The last big publication, FanGraphs, have released their released their pre-season Braves top prospect list – lets jump in and take a look.

Let’s break down this list into groups of five and discuss.

Group 1

  • JR Ritchie
  • Didier Fuentes
  • Cam Caminiti
  • Owen Murphy
  • Alex Lodise

While there is no surprise in the names associated with the top five, save maybe Alex Lodise, the order in which they are ranked is open for discussion. Without a true plus pitch, according to the writer, JR Ritchie tops the list above Didier Fuentes and Cam Caminiti both of whom have at least one pitch that is currently graded with a future value of 60. Sliding in after Cam is Owen Murphy, but then surprisingly it’s Alex Lodise who is the first positional player to reach the list. With a 20 grade hit tool, and the approach problem that currently plagues him, it’s interesting to say the least that Lodise is above the likes of a Gil or a Tornes who have both made names for themselves with their very professional approach at the plate. While there’s nothing necessarily wrong with this grouping, it’s just an overall interesting way to group them.

Group 2

  • Garrett Baumann
  • Luke Sinnard
  • Diego Tornes
  • John Gil
  • Tate Southisene

A lot to like about the names on this section of the list, but once again it’s the order of the players that comes into question. Without a true standout pitch, at least yet, Garrett Baumann comes in above Luke Sinnard and his slider/cutter/splitter combination of pitches. Diego Tornes, and John Gil coming in below Lodise is questionable but make sure to read what was said about the two, as there is lofty praise.

Group 3

  • Briggs McKenzie
  • Owen Carey
  • Conor Essenburg
  • Edelson Cabral
  • Raudy Reyes

Much like the second group, tools stand out in this section as Briggs McKenzie and his curveball, Owen Carey and his overall approach, Conor Essenburg and his power potential, and Raudy Reyes and his massive fastball make this portion of the list. The intriguing addition is Edelson Cabral, who was considered a polished middle infielder, without the highest of upsides found his way all the way to #14 overall.

Group 4

  • Eric Hartman
  • Blake Burkhalter
  • Rolddy Muñoz
  • Carter Holton
  • Luis Guanipa

Group 4 consists of a high upside athletic 2B/OF in Eric Hartman, a trio of relievers (potentially), and a 5-tool prospect who has struggled with injuries. While Guanipa dropping to 20 isn’t that big of a surprise because he has yet to fully put together a season, having his enormous upside below the likes of Blake Burkhalter and Rolddy Muñoz paints the picture of someone who highlights ceiling more than floor – again a perfectly reasonable thing to do, just doesn’t necessarily fit with my line of thinking/ranking. That said, it is nice to see Eric Hartman getting national love as he does have a very intriguing skill set that every organization would want.

Group 5

  • Landon Beidelschies
  • Lucas Braun
  • Drue Hackenberg
  • Ethan Bagwell
  • Hayden Harris

Once again the value of relievers is apparent as Landon Beidelschies and Hayden Harris make up 40% of this grouping. While it is interesting to see Lucas Braun and Drue Hackenberg that close, it speaks more to Drue’s upside than it does his struggles on the mound in 2025. Ethan Bagwell coming in at 24 is one of the highest rankings I’ve seen for him to which I personally love.

Group 6

  • Herick Hernandez
  • Angel Carmona
  • Brett Sears
  • Cade Kuehler
  • Jose Perdomo

The biggest part of this list is the inclusion of Angel Carmona this high on a list, with Jose Perdomo dropping all the way to 30th. Angel had a fantastic 2025, with an .827 OPS across 20 games in his age 18 season so it’s not surprising he is getting love, just surprising to see him over the likes of a Jeremy Reyes, Rayven Antonio, Cody Miller, Dixon Williams, Jhancarlos Lara, or Isaiah Drake all players with large upsides that put together strong seasons themselves against higher quality competition. There’s nothing against Carmona, but when that much talent is left off the list it’s an interesting choice.

Group 7

  • Connor Thomas
  • Jose Manon
  • Starlyn De La Cruz

Love the additions of Starlyn and Jose Manon this high on any list despite not having played a game yet, but again it’s the addition of a Connor Thomas over any of the players listed in the above section that warrants discussion.

What are your thoughts on Fangraphs list? Do you like the aggressive rankings of floors over ceilings? What are the biggest changes you would make?

Celtics at Spurs prediction: Odds, recent stats, trends, and best bets for March 10

This is the second and final meeting of the season between Boston (43-21) and San Antonio (47-17) as they matchup on NBC and Peacock. The Spurs won the first meeting, 100-95, back on Jan. 10.

