Just down the (not-yet-under-construction) I-95 corridor, the Carpenter family wondered if their own N.L. franchise, the Philadelphia Phillies, could help fill the void.

2+ hour, 17+ min ago (691+ words) Three very credible Japanese players should be attracting a huge amount of attention by Major League Baseball organizations. The three players posted by their respective Nippon Professional Baseball clubs in Japan are available to be signed as free agents. The three Japanese players include: Tatsuya Imai-Right Handed Pitcher-Age 27-posted by Seibu Lions To this old scout, Okamoto may elicit the most competitive bidding among the three highly regarded Japanese free agents. Okamoto is the oldest of the group, and he may fetch the shortest contract length, and possibly the lowest average annual contract value among the trio. Given his age, it is likely teams other than the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have a history of attracting high impact Japanese free agents, may enter the bidding for Okamoto. A right-handed hitter, Kazuma Okamoto plays third base, first base, and even some…...

2+ hour, 22+ min ago (372+ words) A few years ago, the discourse about the Cleveland Guardians focused on the number of middle infield prospects in the farm system. In 2022, the Guardians had Gabriel Arias, Brayan Rocchio, Tyler Freeman, Jose Tena, and Angel Martinez in the organization while Amed Rosario and Andres Gimenez were Cleveland's up-the-middle duo at the big-league level. While they each have shown signs, some more than others, none of them proved they could be Cleveland's long-term option on the middle-left side of the infield. Some of these players aren't even in the organization anymore. At what point will the Guardians go outside of the organization to fill the shortstop void? ESPN's Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel recently named the Guardians as a potential trade fit for the Washington Nationals' infielder CJ Abrams. Should Cleveland pull off a possible blockbuster trade for the 25-year-old…...
