  1. This was a mailbag question at MLBTR. Someone asked if there is any hope that Buxton will roam the outfield of Truist Park. Dierkes response was: Buxton, who has a full NTC and 10/5 rights, has been adamant about being a Twin for life and stated that publicly many times. Buxton did express frustration that the Twins themselves didn't shut down trade rumors. He went on to say that Buxton "may" listen on teams if Ryan and Jeffers are traded (this was written before Jeffers got hurt). Of course, Buxton would be a good fit for the Braves, but he would also help a myriad of other teams. The overall tone of Dierkes response is that it's highly unlikely Buxton moves anywhere. Dierkes didn't suggest any trades to any team. All MLBTR writers, within the past 6 months, have taken the stance that the likelihood of a Buxton trade is very small.
  2. Daiber De Los Santos apparently was suspended. Do we know why yet? He was off to a pretty nice start to the FCL season.
  3. Not necessarily...UCL thumb injuries typically return to action in 8 weeks. That would put him back in action sometime around end of July. This study showed a mean return at 8 weeks with no meaningful differences in performance. However, that doesn't account if the Twins will call him up or not though so your statement may still be correct. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5757434/ Edit: https://www.espn.com/fantasy/baseball/story/_/id/19513187/mlb-mike-trout-thumb-procedure-recovery-process This is another article showing Andrelton Simmons and Mike Trout undergoing UCL surgery in their thumb. It states a return to unrestricted baseball activities is possible within 4 weeks.
  4. Injury update on ERod is he tore the UCL in his thumb and is set for surgery this week. Initial MRI showed only a sprain due to swelling, but second MRI showed torn UCL.
  5. I was watching as well. He got hit flush by a 94mph fastball. I think a big reason he stayed in the game is he was only running, but the Saints only had 1 guy on the bench and that was David Banuelos. Hoping it's only a bruise but it sounded brutal.
  6. Dan Hayes just reported that Lewis has been optioned to AAA
  7. As others have said no we won't face Miz. He pitched yesterday, but was removed while warming up for the 8th inning due to quad cramps.
  8. I believe the Marlins are on the hook for most of his salary and the Reds will only have to pay a prorated league minimum salary. FWIW- The Reds rotation is banged up. Greene and Williamson are on the 60 day-IL. Lowder is on the 15-day IL. Singer will probably need an IL stint. Their in-house options (Petty, Franco, and Aguiar) are all getting beat up at AAA.
  9. Liam Hendrichs signed a minor league deal with the Cubs: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/05/cubs-sign-liam-hendriks.html Chris Paddack to Reds: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/05/reds-to-sign-chris-paddack.html
  10. Lou Trivino signed with the Orioles yesterday and pitched for them last night. His line was 0.2IP, 6ER, 4H, 3BB, 0K. Rough first outing with them...
  11. TOS describes a wide range of nerve related conditions. Wheeler required surgery for TOS. Festa's TOS was on the "milder end" and thought it could be treated with Botox injections. However, it was reported earlier this year that the shoulder issue he is currently facing is different than TOS. Only time will tell.
  12. I am not sure it was reported here, but Festa suffered another setback. He reported more shoulder discomfort after facing live hitters Saturday. This really isn't good news for him and his hopes for the 2026 season.
  13. Jeff Passan sits down with John Schneider and Dave Roberts to discuss the 2025 World Series. If you are interested, I would suggest listening to this, it's fantastic. One thing that John Schneider said was during the 18 inning game 3 marathon, they intentionally walked Ohtani 4 times. It was partly due to the Jays not wanting Ohtani to beat them with his bat in extra innings, but also they wanted to tire him out because he was pitching the next day...and Roberts confirmed that it worked. Even after IVs etc..., Ohtani was still cramping up. I love the games within the games. Edit: Louie Varland gets wonderful compliments from both Schneider and Roberts.
  14. Giolito had a decent year last year. He started 26g and finished with 145 IP, 3.41 ERA, 4.17 FIP, 1.29 WHIP, 9% BB rate, 20% K rate. He turned down his $19M mutual option for 2026. He was thinking he would get a longer deal or more money. Obviously, that hasn't turned out to be the case. MLBTR wrote an article on him. He is quoted saying "I just want to play for close to what my value is"...That would lead you to believe the reason he hasn't signed is because he thinks he is worth more than his $19M option and no team wanted to pay that. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/04/lucas-giolito-throwing-roughly-75-pitches-in-side-sessions.html
