New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been the top dog at the position so far in offseason workouts. Henry has been reliable between the numbers for the team's quarterbacks.

Drake Maye Elevating The Offense

New England Patriots rookie first-round quarterback Drake Maye continues to make strides at mandatory minicamp this week.

Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski allowed six earned runs for Double-A Biloxi on Wednesday. The Brewers' top prospect gave up six hits and two walks while striking out just one.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson will add "real value" to the offense during the 2024 season, head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday (via Cameron DaSilva of The Rams Wire).

Carlson Reed Strikes Out Nine In Latest Outing

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitching prospect Carlson Reed is a former collegiate closer who has shown real potential as a starter in the lower levels of affiliated ball.

The 22-year-old has impressive bat speed, showcasing an ability to hit the ball hard […]

Noah Dean Tosses Five Scoreless Frames

Boston Red Sox pitching prospect Noah Dean is a former fifth-round pick out of Old Dominion. He's an athletic southpaw with a mid-90s fastball, low-80s curveball, and mid-80s changeup. He's had trouble locating the breaking ball at times, allowing his changeup to emerge as his best secondary offering even though he didn't throw it consistently […]

Edgar Quero Slugs Three Homers In Big Week

Chicago White Sox catching prospect Edgar Quero was acquired from the Angels during Los Angeles' brief window of aggressive buying last July. He's one of the best defensive catchers in the minors and should have no trouble staying (and contributing) behind the dish long-term.

Sam Darnold Considered The Starter At The Moment

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said that he'd call quarterback Sam Darnold his No. 1 QB at the moment this offseason, even though the Vikings haven't had to put out a depth chart yet in 2024.

James Triantos Continues Scorching June

Chicago Cubs infield prospect James Triantos went 2-for-4 with a home run on Wednesday for Double-A Tennessee.
