Logan Forsythe Signs With The Marlins
The Miami Marlins signed infielder Logan Forsythe on Wednesday. The Marlins are scrambling to put together a team of players with big league experience, and Forsythe has plenty of it. It helps that he can play multiple positions, too. He hit just .227/.325/.353 as a member of the Rangers last season, so he's unlikely to […]

David Bote Stays Hot
Chicago Cubs infielder David Bote stayed hot with a solo home run as part of a 2-for-3 performance on Tuesday versus the Reds. Bote also drew a walk. Bote has started the last two games for the Cubs and with the way he’s seeing the ball, Bote could remain in the lineup. Bote serves in […]

Atlanta Braves third baseman/outfielder Austin Riley will head to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. It will be his first day off of the year. It's been a sluggish start to the year for Riley. He has a home run, but has just two hits in his first 14 at-bats. He's […]

According to Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com, the Miami Marlins 2020 season has been put on pause, "at least temporarily."
