We're officially past the two-thirds mark of the MLB season. Four months in the rear-view mirror and two months still to go. This is the time of year when certain managers will take their foot off the gas pedal. Don't be one of those managers. Keep your foot on the gas and make the necessary […]

Genao is red-hot in Columbus, hitting .382 in 76 July at bats, including two homers and 12 RBI to go with 14 runs scored. Genao is the No. 2 prospect in the Guardians' system and the switch-hitter […]

Washington Nationals shortstop prospect Seaver King is currently sidelined with a left-oblique strain, making a late-season big-league debut improbable. King is the No. 4 overall prospect in the Washington system and has a 50-grade hit tool with a 70-grade run tool. So he has the potential to be a big-time contributor in stolen bases in […]
