During this brief […]


Travis Sykora to Attend Big-League Spring Training

Washington Nationals right-handed pitching prospect Travis Sykora (elbow) was invited to spring training.

Jarlin Susana Earns Invite to Spring Training

Washington Nationals right-handed pitching prospect Jarlin Susana (lat) has earned an invite to spring training.

While he showed minimal power potential as he […]


Braden Montgomery to Push for 2026 MLB Debut?

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery could contend for his MLB debut during the second half of the campaign. The team's top prospect, according to MLB.com, made his professional debut at the start of the 2025 season with Low-A. However, the former 12th overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft quickly progressed through the […]


Tommy Troy a Name to Monitor in the Spring

Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Tommy Troy is a name to closely monitor during spring training as he could push to break camp with the MLB roster.

Ethan Holliday Set to Begin 2026 at Low-A?

Colorado Rockies top prospect Ethan Holliday will likely begin the 2026 regular season with Low-A Fresno.

Holiday earned a small 18-game stint […]


Nico Hoerner Viewed as "Perfect Fit" for Red Sox?

According to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic, Chicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner would be a "perfect fit" for the Boston Red Sox.

Red Sox to Pursue Trade for Brett Baty?

According to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com, New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty is considered a potential option for the Red Sox.

Isaac Paredes Remains Potential Trade Target for Boston

Houston Astros second baseman/third baseman Isaac Paredes remains a top trade candidate for the Boston Red Sox.

Brayan Bello Drawing Interest on Trade Market

According to Chris Henrique of The Boston Sports Journal, the Red Sox have received interest in right-handed starting pitcher Brayan Bello.

Bello logged a career-high 166 […]


Moises Ballesteros Set for Large Role In Chicago?

Chicago Cubs catching prospect Moises Ballesteros appears poised to take on a larger role in the major leagues this season. Jordan Bastian of MLB.com notes that with outfielder Owen Caissie now in Miami, Ballesteros faces minimal competition for everyday at-bats and should be in a great position to take on a lead role early in […]


Isaac Paredes Not Guaranteed Starting Role to Begin Season?

Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes may have to earn a starting role during spring training, given the current state of the team's infield. During his first stint with the Astros last season, Isaac Paredes logged 89 of his 102 games at the hot corner, with the other 13 coming as the designated hitter. However, […]


Ben Rice to Play "A Lot" Against Lefties, Primed for Lead Role in 2026?

New York Yankees first baseman Ben Rice is expected to play "a lot "against left-handed pitching, according to Greg Joyce of The New York Post.

However, with Goldschmidt off the […]

According to Evan Pezold of The Detroit Free Press, the Tigers have shown interest in free agent right-handed pitcher Nick Martinez.
