Red Sox Not Considering Dealing Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers

Boston Red Sox president Sam Kennedy said "there's been no discussion or communication internally or externally" about trading shortstop Xander Bogaerts or third baseman Rafael Devers.

Orelvis Martinez Enjoying Strong Start To Second Half

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop prospect Orelvis Martinez is off to an impressive start post-All-Star break. One of the team's best prospects, he boasts good bat speed and more power than you would expect out of an undersized shortstop. Although his home run totals continue to garner plenty of attention, there's no denying that Martinez's discipline […]

Oneil Cruz: Champ or Chump for Fantasy Baseball?

Plenty of top-rated prospects have debuted in recent years, but very few have offered the raw tools of Oneil Cruz. Cruz is the tallest man to ever start an MLB game at shortstop and set a record for hardest infield throw in his first game of the season. Scouts believe he'll stick at short for […]

The MLB Players Association rejected the league's latest proposal on an international draft on Monday, which means the free-agent qualifying offer system that has been a drag on some free agents, will remain in place. The two sides exchanged four total proposals this month and were consistently far apart on the amount of money that […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Sitting Monday

Kansas City Royals rookie shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the Los Angeles Angels.

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (arm) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against left-hander Sean Manaea and the San Diego Padres.

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (arm) was lifted for a pinch hitter during the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Transferred To The 60-Day IL

Miami Marlins infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (back) has been transferred to the 60-day injured list.

A CT scan revealed a stress fracture in Chisholm's back a few days ago so he […]

Jonathan Villar Designated For Assignment By Angels

The Los Angeles Angels designated infielder Jonathan Villar for assignment on Sunday. Outfielder Magneuris Sierra was added to the team's roster in a corresponding move.
