Mason Albright Bounces Back With 11 Strikeouts

Los Angeles Angels pitching prospect Mason Albright has developed into a solid arm within the organization despite being a 12th-round pick. That's good news, after all, considering Los Angeles' approach over the last few years has been to draft and develop as many young hurlers as possible. Albright's fastball lacks game-changing velocity, but it's still […]

Tampa Bay Rays pitching prospect Duncan Davitt joined the organization as an 18th-round pick in the 2022 draft.

The right-hander's repertoire is highlighted by his […]

Xavier Edwards Tearing Up Triple-A

Miami Marlins infield prospect Xavier Edwards was acquired from the Rays last November, but his contributions to the big-league club have been limited due to a crowded roster.

With the 19th pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, the Tampa Bay Rays selected shortstop Brayden Taylor. While the Rays sometimes use their draft picks in unorthodox ways, Taylor is far from a surprise.
