-hander Logan Webb. Putting Volpe in the nine-hole will take some pressure off the young shortstop, but it will also keep his fantasy ceiling low. […]

Joey Meneses Batting Second Against Braves

Washington Nationals first baseman Joey Meneses is serving as the designated hitter and is batting second on Opening Day on Thursday against left-hander Max Fried and the Atlanta Braves. Meneses should be an everyday player for the Nationals between DH, first base and the outfield. Right fielder Lane Thomas is leading off for the Nats, […]
