What Will Brennan's Departure Means for the Cleveland Guardians

Will Brennan was a perfect example of the Guardians turning prospects into big leaguers, but following a strugglesome 2025 filled with injuries, the two sides parted ways this past offseason.

It's a sad day for those who love prospects turned big-leaguers.

Following an illustrious minor league career, Cleveland Guardians outfielder Will Brennan never quite panned out with the major league roster. Following a 2025 campaign that was riddled by injuries, Brennan and the Guardians parted ways.

And on Sunday, Feb. 15, it was officially announced Brennan found a new team to join. He signed a one-year, major league contract with the San Francisco Giants.

So, what does this mean for the Guardians, and why did Brennan and Cleveland not reunite?

The Guardians Moving On

This move shouldn't be terribly surprising on paper.

When evaluating the Guardians' roster heading into 2026, they don't have much room for questionable, aging outfielders. They still have one in Nolan Jones, who they made sure to lock down for at least one more season, but other than him, the rest of the group consists of young guys getting a chance to show their worth.

The Opening Day lineup is expected to see two of either prospects Chase DeLauter and George Valera, or the veteran Jones, sporting the outfield positions next to Steven Kwan in left field. They also have David Fry and CJ Kayfus, both of whom can spend time in the outfield.

The front office has talked all offseason about how they want to prioritize the prospects in 2026. If they had resigned Brennan, it would've contradicted that sentiment and instead crowded the position group.

Brennan was a simple case of injuries derailing any sort of comeback in Cleveland; as if he had been healthy in 2025, he could've earned another year with the club.

Brennan's Future

Getting a fresh start is always good for a player like Brennan.

Following a tough 2025 season where he just couldn't get back out onto the diamond, getting healthy and beginning with a new team should allow him to regain his confidence.

Back in 2024, he was one of the Guardians' better outfielders, recording a slashing line of .264/.309/.388 for an OPS of .697. Before dealing with other injury problems that season, he slashed .256/.314/.415, showing that when healthy, he was above-average in effectiveness at the plate.

Yes, his power was never really there, but he consistently found a way to impact games with clutch knocks and the ability to get on base. He very rarely struck out, as through over 350 plate appearances, he struck out just 48 times and walked 19.

If he's able to become the Giants' go-to pitch-eater and start to develop a bit more reliability in the power department, he has a chance to carve out a nice role for himself in MLB.

A perfect example of a fresh start paying off is Jones in Colorado, where he developed into one of the most productive hitters on the roster.

The focus shifts to Brennan, and whether he can turn a change of scenery into a resurgence rather than the beginning of a downward trend in his career.

For now, the Guardians will continue to look for the next Brennan-type story: a player who lights it up in the minors, draws eyes and earns a promotion. This time, though, the team will hope the player lasts a bit longer and ends up becoming a staple in the navy blue and red.

Padres' Manny Machado praises team's Saturday signings

By Zachary Cariola | Last updated Feb 15, 2026 12:07 PM ET

he San Diego Padres had a busy Valentine’s Day, and it had nothing to do with hearts, roses or chocolate candies.

Padres president of baseball operations and general manager A.J. Preller was busy dishing out contracts, signing veterans Nick Castellanos, Griffin Canning and German Marquez to one-year contracts to deepen the roster.

Preller, who has been the Padres president of baseball operations and general manager since 2021, is in the last year of his contract with the team and has not yet received an extension. The Padres are for sale (listed for $3 billion), which could be why Preller has not received an extension.

However, after adding all this depth, Preller received a healthy bit of praise from third baseman Manny Machado.

"I mean, talk about getting a $20 million player [Castellanos] for pennies on the dollar," Machado said, via reporter Marty Caswell. "I think that kind of deserves, deserves like extension for A.J. [Preller], you know, with, you know, payroll flexibility, and, you know, getting a $20 million player for nothing, you know, I think that's kind of a win, win for everybody here in this clubhouse."

Machado and Castellanos have known each other since they were kids growing up in Miami, Fla., which could make for an interesting pairing and help in the clubhouse. Castellanos had faced harsh criticism for his attitude and behavior while with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Manny Machado’s relationship with Nick Castellanos could help get the most out of him
Known as the de facto leader of the Padres, Machado isn’t afraid to speak his mind and won’t allow what is being alleged against Castellanos (drinking a beer in the dugout) to fly. Having that relationship that spans back to their childhood brings with it a level of respect that should help the Padres succeed.

