MLB Trade Rumors

The Red Sox are known to be looking for bullpen upgrades. According to Sean McAdam and Chris Cotillo of MassLive, right-hander Seranthony Domínguez is one specific name they have checked in on, though the report suggests nothing is imminent.

He has generally done a good job of missing bats and … [Read more...] about Red Sox Have Shown Interest In Seranthony Domínguez

There hasn’t been much movement at the top of the free agent rotation market. Most of the focus on starting pitching has been on the trade front, though we didn’t see any major deals at the Winter Meetings. Most of the top trade candidates are questionable to move at all. Brewers star Freddy Peralta is among that group. Milwaukee isn’t motivated to trade the All-Star righty on … [Read more...] about Yankees, Astros Among Various Clubs Interested In Freddy Peralta Trade

Even as general manager Mike Hazen continues to downplay the possibility of a trade, Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is one of the most talked-about players around baseball’s Winter Meetings at the moment.

Michael King is one of the bigger risk-reward plays in the starting pitching class. He’s arguably a top 10 pitcher in MLB when healthy but is coming off a platform season that was wrecked by a nerve injury in his throwing shoulder. He’s also attached to draft compensation after rejecting a qualifying offer from the Padres. That hasn’t deterred plenty of teams from expressing … [Read more...] about Latest On Michael King’s Market

Boston designated him for assignment just yesterday as a corresponding move after acquiring Johan Oviedo from the Pirates.
