He’ll be using his first option year this year. As you know, he had Tommy John surgery in August of 2024, missing all of the […]

2026 Chicago Cubs player profiles: Daniel Palencia

Daniel Jesus Palencia, the 26-year-old Venezuelan native, is the Cubs’ current closer. It’s his second year in the top spot, and so far he looks like he plans to stay there. Palencia throws the ball hard and has evidenced decent control of his offerings. Last year, he had a losing record (1-6), but also logged […]

2026 MLB Team Preview Series: St. Louis Cardinals

For a while now, it’s felt like most of the National League Central is just a step behind. In four of the last five seasons, the Milwaukee Brewers have walked away division champions, oftentimes by some distance. The only exception in the span was the St. Louis Cardinals, back in 2022. However, since that 2022 […]

Don’t sleep on Jack Wenninger

In 2025, a lot of ink was spilled on Nolan McLean and Jonah Tong, and understandably so. McLean started the season with the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, posted a 1.37 ERA in 26.1 innings with them, then a 2.78 ERA in 87.1 innings with the Syracuse Mets, and then dazzled the baseball world with a 2.44 […]

A pitch usage tweak could take Cole Henry to the next level

Last year was a true breakthrough season for Cole Henry. After years of battling major injuries, including Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, the former second round pick made the big leagues as a reliever. Despite the solid season, Henry has seemingly overhauled his pitch mix entering year 2. I think his cutter will prove to be a […]

Rangers sign McCutchen

The Texas Rangers have signed veteran outfielder/DH Andrew McCutchen to a minor league deal, per Evan Grant. The Rangers have had a need for a righthanded bat who can platoon with Joc Pederson at DH all offseason, and the only real move they have made to potentially address that was adding Mark Canha on a […]

Is there hope for Kevin Parada?

In the 2021 MLB Draft, Kumar Rocker- who was seen at times by scouts and executives as a top 5 pick near the beginning of the NCAA season- fell to the Mets with the 10th overall pick. It turned out that there was a reason for that, and the two sides ended up failing to […]

Bless You Boys 2026 Tigers prospects #22: RHP Ty Madden

We generally cut our prospect rankings off when a player turns 26 but as right-hander Ty Madden has just a small amount of major league experience and missed his age 25 season with a strained rotation cuff that took longer than hoped to rehabilitate, we’ll make an exception. Long an interesting starting pitcher prospect with […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Doug Bird

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, there was perhaps no better rivalry in MLB than the Yankees and Royals. They seemingly met every postseason in the ALCS for the right to represent the Junior Circuit in the World Series, the Yankees usually coming out on top of those yearly meetings. A mainstay of those […]

The state of the Colorado Rockies farm system, March 2026

In the process of writing about every player who received votes in our biannual Purple Row Prospects (PuRPs) list — this edition it was 55 players across 19 ballots — I learned a bit about trends and system strengths and weaknesses. So for anyone who missed a few write-ups or even who has a more casual relationship with the […]

From number one prospect to 162-game suspension

In 2013, the consensus number one prospect in all of MLB was Jurickson Profar. The switch-hitting shortstop for the Texas Rangers was turning heads with his elite combination of power, speed and defense. It’s hard to forget the miraculous year that Profar had in 2024 with the San Diego Padres. Unfortunately, that season is stained […]

What constitutes a “former Royal”?

The term “old friend alert” usually applies to players who have taken the field in a major-league game for the Royals. Over a thousand athletes have worn a Kansas City uniform in the big leagues, but is that the only standard for being considered a “former Royal”? Here are some players who didn’t play in […]

Thursday Morning Links

Morning, all! Texas played Team Brazil yesterday and the mercy rule was invoked in the seventh inning. Jacob deGrom made his first start of the spring, allowing three hits and striking out three, as well. The Rangers will still be cautious with Jacob deGrom’s workload in 2026, aiming for around 175 innings. Skip Schumaker counts […]

2026 Red Sox Positional Preview: How much better can Carlos Narvaez get?

Much of the Red Sox’s offense has been in flux over the last 12 months: Rafael Devers was traded, Alex Bregman walked, Wilson Contreras and Caleb Durbin were acquired, while the infield platoon was refreshed. The combination of moves sounds awful for offensive pop, it but does offer more stability defensively. Meanwhile, he team decided […]