Boston is 8-2 since the All-Star break and has won the past two by double digits with Jayson Tatum back in the mix. Tatum played 27 minutes in both games and averages 17.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in the wins over Dallas and at Cleveland. Boston has won seven of the past eight road games and have a trip to Oklahoma City on deck after San Antonio.

San Antonio has won four consecutive games and 15 out of the past 16. The Spurs are one of the hottest teams in the league with a lone 114-89 loss to the Knicks as the only blemish. Victor Wembanyama is third in MVP odds and is averaging 25.8 points, 11.0 rebounds, and 4.6 blocks over five games in March. This is the fourth game in a six-game home stand for the Spurs as they round it out with Denver and Charlotte after Boston.

The Celtics sit at second in the East with a 43-21 record, trailing the Pistons by 2.5 games, while the Spurs are second in the West with a 47-17 record, trailing the Thunder by 3.0 games.

Washington Nationals officially sign Zack Littell to an incentive laden one-year deal

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - AUGUST 5: Zack Littell #52 of the Cincinnati Reds pitches in a game against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on August 5, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois. (Photo by Matt Dirksen/Getty Images) | Getty Images

While the news broke a couple days ago, the Nats made the signing of Zack Littell official. We also got the terms of the deal, which are quite interesting. The base of the contract is a one-year $7 million deal. However, with incentives and a mutual option, Littell is likely to make much more than that.

If you include the $4 million buyout, the least Littell could make is $11 million dollars. By 2020’s Nats standards, $11 million is a big investment. Heading into the offseason, Littell likely expected to make more on a multi-year deal. However, he had to settle for this offer as Opening Day loomed. 

The incentives are based off of innings pitched. They start at 100 innings, and continue to climb as he throws more. Littell is a workhorse who threw 186.2 innings last year, so these incentives are quite attainable. It may not be what he was looking for after posting a sub-4 ERA in over 185 innings, but this is still a solid deal for Littell.

He was actually in the locker room this morning, so I got the chance to talk to him for a bit. While he signed late in the offseason, Littell is confident he will be ready for Opening Day. He said that he has been throwing live sessions to hitters and building up as he normally would in a season. Littell told me he and the Nats will “map out” the next steps, but he feels like he is right on schedule. 

Interestingly, Littell said that his agent and Paul Toboni have a great relationship and had been talking throughout the offseason. It seems like Toboni waited for the price tag to come down and struck when the market got to where he wanted it. Littell said the Nats were always “hanging around and checking in” throughout the process.

Speaking of relationships, Littell mentioned that he has some ties to the Nats new staff. He did not really know any of the players, but his days with the Rays created ties with the Nats staff, which has a lot of connections to Tampa. Michael Johns, the Nats bench coach is one guy he mentioned. He was the first base coach for the Rays while Littell was there.

Obviously manager Blake Butera was with the Rays, but he and Littell did not interact much. Butera was working on the minor league side of things, while Littell was a big league pitcher. He said that they would see each other around every once in a while, but nothing beyond that.

However, he said that Butera was well regarded in the Rays clubhouse. Littell said that guys who played for Butera loved him and he never heard a bad word about the new Nats skipper. He also worked with Simon Mathews while he was with the Reds, and he said he was excited to reconnect with him.

After the season he had, Littell probably thought he would get a bigger deal than this, but he seemed excited to be on board. Littell brings a combination of reliability and production that the Nats needed badly. This surprise late addition really raises the floor of the Nats rotation.

The Nats needed to open up a 40-man roster spot to make this move, and did so by DFA’ing Richard Lovelady. While Lovelady had his moments this spring, his control was hit or miss. Hopefully he passes through waivers because Lovelady is a useful depth arm.

Lovelady is no stranger to the waiver wire. This is the fifth time Lovelady has been DFA’d in the last 12 months. He is the epitome of a guy who sticks on the back end of a 40-man roster.

Overall, this Littell pickup is very exciting by Nats free agent standards. Hopefully Littell has a solid season and either becomes a trade chip, or someone the Nats can keep around longer term. At just 30 years old, he could be a useful middle to back of the rotation arm for years to come.

Arozarena unloads vulgar rant about Seattle teammate Cal Raleigh after WBC handshake snub

HOUSTON (AP) — Randy Arozarena had vulgar words for Seattle teammate Cal Raleigh after he was left hanging at the World Baseball Classic.

Arozarena, a two-time All-Star outfielder, seemingly lashed out at Raleigh after the Team USA catcher did not accept a handshake before an at-bat in the United States’ 5-3 win over Mexico.

Speaking to Mexican journalist Luis Gilbert in Spanish, Arozarena said Raleigh “has to thank God that he has nice parents, well educated,” and said he recently hugged them during a friendly greeting at the team hotel.

