Trevor Story (SS - BOS)
2/16/25 3:20 PM - Tigers fans' reaction to Javy Báez injury has Red Sox fans thankful for Trevor Story. Trevor Story's tenure in Boston has been marred by inconsistency, as he's played just 163 games in three seasons due to persistent injuries. Not only that, but in those 163 games, he's been far from the player the Red Sox signed to a six-year, $140 million contract back in 2022. Likewise a member of the 2022 free agent class, Báez signed with Detroit for the exact same contract that Story got in Boston.

The new offseason routine, combined with a change in his mindset — Paddack felt he had gotten too comfortable, and spent the offseason rediscovering his purpose — has him feeling rejuvenated as he enters the final year of his contract. While there was chatter about Paddack being traded this offseason — he is in the final year of a three-year, $12.5 million extension and he is due $7.5 million this year — he tried his best to avoid the rumors.

2/16/25 12:06 PM - Chicago White Sox Trade Acquisition Expected to Play Big Role in 2025.

Given that the White Sox went 41-121 last season and set the Modern Era record for losses, there is ample opportunity for Meidroth to make his presence known.

This week, our Hitter Profiles take a deeper dive into some under-the-radar prospects who should be on fantasy managers’ radars heading into the 2025 season. For our purposes, we’re focusing on players who have yet to debut at the major league level. Of course, the big names—Kristian Campbell, Coby Mayo, and Roman Anthony—are getting plenty of attention. But we’re here to spotlight the lesser-known players who could make an impact in redraft leagues. These are the late-round heroes you’re looking for while everyone else is swooning over the top-tier prospects. Hitting the lottery on one of these guys might just plug that early-season injury hole or give your bench a much-needed boost.

2/15/25 2:12 PM - Kenta Maeda shakes up offseason approach in bid to rejoin Tigers rotation. Kenta Maeda said it was the most frustrating season of his career and he was determined it wouldn't happen again. The Detroit Tigers, who plan to give him every opportunity to win a spot in the starting rotation, hope the changes pay dividends this spring. Maeda said he has no plans to ease into the season. “In the past, my focus was more on gradually preparing, making sure I felt good rather than focusing on results,” he said in Japanese in an interview aided by interpreter Daichi Sekizaki.

Gunnar Henderson (SS - BAL)
2/15/25 2:06 PM - Orioles pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano's 'championship' message will catch Yankees' attention. The Baltimore Orioles enter spring training with a starkly different aura surrounding them than the one that pervaded Sarasota, Florida in 2024. Last year, the theme was “reaching the next level.” Although players like Gunnar Henderson and Anthony Santander satisfied that criteria on an individual level, the O's took a step back as a unit. The men in the clubhouse do not believe there is a fraud alert sounding in Camden Yards, however.

2/15/25 1:28 PM - Red Sox's Alex Cora Setting Out Lofty Goal For Trevor Story. Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story hasn't exactly been the model of consistency since joining the organization in 2022. Story has seen his total output dip year over year, playing in 163 of a possible 486 games over the last three seasons. Boston has scrambled to find replacements for him throughout that period, with the likes of Christian Arroyo, Yu Chang, Kiké Hernández, David Hamilton and Ceddanne Rafaela all being thrown into the fire because of it. Red Sox manager Alex Cora still has high expectations for Story, though, sharing his overall message when speaking to reporters on Saturday.

Crawford, 28, hit the ground running to begin the 2024 season with a 1-0 record and 0.66 ERA over his first five starts.

2/15/25 12:49 PM - New Twins first baseman Ty France will 'play a lot'. Ty France isn't going to use a fracture in his right heel as an excuse for the subpar season he had last year at the plate. France, whose deal with the Twins was made official Saturday after he agreed to a one-year, $1 million non-guaranteed contract earlier in the week, is looking to bounce back after a season disrupted by the foot injury — and the Twins plan on giving him plenty of opportunities. France, 30, hit .251 with a .683 OPS last season but was an all-star in 2022, and had the best season of his career in 2021 — .291 batting average, 18 homers and 73 RBIs in 152 games for Seattle. “There was a lot that went into it,” France said of 2024.

Chicago has also added starters with higher talent floors, allowing them to create a balanced starting lineup and rotation with more instead of concentrating aptitude within a few positions. Locked and loaded with skilled players within all levels of the league, the Sox are primed to be one of the most active trade partners in the first half of the season.

Sugano arrived at the Orioles' spring training camp Saturday morning, two months after signing with Baltimore. Per the Baltimore Banner's Andy Kostka, the first words the Japanese pitcher said to the rest of the team – through an interpreter – were "Let's go win a world championship." The 35-year-old right-hander is on a one-year deal with the Orioles, so he doesn't have a particularly long runway to win a World Series in Baltimore.

2/15/25 8:03 AM - Orioles' Jackson Holiday Put on Weight With an Unusual Offseason Breakfast. Jackson Holliday really beefed up during the offseason. Holliday, part of the Baltimore Orioles promising young core, made his MLB debut last year. Taken with the No. 1 pick in 2022 MLB draft, Holliday hit just .189 with 11 extra-base hits in his first season. In an interview with the Baltimore Banner, Holliday revealed that he had started to feel a little tired near the end of the year. By the time the season ended the six-footer was down to 188 pounds. Over the winter he and his father, former MLB player Matt Holliday, focused on making him "look jacked." The truth is probably much more complicated, but Holliday basically said he lifted heavy stuff and ate lots of beef. Specifically for breakfast.
