2024 Fantasy Baseball Catcher Rankings, Tiers, Analysis - Roto League Drafts

Last season saw multiple catchers across Major League Baseball emerge as potential future stars, the most obvious being Baltimore's Adley Rutschman. But Seattle's Cal Raleigh, Arizona's Gabriel Moreno, Atlanta's Sean Murphy, and New York's Francisco Alvarez also raised their stock and were difference-makers offensively for their respective teams at points during the MLB season. Proven […]

Can Yoshinobu Yamamoto Continue His Dominance in the MLB?

In a normal offseason, signing a player to a 12-year $325 million deal would be a team's biggest acquisition, but with Shohei Ohtani signing with the Dodgers for $700 million, it has been anything but a normal offseason. With the addition of Ohtani, the Dodgers fortified their lineup but were still in need of some […]

Tommy Nance Signs Minors Deal With Padres

The San Diego Padres have signed right-handed pitcher Tommy Nance to a minor-league deal that includes an invite to big-league spring training. The 32-year-old didn't appear in the big leagues in the 2023 season due to a shoulder injury and last appeared with the Marlins in the 2022 season, working to a 4.33 ERA across […]

Miami Marlins starting pitchers Jesus Luzardo and Edward Cabrera continue to draw trade interest. Luzardo has three years of team control left while Cabrera has five.

Free-agent catcher Jorge Alfaro agreed with the Chicago Cubs on a minor-league deal on Wednesday, according to sources. The deal includes an invitation to spring training.

Marlins Acquire Christian Bethancourt

The Cleveland Guardians have agreed on a trade to send catcher Christian Bethancourt to the Miami Marlins. It's being reported that the Guardians will get cash considerations in exchange for Bethancourt. That's not too bad, considering the Guardians picked up Bethancourt off waivers last month. However, they no longer needed his services after signing catcher […]

A.J. Puk To Be Stretched Out As A Starter

Miami Marlins pitcher A.J. Puk is going to be stretched out as a starter ahead of the 2024 season. While there is no guarantee the club will use him out of the rotation, the current plan is for him to be stretched out in case the club has an open rotation spot next season. Once […]

Marlins Add Gabe Kapler To Their Front Office

The Miami Marlins hired former big-leaguer and San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler to their front office on Friday, according to sources. Kapler will serve as the assistant general manager under Peter Bendix. The Marlins have three other assistant general managers in Brian Chattin, Daniel Greenlee and Oz Ocampo.

MLB teams have shown interest in Miami Marlins right-hander Edward Cabrera and left-hander Trevor Rogers this offseason, according to sources briefed on the Marlins' conversations.

Arizona Fall League Wrap-Up: Fallers (Kevin Parada, Max Muncy, Carson Williams, Jake Eder)

Joey Wendle Agrees With Mets

Free-agent utility infielder Joey Wendle and the New York Mets agreed on a one-year, $2 million deal on Wednesday, pending a physical, according to sources familiar with the deal.

Royals Sign Garrett Hampson To One-Year Deal

The Kansas City Royals signed free-agent infielder/outfielder Garrett Hampson to a one-year, $2 million deal on Wednesday, according to sources.

Marlins Add Ignacio Feliz On Minor-League Deal

The Miami Marlins have signed right-hander Ignacio Feliz to a minor-league deal. Feliz has yet to make his major-league debut and was let go at the end of the 2023 season by the Baltimore Orioles after struggling to a 9.57 ERA and 1.77 WHIP while walking 23 and striking out 59 in 42 1/3 innings […]

Ryan Jensen Claimed By Marlins

The Miami Marlins have claimed relief pitcher Ryan Jensen off waivers from the Seattle Mariners.

The recently-turned 26-year-old has largely pitched in the Cubs' organization in […]

Angels Sign Charles Leblanc

The Los Angeles Angels have agreed on a minor-league deal with infielder Charles Leblanc on Sunday. The 27-year-old got his first taste of MLB action with the Miami Marlins in 2022.

As a result, this year's first-year player drafts (FYPDs) in dynasty leagues will be some of the most interesting in many years. It's rare to have […]

Top 250 Dynasty Fantasy Baseball Prospects Rankings (November 2023 Update)

Welcome back RotoBallers to the November update of our MLB team's dynasty fantasy baseball prospects rankings for the 2023 season.

The Miami Marlins acquired infielder/outfielder Vidal Brujan and right-hander Calvin Faucher (biceps) from the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday in exchange for infielder Erick Lara, right-hander Andrew Lindsey and a player to be named later or cash considerations. Brujan, a 25-year-old Dominican switch-hitter, really struggled offensively in his three seasons with the Rays, slashing .157/.218/.221 […]

Skip Schumaker Earns NL Manager Of The Year Award

Miami Marlins manager Skip Schumaker was named the 2023 National League Manager of the Year on Tuesday. The Marlins had not posted a winning record in a full season since 2009, but Schumaker was able to earn a Wild Card spot with an 84-78 record in his first big-league season as a manager. Schumaker became […]

Luis Arraez "Available" If Marlins Want To Talk Extension

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez said the team has not reached out to him about an extension yet, but he would be open to talking if they do. The batting champ made $6.1 million in 2023, his second year of arbitration. That figure could double in 2024. Arraez is under control through the 2025 […]

Blue Jays Expressing Interest in Jorge Soler

Free-agent outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler is receiving interest from the Toronto Blue Jays on the open market. The club is looking to add a power bat alongside Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Soler certainly fits that bill. The veteran clubbed 36 home runs in the 2023 season while posting an .853 OPS before opting out of […]

Marlins Don't Give Jorge Soler A Qualifying Offer

The Miami Marlins chose not to extend a $20.325 million qualifying offer to outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler. The 31-year-old right-handed slugger opted out of the final year of his contract in 2024 for a chance to hit the open market this offseason. Soler will be even more attractive on the free-agent market this winter without […]

Marlins Pick Up Jon Berti's 2024 Option

The Miami Marlins picked up infielder Jon Berti's $3.625 million team option for the 2024 season on Monday. Berti isn't a star by any means, but the 33-year-old brings plenty of value to the Fish as a utility infielder that can play multiple positions. He hit a strong .294 (114-for-388) with career-highs in home runs […]

Josh Bell Staying With Marlins

Miami Marlins first baseman Josh Bell has decided to stick around for at least one more season. The 31-year-old slugger has decided to accept his $16.5 player option for the 2024 season. On paper, this appears to be a good decision on both sides. Last season, Bell slashed .270/.338/.480 with 11 homers and 26 RBI […]

Jorge Soler To Opt Out Of Final Year Of His Deal

The Miami Marlins have been informed that outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler will exercise his opt-out clause on the final year of his three-year deal with the team, according to sources. It makes sense after Soler clubbed 36 home runs as a first-time All-Star in his second year in Miami in 2023. The 31-year-old right-handed slugger […]

Jonathan Davis, Enmanuel De Jesus, Jeff Lindgren Outrighted

The Miami Marlins outrighted outfielder Jonathan Davis (knee) and pitchers Enmanuel De Jesus and Jeff Lindgren to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday. Davis loses his roster spot after having season-ending surgery on his right knee back in early July. He has been running since close to the end of the regular season, though, so he should […]
