Hiura has … Continue reading Prospect Call Up – Milwaukee Brewers – Keston Hiura – 2B
Taylor Hearn is a rare story as he grew up just East of Dallas and dreamed of being a rodeo star like his father and grandfather, not necessarily a baseball player. He went on to shine at a small town in Royse City where he was drafted in the 22nd round by the Pittsburgh Pirates … Continue reading Prospect Call Up – Texas Rangers – Taylor Hearn – LHP
In a rather minor move on Saturday morning, the Arizona Diamondbacks sent Tim Locastro to AAA and called up Taylor Clarke, a 25-year old right handed pitcher. Clarke started the year at AAA, his third taste of the level, so it was only a matter of time before he got the call, where he will … Continue reading Prospect Call Up – Arizona Diamondbacks – Taylor Clarke – RHP

He comes from a very high arm slot that creates plenty … Continue reading Prospect Call Up – Seattle Mariners – Erik Swanson – RHP
The Royals optioned pitchers Tim Hill and Kevin McCarthy to AAA Omaha today, recalling Heath Fillmyer and calling Richard Lovelady up for his first taste of the big leagues. Only four teams have worse team ERAs than the Royals here early in 2019 so they are hoping Lovelady will bring a fresh arm to help … Continue reading Prospect Call Up – Kansas City Royals – Richard Lovelady – LHP
