Photo by Brace Hemmelgarn/Minnesota Twins/ Larnach and Castro are in, Bailey Ober is out. With the latest round of roster moves this morning, the Twins’ opening day roster is starting to come together. Coming into Spring Training, the Twins’ roster seemed like it was all but finalized. However, as happens most Springs, injuries and slow recoveries threw some hitches in the Twins’ plan. However, with a few moves this morning, it seems like the Opening Day roster is all but set. As roster cuts happen throughout the league, there will likely be a few players the...

Sam Coonrod could see major league innings with Mets after healing from his lat injury
Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports Coonrod had been feeling good and pitching well in spring training before suffering the injury. Early in spring training, it looked like 30-year-old right-handed pitcher Sam Coonrod had a decent shot at making the Mets’ Opening Day bullpen. But a couple of weeks ago, he suffered a lat injury that will surely keep him out for at least a little while. The Mets claimed Coonrod off waivers from the Phillies in early February. He had spent the 2021 and 2022 seasons there, putting together a respectable 4.04 ERA in 42.1 innings in the first...

Spring GameThread: Jays @ Yankees
SetNumber: X67741 TK1 The Jays go to Tampa to play the Yankees. It is a 1:00 eastern start. It is on Sportsnet, picking up the Yankees’ broadcast. Not too many of the regulars are making the bus ride to Tampa. Kevin Gausman is making a minor league start in the ‘we want to hide him from AL East teams thing. I hate that idea, but it is how they do things today. I feel an old man rant coming on. Bowden Francis (I keep wanting to switch his name around) makes the start instead. Matt discussed him in his ‘over 25 Jays prospect’ post yesterday. If you haven’t...

We’re getting down to the wire with spring training games, with just three left before things start to count for real. The final trio of exhibition outings starts today, with the Yankees welcoming the division rival Toronto Blue Jays to Steinbrenner Field. Oswald Peraza hasn’t had quite the spring that shortstop competitor Anthony Volpe has, but can still end up the team’s Opening Day pick, especially with a big end to spring. He’ll bat ninth today,...

Mets option Brigham to Syracuse, send McFarland and Yacabonis to minor league camp
Jim Rassol-USA TODAY Sports The Mets’ Opening Day bullpen continues to take shape. The Mets have optioned right-handed relief pitcher Jeff Brigham to Triple-A Syracuse, and they’ve sent fellow righty Jimmy Yacabonis and the left-handed T.J. McFarland to minor league camp, as well. With Tommy Hunter having made the team and Edwin Díaz out long term, the bullpen will be anchored by David Robertson, Adam Ottavino, Brooks Raley, and Drew Smith. As Anthony DiComo points out on Twitter, all of those moves leave four pitchers in big league camp the mix for the final...

Sunday Bantering: Jays Bits
Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports Back from holiday for two full days, and I'm still trying to catch up on sleep. Yesterday I was in a fog all day. Today I will play squash in the afternoon and try to get back into the swing of things. We pretty much know the Jays' opening day roster will be now. The two questions that were left were about the last man in the bullpen, and with Pearson being optioned and Jay Jackson getting his release, it looks like Zack Pop will fill out the bullpen. Right now, the pen looks to...

Countdown to Opening Day: FOUR Rays can’t-miss prospects who missed
Photo by J. Meric/ Because prospects will break your heart We don’t mean to be glass half full types here, because Opening Day is all about endless possibilities. But if you’ve been a baseball fan for any length of time, there will be some prospects you have followed through the minors — heck, you may have celebrated their draft day — who you were sure would be impact players and then they weren’t. Let’s be clear, that the real disappointment belongs to the player: he’s the one who spent his young years taking BP or throwing bullpens and who maybe had to...

Today in White Sox History: March 26
Speedster Gary Redus joined the White Sox on this day, 36 years ago. | Mitchell Layton/ Another deal where Larry Himes made a steal 1968 The White Sox sell slugger Rocky Colavito to the Dodgers. Colavito had been acquired from Cleveland for help in the 1967 pennant race, but finished his career-worst full season adding little to the thin South Side offense — an 85 OPS+ over 60 games. Los Angeles would end up releasing him on July 11. With 44.8 WAR over just 12 full seasons, Colavito was one of the most prodigious sluggers in baseball history, with season comps...
