Thomas White Could Push for Early MLB Debut?

Miami Marlins top pitching prospect Thomas White could make a case to push for an earlier-than-expected MLB debut.

The Marlins shipped Edward Cabrera to […]


Carson Benge a Name to Closely Monitor in Camp

New York Mets outfield prospect Carson Benge is a name to closely monitor during spring training. As reported by Sam Dykstra of MLB.com, Benge is in the mix to win a starting job in the outfield out of spring training. Following the departure of Brandon Nimmo, Benge could make a strong case in spring training […]


Bubba Chandler's Stock is Rising Ahead of Spring Training

Pittsburgh Pirates pitching prospect Bubba Chandler has seen his fantasy stock rise following his strong conclusion to the season, as he appears poised for a breakout campaign in 2026. Chandler made his MLB debut with the Pirates in late August of 2025. Through his first 31 1/3 innings in the big leagues, the right-hander posted […]


Samuel Basallo to Begin the Season with Everyday At-Bats?

Baltimore Orioles catching prospect Samuel Basallo could see nearly every day at-bats with the Orioles to open the 2026 season.

Through his first 31 games in Baltimore, Bassalo showed […]

Robby Snelling Slated for Early MLB Debut in 2026?

Miami Marlins pitching prospect Robby Snelling appears poised to compete for a starting job in the rotation during spring training.

As a result, Snelling faces even less competition to […]

Seranthony Dominguez Linked as Potential Option for Diamondbacks

Free agent relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez is viewed as a top option for the Diamondbacks' bullpen, according to Jack Sommers of Sports Illustrated. The Diamondbacks are in the market to add to their bullpen as both of their top options, A.J. Puk (elbow) and Justin Martinez (elbow), are expected to miss the first half as […]


Blaze Alexander Could Shift to the Outfield

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Blaze Alexander could see extended time in the outfield during the upcoming season. On Tuesday, the Diamondbacks acquired third baseman Nolan Arenado from the St. Louis Cardinals. Following the trade, GM Mike Hazen noted that he envisions Arenado playing on a daily basis at third base, which will limit Alexander's opportunities […]


Diamondbacks to Deploy a "Bridge" Closer in the First Half

The Arizona Diamondbacks are expected to rely on a "bridge "closer in the first half of the season while top relievers A.J. Puk (elbow) and Justin Martinez (elbow) recover from their respective injuries.

Alec Bohm Linked to Pirates as Possible Trade Target

According to Colin Beazley of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Pittsburgh Pirates could look to pursue Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm in a trade. With the Phillies in serious pursuit of Bo Bichette, they could look to move Bohm in a trade, as Bichette would likely become their everyday third baseman. The Pirates have had […]


Dodgers Designate Ryan Fitzgerald for Assignment

The Los Angeles Dodgers have designated infielder Ryan Fitzgerald for assignment. This transaction opened a spot on the roster for Andy Ibanez. The Dodgers claimed Fitzgerald off waivers from the Minnesota Twins earlier this week. If Fitzgerald were to clear waivers, he would report to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Last season, Fitzgerald made his MLB debut […]


Joe Musgrove Won't Have Innings Limit in 2026

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (elbow) will not have an innings limit placed on him during the 2026 season.

Cardinals Trade Nolan Arenado to Diamondbacks

The St. Louis Cardinals have traded third baseman Nolan Arenado to the Arizona Diamondbacks. In exchange, the Cardinals received right-handed pitcher Jack Martinez.

Nolan McLean Not Expected to be Offered in Trade

According to Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic, the New York Mets appear to be the favorite to land Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta in a trade. However, Rosenthal and Sammon noted that they would be able to acquire him without moving top pitching prospect Nolan McLean. Instead, they could look to […]

Toronto Blue Jays left-handed pitching prospect Ricky Tiedemann (elbow) is expected to be fully healthy ahead of spring training.

According to Kevin Barral of FishOnFirst.com, outfield prospect Owen Caissie will "very likely" crack the Opening Day roster and serve as a primary right fielder.
