What Would It Cost To Extend Adley Rutschman?
The Red Sox gave up a strong package of talent in order to bring catcher Adley Rutschman to Boston. Fellow catcher Carlos Narváez went to Baltimore along with prospects Anthony Eyanson, Enddy Azocar, Kyson Witherspoon and Harold Rivas, the latter as the player to be named later. The Sox also acquired Jake Rogers and cash […]
Can Seiya Suzuki Outearn Himself?
Before he travelled stateside, Seiya Suzuki was one of the best hitters in Nippon Professional Baseball. Maybe the best. Across his final three NPB seasons, he led the league with a 1.015 OPS. No one reached base or crossed the plate more often than the Hiroshima Carp superstar. Even so, as the 2021-22 offseason began, most […]

Chisholm remains on the roster for now and will be available to pinch run. 4:20pm: Yankees second […]

The Orioles announced today that infielder/outfielder Blaze Alexander has been placed on the 10-day injured list with low back discomfort.

Padres Release Blake Hunt
The Padres have released catcher Blake Hunt, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. He had been designated for assignment earlier this week. He will be a free agent as soon as he clears release waivers, if he hasn’t already. Once a player is designated for assignment, a club can choose one of three options […]
Carson Whisenhunt Scheduled For Tommy John Surgery Next Week
The Giants already made it known last month that young lefty Carson Whisenhunt had been diagnosed with ligament damage in his left elbow and would require surgery of some kind. Whisenhunt was headed for another opinion to determine whether he’d need a full UCL reconstruction (i.e. Tommy John surgery) or an internal brace procedure. It […]
Albert Suárez Elects Free Agency
The Orioles announced that right-hander Albert Suárez has cleared waivers and elected free agency in lieu of accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk.

A’s Top Prospect Leo De Vries To Undergo Shoulder Surgery
Athletics top infield prospect Leo De Vries will undergo an anterior labrum repair on his right shoulder, reports Bill Moriarity of A’s Farm. The procedure can come with an eight-month recovery timeline, making it quite likely he’ll open next season on the injured list. De Vries is a 19-year-old shortstop/third baseman who played the entire […]
A’s Release José Suarez
The Athletics released left-hander José Suarez, according to the MLB.com transaction tracker. He was designated for assignment last week when the A’s selected Geoff Hartlieb.

11:00pm: Gallen will start tomorrow’s game with Soroka pitching in bulk relief, manager Torey Lovullo told Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic. Gallen has started all 195 of his appearances in the majors, so the D-Backs preferred to have Soroka working in relief. 8:18pm: The Diamondbacks are likely to reinstate Zac Gallen from the 60-day injured […]
Diamondbacks Release Max Kepler
September 8: Kepler has been released, according to the MLB.com transaction log. That was inevitable after the DFA. The Triple-A season ends in a few weeks, so there’s a decent chance he’ll remain unsigned until the offseason. September 6: The Diamondbacks have designated outfielder Max Kepler for assignment and recalled catcher Adrian Del Castillo from […]
Reds Release Sam Moll
8:00pm: Moll was indeed released after crossing five years of MLB service this year, according to the MLB.com transaction log.

Padres Sign Trevor Gott To Minor League Deal
Veteran reliever Trevor Gott has inked a minor league deal with the Padres, per his MLB.com transaction tracker. The righty spent the first half of the season in the Nationals organization.