Castellanos already received a warm welcome from Padres center fielder Jackson Merrill, saying he’s "excited to see Castellanos’s vibe."

I mean, Nick [Castellanos] can be himself, and he can do whatever he wants in our clubhouse," Merrill said, via Caswell. "That's, that's his personal choice. I think what he did in the other clubhouse [Philadelphia] has nothing to do with us, and I don't think it's going to carry over either. I think he's going to come in here and we're all going to look at him as a new human being. You know, I don't really care or dive into the deep like what he did or over there, because I was the Phillies and won the San Diego Padres. So you know, I'm just happy to have him in a new clubhouse, see his vibe and see what he does to help us [the Padres]."

With a change of scenery, a welcoming environment and a familiar face in Machado, it’s not out of the question that Castellanos returns to being the All-Star and MVP candidate he once was.

Tigers' Latest Moves Helped Separate Themselves from A.L. Central Rivals

The Detroit Tigers are making a strong case for being one of the best teams in the American League.

Zion Trammel

2 hours ago

The easiest path to playing postseason baseball is winning the division. For the Detroit Tigers, claiming the A.L. Central crown has become a challenging task over the last several years. Since their divisional dominance from 2011 to 2014, Detroit has seen every other team win the division except themselves.

If you like our content, choose Sports Illustrated as a preferred source on Google.

The Tigers' mid-summer domination in 2025 gave them a 15-game lead on their division rivals. That all came crashing down as the Cleveland Guardians swooped in and won the division. That late-season collapse got masked over a Wild Card series win over Cleveland, but fans don't want to see that happen again.

However, the front office has made strides late in the offseason to ensure the Tigers have another great chance at winning the division.

The offseason moved slowly for plenty of teams, but this was especially the case in the A.L. Central. The Guardians' only notable acquisition was relief pitcher Shawn Armstrong, while the Kansas City Royals acquired Matt Strahm in a trade and signed outfielder Lane Thomas.

Instead, the Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox have been active this winter. Victor Caratini, Josh Bell, and Taylor Rogers highlight the Twins' offseason, and the White Sox have been surprisingly aggressive, signing Munetaka Murakami, Seranthony Dominguez, and trading for Jordan Hicks.

However, the Tigers have separated themselves from the rest of the division. On paper, Detroit had the most talented roster, and by adding Framber Valdez and Justin Verlander, they've become even better. They possess an elite starting rotation, a strong backend of the bullpen, and a potent offense looking for a resurgence.

Expectations for Tigers Have Risen Exponentially

Making the expensive move for Valdez was necessary. The window to compete at a high level is wide open for the Tigers. They have a dynamic duo at the starting rotation that can win games in October. That means the pressure has mounted on the offense.

The one critique that can be made of the front office this winter is that they came up empty-handed on acquiring a bat that can contribute in a meaningful way. Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson, and Kerry Carpenter will have to step up and spearhead the offense.

With the additions of Verlander, Valdez, and Kenley Jansen, Detroit can go toe-to-toe with anyone in the league. Anything short of a division crown or an ALCS appearance would be a disappointment. The Tigers have all the pieces surrounding a generational starting pitcher, and now is the time to go win meaningful games.

The Sophomore Bump: Jac Caglianone, Cam Smith, and Matt Shaw Could Define 2026

These three players enter year two positioned to provide an enormous impact for their respective ball clubs.

By Shaan Donohue

February 19, 2026

Baseball loves a cautionary tale. The “sophomore slump” has long been treated as an inevitability — pitchers adjust, weaknesses are exposed, and last year’s breakout darling suddenly looks ordinary.

But development isn’t linear, and for every step backward, there are players who make a second-year leap that reshapes not only their trajectory, but their team’s season.

In 2026, several contenders are quietly depending on exactly that kind of jump. Not from established stars, but from second-year players whose rookie seasons revealed both flaws and tantalizing upside. If the game slows down, the approach tightens, or the role clarifies, these players have the tools to swing playoff races.

