Fantasy Baseball Dynasty Prospects: Top 20 Starting Pitchers

Our journey continues around the minor leagues as we review the top dynasty prospects in baseball. Today, it’s time for the “chin music” as we throw one up-and-in, and break down the best starting pitcher prospects in baseball. It’s not easy to find a good rookie starting pitcher. Only 12 rookies pitched at least 100 […]

Zack Wheeler At Top Of White Sox's Wish List

Starting pitcher Zack Wheeler is the Chicago White Sox's top pitching target on the free-agent market. They aren't believed to be in on Gerrit Cole or Stephen Strasburg, and seem less so on Madison Bumgarner. Also reportedly interested in Wheeler are the Twins, Rangers, Reds and maybe the Blue Jays and Astros. Chicago could look […]

Zack Wheeler Could Sign Before Winter Meetings

Starting pitcher Zack Wheeler could sign a deal before the winter meetings next week in San Diego, and reported bidding has already hit $100 million for the right-hander. The White Sox, Twins and Rangers are just several of the interested parties. Wheeler has already met with several teams in person as well. The 29-year-old has […]

Blue Jays Could Go After Zack Wheeler

The Toronto Blue Jays top priority this winter is to improve their starting rotation, and starting pitcher Zack Wheeler could be at the top of their wish list. Gerrit Cole and Stephen Strasburg aren't realistic options. The 29-year-old Wheeler went 11-8 with a 3.96 ERA and 195 strikeouts over 195 1/3 innings. The right-hander is […]

2019 Season in Review - Edwin Diaz

After a lights-out 2018 campaign, Edwin Diaz emerged into the elite class of closers heading into the 2019 season. He wrapped up his historic year with the second-most saves in a single season (57) to go along with a sparkling 1.96 ERA, 0.79 WHIP, and 44.3% K-rate. The Mariners sold high on their young hurler […]

White Sox Looking At Zack Wheeler

The Chicago White Sox are in the market for a starting pitcher and have set their sights on starting pitcher Zack Wheeler. The ChiSox just made a big splash on Thursday by signing the best catcher on the market in Yasmani Grandal for four years, so now they'll look to bolster their rotation with one […]

Mets Interested In Robinson Chirinos

The New York Mets have shown interest in catcher Robinson Chirinos, according to an industry source. Chirinos will turn 36 next June and hit .238/.347/.443 while starting 106 games behind the plate for the Astros and playing strong defense in 2019. If the Mets keep Wilson Ramos, Chirinos could easily secure a better opportunity elsewhere […]

2019 Season-In-Review - Gary Sanchez

There's an old saying that goes, "You can't predict baseball." In general, that statement is true. The game has been played for well over a century and even with all that time to learn and all the advanced stats available to us in 2019, the game is still as unpredictable as ever. That being said, […]

Yoenis Cespedes Taking BP

New York Mets hitting instructor Endy Chavez posted a video on Instagram on Tuesday of outfielder Yoenis Cespedes (heels) taking batting practice. Cespedes hasn't played since July of 2018 due to multiple heel surgeries, and he's due $29.5 million. General manager Brodie Van Wagenen said that he does "not have enough information to predict when […]

Fantasy Baseball Dynasty Prospects: Top 10 Third Basemen

The third base position has some interesting names including a few that could develop into impact big league players. But it’s not an overly deep position in terms of established prospects. With that said, the 2019 amateur draft saw a number of intriguing amateurs turn pro so we may have more to get excited about […]

Robert Gsellman, Seth Lugo Could Enter Rotation

New York Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen said that relief pitchers Robert Gsellman and/or Seth Lugo could be shifted to starting roles in 2020 with Zack Wheeler potentially moving on in free agency. Lugo and Gsellman have both been more effective in relief, but both could be effective streamers in the right matchups in […]

No Timetable For Yoenis Cespedes

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes (ankle) continues to rehab from his injuries the past year, and general manager Brodie Van Wagenen said it's "too early to tell" if Cespedes will play in 2020. "I don't have enough information to predict when he's going to be back." He didn't play at all in 2019 and […]

Mets Decline Juan Lagares' Option

The New York Mets declined the option for outfielder Juan Lagares, ending his 13-year run with the team and making him a free agent. Lagares' option was worth $9.5 million, but they'll instead pay him a $500,000 buyout. The 30-year-old has become a glove-first player in the big leagues, but he's become injury-prone and averaged […]

Mets Hire Carlos Beltran As Manager

The New York Mets hired former All-Star outfielder Carlos Beltran as their new manager on Friday. He'll receive a three-year deal with an option for a fourth season. The nine-time All-Star played for New York from 2005 to 2011, but this will be his first gig as a manager in the big leagues. Beltran spent […]

Mets Won't Be Trading Noah Syndergaard, Edwin Diaz

New York Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen said that the team definitely won't be trading starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard or closer Edwin Diaz in the offseason. The Mets plan on contending next year and beyond, so it wouldn't make sense to trade one of their best pitchers and best relievers. Thor posted a career-worst […]