He then used profane Cuban and Mexican slang to insult Raleigh before pivoting to English and saying Raleigh could shove his “good to see you” in his rear. Arozarena was born in Cuba but defected to Mexico to pursue an MLB career.

Arozarena had reached down to greet Raleigh in his catcher's squat at home plate, and Raleigh declined to offer his hand back. Raleigh appeared to say something to Arozarena during the exchange at the plate that could have set off the Mexican star.

Arozarena appeared to be visibly upset at Raleigh, though it wasn’t totally clear if he was just having fun at his teammates’ expense. The pair have been teammates since Arozarena was traded from Tampa Bay to Seattle during the 2024 season.

Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer and Roman Anthony added a three-run drive in a big third inning to lead the United States to the win. The U.S. improved to 3-0 and will meet Italy (2-0) on Tuesday night, seeking to secure a spot in the quarterfinals in Houston this weekend.

Jarren Duran homered twice for Mexico (2-1), which will face Italy on Wednesday night in the last game of Group B play.

J.T. Miller Slated To Return To Rangers' Lineup Sooner Rather Than Later

J.T Miller appears to be inching toward a return to the New York Rangers’ lineup. 

The Rangers placed Miller on injured reserve on March 3 after a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets due to an upper-body injury. 

It’s the second time Miller has missed time with an upper-body injury, but both injuries are reportedly not related and are entirely separate. 

Mike Sullivan insinuated that Miller got hurt around the time he was hit in the head with a puck in the third period of the Rangers’ 5-4 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on March 2.

The 32-year-old forward returned to the ice for the first time on Tuesday for the Rangers’ morning skate ahead of their matchup against the Calgary Flames, wearing a red non-contact jersey. 

“Pretty well,” Sullivan said about how Miller is progressing. “He's had a number of skates on his own with our skill guys. He joined the group today. Obviously, that suggests progress.”

Mike Sullivan's Shift In Philosophy Greatly Benefits Rangers' Youth Mike Sullivan's Shift In Philosophy Greatly Benefits Rangers' Youth The New York <a href="https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-rangers/">Rangers</a>’ dominant 6-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night was led by the impressive play of some of the team’s young talent.

Miller has missed the past three games, but he’s slated to shed his red non-contact jersey soon and hence return to the lineup, likely sometime in the coming games.

“We'll take each day as it comes, but I would anticipate sooner than later,” Sullivan said about whether Miller is close to shedding his non-contact jersey.

Miller’s appearance at the morning skate on Tuesday indicates that he could join the team on their road trip to Winnipeg and Minnesota this week.

Timberwolves at Lakers predictions: Odds, recent stats, trends, and best bets for March 10

The third and final meeting between the Lakers (39-25) and Timberwolves (40-24) happens tonight on NBC and Peacock at 11 PM Eastern. Los Angeles is 2-0 in the series and won by 18 and 1 point, both coming back in October.

Minnesota had their five-game win streak snapped on Saturday in a 17-point home loss to Orlando. The Timberwolves prepare for a four-game road trip that starts with the Lakers tonight, the Clippers tomorrow, then the Warriors, and Thunder on Friday and Sunday. Minnesota has won four-straight road games and six of the past seven.

Los Angeles has won five of the last six games entering this matchup, including Sunday's home win over the Knicks. That was the Lakers' first win as an underdog this season and they are listed as a home dog the very next contest. Los Angeles' star LeBron James is questionable in this game and missed Sunday's contest.

Lets take a closer look at tonight’s matchup and take into consideration lineups, injuries, and other factors affecting the line and total.

Mets news: Team announces first roster cuts, option/reassign Tong, Wenninger, Morabito, Ross, and Pintaro

PORT ST. LUCIE, FLORIDA - FEBRUARY 19: Jack Wenninger #92 of the New York Mets poses for a photo during the New York Mets Photo Day at Clover Park on February 19, 2026 in Port St. Lucie, Florida. (Photo by Rich Storry/Getty Images) | Getty Images

Over the last few days, the Mets made their first roster cuts of spring training, cutting five players from major league camp. Jack Wenninger, the only one of the five not on the 40-Man Roster, was reassigned to minor-league camp, while the four players on the 40 were optioned to Triple-A. Those four players are Jonah Tong, Nick Morabito, Dylan Ross, and Jonathan Pintaro. The Mets are now down to 63 players in major league camp.

