Bryan Reynolds Drawing Interest On The Trade Market

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds has been drawing interest from multiple teams on the trade market, including the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network.

Jonathan India 2021 Year-in-Review

The Cincinnati Reds and their fans are probably more disappointed than happy with the team's 2021 performance, as the team finished with a winning record of 83-79. However, a very final month left pushed them out of the playoffs. They are left with a solid core of players, which gives the team hopes for a […]

The Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals are reportedly "in on" free-agent starter Steven Matz, according to Newsday's Tim Healey.

According to MLB Network's Jon Morosi, the Detroit Tigers have talked with agents for top free-agent shortstops, including Carlos Correa, Marcus Semien, Javier Baez, Trevor Story, Corey Seager and Chris Taylor.

Starling Marte Back On Marlins Radar

Free-agent outfielder Starling Marte is back on the Miami Marlins radar, and the team has met with his representatives.

Brennen Davis - Prospects to Know for 2022

The Chicago Cubs selected Arizona prep outfielder Brennen Davis with the 62nd overall pick in the 2018 Rule 4 draft. It was a bit of a gamble, as Davis didn’t have much of a track record as a baseball player. He only changed over to the sport late in his high school career. Since being […]

Starling Marte On The Yankees Radar

Free-agent outfielder Starling Marte is drawing interest from the New York Yankees, per Brendan Kuty of the Star-Ledger.

Javier Baez Meets With The Mets

Free-agent infielder Javier Baez met with the New York Mets on Thursday. According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, Baez appears to be quite active in these early days of free agency.

Mariners Reportedly Interested in Luis Castillo

According to MLB Network's Jon Morosi, the Seattle Mariners "are among the teams to check in with the #Reds on right-hander Luis Castillo."

Adding a pitcher like Castillo would […]

Yankees Talking To Agents For Corey Seager And Carlos Correa

According to CBS Sports' Jim Bowden, the New York Yankees are reportedly "in conversation with agents for both Corey Seager and Carlos Correa."

The Detroit Tigers are reportedly showing early interest in free-agent left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez, according to MLB Network's Jon Morosi. Rodriguez pitched to a 4.74 ERA, a 3.32 FIP, 185 strikeouts and 47 walks in 157 2/3 innings during the regular season.
