Jake Burger Fully Recovered from Offseason Wrist Surgery

Texas Rangers first baseman Jake Burger (wrist) is fully recovered from offseason wrist surgery and is expected to be a full-go for spring training, according to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News.

Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz Could Make Yankees Debut Early in 2026?

New York Yankees right-handed pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz is a name to closely monitor during spring training. Rodriguez-Cruz is currently viewed as the No. 3-ranked prospect in the Yankee system and No. 97 overall on MLB.com. Last summer, the right-hander began the season at High-A but was promoted through the system quickly and ended the […]


Kaelen Culpepper Surging Through Minnesota System

Minnesota Twins infield prospect Kaelen Culpepper enjoyed a very productive 2025 season and has left the door open for a late 2026 MLB debut. 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. The team's top prospect received a brief 10-game stint in the majors late last season.

Leodalis De Vries in Play for 2026 MLB Debut?

Athletics infield prospect Leodalis De Vries could be in the mix to make his MLB debut in the second half of the 2026 campaign.

Zyhir Hope an Ascending Dynasty Asset in Los Angeles System

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Zyhir Hope has seen his stock increase over the past year and is seen as not only one of the top prospects in the Dodgers system, but in all of baseball.

Multiple Teams Monitoring Luis Arraez

According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, multiple teams remain interested in free-agent first baseman Luis Arraez.

Last season, the 28-year-old posted a .292 AVG, which was the lowest mark of his seven-year MLB career. […]


Boston to Increase Pursuit of Eugenio Suarez?

According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the Boston Red Sox are a team that could make a push for top free-agent third baseman Eugenio Suarez. Saurez has been linked to the Red Sox throughout the winter, and following the signings of Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman, Bo Bichette, and Cody Bellinger, the third baseman is likely […]


Yankees Could Look to Add Another Starting Pitcher

According to Gary Phillips of The New York Daily News, the Yankees could look to further bolster their starting rotation ahead of spring training. Phillips noted that, even though a target of theirs, Freddy Peralta, was shipped to the Mets on Wednesday evening, they remain linked to several high-end trade targets, including MacKenzie Gore of […]


Robert Gasser Could Earn Starting Role in Milwaukee

According to Will Sammon and Chad Jennings of The Athletic, Milwaukee Brewers left-handed pitcher Robert Gasser could be a name to watch to earn a role in the starting rotation. On Wednesday evening, the Brewers traded their top pitcher, Freddy Peralta, to the New York Mets in exchange for two top prospects, Brandon Sproat and […]


Christian Scott Ticketed for Depth Role in New York?

New York Mets right-handed pitcher Christian Scott appears ticked for a depth role to begin the 2026 regular season.

Jonah Tong Falling Out of Rotation Spot?

According to Will Sammon and Chad Jennings of The Athletic, New York Mets right-handed pitching prospect Jonah Tong may be on the outside of the team's starting rotation to begin the 2026 season.

NHL Power Rankings: Norris Trophy Rankings (January Update)

With the NHL season past the halfway point and the Olympic break just weeks away, it's time to update our James Norris Memorial Trophy power rankings. Last week, we updated our Hart Memorial Trophy MVP rankings, and now it's time to shift our focus to the top defenders in the sport. While the current favorite […]


Jaxon Wiggins to Begin 2026 with Triple-A Iowa?

Chicago Cubs pitching prospect Jaxon Wiggins looked quite impressive in the 2025 campaign and enters the 2026 campaign ranked as the team's No. 3 prospect on MLB Pipeline and the overall No. 67 in the sport. Wiggins opened the 2025 season with High-A but needed only 26 1/3 innings to prove he was ready to […]


Dylan Beavers Not Guaranteed Full-Time Role to Begin Season?

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Dylan Beavers may not be given full-time at-bats to open the 2026 season. The team's No. 2-ranked prospect, according to MLB.com, made his MLB debut in mid-August after an impressive run at Triple-A. Across 94 games with the Norfolk Tides last summer, the young outfielder posted .304/.420/.515 line with 18 home […]


Spencer Jones to Push for Early MLB Debut?

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones was in contention to make his MLB debut last season and should be in serious contention to earn the call to the Bronx in the first half of 2026. In 2025, Jones flashed immense power upside across the upper levels of the minor leagues but carried a high […]


Gage Jump a Name to Monitor in Spring Training

Athletics left-handed starting pitching prospect Gage Jump flashed solid upside in his first professional season and has put himself on the redraft radar heading into 2026. The Athletics selected Jump in the 2024 MLB Draft out of LSU. He currently sits as the team's No. 3-ranked prospect on MLB.com and the No. 60 overall in […]


Lazaro Montes to Contend for Early Triple-A Promotion?

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes will likely begin the 2026 season with Double-A Arkansas, but should be in the mix to push for a promotion to the top level given his previous experience at Double-A. In 2025, the budding power hitter began the campaign with High-A Everett, where he spent 51 games back in […]


Josue De Paula Emerging as Top Outfield Prospect

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Josue De Paula ended a very productive 2025 campaign and has seen his prospect stock soar over the last year.

According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the deal includes a full no-trade clause and a $20 million signing bonus. Bellinger was viewed as the top remaining bat on the open market […]


Joe Mack Could Break Camp with MLB Roster?

Miami Marlins catching prospect Joe Mack is a name to keep a close eye on during spring training. Mack is currently considered the No. 4-ranked prospect in the Miami system and No. 70 overall on MLB.com. The 23-year-old began the 2025 campaign with Double-A but needed only another 13 games there to prove he was […]


Chase DeLauter Projected for Lead Role in Cleveland?

Cleveland Guardians outfield prospect Chase DeLauter has flashed immense potential in the minors but has struggled to stay on the field, pushing back his MLB debut. Last summer, DeLauter actually joined the club for their postseason run and appeared in two games. Given that he is set to enter spring training with a clean bill […]


Carson Williams Set to Earn Everyday Role?

Tampa Bay Rays top infield prospect Carson Williams made his MLB debut late in the season and appears to be the favorite to land the starting shortstop job out of spring training. During his first 32-game stint with Tampa Bay, the former 28th overall pick (from the 2021 MLB Draft) posted a .172/.219/.354 line but […]


Harry Ford Poised to Earn Lead Role with New Club?

The Washington Nationals acquired top catching prospect Harry Ford from the Seattle Mariners earlier in the offseason in exchange for reliever Jose Ferrer.
