After agreeing to deals with the San Francisco Giants and the New York Mets this offseason, Carlos Correa will officially head back to Minnesota on a six-year deal with the Twins.

Brendan (Boston, MA): 6 months after the draft, how does Brooks Lee compare to the other top college bats he was being drafted around?

Twenty years ago, the Yankees would spend like drunken sailors and throw caution to the wind in free agency. There was an abundance of all-star caliber shortstops who hit the free agent market over the past two offseasons, and the Yankees passed on every single one of them. Sitting in the wings is their top prospect Anthony Volpe, who looks to take…

We're still over a month away from pitchers and catchers reporting to camp in Florida and Arizona, but it's not much more than that. One major item from the offseason remains and we'll get to that in just a second. The week began with news that former Braves general manager John Coppolella has been reinstated despite having been slapped with a…

When the New York Yankees open spring training next month, all eyes will be on shortstop Anthony Volpe. And with good reason.

The Prairie View A&M Panthers will look to win their 10th consecutive game over the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions when they meet in Southwestern Athletic Conference action on Monday night. The Panthers (6-10, 2-1 SWAC), who have won two of three, have won just two of 10 road games this season. The Golden Lions (5-11, 1-2), who have lost four of…

MLB Trade Rumors | Simon Hampton: Entering the season with Aaron Hicks, Oswaldo Cabrera, and a bunch of recent minor signings battling it out for the starting left field gig doesn't sound entirely optimal. However, it's starting to become a more likely option. Hampton goes through the Yanks' offseason priority list when it comes to left field,…

CINCINNATI -- Few organizations have reshaped their Minor League system as rapidly as the Reds have this summer. Now fully committed to rebuilding, Cincinnati has been shedding veterans since the offseason, but its work ahead of the Trade Deadline has a legitimate chance to shape the club's future. The Reds traded five veterans -- including ace…

SAN DIEGO - Here's one thing that is not a secret: The Tigers, for way too long, struggled in the realm of player development. They did not produce enough international hitters. They did not find and develop international talent. When their rebuild began around 2017, the farm system was largely barren. And as has been well-documented, the Tigers…

This is the one in a series of stories looking at members of the Pittsburgh Pirates' 40-man roster. When you discuss underdogs or players that come out of nowhere, it's Jared Triolo. Triolo was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates 72nd overall in 2019 out of the University of Houston. Since joining the Pirates in 2019, Triolo has seen a steady rise…

While White Sox fans have become very familiar with the team's low farm system ranking, there have certainly been glimmers of hope to come this season. While several White Sox players were certainly worthy of an award such as a nomination to the MLB Futures Game, it was Oscar Colás who earned the nomination this year to the team. The full AL and NL…

You can't go into the All-Star break on a higher note than the Seattle Mariners. The Mariners beat the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Park on Sunday (SEA 6, TEX 2) to extend their winning streak to 14 games. It is tied for the longest winning streak in baseball this season (the Atlanta Braves won 14 straight from June 1-15) and is the second longest…

The Toronto Blue Jays continue to try and break out of the giant shadows cast by the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox in the AL East ahead of the 2023 season. While general manager Ross Atkins and president Mark Shapiro have undergone heavy criticism for not pulling the trigger in the past, they have made some solid moves this winter, ahead of a…

CLEVELAND - Think about how much has changed in a year. Last January, baseball stood still, and we were left to talk ourselves into Bradley Zimmer, ponder José Ramírez trades and evaluate commissioner Rob Manfred's negotiating tactics. It was bleak. But the lockout ended, Ramírez signed a long-term deal, Zimmer lasted one day of the regular season…

The 23rd-ranked Charleston Cougars look for their 14th consecutive win when they take on the North Carolina A&T Aggies in a Colonial Athletic Association matchup on Wednesday.

With the MLB trade deadline just weeks away, the baseball rumor mill is heating up. While the majority of baseball has been distracted by who is likely to land Juan Soto, there is likely to be a flurry of other activity at the deadline that could drastically impact the results of the 2022 MLB season. Since everybody loves trade speculation, we…

Two of the NL's best teams collide when the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres face off on Tuesday at Petco Park in San Diego.

