The waiver claim of Paxton Schultz continues an interesting trend for the Washington Nationals. They now have quite a few pitchers that profile well in a multi-inning relief role. This makes me think that the Nats may get creative in how they use their pitchers in 2026. Last season, the Nats used a standard five […]
A poor record, significant injuries, and lackluster play have the 2025-26 Rangers headed nowhere. But will rock bottom propel them up, or will they break out their shovels and continue to make the hole deeper?
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers have reunited with former farmhand Zak Kent via the waiver wire. Texas finalized its minor league and player development staffs yesterday.

Welcome to the weekend, folks! The Bruins will host the New York Rangers at TD Garden in an early afternoon game, making it one of those times where a standalone preview doesn’t make a ton of sense. Instead, you get: the Public Preview! Preview Skate? Either way, it’s a two-for-one deal. The Rangers come into […]

Anne Rogers writes about what to look for with the Royals in 2026. It seems like every season, Royals catcher Salvador Perez is marking another milestone in what should be an eventual Hall of Fame career. In 2025, Perez hit his 300th career home run and 1,000th career RBI before ending his 14th Major League season with […]
The San Diego Padres have needs on their roster and reportedly very little money with which to address those needs before the start of the 2026 season. Prospect capital has been depleted due to deadline trades over the past couple seasons, so the question asked by AJ Cassavell of Padres.com is how does president of […]
As you may have already heard, the Braves have split from their Fanduel-sponsored TV broadcaster. What we will get in the place of that is to be determined. We’ll see the Braves somewhere, and I believe Battery Power will have some great guesses on the future later. But here the question: why can’t we just […]
Let’s have a little rampant speculation run amok here. Let’s say that the Phillies are actually able to push this one over the goal line and sign Bo Bichette. We’re not really worried about the years or money right now, we’re worried about fit. Roster construction wise, he’s a good fit since he does a […]

Del Pratt is not a name that is well-remembered in Yankees’ history. It was over a century ago, only one of his seasons even overlapped with Babe Ruth, he wasn’t with the team very long, and there weren’t any World Series championships during his tenure. If anything, Pratt is most known for being traded to […]
Meet the Mets Kyle Tucker and Framber Valdez remain on the free agent market and could be the Mets’ best chances of still making impact additions this offseason. The Mets’ opening day matchup against the Pirates will now air on NBC and Peacock as part of the network’s slate of games that day. Baseball Prospectus […]
This week presents a twist, in that SBN Reacts sent you out a White Sox-specific question, but nothing of national import (pretty big football weekend coming up, anyway). We asked you to play White Sox manager for Opening Day and tell us where on the field you are penciling-in Munetaka Murakami. The results were as […]
Hello one and all, and happy Saturday. To those who will be in attendance: happy Fenway Fest to you and yours! I won’t be able to make it this year, sadly, as I missed the boat on ticket inventory. I gambled that the event wouldn’t sell out, and I lost. If it’s your first time, […]
Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas is still soaking things in after hitting the game-tying home run in the ninth inning of Game 7 of the World Series in Toronto, and will be back in 2026 running his second stint with the team to four seasons. Rojas re-signed with Los Angeles in December for $5.5 million in […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
So, were we all jazzed up by the big Kaleb Ort waiver claim?? The Yankees added someone to the 40-man roster from outside the organization! Yes, Ort was previously in the organization a few years ago, but A for effort. (Yes, A is far too generous.) Today on the site, Madison will answer your mailbag […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Late last year, the San Francisco Giants announced that they would be hosting a celebratory event honoring the contributions of former first baseman, Captain, All Star, baby giraffe, and first-ballot Goofball HOF Brandon Belt.

Jocques Felix wasn’t a player many had on their radars for Mizzou. The St. Louis native out of Cardinal Ritter College Prep held a handful of power conference offers from schools across the Midwest before committing to Iowa State in October. The Tigers didn’t officially become involved in Felix’s recruitment until after he de-committed in […]
On Wednesday, Harrison gave us a round-up of the recent noise around Freddy Peralta’s trade market. He notes that the Brewers general manager Matt Arnold has said that he “anticipates” that they’ll hold onto him into next season and, presumably, the trade deadline. But there is, without a doubt, a lot of smoke around this […]

According to MLB.com, Orioles pitchers and catchers that will be taking part in the 2026 World Baseball Classic will report to Sarasota on February 9. That […]
With barely over a month before Spring Training begins, we still don’t know the complete story about what St. Louis Cardinals President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom and his team will accomplish. I can start to fill out the grade card and overall it’s very promising. There are 4 moves that I believe were very […]
The Atlanta Braves announced a couple of moves on Friday, first claiming right-hander George Soriano off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles.