These moves are not a referendum on the individual performances, but rather an opportunity to both get them set up for their seasons in Triple-A and also to allow the Mets to have more opportunity to evaluate players who are more on the bubble for a roster spot. All of these players will possibly and perhaps are even likely to appear in further major league spring training games, and the move to minors camp is more just to start the process of shaping the Opening Day roster.

Ross, the first cut, happened back on March 6 without a single pitch tossed in a spring game. Morabito appeared in five games, collecting two hits in 11 plate appearances with a walk, a double, two RBIs, and two stolen bases. This all aligns with the type of player he’s been thus far.

Tong made one start in spring thus far, going two and a third innings, striking out two, allowing three earned runs on a home run and two other hits while walking one and hitting another batter. The line doesn’t look fantastic, but his stuff looked good until he tired in the third inning and gave up the dinger.

Pintaro made two relief appearances for the Mets, going four innings of one-run ball, striking out and walking four apiece. He also allowed four hits.

Wenniger, one of the next batch of starting pitching prospects a little behind the Tong/Nolan McLean/Christian Scott class, appeared in three games, tossing six and two-thirds innings. His control was a little off, allowing seven walks, but he struck out ten and gave up two earned runs on six hits.

It wouldn’t be surprising to see at least two of three, if not all five, of these players get some big league appearances in 2026.

Oilers vs Avalanche Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight’s NHL Game

We're in for a heavyweight tilt between the Edmonton Oilers and the Colorado Avalanche.

It’ll be the Connor McDavid vs. Nathan MacKinnon show in Denver tonight, but my Oilers vs. Avalanche predictions focus on Edmonton's captain.

Find out why in my NHL picks for March 10.

Oilers vs Avalanche prediction

Oilers vs Avalanche best bet: Connor McDavid Over 1.5 points (+100)

Connor McDavid is priced at +100 to go Over his posted total of 1.5 points tonight, a line he's eclipsed in five of his last six outings — averaging two points per game over that stretch. 

The Colorado Avalanche's penalty kill has been sloppy of late, allowing at least one goal in six of their last seven games. 

This should be an avenue where McDavid can get an edge on Colorado, as the Edmonton Oilers have an NHL-best power play operating at a 32.7% clip — and McDavid is leading the league with 43 power-play points.

Oilers vs Avalanche same-game parlay

This is a matchup of two offensive juggernauts with suspect goaltending. The Over is 7-1-2 in the Oilers’ last 10 games, and it's hit in three straight meetings between these two clubs.

Evan Bouchard leads all NHL blueliners with 73 points, 55 of which are assists. He’s recorded at least one helper in seven straight games.

Oilers vs Avalanche SGP

  • Connor McDavid Over 1.5 points
  • Evan Bouchard Over 0.5 assists
  • Over 6.5

Oilers vs Avalanche odds

  • Moneyline: Oilers +150 | Avalanche -175
  • Puck Line: Oilers +1.5 (-150) | Avalanche -1.5 (+130)
  • Over/Under: Over 6.5 (-145) | Under 6.5 (+125)

Nets vs. Pistons preview: This time with Cade Cunningham

MIAMI, FL - MARCH 8: Tobias Harris #12 of the Detroit Pistons dribbles the ball during the game against the Miami Heat on March 8, 2026 at Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida.

And just like that, the Nets took care of business yet again! We’re streaking! The Memphis Grizzlies were lacking their eight highest paid players. So, Brooklyn used a balance of perimeter offense and size down low to literally out man the Grizzlies. As I predicted, Day’Ron Sharpe did his thing with 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting, which means I can now deem myself the official fortune teller of the franchise! Nolan Traore also had a great game with a 17 point performance. 

With all the smiles and bench celebrations the Nets had last night, tonight brings a reality check. They will take on the Detroit Pistons. No, this will not be the same banged up Pistons team that fell short to Brooklyn two games back. Tonight, this will be a Cade Cunningham-led Pistons squad that is looking to make a strong push in the playoffs. As the No. 1 seed, Detroit will look to assert its dominance as a potential championship contender.

Where to Watch

Catch the action on the YES Network and NBA League Pass, as well as streaming on the Gotham Sports App.

Injury Report

Don’t know about the Nets just yet, but we do know that Egor Demin won’t be playing. He’s out for the rest of the season. Michael Porter Jr. was out last night for rest so presumably he’ll be back.

For the Pistons, our old buddy Caris Levert (left wrist sprain) and Ausar Thompson (right ankle sprain) will be out.

The Game

A couple of seasons ago, the Detroit Pistons had a record of 14-68. The situation was so bad, that Cade Cunningham went viral for his distraught at his own franchise after they had lost their 25th straight game.

Even three straight years with the NBA’s worst record didn’t help in the lottery. They kept falling to No. 5, the worst possible luck.