Jac Caglianone, Cam Smith, and Matt Shaw arrived in the majors under very different circumstances, yet all three enter year two positioned to provide something their teams desperately need — impact beyond expectations.

A sophomore slump would be survivable. A sophomore bump could be season-defining.

Rookie Season

Jac Caglianone’s first full professional season was a tale of two levels. The sixth overall pick in 2024 tore through Double-A and Triple-A to open 2025, forcing a call-up while learning a new defensive home in right field after being drafted as a first baseman. Once in the majors, however, his expansive approach caught up to him.

Despite some of the worst batted-ball luck in baseball, the underlying issue wasn’t fortune — it was swing decisions. Caglianone ran a 38% chase rate, frequently putting himself in disadvantageous counts and preventing him from getting his “A” swing off.

Already prone to ground balls due to a relatively flat bat path, his quality of contact deteriorated further when he expanded the zone. The result was a debut that muted some of the most prodigious raw power Statcast has ever measured.

Why There’s Reason to Believe in More Production in 2026

Caglianone’s approach currently grades out near the bottom of the scale, but the rest of the offensive toolkit remains intact. He pairs 80-grade raw power with above-average bat-to-ball skills — a combination that gives him a higher offensive floor than typical all-or-nothing sluggers.

Context matters. He spent the season learning a new defensive position, managing an injury, and facing the steepest jump in competition — a perfect storm for his worst tendencies to be amplified. When he returned to Triple-A, he resumed torching baseballs, reinforcing that the adjustments ahead are about major-league decision-making, not underlying ability.

Encouragingly, refining swing decisions is generally more attainable than improving contact ability. If Caglianone simply normalizes his chase rate and experiences neutral batted-ball luck, he projects as a league-average hitter. If the game slows down and he begins consistently accessing his top-end swing, there is legitimate All-Star upside.

What a Breakout Would Mean for the Royals

Kansas City’s lineup still revolves around Bobby Witt Jr., and the club has been searching for a long-term middle-of-the-order partner to maximize his prime.

Vinny Pasquantino has flashed that capability, and Salvador Perez continues to provide intermittent protection, but Caglianone represents something different: a potential impact bat with six years of team control aligned with Witt’s competitive window.

Whether he remains in the outfield long term is secondary. If Caglianone unlocks even a portion of his raw power at the major-league level, he could transform the lineup from top-heavy to dangerous, forcing opponents to pitch to Witt and stabilizing Kansas City’s run production.

For a Royals team with playoff aspirations, his development could be the swing factor between fringe contention and a legitimate October push.

Padres’ Triston McKenzie accomplishes feat vs. Dodgers he hadn’t reached since 2020

Padres pitcher Triston McKenzie accomplished something on Sunday that he had not previously done since the 2020 regular season.

By Joey Mistretta

Feb 22, 2026 at 9:43 PM ET

The San Diego Padres signed Triston McKenzie this past offseason in a move that was overlooked for the most part. McKenzie is currently in spring training as a non-roster invitee. The former Cleveland Guardians top prospect made his 2026 spring training debut on Sunday in a 5-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. His final numbers were far from ideal — four earned runs over 0.2 innings of work — but McKenzie accomplished a feat he had not previously reached since 2020, per Codify.

McKenzie approached 99 MPH with his heater on Sunday. According to Codify, he had not thrown a fastball over 96 MPH in a regular season game since the 2020 campaign.

McKenzie approached 99 MPH with his heater on Sunday. According to Codify, he had not thrown a fastball over 96 MPH in a regular season game since the 2020 campaign.

McKenzie needs to develop better command of his pitches. He is looking for all-around consistency on the mound. There is a reason he was once considered to be a top prospect, though. McKenzie has what it takes to find success at the big league level, he just needs to put it all together.

The starting pitcher has displayed his potential in the past. In 2022, he pitched to a 2.96 ERA across 31 appearances with Cleveland. He has been unable to find success since the '22 season, but perhaps McKenzie's velocity increase will allow him to get back on track with San Diego.

The Padres won't give up on him yet, but Triston McKenzie will need to pitch to better overall results moving forward in spring training regardless of how hard he's throwing his fastball.

