MIAMI -- When the United States assembled its super team for this World Baseball Classic, the selections were skewed toward established stars not just because of their talent but because of the guaranteed contracts that make them more prone to participate.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The White Sox installed two new regulars in their middle infield last season. Colson Montgomery arrived in July and went deep 21 times in 71 games, the best home run rate for a rookie shortstop in baseball history. Chase Meidroth shifted from shortstop to second base to

In the end, it was Lawless who got robbed. Tennessee sophomore Stone Lawless thought he'd powered the Volunteers to a ninth-inning lead against Georgia on Sunday when he crushed a towering drive to left off Bulldogs righty Justin Byrd that appeared bound to clear the fence. After the ball met

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The Reds have a recent history of sending talented shortstops to the Arizona Complex League to begin their first full season, having done that with Tyson Lewis and Sammy Stafura (now with the Pirates) in each of the last two springs. But neither of those prospects was

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Charlie Condon is not hard to find at Salt River Fields. At 6-foot-5, he towers over most of the Rockies’ clubhouse, but it is the noise he has been making in the batter’s box that has captured everyone’s attention. As Colorado heads into the final week of

PHOENIX -- Despite appearances, the Brewers are not a one-size-fits-all organization. Sure, the acquisition of 5-foot-7 infield/outfield prospect Jett Williams highlighted Milwaukee’s willingness to build a roster out of shorter players. Among the expected Opening Day starters are catcher William Contreras (5-foot-10), first baseman Andrew Vaughn (5-foot-10), shortstop Joey Ortiz

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. signed with the Blue Jays in July 2015 and made his debut in the rookie-level Appalachian League the following year. Bo Bichette was drafted in the second round of the 2016 Draft. They played together starting in 2017 with what was then Single-A Lansing

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- They’re not related and had never met prior to this spring, but Yordan Alvarez has been thoroughly impressed with the team’s top prospect, fellow Cuban outfielder Kevin Alvarez, who shared the field with the Astros slugger for the first time Sunday afternoon. Yordan, 28, was

TAMPA, Fla. -- Officially, Jordan Yost won’t get his first professional at-bat until the Minor League regular season begins and the Tigers assign their top pick from last year’s MLB Draft to his first Minor League stop. But nobody who saw him step to the plate in Sunday’s 12-1 win

NORTH PORT, Fla. – Didier Fuentes’ three scoreless innings against the Yankees on Friday wasn’t just one of the most impressive performances by a Braves pitcher this spring. It was also the realization of a dream. “My dream has always been to pitch against the Yankees, especially against [Cody] Bellinger,

MESA, Ariz. -- Two things can be true: River Ryan has been among the top-performing Dodgers fighting for a rotation spot this spring, and yet, he would appear unlikely to begin the season in the Majors. Ryan enters this season as the Dodgers' No. 6 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, a

The first two years of Spring Breakout play produced several memorable moments. Paul Skenes throwing a 102-mph fastball to Jackson Holliday and striking him out on a 92-mph slider, and Spencer Jones walloping 826 feet worth of home runs in 2024. Four of the game's top dozen prospects homering in

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Much of the encouraging talk surrounding the 2026 White Sox centers on the continued development of their young core who gained valuable on-field experience during the ’25 season.

TAMPA, Fla. – It’s a known part of the Yankees' prospect culture: Just because you were scouted and signed by the organization does not mean you’ll play for the team in New York. For a team always trying to win, and willing to bring in whatever big leaguers necessary to

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- While it’s commonplace for prospects from Minor League camp to see an at-bat or two late in Grapefruit League games, it’s rare for one to log significant time on the Major League diamond. It’s rarer still for one to start. Yet there was Mitch Voit,

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- A random Saturday afternoon in March of 2026 offered a glimpse of what the Nationals could see on the field years down the road. With 20-year-old left-hander Alex Clemmey starting and 23-year-old Harry Ford behind the plate in a Major League exhibition against the Marlins,

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Khal Stephen got a phone call at 5:30 a.m. on July 31 of last season, while he was with the Blue Jays’ Double-A New Hampshire affiliate in Bowie, Md. His next few hours were a whirlwind. Stephen learned he was being traded to the Guardians, and that
