Mets Claim 26-Year-Old RHP From Twins
On March 17, the Mets claimed right-handed reliever Dennis Santana from the Minnesota Twins. Santana, who turns 27 next month, has pitched in five MLB seasons, including a career-high 63 games in 2022 for the Rangers.

How Elvis Andrus Fits into the Chicago White Sox Lineup
Whether you consider yourself a casual fan or not, it is no secret that the Chicago White Sox organization has a track record of bringing in quality free agents that do not pan out the way the team hoped. On paper, many of these players make sense and fill much-needed holes in the roster, but […]

In 2021, the Detroit Tigers selected RHP Jackson Jobe third overall in the MLB Draft. A high school pitcher is a risky draft pick, but Jobe was and is different. Jobe’s pitching arsenal is electric, and it was too much for the Tigers to pass up. Currently ranked the top prospect in the Tigers pipeline, […]
