Multiple Teams Interested In Kevin Pillar

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kevin Pillar is generating plenty of interest on the trade market.

Detroit Tiger catching prospect Dillon Dingler is being promoted to the majors and taking the place of the recently traded Carson Kelly.

Tommy Edman Garnering Interest In Trade Market

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) is drawing interest from both the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers. Edman hasn't played yet this year while recovering from multiple injuries, but that hasn't stopped either team from going for the versatile 29-year-old in the trade market. Edman provides quality defense at prime positions and […]

Jack Suwinski Demoted To Minors

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Jack Suwinski was sent down to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday. It's been an extremely disappointing season for the 25-year-old, who came in with some hype after hitting 26 homers and swiping 13 bags in his sophomore season last year. He hasn't been able to live up to it, with an abysmal .184/.266/.327 […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. And Gleyber Torres Likely To Get Reps At Third Base

New York Yankees outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. could see time at third base for his new team, manager Aaron Boone said on Sunday. The dynamic trade deadline acquisition has played a lot of second base and some shortstop in the majors, so the transition to third makes some sense on that front. The Yankees will […]

Craig Kimbrel Implodes In Blown Save

Baltimore Orioles closer Craig Kimbrel had a rough outing on Thursday, coughing up a 6-3 lead in the ninth inning against the Miami Marlins. Kimbrel gave up three runs (one earned) on two walks and two hits. To be fair to him, he probably should've been in a better situation, as Gunnar Henderson bobbled a […]

Corbin Burnes Pitches Into Eighth Inning Against Marlins

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Corbin Burnes had a solid performance on Thursday, tossing 7 ⅓ innings of three-run ball against the Miami Marlins.

Lawrence Butler Stays Scorching Hot

Oakland Athletics outfield Lawrence Butler continued his insane July on Thursday, going 2-for-5 with a homer and a double. Butler drove in a pair and scored twice to round out his stat line. He now has a ridiculous July line with a .413 AVG, 19 runs, nine homers, 26 RBI, and two steals. Given that […]

Chris Sale Dominates Mets On Thursday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale was excellent on Thursday, tossing 7 1/3 innings of two-run ball in a 3-2 extra-innings loss to the New York Mets.

Blake Snell Drawing Plenty Of Trade Interest

The San Francisco Giants are receiving plenty of interest in starting pitcher Blake Snell, who is coming off his third strong start in a row. His past three starts have all come after his latest trip to the IL, but it appears he is healthy now as he has looked more like his 2023 self […]

Kenley Jansen Picks Up Six-Out Save

Boston Red Sox closer Kenley Jansen picked up a rare two-inning save on Sunday, slamming the door on the Kansas City Royals in a 5-4 win. Jansen breezed by the Royals in his first inning of work, striking out all three batters he faced. Things got a bit scary in the ninth, with the Royals […]

Seth Brown Contributes To Barrage With Pair Of Homers

Oakland Athletics first baseman/outfielder Seth Brown had a big day on Sunday, belting two homers in an 18-3 drubbing of the Philadelphia Phillies.