4 earned runs in less than 1 inning. Decided he would not do arm surgery and lost his career.

I certainly hope McKenzie can get back on track. A good guy with great talent. But it's looking unlikely

HOFer Thome eyeing Draft prospects for White Sox ... including his own son

1:44 PM CST

Scott Merkin

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Jim Thome has viewed the MLB Draft from several different angles.

In 1989, Thome was selected by Cleveland in the 13th round out of Illinois Central College in East Peoria, Ill. He went on to hit 612 home runs with 1,699 RBIs and a career .956 OPS in 22 seasons, being voted into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot in 2018.

As a current special assistant to White Sox general manager Chris Getz, Thome provides valuable and knowledgeable eyes on prospects through his scouting, including a trip to UCLA last weekend to see Roch Cholowsky, ranked by MLB Pipeline as the top prospect for the 2026 Draft. But the most important present Draft relation for Thome has to do with his son, Landon, a talented senior infielder at Nazareth Academy in La Grange Park, Ill.

Landon is ranked as the No. 42 prospect for the 2026 Draft.

“It could happen soon,” Thome told MLB.com in a recent interview on his son joining the professional baseball ranks. “It’s a joy as a father to watch him since he’s been six years old to play. And he keeps improving, he keeps getting better. As a dad, I’ve had a front-row seat. Coach [Lee] Milano there at Naz has given me an opportunity to be around, and not only for Landon, but [to] help all those kids.






“They want to learn, they want the input, and more importantly to build their confidence. At that age level, [with] baseball, you start to learn the game, and you start to kind of understand the ups and downs of the game. But being around it and offering good input I think has been so much fun.”

There’s a chance the younger Thome could be a Draft target of the White Sox, although there are still weeks and months for all the teams to work through that process. Chicago has the top overall pick in the Draft, stemming from an exciting moment at the Winter Meetings when they won the Lottery.

For those who don’t know about the 1-1 potential of Cholowsky … let’s be honest: Even the most casual of White Sox fans have gotten a little bit juiced about adding a player of his ilk. Thome liked what he saw at Jackie Robinson Field.

“Oh yeah. I think he’s a nice player. He has a really nice offensive skill set,” Thome said of Cholowsky. “As our group will continue to do our work, we’ll continue to do our homework. The best part for me personally -- going out and watching players like Roch, guys that are going to enter the Draft -- is we’ve got some really good baseball guys that are watching and giving information.

“Hopefully when that time comes in July, we can supply the information and make a really good choice. And that’s the fun of this. I’ve always said this: To go in and sit in the Draft room and sit around, you are making dreams come true. You really are. That’s the fun of the amateur level. Whether it’s high school or college, is to see these kids really working hard, trying to pursue their dreams.”

Detroit Tigers Predicted To Trade for Former Cy Young Award Winner

Scott Roche

Feb 28, 2026

When the dust settled on the offseason, one team that made some late moves was the Detroit Tigers. After a relatively quiet offseason, the Tigers struck by adding a pair of veteran free agent pitchers.

First, Detroit signed Framber Valdez, a former left-hander for the Houston Astros. They then brought back veteran right-hander Justin Verlander to solidify their rotation. One thing the Tigers failed to do was secure a long-term deal with left-hander Tarik Skubal. However, with Skubal and Valdez at the top of the rotation, it’s one of the top 1-2 punches in the American League.

You have to think that at some point, they will get a deal done. They went to arbitration this offseason, where Skubal won his case to get $32 million in 2026 after the club offered just $19 million. Detroit is expected to be one of the top AL contenders, and they were predicted to make a trade this season that would make them the team to beat in October for manager A.J. Hinch.

Detroit Tigers Predicted to Trade for Sandy Alcantara

One team that has pitching and wheeling and dealing this offseason was the Miami Marlins. They traded right-hander Edward Cabrera to the Chicago Cubs and Ryan Weathers to the New York Yankees. The Marlins have one pitcher that teams still covet, right-hander Sandy Alcantara. Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report predicted that the Tigers will trade for the former Cy Young Award winner.

“After months of speculation that the Tigers might consider trading away Tarik Skubal, they could instead end up with a postseason rotation of Skubal, Alcantara, Framber Valdez, and Justin Verlander/Jack Flaherty,” wrote Miller.

