Colorado Rockies top prospect Ethan Holliday will likely begin the 2026 regular season with Low-A Fresno. The Rockies selected the infielder with the fourth overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft out of Stillwater HS. However, the Rockies gave Holliday a brief taste of the pros following the draft. 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.

NHL Power Rankings: Where Do All 32 Teams Stand Ahead of Week 17?

Week 16 of the NHL campaign is in the books, and it's time to update our power rankings once again.

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. Henrique notes that, given Boston's starting pitching depth, teams have begun to call to acquire Bello. Additionally, the team has started "quietly" gauging his value on the trade market. 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. Last season, Rice was typically held out against left-handed pitchers, with the Yankees instead deploying Paul Goldschmidt at first base, who performed well against southpaws. However, with Goldschmidt off the […]


Tigers Showing Interest in Nick Martinez

According to Evan Pezold of The Detroit Free Press, the Tigers have shown interest in free agent right-handed pitcher Nick Martinez. Additionally, the Tigers have also shown interest in other proven options on the open market, such as Jose Quintana and Chris Bassitt.

According to Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic, free agent starting pitcher Max Scherzer is not in a rush to sign a contract.

He began the 2025 season with High-A Cedar Rapids and held a .293/.385/.479 slash line across a 54-game stint. He then earned a ticket to Double-A Wichita, where he continued to […]


Bryce Eldridge Expected to Break Camp with MLB Roster?

San Francisco Giants first base prospect Bryce Eldridge will be in a good position to break camp with the MLB roster.
