The saying goes that relievers are failed starters. If you believe that, revisit how much the Padres gave up for Mason Miller at last year’s Trade Deadline, and then look at Miller’s dominance to begin his first full season in San Diego. After that, look at the three-year, $69 million

The timing was perfect: a Mets legend in the booth as one of the team's top prospects -- perhaps a future legend himself -- stepped to the plate. Then, all it took was one pitch, and Jacob Reimer knew what to do with it. With Mets Hall of Famer Dwight

Henry Bolte's single-game performance Friday for Triple-A Las Vegas would stand as a good week for most players.

• Get tickets to a Minor League game The A's No. 5 prospect went 5-for-5 with five extra-base hits -- two homers, two doubles and a triple -- against St. Paul at

Arjun Nimmala has been in Double-A for less than a week, but it seems like he's already comfortable at his new level.

• Get tickets to a Minor League game The Blue Jays' No. 3 prospect -- and MLB No. 64 -- recorded four hits and scored twice for the

Jonah Tong finds himself back in a position all too familiar to opposing batters. The Mets' No. 2 prospect racked up eight strikeouts to move back atop the MiLB leaderboard and yielded two runs -- one coming after he departed -- in five-plus frames for Triple-A Syracuse which lost to

He’s only six starts into his professional career, but Seth Hernandez continues to look like one of the game's next great young strikeout artists. The Pirates' No. 2 prospect put forth yet another dominant display Friday night, punching out nine batters for a third consecutive outing for Single-A Bradenton, helping

Death, taxes and Kade Anderson posting a near-perfect outing at Double-A. In the year 2026, few players at any level have been more reliable than MLB’s No. 14 prospect. On Friday, he once again delivered the inevitable for Double-A Arkansas, striking out nine over 5 2/3 innings in the first

Anyone who had the privilege of seeing Bo Jackson at the height of his sports career knows what a marvel it was to watch the only man to claim a Heisman Trophy, MLB All-Star honors and be named to an NFL Pro Bowl. His talent was indisputably 1-of-1. So to

JD Dix is perennially on the hunt to reach base. Work the count, get plunked, spray the ball all over the field, or even, drop down a bunt. Which is how he discovered a way to unlock some home run pop. Dix recorded the first two-homer game of his career

Just three games into his Triple-A career, Braden Montgomery is already making his mark. Montgomery, the White Sox’ No. 1 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 29 overall, tallied his first multi-hit game at the level Thursday in a 16-1 win for Charlotte over Jacksonville at Bragan Field at VyStar Ballpark.

A pair of top Cardinals prospects helped drive High-A Peoria to a walk-off, 7-6 win over Wisconsin on Thursday at Dozer Park. Yhoiker Fajardo, a piece of this offseason’s Willson Contreras trade, continued his strong start on the mound with five innings on one-run ball, striking out seven and walking

Double-A Wichita brought out the big bats on Thursday. The Wind Surge (Double-A affiliate of the Twins) crushed 10 home runs in their matchup against the Amarillo Sod Poodles (D-backs) in a 19-7 win. Seven different Wind Surge hitters went yard, including three homers from leadoff hitter Garrett Spain and

When Ethan Holliday took a fastball off his left elbow last Thursday, the Rockies organization must have held its collective breath. The 19-year-old doubled over in pain for almost a minute before taking his base. He eventually left that contest, but he wasn't held down for long. Since returning to

Perhaps the only thing that rivals the Dodgers' deep and abiding talent base is the organization's proficiency at finding, developing and incorporating more of it. Mike Sirota appears to be yet another shining gem in an organization teeming with them. A week after homering three times in a doubleheader, Los

Edwin Arroyo is catching fire at Triple-A. The Reds' No. 6 prospect blasted his fifth home run of the season while collecting four hits and four RBIs -- both season highs -- in Louisville’s 9-6 loss to Nashville on Thursday night at Slugger Field. That gave the switch-hitting Arroyo his

NEW YORK -- The Yankees have dreamed upon this for years: An outfield stocked with towering sluggers Aaron Judge and Spencer Jones, a pair of 6-foot-7 mashers obliterating balls from opposite sides of the plate. That vision will become reality this weekend. The Yankees officially called up Jones, the organization’s

LOS ANGELES -- Nearly five weeks removed from sustaining a right oblique strain, Mookie Betts is on the verge of returning to the Dodgers. Betts began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, going 1-for-3 at the plate and playing five innings at shortstop. He's scheduled to suit

MIAMI -- For the Orioles, the focus remains on taking things day by day over the course of a 162-game season. That same approach is being applied to infielder Jackson Holliday as he continues working his way back from a right hand injury. Holliday took live batting practice with Double-A

Bryce Rainer, the Tigers’ No. 2 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 28 overall, is heating up. Rainer on Wednesday clobbered his first home run since being promoted to High-A West Michigan, highlighting a 2-for-3 day for the shortstop in a 4-3 loss to Dayton at LMCU Ballpark. The 11th overall

Tate Southisene continues to roll for Single-A Augusta. The 19-year-old shortstop and Braves No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline had another good game on Wednesday and is offering a glimpse of what could be on the horizon for Atlanta within a few years. Southisene, the Braves' first-round pick in the

Henry Bolte has been known to launch a ball over a fence on occasion. Or in this case, over just about everything. The A's No. 5 prospect hammered a 479-foot long ball, the longest on record by Statcast at any level -- in the Majors or the Minors -- this