Now, the Pistons hold the best record in the Eastern Conference, Cunningham has transformed into an MVP candidate, and the city of Detroit now has something that could remind them of that championship taste they had back in 2004.

While there are other teams that basketball minds believe are a step further along than the Pistons, like the Knicks and the Boston Celtics, who now have Jayson Tatum back. That said, the future in Motor City is looking very scary considering that Cunningham is only 24 and his Robin in Jalen Duren is 22.

Indeed, the New Bad Boys have special motivation to kick Brooklyn’s butt following that ignominious loss a couple of days back and that loss is part of an ongoing four-game losing streak. There’s no panic (yet) in Motor City but a loss to the 16-win Nets would probably bring it on. For Brooklyn, the motivation is simple as well: they have the chance at a three-game winning streak, a first this season.

Ausar Thompson is arguably the best athlete in the NBA, the only one who could take his place is his twin in Houston. , injured his ankle last week against the San Antonio Spurs. Since then, Detroit has lost a generational defender who can guard multiple positions. With MPJ possibly back, this can lead to him getting many more clean looks and chances to get his teammates involved. Brooklyn lost some of its shooting with Egor now out for the rest of the season, but if Porter Jr. can balance creating offense for himself and for others, this can be a closer game than we think.

Player to Watch

Tobias Harris is the quintessential role player at this point in his career and with injuries to the Pistons core, many in Detroit see him as the key guy to step up and bridge the gap. Now 33, he can still make a point both on the court and in the locker room. Sports Illustrated this week suggested that the Pistons need him now and in the post-season.

Throughout his NBA career, Tobias Harris has proven to be a reliable role player, however he’s also shown flashes of inconsistency. Just ask Philadelphia 76ers fans, who Harris played for from 2018 to 2023. In the Pistons’ recent loss to the Miami Heat, Harris scored nine points, three blocks, and one rebound. 

As the team’s third leading scorer, Harris has the opportunity to be a difference maker for the Pistons. His offensive performance, along with Cunningham’s and Duren’s, will fuel a playoff run for the Pistons. One poor performance by Harris in a postseason game could be the difference between the Pistons winning a playoff series and being eliminated. 

Look for the Pistons to look to him tonight to pull it together.

The Vault

With Detroit coming to Brooklyn, I think it’s a good time to honor one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time with two of arguably the greatest rappers of all time, who are from Brooklyn and Detroit. Enjoy.

These cities watched more college basketball than any one else this season

March Madness captivates audiences across the country. But which markets have been tuned in all yearlong for the men's and women's 2025-26 basketball season?

The Nielsen ratings for this season are out, and Louisville got the spot, which isn't entirely surprising since it's basically a Holy Trinity of Hoops with Indiana, Louisville and Kentucky fans. Plus, the Cardinals' men's (No. 24) and women's (No. 12) teams are having decent seasons,

Indianapolis is No. 2 on the list. Purdue began the season ranked No. 1 in the country, but has stumbled down the stretch, and Indiana also has been a rough watch lately. But basketball is king in the Hoosier State.

UConn's men's and women's basketball success puts the Hartford/New Haven market in the top 3. And Ohio is well-represented with three cities from the Buckeye State cracking the top-10.

Here's a look at this year's top 10 markets:

Picking the Dodgers opening day starting rotation

There are two weeks of exhibition games remaining before things turn real for the Dodgers, on March 26 at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks. We have a pretty good general idea of the roster, with a few choices remaining.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto will likely pitch for Japan this Saturday, then once more for the Dodgers in preparation for the regular season. Tyler Glasnow went 2 2/3 innings last Wednesday and starts on Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, possibly this time around the first Dodgers pitcher to last into the fourth inning.

Shohei Ohtani is doing his pitching work on the side while away at the World Baseball Classic, and he’s kind of in his own category, outside the realm of normal starting pitcher progression.

Roki Sasaki is a work in progress, Justin Wrobleski has been sharp in his three games thus far, and Emmet Sheehan is back on the beam after sidelined by illness earlier in camp. River Ryan has looked effective as well in his return from Tommy John surgery.

We know and can acknowledge that opening day is only a snapshot of a short period of a season that lasts over six months, and that several pitchers will be used throughout the year. But for our purposes today, let’s focus on the early part of the season. The Dodgers host the Diamondbacks for three games, take Sunday, March 29 off, then finish the homestand with three games against the Cleveland Guardians from March 30-April 2.

Today’s question is which Dodgers pitchers will start the first five games of the regular season?

WBC Wrap: Team USA defeats Mexico for first time in 20 years

We had a lot of great games Monday but not many upsets.