The Boston Red Sox have made some moves this offseason, but not all of them went over well with the fans. This free agency period has given us a good idea of top prospect Marcelo Mayer's timeline to the Major Leagues. Let me explain. Some were upset that the Red Sox didn't bring in any big free agents. Most were upset that they failed to bring back…

There are New Year's resolutions, but how about new season predictions? There are many facets of the Nationals to consider, from the Major League level to the Minor League system to the Draft. As we look ahead to 2023, here are three things I am thinking and my predictions for them. Prediction: CJ Abrams will take leap into Gold Glove…

ANAHEIM - When the MLB trade deadline passed and Shohei Ohtani remained in the Angels' clubhouse, it signaled that the club has no intention of rebuilding in 2023. And one of the moves they did make - trading closer Raisel Iglesias and the $51 million remaining on his contract - left no doubt that they are creating space to reload for another run…

TAMPA - If you're like us and already made a prediction as to which 28 players will make the Yankees' Opening Day roster, let's hope you used pencil. New York made a trade on Saturday night, a move sending a member of their bullpen to Texas in exchange for some depth at the catcher position. The Yankees acquired veteran backstop Jose Trevino in the…

Being a first base coach is among the least stressful jobs in baseball. Or so it seems. Tell a guy when to get back to the bag on a pickoff play. Yell at a guy to go on a wild pitch. Share a few stopwatch splits with baserunners. Spit a lot of sunflower seeds. A substitute first base coach? Easy living. This was Bucky Dent's role on June 2, 2000.…

Ezequiel Tovar, the next in a succession of Rockies shortstops behind Trevor Story and Troy Tulowitzki, fielded groundballs Thursday under a gray sky for the first time at Coors Field. But all he could see was the third deck. "Wow, this feels big," Tovar said of his new home. The Rockies on Thursday called up Tovar from Triple A to play out the…

For months now fans of the Colorado Rockies have been tantalized with idea of "Tovar Time:" the day in which the organization's no. 2 prospect and no. 28 MLB-wide prospect Ezequiel Tovar would be called up for his major league debut. There was clamoring for his call-up before the All-Star Break, only to have those hopes denied by a nagging groin…

Jordan Walker is no. 8 on our Top 100 thanks largely to his bat. As our lead prospect analyst Eric Longenhagen wrote in July, the 6-foot-5, 220-pound St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect "is one of the most exciting young hitters in the minors, with elite power potential and superlative on-paper performance at Double-A while he's still not old…

Regardless of your outlook for 2021, there's one undeniable fact, one that is not criticism but the honest truth - the Kansas City Royals have been an awful baseball team over the last three years. The Royals lost 100 games in both 2018 and 2019, and in a pandemic-shortened season still only managed a 70-win pace in 2020. They have been poor at…

As a Clevelander, it was so much fun in 2016 to see the teams each take their turn in the quest for championships. For six months, Cleveland was the spot, with Stipe Miocic, the Lake Erie Monsters, Cleveland Cavaliers and Cleveland Indians all winning a championship or coming very close. Building off of that kind of buzz is a lot of fun for a city…

Last week's Winter Meetings was a generally sour note for Colorado Rockies fans. The club did little outside of signing former first round selections Cole Tucker and T.J. Zeuch to minor league deals and selecting RHP Kevin Kelly from the Cleveland Guardians organization in the Rule 5 draft before flipping him to Tampa Bay for cash. During that…

Seattle Mariners vs Kansas City Royals 9/23/2022 Picks Predictions Previews The Seattle Mariners will play the 4th game of their series against the Royals at Ewing M.

Even though the Pittsburgh Pirates have not changed their stance and continue to insist they have no intentions of trading away star center field Bryan Reynolds, with Reynolds having requested a trade it is difficult to see a scenario where he is not dealt. Especially since Reynolds has also rejected a long-term contract extension from the Pirates…

An ugly 114-loss season in 2019, which followed on the heels of back-to-back 98-loss seasons in 2017 and 2018, would suggest that the Tigers' grueling rebuild has hit a low point, from which the only way to go is up. But was that really the bottom? And has a corner been turned? At the very least, their front office's piecemeal approach to the…

The last day of spring training has arrived. It's time to do one more roster prediction, since I hate to pass up a chance to show how wrong I can be. (Plus, hours after my last roster projection arrived in your inboxes, the Padres traded for Luke Voit. You're welcome.) There is a decent chance at least one more move is coming before Thursday's…
