Royals Won't Trade Zack Greinke

Kansas City Royals future Hall of Famer Zack Greinke could probably help a contending team this year, but the Royals have decided not to deal him.

Joey Gallo Expected To Be Traded

The New York Yankees are getting interest in outfielder Joey Gallo, according to sources, and it would be something of a surprise if he wasn't traded by Tuesday's 6:00 pm ET deadline.

He’s still filming USAA commercials. His agent says he thinks he might come back during the season. Skip Bayless agrees.

Jase Bowen Showing Progress In Minors

Pittsburgh Pirates outfield prospect Jase Bowen, like many other minor leaguers, suffered from the COVID-19 pandemic because it limited his opportunities to see crucial game action and progress his development in 2020. As a result, he's still in Single-A, though he's certainly knocking on the door of a promotion. The 21-year-old's biggest weakness is his […]

Los Angeles Angels pitching prospect Landon Marceaux is a Louisiana State product who was selected in the third round of the 2021 draft.

Minnesota Twins first base prospect Aaron Sabato is a former first-round pick who has lived up to expectations so far, showing off a phenomenal power tool while also drawing a solid amount of walks. At times, he has appeared to be outmatched, especially when facing fastballs. This has led to a high strikeout rate, which […]

Spencer Stockton Bounces Back With Two Dominant Outings

Cincinnati Reds pitching prospect Spencer Stockton went undrafted out of Jacksonville in 2019 but has climbed through the lower ranks of affiliated ball since signing with the club.

Joseph Ortiz Coming Off Big Week In Minors

Baltimore Orioles shortstop prospect Joseph Ortiz is a defense-first player with phenomenal glovework and a plus arm.
