Brewers' Jesus Made Rises To No. 1 In New MLB Top-50 Prospect Rankings

May 21, 2026 10:57 AM

With nearly two months of the 2026 season complete, 22 players from the preseason MLB top 100 prospect list have graduated from eligibility, reshuffling the rankings ahead of what figures to be an active trade deadline season.

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Jesus Made, 19, moves to the top spot after posting 90th percentile exit velocities that rank among big league averages despite playing in Double-A. His ability to control the strike zone and his defensive profile stand out, though scouts note his swing produces insufficient lift to translate his raw power into home run totals. If that changes in the second half, a significant ranking jump could follow.

Among the most notable movers is Boston Red Sox shortstop Franklin Arias, who climbs from 36th to sixth after posting improved exit velocity and lift rates while maintaining contact. Athletics shortstop Leo De Vries jumps to second after his profile helped pry All-Star closer Mason Miller from Oakland. Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Seth Hernandez rises from 49th to seventh after slider and fastball shape improvements unlocked his ceiling.

Notable graduates from the list include the previous top two prospects, Konnor Griffin and Kevin McGonigle, along with Samuel Basallo, JJ Wetherholt, Bubba Chandler, Carson Benge, Andrew Painter, and Carson Williams, among others.

Seven players currently on active big league rosters remain eligible but could graduate within weeks.

Cal Raleigh On IL With Oblique Strain Two Days After Breaking Slump

May 14, 2026 3:03 PM

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh has been placed on the injured list with a right oblique strain ahead of Thursday's series finale against the Houston Astros. The timeline for his return remains unclear pending imaging results.

The injury arrives just 48 hours after Raleigh broke a 0-for-38 skid, a career-worst stretch, with a hit in the seventh inning of Seattle's 10-2 win Tuesday. He played through visible discomfort Wednesday before being pulled late in the game.

"He had to change directions, and it kind of grabbed on him there," manager Dan Wilson told reporters at Daikin Park. "Something like that makes it tricky. It kind of jumps up at you a little bit, and you realize that it's time to take a step back and get fully healthy."

This marks Raleigh's first IL stint since his July 2021 debut. The 29-year-old has appeared in 573 games and logged 4,747 1/3 innings behind the plate, more than any other American League catcher in that span. Only Philadelphia's J.T. Realmuto and the Dodgers' Will Smith have caught more innings MLB-wide since 2021.

Raleigh, last season's AL MVP runner-up, entered 2026 batting .161 with seven home runs and 18 RBIs on a Mariners club expected to contend for a second straight AL West title.

Veteran backstop Mitch Garver is expected to handle the bulk of catching duties. Journeyman Jhonny Pereda was added to the roster to provide depth. Garver has hit .167/.344/.188 across 20 games this season, his third in Seattle.

"He's got a chance to get himself back, get healthy and come back with a lot of the season left," Wilson said.

The Oakland Athletics (11-11) head to the Pacific Northwest this Monday, April 20, to face the Seattle Mariners (10-13) in a critical early-season AL West series. Oakland enters the contest surprisingly atop the division standings, looking to maintain their momentum on the road. The Mariners return home to T-Mobile Park where they have been formidable, boasting a 9-5 record in front of their home fans.

Oakland’s offense has been ignited by catcher Shea Langeliers, who leads the club with 6 home runs and a .310 average. He is joined by veteran Max Muncy and rookie Nick Kurtz in a lineup that has proven dangerous when hitting for power. Seattle counters with a balanced attack led by Luke Raley and Randy Arozarena, the latter of whom has been a consistent multi-hit threat. Catch every pitch and stolen base live on Fubo.

The pitching duel features a battle of young right-handers. The Athletics turn to J.T. Ginn (0-0), who has been solid with a 3.31 ERA through his initial outings. He faces Mariners' Emerson Hancock (2-1), who has been sensational with a 2.28 ERA and a microscopic 0.76 WHIP. You can witness this divisional clash streaming live on Fubo.

The key storyline for Oakland is their power surge; the A's are 5-1 this season when hitting at least two home runs.

The Houston Astros (6-10) enter Monday afternoon in a state of desperation, facing the prospect of a four-game series sweep at the hands of the Seattle Mariners (7-9). Houston's early 2026 campaign has been defined by a 7-game road losing streak and a pitching staff ravaged by injuries. Seattle, meanwhile, has found its footing at T-Mobile Park, leaning on a resilient rotation and a 3-game winning streak to climb back toward .500.

Expect a heavy-duty mound performance from Seattle’s George Kirby, whose elite command (0.90 WHIP) has been a nightmare for opponents. Houston counters with Mike Burrows, who is looking to settle in after a rocky start to the month. Despite their record, the Astros remain dangerous with Yordan Alvarez anchoring a lineup that still possesses elite power. Catch every high-stakes inning live on Fubo.

The individual matchups center on Kirby’s ability to navigate Houston’s veteran core. While the Astros have struggled to score recently, Alvarez and Jose Altuve have historically performed well in high-leverage situations. For Seattle, Brendan Donovan has been a spark plug at the top of the order, creating constant pressure on Houston’s thin rotation. You can witness this AL West clash streaming live on Fubo.