Tonight, we will have a game thread for the three evening games, which are: Israel/Netherlands, Canada/Puerto Rico and Italy/USA. The thread will post at 5:30 p.m. CT.

Pool A (San Juan):

Colombia 4, Panama 3

Colombia scored four runs in the sixth inning and hung on to beat Panama 4-3.

This game was a pitcher’s duel to start. Panama’s Paolo Espino, who pitched for Panama in the very first World Baseball Classic all the way back in 2006, made his very last start before retirement a good one. Espino threw 4.1 innings and allowed just one hit and no runs. He struck out four and walked no one.

Here are some Espino highlights [VIDEO].

The problem for Espino and Panama was that Colombia’s Adrian Almeida, who pitched in the minors for the Mets and Angels and is in the Mexican League now, was even better. Almeida allowed just one baserunner of over four innings and that was a hit by pitch.

The game was still scoreless in the top of the sixth when Colombia got to Panama reliever Miguel Gómez, who pitched in the Nationals system last year. After Mariners top prospect Michael Arroyo walked and Harold Ramírez singled, Gómez was summoned from the pen and walked the bases loaded.

After a sacrifice fly by the A’s Jordan Diaz, Reynaldo Rodríguez, who has been in the Mexican League since leaving the Twins minor league system in 2016, singled home two [VIDEO].

Rays minor leaguer Daniel Vellojin would single home the fourth run of the sixth inning with one out.

Panama was without a hit until the Yankees’ José Caballero drove one over the left field wall. [VIDEO]

That’s where things stayed until Panama rallied in the eighth inning off former Cubs’ farmhand Yapson Gómez. Dodgers minor leaguer José Ramos, Edmundo Sosa and the Cubs’ Christian Bethancourt hit three-straight two-out singles. Here’s Bethancourt’s single that made it 4-3 [VIDEO].

But that was all there was in this game. Well, not all as tempers boiled when Panama’s Jonathan Arauz got into a scuffle with his manager José Mayorga.

Miguel Amaya was 0 for 2 in this game and was pulled for a pinch runner after he was hit by pitch.

Christian Bethancourt was 1 for 4 with the RBI.

Panama and Colombia both finish pool play at 1-3.

Puerto Rico 4, Cuba 1

Puerto Rico clinches a spot in the single-elimination rounds with a 4-1 win over Cuba.

Puerto Rico loaded the bases in the bottom of the second inning off of former Rangers minor leaguer Julio Robaina. That brought up Martín Maldonado and he emptied the bases in a hurry with a three-run double down the left field line. [VIDEO]

Puerto Rico added on another run in the fifth on a sacrifice fly by Carlos Cortes.

Cuba managed only two hits off of five Puerto Rico pitchers, led by Yankees Triple-A player Elmer Rodríguez. But one of the hitswas this double in the sixth inning by longtime NPB player Alfredo Despaigne. It came off former Phillies pitcher Yacksel Ríos and scored one run. [VIDEO]

Cuba can still advance to the elimination round with a win over Canada on Wednesday. In fact, the winner of that game will go on to the quarterfinals.

Pool B (Houston):

Great Britain 8, Brazil 1

Great Britain avoids finishing last in the group and having to qualify for the next WBC with an 8-1 win over Brazil. Brazil, on the other hand, is relegated down to the qualifying groups.

Both British starter Brendon Beck, a 2021 second-round pick of the Yankees, and Brazilian starter Enzo Sawayama, who plays in the industrial leagues in Japan, held the other team scoreless through four innings.

Brazil actually scored first in this game when catcher Gabriel Do Carmo, who plays in the French (!) League, doubled in a run off of Rays minor leaguer Gary Gill Hill. [VIDEO]

Unfortunately for Brazil, that lead was short-lived as Marlins minor leaguer Ian Lewis Jr. led off the bottom of the fifth with a solo home run [VIDEO].

Gotta love that stupid palace guard hat they have to wear when they hit a home run. It’s one of the cute touches that makes the WBC cool.

Later in the fifth inning, Harry Ford Jr. singled home Trayce Thompson [VIDEO] for the lead.

The third British run that inning came on a Jazz Chisholm Jr. groundout.

Unfortunately, that Do Carmo RBI double would be the only hit that Brazil would get in this game and Great Britain scored in every inning from the fifth on. Cardinals Triple-A player Matt Koperniak had a two-run single in the seventh and Chisholm had another two-run single in the eighth.

Cubs minor leaguer BJ Murray Jr. went 1 for 4 with a double and a run scored for Great Britain.

