We’re less than 30 days out from the start of NC State’s 2026 baseball season, so now’s as good a time as any to get to know the team before they hit the diamond. The Wolfpack will be looking for their third trip to Omaha in the last six seasons, so let’s figure out how […]
Who is he and where did he come from? Caleb Durbin is an infielder who played college baseball at D-3 Washington University (in St. Louis) and was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 14th round of the 2021 draft. He was traded from Atlanta to the Yankees after the 2022 season for Lucas Luetge, […]
The Arizona Cardinals’ offensive line ranked #26 for the 2025 NFL season. Yeah, that’s pretty bad. To be fair, a lot of situations occurred to help drive that number way down. At season’s end, the IR list housed three starters: RG Will Hernandez, RT Jonah Williams, and OT Paris Johnson. In addition, starting RB James […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. As the Orioles make their way to Sarasota for spring training this week, they’ve got an exciting new addition waiting for them. (No, it’s not a pitcher. If only!) Yesterday the O’s unveiled a new, $23 million player development complex at their spring home of Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota. The […]
DRaysBay works best as a place for community and conversation. Accordingly, in the lead up to the new season, we are posting “Daily Questions” in the month of February. I look forward to seeing you in the comment section! The Rays have penciled in many starters that aren’t going anywhere — Junior Caminero, Yandy Diaz, […]
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s is a look at yesterday’s deal between the Brewers and the Red Sox. In a deal just about nobody saw coming, the Crew sent three infielders (Caleb Durbin, Andruw Monasterio, and Anthony Seigler) and a draft pick (No. 67 overall) to the Red Sox for a pair […]
Who’s on third? I don’t know. An Abbott & Costello sketch has turned into reality for the Milwaukee Brewers after Monday’s trade with the Boston Red Sox. The Brewers had seven different players spend time at third base last season. The leading returner at the position is Sal Frelick, who played one inning in one […]
Can you smell that? Yeah, that’s baseball approaching. Phillies News: MLB News:
The St. Louis Cardinals claimed 3B Bryan Ramos off of waivers from the Baltimore Orioles, and his particular fit on the roster is one that feels like a strained one at best. Ramos primarily plays 3B but has played a little bit of 2nd base and left field as well. That situation feels like bringing […]
1920 Major League Baseball outlawed the spitball but grandfathered in the 17 pitchers currently using the pitch. Among those allowed to continue throwing a “wet ball” was White Sox hurler Red Faber. Faber was coming off of a poor, illness-riddled 1919 season, registering the only negative-WAR effort of his career. His fortunes turned with a […]
Year after year, the Yankees contend with the AL East, the division that consistently outstrips its peers across the sport. This offseason was no different; while there were a number of teams across the league that put the “off” in offseason, none of them were in the AL East, as all five clubs have been […]
The Twins’ surprise pivot into an aggressive selloff was the headline of a surprisingly active 2025 trade deadline. They sent out a shocking 10 players, nine of whom were on the active roster at the time of their transactions. Some of those were expected (Chris Paddack, Willi Castro, Harrison Bader, Danny Coulombe), while others came […]

The Athletic | Keith Law ($): Several publications have George Lombard Jr. as the Yankees’ top-ranked prospect and Keith Law agrees in his 2026 installation of the Yankees’ top prospect rankings. The 21-year-old shortstop was ranked at second last year and 98th overall, and moves to the front of the queue with Jasson Domínguez’s graduation […]
I was perusing through our sister sites this morning and saw this question posed by Battery Power, home of the Atlanta Braves. In the wake of yesterday’s Super Bowl, it seemed like a relevant question. For the majority of the Super Bowl, it seemed like Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers was going to win MVP […]
It’s perfectly OK if the most recent thing you remember about Julian Aguiar’s career advancement as a professional baseball pitcher was getting shelled for 7 ER by the Atlanta Braves in late September of 2024. That is, after all, the last time he threw a pitch in an actual professional game, after all. Then 23, […]

The Red Sox continued to bolster their infield mix on Monday morning by swinging a six-player trade with the Brewers. In exchange for left-handers Shane Drohan and Kyle Harrison and infielder David Hamilton, Boston acquired infielders Caleb Durbin and Andruw Monasterio and infielder/catcher Anthony Seigler from Milwaukee, the club announced. Additionally, the Red Sox received … Continue reading "Which prospect did Red Sox send to Brewers in six-player trade for Caleb Durbin?"
It’s officially Spring Training eve. Fans, reporters, coaches, and most importantly, players have arrived in Scottsdale, Arizona. And after one more sleep, they’ll get to work. Last week, the San Francisco Giants announced their list of 19 non-roster invitees to Spring Training. As a refresher, NRIs are players who are in the system but not […]
2025 stats: 29 GS, 152 IP, 3.85 ERA / 4.24 xERA, 8.1 K/9, 3.1 BB/9, 1.36 WHIP, +2.2 fWAR The first ballot Hall of Famer joined the Giants as a sort of prove-it year to show the sport that he still could be “that guy,” and he pulled it off, becoming just the 48th pitcher […]
We’ve made it to the either the first or second most anticipated season of any team at Georgia Tech this season, the preseason #2 Baseball Cardiac Jackets. Jack and Jake roll through the new fellas on the team, the best infield in baseball, the continuously improved pitching, and why anything short of hosting a regional […]
Most seem to agree that the St. Louis Cardinals have had a very active and successful offseason, but how likely is it that they still might trade JoJo Romero? There are many questions including if, to who and when. As of today, the St. Louis Cardinals are only days away from pitchers and catchers reporting […]
If you’ve only been following the Major League deals Arizona Diamondbacks GM Mike Hazen has made over this offseason, you’re likely very disappointed in the lack of pitching additions via Free Agency, aside from Merrill Kelly and Taylor Clarke. However, GM Mike Hazen has actually made quite a few additions at the minor league level, […]
No one would argue the San Diego Padres’ biggest offseason need was upgrading the depth of the starting rotation. But it would not hurt to add another bat to the mix. Well, the Friar Faithful should be excited about the recent free agent signing of Miguel Andujar. No question, the Padres have added a proven […]
Matt Arnold has certainly earned the benefit of the doubt. In his time as the Brewers’ general manager, he’s swung a few trades that have worked out swimmingly for the Brewers. One of those happens to be last offseason’s trade for Caleb Durbin, who became an integral part of a team that led the league […]