“Even looking beyond this upcoming October and assuming Skubal signs elsewhere for a preposterous sum of money next winter, trading for Alcantara would put at least the top of the Tigers’ rotation in pretty great shape for 2027,” Miller added.

There is no denying that Skubal’s future is unclear in Detroit. If the Tigers let him walk, they will need another top-of-the-rotation arm with Valdez. Alcantara would fit the bill. He makes $17 million with a $21 million club option for 2027.

A Healthy Sandy Alcantara is a Game-Changer for the Detroit Tigers

Some teams may have been hesitant to trade for Alcantara as he returned in 2025 from surgery that cost him the 2024 campaign. He got better as the season went along and finished with an 11-12 record in 31 starts with a 5.36 ERA. He pitched 174.2 innings with 142 strikeouts and 1.27 WHIP.

The 30-year-old won the National League Cy Young Award in 2022. He went 14-9 with a 2.28 ERA with 207 strikeouts in 228.2 innings. He finished with an insane 8.1 WAR. Alcantara may never have a season like that again, but he still certainly has the stuff to headline a rotation on a contender.

The question for Miami will be, do they trade Alcantara or hold onto him? Last year, they overachieved and missed the playoffs by four games. If they’re in the mix at the trade deadline this year, then they might hold onto him. If not, the Tigers could build a tough rotation.

Given Miami’s history of trading away players in their prime rather than holding onto them, it feels like sooner or later, they are going to trade him. Detroit could add for the postseason stretch in 2026 while also adding for the future if Skubal leaves. This is a prediction that could become reality later this summer.

<

[ I was hoping the Guards would have picked up Alcantara after the 2024 season but they chose Luis Ortiz. Alcantara was still available before the trading deadline last year. He's still available. If the Tigers are still in the hunt for Alcantara this year, I'm hoping that the Guards will not let this happening go unchecked. ]

Former MLB pitcher sentenced to life in prison without parole for shooting his in-laws

The Associated Press

February 28, 2026

Auburn, Calif. (AP) — Former MLB pitcher Daniel Serafini was sentenced Friday to life in prison without the possibility of parole in the 2021 shooting of his wife’s parents during a burglary at their home by Lake Tahoe, authorities said.

Serafini, 51, was of first-degree murder of his father-in-law, Gary Spohr, attempted murder of his mother-in-law, Wendy Wood, and first-degree burglary. Spohr was killed and Wood survived, though she died a year after the shooting.

Placer County District Attorney Morgan Gire said in a Friday statement that Spohr and Wood were loving grandparents and that Serafini’s crimes greatly impacted family members and friends.

“The impact of this attack has extended far beyond the immediate victims, deeply affecting family members and the broader community, and highlighting the lasting harm caused by deliberate violence,” Gire said.

Serafini’s attorney did not return requests for comment.

During his sentencing hearing, Serafini addressed the court and maintained his innocence, He said he was out partying with his wife the night of the shooting and described himself as a “broken, imperfect man that makes mistakes.”

Serafini was drafted in 1992 by the Minnesota Twins. In a career spanning 11 years, the left-hander played for the Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres, Pittsburgh Pirates, Cincinnati Reds and Colorado Rockies.

Prosecutors said Serafini hated his wife’s wealthy parents and was heard saying he was willing to pay $20,000 to have them killed, according to Prosecutors showed jurors transcripts of angry emails and text messages between Serafini and his in-laws.

During the six-week trial, Serafini’s attorney David Dratman argued there was no physical evidence linking his client to the crime scene. He told the jury that although Serafini had a rocky relationship with his in-laws, he did not have motive to kill them.

Following his conviction, Serafini filed multiple motions for a new trial, but those were denied.

Serafini will serve his sentence at the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, according to the Placer County District Attorney’s Office.

Quite a dinger for Giants newcomer Harrison Bader, leaving an dent on a food truck


The Associated Press

February 26, 2026

PHOENIX (AP) — That was quite a dinger for Harrison Bader, who left a mark with his first home run for the San Francisco Giants this spring training.