United States 5, Mexico 3

What was shaping up to be a Team USA romp after they scored five runs in the third inning turned into a tight contest, but the USA hung on for a 5-3 win.

Paul Skenes started for Team USA and he dominated, as Paul Skenes is known to do. Skenes allowed just one hit and one walk over four innings while striking out seven. [VIDEO]

Skenes got some help from this outfield assist from Aaron Judge. [VIDEO]

Judge put Team USA up 2-0 in the bottom of the third with this home run off of former Braves pitcher Jesus Cruz. [VIDEO]

Later in the third, Roman Anthony made it 5-0 on this three-run home run off Cruz. [VIDEO]

But Skenes exited after four innings. Garrett Cleveninger threw one inning before Matthew Boyd entered the game in the sixth. I have some advice for Craig Counsell: Don’t let Boyd pitch against Jarren Duran.

First, Duran hit this home run off of Boyd in the sixth. [VIDEO]

Boyd gave up a second run in the sixth inning but it’s hard to blame him after this bad hop single off the bat of the A’s Joey Meneses. [VIDEO]

Boyd retired Mexico in order in the seventh inning, but he had to face Duran again in the eighth. And Duran went deep again. [VIDEO]

Boyd finished with a line of three runs on five hits over 2.1 innings. He struck out three and walked no one.

But that’s all Mexico would get. And Team USA pitchers benefitted from two great defensive plays by shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. [VIDEO]

Alex Bregman was 0 for 3 with a walk.

Pete Crow-Armstrong did not play in this game.

Mexico can still advance to the next round with a win over Italy.

Pool C (Tokyo):

Japan 9, Czechia 0

This result should not be a surprise to anyone. Japan is a potential winner of this tournament and Czechia is really just beginning its baseball history.

Surprisingly, then, the Czechs kept Japan scoreless through seven innings. But Czechia could manage only two hits through eight, and then Japan’s offense went to work, scoring all nine of their runs.

The two big blows were home runs. Ukyo Shuto hit a three-run homer [VIDEO].

Shuto is an outfielder for the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks.

Later that inning, Munetaka Murakami, who will play this year for the White Sox, hit a grand slam [VIDEO].

Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki did not play in this game.

Samurai Japan completes pool play undefeated at 4-0. They’ll face the runner-up from Pool D in Miami in the quarterfinals on Friday.

Pool D (Miami):

Dominican Republic 10, Israel 1

The Dominican Republic had no problem clinching a trip to the single-elimination rounds with a 10-1 win over Israel.

The Dominican Republic took the lead in the second inning. Guardians minor leaguer Ryan Prager retired the side in order in the first, but he walked three batters in the second inning to load the bases. Then he walked Geraldo Perdomo to force in a run and make it 1-0.

Prager did not walk Fernando Tatis Jr. He probably wishes he had. Here’s the grand slam in English, Spanish and Japanese. [VIDEO]

Oneil Cruz made it 6-0 with a home run in the fourth. [VIDEO]

Team Israel didn’t fold at that point and Spencer Horwitz connected off Brayan Bello in the bottom of the fourth. [VIDEO]

But unfortunately for Israel, that was the only hit they’d get off Bello over five innings. Bello struck out seven. [VIDEO]

Tatis would hit a two-run single in the seventh inning, giving him six RBI on the game.

Venezuela 4, Nicaragua 0

Seven Venezuela pitchers scattered seven hits and they made their five hits count for four runs as Venezuela beat Nicaragua 4-0 and clinched a spot in the quarterfinals.

Venezuela took an early lead when Ronald Acuña Jr. walked to lead off the game. Acuña then stole second base, went to third on a bad throw to second and scored on a Jackson Chourio sacrifice fly.

Acuña then made it 2-0 in the third inning with this solo home run. [VIDEO]

Acuña then made it 3-0 with an RBI single in the fifth. [VIDEO]

Venezuela got their fourth and final run on a sacrifice fly by Wilyer Abreu in the sixth inning.

Where will the Knicks land?

DETROIT, MICHIGAN - MAY 01: Ausar Thompson #9 of the Detroit Pistons defends against Jalen Brunson #11 of the New York Knicks during the fourth quarter in Game Six of the Eastern Conference First Round NBA Playoffs at Little Caesars Arena on May 01, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan.

With last night’s 126–118 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, their second straight defeat, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beating the Philadelphia 76ers 115–101, the cushion the New York Knicks once had in the standings is suddenly very thin. New York now holds just a half-game lead over Cleveland for the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference. The two teams will not see each other again this season, which means the race will be decided over the final 16 games. What looked like a comfortable position just a couple weeks ago is now shaping up to be a tight finish.