The defining storyline for Houston is their injury report, which reads like an All-Star roster. With Hunter Brown and Cristian Javier sidelined, the bullpen has been forced into high-usage scenarios early. Conversely, the Mariners are looking to capitalize on this vulnerability to leapfrog Houston in the division standings. Fubo is your home for the complete broadcast.

MLB Sets Record Average Salary Of $5.34M, Mets Lead Payroll Again

Apr 9, 2026 10:58 AM

Major League Baseball's average salary climbed 3.4% to a record $5.34 million on Opening Day, according to an Associated Press study, with the New York Mets topping league payrolls for the fourth consecutive year at $352.2 million.

Mets outfielder Juan Soto remains the sport's highest-paid player for the second straight season at $61.9 million annually, placing him among the highest-compensated athletes across all major North American professional sports. New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger ranks second at $42.5 million, followed by Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler and Mets third baseman Bo Bichette, who are tied at $42 million. Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. sits fifth at $40.2 million, just ahead of Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge at $40 million.

Across sports, the top of the market is converging. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott carries an average annual value of approximately $60 million in the NFL, while Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry earns $59.6 million in the NBA this season, putting all three leagues within a narrow range at the very top of the pay scale.

The broader salary picture, however, differs considerably by sport. The NBA's average salary for roster players sits just under $14 million during the 2025-26 season, driven by smaller rosters that concentrate league revenue among fewer players. The NFL average was approximately $3.2 million in 2025, reflecting the league's significantly larger rosters. MLB's $5.34 million average falls between the two, though roster sizes in baseball and football are substantially larger than in basketball.

The Los Angeles Dodgers ranked second in MLB payroll at $316.6 million, down slightly from $319.5 million last year. Their figure would rise to $395.2 million without present-value discounting applied to deferred contracts for nine players.

MLB's average salary has grown 28 percent under the current five-year collective bargaining agreement, which expires in December, an average annual increase of 5.6%. Six clubs carried payrolls above $250 million, up from four a year ago, while eight teams fell below $100 million, an increase from five.

The Detroit Tigers posted the largest year-over-year spending increase at $64.2 million, reaching $206.7 million after signing pitcher Framber Valdez and giving a significant raise to ace Tarik Skubal through arbitration. The Minnesota Twins recorded the steepest decline, slashing $46.3 million from its Opening Day payroll to settle at $96.5 million.

The Cleveland Guardians were the MLB's lowest-spending team at $62.3 million, less than one-fifth of the Mets' total outlay.

AL West tensions flare this Monday, April 6, as the Seattle Mariners travel to Arlington to face the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field. The Mariners (4-6) are looking to climb out of an early-season hole after a slow start on the road, while the Rangers (4-5) are desperate to end a four-game skid and secure their first home win of the 2026 campaign. 

Expect a premier pitching duel as two of the league's most dominant right-handers take the mound. The Mariners are pinning their hopes on Logan Gilbert, while the Rangers counter with perennial ace Jacob deGrom. Despite early-season ERA fluctuations, both starters possess the "swing-and-miss" stuff that can neutralize even the most potent lineups. Catch every inning and every highlight live on Fubo. 

The individual matchups in this series are electric. Seattle's offense features the superstar power of Julio Rodríguez and the defensive reliability of J.P. Crawford. Texas counters with a rejuvenated core led by Corey Seager and Brandon Nimmo, who has been on a tear with a .389 batting average to start the season. With the division race already tightening up, these early head-to-head games are critical.

The pitching duel features Seattle's Logan Gilbert (0-1, 6.75 ERA) making the start, while the Rangers turn to Jacob deGrom (0-0, 5.79 ERA) to right the ship. You can witness this AL West battle streaming live on Fubo.

Texas will need to overcome a mounting injury list, particularly in their rotation, to maintain pace in the AL West. Meanwhile, the Mariners will look to exploit a Rangers bullpen that has struggled for consistency during their recent losing streak. With the roof likely closed at Globe Life Field, conditions will be perfect for a high-intensity clash. Fubo is your home for the complete broadcast.

The American League power struggle shifts to the Pacific Northwest this Monday as the New York Yankees open a high-stakes three-game series against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park. New York (3-0) arrives in Seattle firing on all cylinders after a dominant opening-week sweep, while the Mariners (2-2) look to protect their home turf after a hard-fought split against Cleveland. With both teams projected as AL contenders for the 2026 postseason, this early-season clash serves as a vital measuring stick. Catch the action live on Sling.

Tonight's series opener features a fascinating pitching matchup between Mariners ace Luis Castillo and Yankees left-hander Ryan Weathers. The Yankees’ offense has been relentless early on, led by the usual power of Aaron Judge and a resurgent Giancarlo Stanton. However, Seattle’s pitching staff remains one of the most disciplined in the majors, ranking in the top five for strikeouts per nine innings last season. The Mariners will rely on the star power of Julio Rodríguez and the elite power-hitting of catcher Cal Raleigh to break through New York's rotation. You can witness this AL showdown streaming live on Sling.

