All eyes are on first baseman/designated hitter Rhys Hoskins, who signed a two-year, $34 million deal with the Milwaukee Brewers last week. The 30-year-old veteran missed the entire 2023 season after injuring his ACL during spring training, leaving Brewers fans wondering if he’ll be ready for camp.

Nick Seeler and Sean Walker, both Flyers defensemen, could be among those involved. With only two games scheduled this week, it’s probable that Seeler and Walker, the Flyers’ second defense pairing all season, are playing their…

Sal Frelick appears to be practicing only at second and third base for the time being in order to be prepared in the event of an emergency. The story in The Athletic that reported Frelick’s offseason project included praise for his progress from Dustin Pedroia (himself an undersized player who ended up right on the fringe of Hall of Fame status after a career spent at second base), and it noted the first-round pick’s track record as a middle infielder in high school and collegiate summer leagues, but it stopped well short of suggesting that Frelick will take over for…

The 196cm intercept back, who joined the Box Hill Hawks at the start of the 2024 preseason, will strengthen Hawthorn’s defensive options after James Blanck (ACL) was added to the long-term injury list last week.

The coaching staff and players of the Detroit Lions have Super Bowl experience, despite the team’s lack of Super Bowl experience overall. It wouldn’t hurt to increase free agency a little bit, though. With free agent CB Ronald Darby, Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report suggested that the Lions ought to think about doing that. Ballentine listed Darby as one of seven 2024 free agents that might go unnoticed on February 18. Ballentine listed Detroit as one of Darby’s two potential possibilities. “The market for Darby will probably be negatively impacted by a few worries. Ballentine noted, “He’s thirty years old…

The Ole Miss offensive appears to be nearly flawlessly designed for a team that is ready to compete in the College Football Playoffs this autumn. Nearly. Jaxson Dart, a Heisman Trophy candidate, is back at quarterback for the Rebels. He will be passing to a group of wide receivers who some have dubbed the best in the country. At least two of the tight ends on the club have the potential to play pass reception for an NFL team in the future. By bringing in four starters from other programs via the transfer portal, the offensive line has been reconfigured.…

Prior to recently signing with the Detroit Tigers, Keston Hiura, a former ninth overall choice of the Milwaukee Brewers, spent seven years with the team. During his time with the Brew Crew, he experienced several memorable experiences, such as hitting a walk-off home run against Craig Kimbrel and the Chicago Cubs in 2019 and the Pittsburgh Pirates in his final big league game. In Detroit he will have to play his way onto the 40-man roster but there is a clearer path to big league playing time.  He formerly struggled at second base and is best suited as a designated…

Video for Brewers We started examining undervalued prospects in the Brewers organisation last year. Given that the Crew has five players (Jackson Chourio, Jeferson Quero, Tyler Black, Joey Ortiz, and Jacob Misiorowski) in MLB Pipeline’s Top 100, it makes sense that many are focusing on their list of top prospects. However, it would be quite narrow-minded to disregard other guys. One overlooked youngster from the previous season turned into a key player in the Crew’s 2023 division title run. Is the Crew able to win the Andruw Monasterio jackpot once more? A Top 30 list on MLB Pipeline, let alone…