The Knicks are not going to have an easy path the rest of the way. Their remaining schedule includes matchups with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, and Boston Celtics, all teams firmly in the playoff picture. Boston has been one of the most complete teams in the league this season and recently got a major boost with the return of their superstar player, Jayson Tatum, who came back from an ACL injury much earlier than expected. Oklahoma City presents arguably the toughest challenge of the group as the defending NBA champions and current top team in the league. And Golden State always remains a threat as long as Stephen Curry laces up, which pair of shoes he decides to wear on any given night.

New York will also face the Indiana Pacers twice before the season ends, a team that has caused them problems with its fast pace and high-powered offense. The Knicks also have tough road games coming up against the Houston Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies. Houston has been a much tougher team at home this season, while Memphis always seems to turn games into a physical grind.

Several Eastern Conference matchups could directly affect playoff positioning. The Knicks still have games remaining against the Toronto Raptors and Charlotte Hornets. Toronto is especially important in the playoff race. Currently sitting in the No. 5 spot, the Raptors remain close enough in the standings that a few wins could quickly tighten things up even further.

Cleveland’s schedule down the stretch looks slightly more manageable. The Cavaliers still have several games against teams near the bottom of the standings, giving them opportunities to gain ground if they take care of business. They do, however, have two remaining matchups against the Orlando Magic, who sit 4.5 games behind the Knicks and are still trying to climb the standings themselves.

The Miami Heat and Magic both face a mixed schedule that includes playoff teams and rebuilding clubs. That means consistency will be the deciding factor for them. Toronto might have the toughest road of the group with several games still remaining against playoff-caliber teams.

What makes the situation interesting is just how tight everything is. The difference between the No. 3 seed and the No. 7 seed is only a handful of games. If the Knicks were to hit a rough stretch, the standings could shift quickly. The Heat currently sit in seventh place, but in a race this close, a couple of wins or losses can change the entire picture almost overnight.

For the Knicks, the mission is simple. Take care of business and hold their ground. The final 16 games are going to feel a lot like playoff basketball, and every result is going to matter. If New York can navigate a schedule filled with contenders and keep stacking wins, it will stay right where it wants to be when the postseason arrives. If not, the Eastern Conference race could get even more chaotic before the regular season comes to a close.

Mariners Prospect Rankings #12, OF Yorger Bautista

Last January’s premiere signing out of Venezuela, Bautista entered the system with high praise amongst scouts familiar with his game. Lauded as perhaps the highest ceiling player in the entire class, Bautista lay claim to potentially plus power, 70-grade run times, and a howitzer of an arm in the outfield. The only real thing missing from his game, however, is perhaps the most important tool of them all: bat-to-ball. Though the surface numbers aren’t necessarily jumping off the page after his first stint in the DSL, defining success is crucial when evaluating a player as young and unpolished as he is. Thanks to his immense skillset and nearly limitless potential, we’ve put him in a tier above our previous entries, marking the first of what is a healthy “middle” tier of prospect found in the Seattle system.

Bautista is a pure ceiling play as a prospect. The tools, while outrageously loud at times, are unrefined and need fine tuning to be maximized in game. Posting a slash line of .223/.326/.404 in his debut season, Yorger had a solid, if unspectacular start to his professional career. He managed to pop seven homers across ~200 PA and stole ten bags without getting caught, but a strikeout rate just a hair under 30% is a wart that’s hard to overlook right now, particularly with his relatively average walk rates. It’s not unheard of to see a player struggle with contact in the DSL and find success down the road (Lazaro Montes struck out over 33% of the time in his first season in the DSL), but it’s definitely an uphill battle. The tools are great to have, but if he can’t make enough contact to get to them, they’re something of a moot point.

A year one with a high strikeout rate was to be expected from the tooled up outfielder. Though it would have been great to see it lower than 30%, the then 17 year old was never going to be a contact machine in his first taste of pro ball and fell into line with what was generally expected. He didn’t make a huge leap offensively, but his performance mirroring the scouting consensus makes sense for a player brand new to professional development programs and keeps him in the picture prospect-wise. Whether he makes it stateside this year or takes another season in the DSL, some positive progression toward contact is a major box he’ll need to check in 2026. It’s impossible to call an age 18 season “make or break”, but if the hit tool stalls and looks roughly the same as it did last year, adjustments to his pedigree as a prospect are inevitable.

Keep an eye on the DSL this season; If Yorger hangs around for another season (I’d wager he’d start in the ACL, but it’s probably pretty close to a toss up), he’d join newcomers Gregory Pio and Juan Rijo in what could be the most fleshed-out lineup the DSL team has had in years.