Bader’s 408-foot homer to left field in the Giants’ 13-12 loss against Milwaukee on Wednesday put a . After exiting the game, the center fielder visited that concession area, met the truck’s owner and instead of partaking in an acai bowl added his autograph just below where the ball hit on the fly.

After climbing up, Bader signed his name along with his number and added: “Sorry.”

“It’s just a random, funny thing,” Bader told reporters.

Bader, who is set to play for Israel in the World Baseball Classic, joined the Giants last month after agreeing to a .

The 31-year-old, a with St. Louis in 2021, batted .277 with 17 home runs, 54 RBIs and a .796 OPS in 146 games with Minnesota and Philadelphia last season — setting career highs in all those categories.

Royals agree to deal with Starling Marte (source)

6 minutes ago

Jared Greenspan

The Royals have agreed to a Major League deal with outfielder Starling Marte, which is pending a physical, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand on Saturday. The club has not confirmed.

The 37-year-old Marte wrapped up his 14th season in the Majors, and he managed to turn back the clock.

Playing in a part-time role for the first time in his career, Marte appeared in 98 games for the Mets, slashing .270/.335/.410 with a .745 OPS. His offensive production (111 OPS+) was well above league average, and Marte’s best since 2022, an All-Star campaign in which he tallied down-ballot MVP votes. From June 1 through the end of the ‘25 season, Marte fared even better, hitting .289 with a .766 OPS.

Such marked an unexpected resurgence from Marte, who began the year without a defined role. After the Mets signed Juan Soto last offseason, they explored the idea of trading Marte, even informing the incumbent right fielder of their intention. But no suitor materialized, leaving Marte to take on a lesser role – a change he met with aplomb.

These days, health is of the utmost importance for Marte. Over the last few years, Marte has undergone double groin surgery, battled a lingering bone bruise in his right knee, dealt with migraines, and suffered a neck strain. He hasn’t played more than 100 games in any of the last three seasons. And yet, perhaps benefiting from a part-time role, Marte stayed relatively healthy in 2025. He was on the active roster for all but two weeks -- a quick trip on the IL for a knee issue -- and credited a lengthy pregame routine with the trainers for keeping him on the field, showing that there’s still plenty left in the tank.

At this stage of his career, Marte mostly profiles as a designated hitter. The two-time Gold Glove Award winner played in just 12 games in the outfield last season. He’s also the active leader in stolen bases, but that part of his game is diminished, too: He swiped seven bags in ‘25, bringing his career total to 361.

Marte, a native of the Dominican Republic, is also a valued clubhouse presence. He helped Soto adjust to the Mets organization amid the weighty expectations of his $765 million contract.

'Sorry': Bader's first Giants homer makes a dent -- literally

February 25th, 2026

PHOENIX -- Harrison Bader is already making a mark for the Giants.

Just ask Monica Godfrey, the proprietor of Cactus Bowls, a food truck that sells acai bowls at American Family Fields of Phoenix.

Godfrey was delivering an order to a customer in the top of the fourth inning of the Giants’ 13-12 loss to the Brewers on Wednesday when Bader mashed a 113.8 mph, three-run home run that ended up denting the top of her stand out in left field.

“All of a sudden I hear, ‘Ahhh,’ and I knew it was coming this way because people were ducking,” Godfrey said. “I look and all of a sudden, bam!”

Bader’s 408-foot missile -- his first since joining the Giants on a two-year, $20.5 million deal last month -- was hit so hard that you could even see the seams on the impression that was left on the front of the trailer.

“That’s pretty good, I’m not going to lie,” Bader said when shown video of his handiwork.

“That was a nuke,” first baseman Bryce Eldridge said, who went 1-for-2 and also hit his first home run of spring.

Godfrey said she had initially been setting up her acai stand in another part of the ballpark, but she was asked to move out to left field for the first time on Wednesday. She’s a big baseball fan, so she knew she would be a target for any homers hit down the left-field line.

“This is like prime area, you know?” Godfrey said. “But anyway, I will just have a forever dent from the Giants.”

“It’s just a random funny thing, but I guess it’s a good story,” Bader said.

The story got even better when Bader went out to Cactus Bowls to meet Godfrey and sign the dent.

“SORRY,” he wrote underneath his signature.
