After seemingly doing little for most of the offseason, the Seattle Mariners have undertaken a flurry of activity in the past week, albeit none of the moves have been exactly eye-catching. This sadly remains the case for fans, despite the club making another acquisition on Wednesday. The Mariners have acquired Blake Hunt from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange…
The San Diego Padres signed free-agent catcher Martín Maldonado on a minor-league deal, per Dennis Lin of The Athletic. Maldonado, 38, won a World Series with the Houston Astros in 2022. He recently shared last month that he didn’t want to retire just yet. Now, the veteran begins a new chapter in San Diego. The…
The San Diego Padres have a number of needs this offseason that, in an ideal world, they would like to address, including the rotation and the outfield vacancy left by Jurickson Profar’s departure; but one area they have to figure out is at catcher. Kyle Higashioka was great when pressed into duty in 2024, but his performance…
The international free-agent signing window is about to open, and once it does it could kick-start the Angels’ pursuit of a long-rumored starting pitching target. It seems like forever ago that the Angels were named as one of the favorites to sign Jack Flaherty, an impressive starter with the top-of-the-line stuff the rotation desperately needs. Yet…
This trade proposal makes little sense, yet its the Angels’ lack of strategy that leads to this type of prediction. The Sporting News’ Aaliyah Mohamed predicted that the Angels could trade Mike Trout to the Philadelphia Phillies for a pair of prospects. Before you get all up in arms, understand that there are no rumblings that this…
Roki Sasaki says “Jump!” The Dodgers and Padres say, “How high?” The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres are hot on the tail of Roki Sasaki, the most exciting international prospect on the market. But only one of them can snag him. Sasaki is technically an international amateur so he can’t sign a big MLB contract. Because he’s…
Former MLB first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz only spent half of a season with the Boston Red Sox, but he’s immortalized in the city forever due to his involvement with the curse-breaking 2004 World Series championship team.

Last weekend, the Boston Globe’s Alex Speier reported that the Boston Red Sox are “interested in exploring the possibility of long-term deals” with some of their top prospects, including baseball’s No. 1 prospect – Roman Anthony.

The Boston Red Sox had one player reject their qualifying offer in starting pitcher Nick Pivetta, which qualified them for a compensation pick in the MLB Draft. However, according to MLB insider Jeff Passan, the Sox have yet to receive it, but it is coming. “Pivetta was saddled with a qualifying offer, which has hindered his market, but…
The San Francisco Giants could be doing some work to try and land one of the best-hitting platoon outfielders left in free agency. The San Francisco Giants have made some meaningful upgrades this winter both to the lineup and to the pitching staff, but there’s still work to do. For a franchise who has missed the playoffs…
The San Francisco Giants boosted their organization with this haul in the 2025 international class. There is a new regime in charge of the San Francisco Giants.