Seattle’s home-field advantage is significant, as the team posted one of the best home records in the AL last year. They’ll need that energy to combat a Yankees lineup that led MLB in home runs and slugging percentage during the 2025 campaign. All eyes will be on Luis Castillo, who recorded six strikeouts in his lone outing against the Bronx Bombers last year. For the Yankees, the priority is navigating a mounting injury list that currently includes Gerrit Cole and Anthony Volpe. This Monday night battle is a must-watch for baseball fans, and Sling is your home for the full broadcast.

The lights of T-Mobile Park shine bright this Thursday as the Cleveland Guardians visit the Seattle Mariners for a star-studded 2026 Opening Day. While the NCAA Tournament is reaching its fever pitch, the Emerald City is focused on the diamond as two defending division champions go head-to-head to start the year. Fans can catch every strikeout and home run of this national broadcast live on Sling TV.

This Opening Day encounter features two of the game’s premier young right-handers. The Mariners hand the ball to Logan Gilbert, who is looking to re-establish his workhorse status after a 2025 campaign where he posted a sharp 3.44 ERA despite a mid-season injury. Conversely, the Guardians counter with Tanner Hayes Bibee, who finally gets his Opening Day moment after being scratched from last year's opener due to illness. Bibee set a career-high with 182.1 innings in 2025 and is the cornerstone of a Cleveland staff looking to defend its AL Central crown. As Seattle debuts a lineup featuring 2025 Trade Deadline acquisition Josh Naylor (now back on a massive free-agent deal) and leadoff man Brendan Donovan, the Guardians lean on the legendary José Ramírez to spark a high-contact offense. You can witness this elite tactical duel live on Sling TV.

The 2026 Mariners enter the season with one of the most explosive lineups in baseball, anchored by Cal Raleigh, who is coming off a staggering 60-home run 2025 season. He is flanked by face-of-the-franchise Julio Rodríguez and speedster Randy Arozarena. For the Guardians, success hinges on a blend of veteran power from Rhys Hoskins and the arrival of top prospect Chase DeLauter. With two elite bullpens ready to bridge the gap to closers Andrés Muñoz and Cade Smith, this 10:10 PM ET matchup is the premier event of the late-night slate.

Guardians vs. Mariners Betting Odds & Predictions

The Mariners enter as solid home favorites due to their offensive firepower and home-field advantage, though the Guardians have been one of the most profitable road underdogs over the last year.

Betting LineMariners -1.5
Over/Under6.5 Runs
MoneylineSEA -180 | CLE +152

Prediction: Logan Gilbert has been untouchable at T-Mobile Park when healthy, and Cleveland's high-contact approach may struggle against his high-velocity stuff early in the year. While Bibee will keep it close, the Mariners' power advantage is too significant to ignore. Final Score: Mariners 4, Guardians 2.

Key Probable Pitchers

The spotlight is on two of the AL's best arms. For the Mariners, Logan Gilbert looks to start a Cy Young-caliber campaign. For the Guardians, Tanner Bibee officially takes the mantle as the club's ace in a venue where he has historically thrived.

The Mariners feature a power core that redefined the franchise in 2025. Cal Raleigh became just the second catcher in history to hit 60 homers, while Julio Rodríguez remains a dual threat on the basepaths and in the box.

Brewers, Mariners Lead Yahoo's 2026 MLB Young Talent Power Rankings

Mar 24, 2026 11:53 AM

Yahoo Sports has released its annual 26-and-under organizational power rankings, evaluating all 30 MLB clubs on their young major league contributors and upper-level prospects. The Milwaukee Brewers claimed the top spot with a score of 22 out of 30, while the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres shared the bottom at nine points.

The rankings weight productive young big leaguers more heavily than unproven minor leaguers, with scores distributed across four categories: young MLB hitters, young MLB pitchers, prospect hitters, and prospect pitchers.

Milwaukee earned the crown behind outfielder Jackson Chourio, a deep young pitching staff led by Jacob Misiorowski and Quinn Priester, and a loaded prospect pool headlined by shortstop Jesus Made and catcher Jeferson Quero.

The Seattle Mariners ranked second at 21 points, driven by outfielder Julio Rodriguez and right-hander Bryan Woo. The Pittsburgh Pirates placed third at 18 points, earning a perfect 10-out-of-10 score for young MLB pitchers anchored by Paul Skenes.

The Boston Red Sox suffered the sharpest drop in this cycle, falling from first in 2025 to 11th. Despite an impressive young hitting core featuring Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer, Boston's pitching depth dragged its overall score to 16.

The Baltimore Orioles dropped from second to seventh despite Gunnar Henderson's continued emergence. Their young pitching staff scored just one out of ten, reflecting significant rotation concerns.

San Diego's fall from 15th to 29th was equally dramatic. The Padres' young core is nearly entirely dependent on outfielder Jackson Merrill, with limited depth elsewhere.

The Kansas City Royals earned a perfect 10-out-of-10 for young MLB hitters, powered by Bobby Witt Jr., yet ranked ninth overall due to thin pitching across both categories.

Full 26-And-Under Rankings:

1. Milwaukee Brewers: 22/30
