Yankees traded Jose Miranda, Aaron Ashby, Denzel 21-Clarke, Ryan 22-Clifford to Padres for Patrick Wisdom, Shane Bieber For me, this is somewhat of a "pivot" trade driven by an onslaught of injuries coupled with my desire to have a productive competitive team in the IBC in 2024. For Z, it...

Jonathan Cannon , RHP, Chicago White Sox (Triple-A Charlotte): 5 IP, 0 ER, 5 H, 6 K, 3 BB. A 2022 third-rounder out of Georgia, Cannon has climbed the system ladder in the brisk, workmanlike manner one might expect out of a major conference college arm. His numbers weren’t exceptional in the SEC, h...

Awesome ... Thanks Shawn!

To clarify, I released the pick to be roster complaint. It passed through waivers and Z signed it ... Perfectly legal in my mind. And any team could have done it.

31. Christian Oppor , LHP Chicago’s 2023 fifth-rounder is a projectable lefthander with athleticism and an intriguing three-pitch mix. The juco product has a fastball and slider that project as above-average offerings and a changeup that could get to fringe-average. Oppor ties it all together with p...

The Padres are done with 2024 IBC draft

I think Bauer is clearly ineligible to be signed NOW (although I fully expected someone would attempt to sign him when I posted his recent "Mexican signing with hope to sign with MLB club later posting). To clarify - I think the IBC ZiPs bidding process should end 24 hours prior to the first of...

by Zach Buchanan (Fangraphs) March 14, 2024 For one awkward beat, there was silence. Just like always, everyone in the room had offered an opinion.
