Orioles Believed To Have Made Nine-Figure Offer To Ranger Suárez The Orioles were among the teams most frequently tied to Ranger Suárez before the southpaw signed a five-year deal with the Red Sox. He commanded a $130MM guarantee to slot behind Garrett Crochet in the Boston rotation. Baltimore was seemingly in a similar range. Jon Heyman of The New York Post reports that the Orioles are […]

Where Can The Orioles Find A Ryan Mountcastle Trade? The Orioles' decision to tender Ryan Mountcastle an arbitration contract was surprising in November. The already odd fit became all the more so when the O's signed Pete Alonso to a five-year deal at the Winter Meetings. Mountcastle hasn't had a real path to playing time since that signing, yet he remains on Baltimore's roster. An […]

Offseason In Review: Cleveland Guardians Spring training is here, but it’s not clear the Guardians ever got the memo that the offseason began. Despite winning the AL Central in 2025, they made practically no additions and will enter the year with one of their lowest team payrolls — if not the lowest — in more than a decade. Major League […]

Offseason In Review: San Francisco Giants The Giants checked a few boxes this offseason, adding a pair of back-end starting pitchers and everyday players at second base and in the outfield. Their biggest splash might be in the manager’s office, as they stayed away from the top of the free agent market. Major League Signings RHP Adrian Houser: Two years, $22MM (including […]

Dodgers Outright Jack Suwinski The Dodgers sent Jack Suwinski outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City, as first reflected on the MLB.com transaction log. The team had not previously designated Suwinski for assignment, so this drops their 40-man roster tally to 39. Los Angeles claimed the lefty-hitting outfielder off waivers from Pittsburgh last month. They assumed his $1.25MM salary and an […]

Roberts: “Hard To Imagine” Espinal Not Making Dodgers’ Roster Veteran infielder Santiago Espinal is in Dodgers camp as a non-roster invitee, but it seems he’s already positioned himself as a favorite to break camp with the club. Manager Dave Roberts said this morning that it’s “hard to imagine [Espinal] not being on the team” (via Jack Harris of the California Post). Plenty can change […]

How Could The Braves Pivot Following Another Profar Suspension? The Braves opened camp in 2026 hoping for a full season from outfielder/designated hitter Jurickson Profar. He'd missed 80 games in 2025 following a PED suspension but was productive upon returning. With designated hitter Marcell Ozuna out the door, Profar and newly signed outfielder Mike Yastrzemski had plenty of runway to frequent playing time. Of […]

Tigers Notes: Montero, Rotation, Lee The Tigers optioned right-hander Keider Montero to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday afternoon. That takes him out of consideration for the Opening Day roster. It’s a moderate surprise that Montero was demoted this early in camp. The 25-year-old finished last season on the MLB roster and added 5 1/3 innings without allowing an earned run over three […]

Giants’ Joel Peguero Diagnosed With Grade 2 Hamstring Strain Giants reliever Joel Peguero has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain of his left hamstring, the team announced. The team didn’t announce a return timeline, but it seems likely the hard-throwing righty will begin the season on the 15-day injured list. A Grade 2 strain means there’s some degree of tearing.
