• Astros Claim Rhylan Thomas
The Astros have claimed outfielder Rhylan Thomas off waivers from the Mariners, as announced by both teams. Houston moved right-hander Hunter Brown from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL in order to clear space for Thomas on the 40-man roster. More to come…...2026

• Preseason Prep - March 15, 2026
Salvador Perez (C-KC) hit just .236 with 30 HR, 100 RBI, and 54 R across 641 PA in 2025, but his wRC+ came in at a subpar 96. Surprisingly, that was somehow just the second time the vet hit 30 or more HR in a season as he regularly sits in the 20s. Although Father Time will eventually come for Perez, his low average in 2025 seems to be more a product of poor luck than anything else as his BABIP wa...2026

Twelve years ago I wrote a post about the return of the Topps Future Star(s) label and my lack of appreciation for it when Topps first broke it out in the late 1980s (although it used "Future Stars" to describe its three-player prospect cards at the start of the decade).

Jesus Luzardo, SP, Phillies Jesus Luzardo just signed a five-year, $135 million extension with the Phillies on Monday. That's certainly a vote of confidence for the lefty by his club, and it makes sense after his 2025 performance. He posted a 3.92 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with 216 strikeouts in 183.2 innings, going 15-7 with 18 quality starts. The ratios don't look the best, but they were also significan...2026

Cal Raleigh, C, Seattle Mariners Raleigh was a solid catching option from 2022-2024, hitting 91 homers over the course of those three seasons. Well, as we all know, Raleigh exploded in 2025, clubbing 60 homers and stealing 14 bags to boot, making him far and away the most valuable catcher in fantasy. With multiple productive seasons underneath his belt, there's no doubt that Raleigh is productive....2026

Triston Casas (1B-BOS) will most likely miss the rest of the 2025 campaign after being diagnosed with a ruptured left patellar tendon. The injury brings a premature end to a disappointing season for the 25 year-old slugger, who finishes with a .182 average, 3 homers, 11 RBI, and 5 runs scored over 112 PA with a poor 59 wRC+.
