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.

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.

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, […]

However, with Goldschmidt off the […]
