It's Friday and that means we are back to having all 30 MLB teams in action! The games are more chopped up than usual for a Friday with two early afternoon games and three early evening games that didn't make it onto the main slate for either site. That leaves us with a 10-game slate […]

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford said his suspension has been reduced from five games to four games, and he's beginning to serve it on Thursday night against the Oakland Athletics.

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 12

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more.

Miami Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. (back) is expected to land on the injured list, according to multiple sources.
