Detroit Tigers trade Alex Faedo to Rays for minor leaguer, cash
The Detroit Tigers have traded right-hander Alex Faedo.
Faedo, who doesn’t have any minor league options remaining, has been dealt to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for catcher Enderson Delgado and cash considerations, according to sources with knowledge of the trade.
Before the trade, Faedo designated for assignment by the Tigers last week to create room on the 40-man roster for the new reliever Tommy Kahnle, meaning Faedo would’ve landed on waivers had the Rays not acquired him in a trade.
FORMER RAYS PLAYER:Ex-Central Michigan left-hander Dietrich Enns joins Tigers after three-year trek through Asia
The 29-year-old posted a 3.61 ERA with 28 walks (11.4% walk rate) and 55 strikeouts (22.4% strikeout rate) across 57⅓ innings in 37 games in the 2024 season. He has combined for a 4.51 ERA across 175⅔ innings in 64 games (30 starts) in his three-year MLB career.

The Tigers selected Faedo with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2017 draft.
Delgado, a 20-year-old switch-hitting catcher, hit .255 with four home runs, 28 walks and 54 strikeouts across 56 games for Low-A Charleston in the 2024 season. He also hit .204 with two home runs, 11 walks and 28 strikeouts across 31 games for the Perth Heat in the Australian Baseball League during the offseason.
ANOTHER CATCHER:Defense is top priority as Tigers develop Thayron Liranzo into catcher of future
On defense, Delgado is average as a catcher with above average skills in the way he leads a pitching staff. He has experience as a first baseman, but he projects to stick at catcher.
Delgado wasn’t among the Rays’ top 30 prospects before the trade, according to MLB Pipeline, but he could emerge as a top 30 prospect within the Tigers’ farm system if he makes developmental strides in 2025.
For now, Delgado is considered a fringe prospect.

The Detroit Tigers have made a move to bolster their minor league system by trading pitcher Alex Faedo to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for a promising minor leaguer and some cash considerations.Faedo, a former first-round pick by the Tigers in 2017, had been struggling to find his footing in the majors and the Tigers decided to part ways with the young pitcher in hopes of acquiring some additional talent for their farm system.
In return, the Tigers received a promising minor leaguer from the Rays organization who has shown potential to become a key player in the future. Additionally, the Tigers also received some cash considerations in the deal, providing them with some financial flexibility moving forward.
This trade marks a strategic move by the Tigers to continue building for the future, while also adding depth to their minor league system. Only time will tell if this trade will pay off for both teams involved. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

Carlos Carrasco Minor League contract with Yankees (report)
Veteran right-hander Carlos Carrasco agreed to a Minor League deal with the Yankees, according to a report from the YES Network’s Jack Curry on Monday. The team has not confirmed.
Carrasco, who turns 38 in March, went 3-10 with a 5.64 ERA in 21 starts in 2024 for Cleveland, where he’d played his first 11 seasons before being traded to the Mets prior to the 2021 campaign.
Carrasco has a career record of 110-103 with a 4.14 ERA in 15 seasons for the Guardians and Mets. His best season was 2017, when he won a career-high 18 games — tying three other pitchers for the Major League lead — and finished fourth in American League Cy Young Award voting. As recently as 2022, he won 15 games for New York.
According to recent reports, the New York Yankees have signed former Cleveland Indians pitcher Carlos Carrasco to a minor league contract. Carrasco, who has been a reliable starter for the Indians for several years, will now have the opportunity to compete for a spot in the Yankees’ rotation.This signing comes at a time when the Yankees are looking to add depth to their pitching staff, especially with the uncertainty surrounding several key pitchers due to injuries. Carrasco, known for his strong command and ability to generate strikeouts, could provide a much-needed boost to the team’s rotation.
While Carrasco will initially start in the minor leagues, there is a possibility that he could be called up to the major league squad if he performs well and the team has a need for his services. Yankees fans will surely be keeping a close eye on Carrasco’s progress as he works his way towards potentially making an impact at the big league level.

Cubs, Nicky Lopez agree on Minor League deal (source)
The Cubs have agreed to a Minor League deal with free-agent infielder Nicky Lopez, a source told MLB.com. The club has not confirmed the move.
Lopez, who will turn 30 on March 13, spent last season playing second base and shortstop for the crosstown White Sox. The Naperville, Ill., native batted .241 with a .606 OPS across 445 plate appearances and owns a .626 OPS across six big league seasons split between the Royals, Braves and White Sox.
Lopez could play a vital role early in the year with second baseman Nico Hoerner’s status for Opening Day unclear after he underwent flexor tendon surgery on his right forearm on Oct. 11.
The Cubs begin their 2025 regular season in Tokyo, Japan, against the Dodgers on March 18.
The Chicago Cubs and infielder Nicky Lopez have reached an agreement on a Minor League deal, according to sources. Lopez, who was previously with the Kansas City Royals, is looking to make an impact with the Cubs organization and earn a spot on the big league roster.The 27-year-old infielder has shown promise during his time with the Royals, hitting .300 in 68 games last season. Lopez is known for his defensive abilities at second base and shortstop, making him a valuable asset for the Cubs as they look to bolster their infield depth.
With this Minor League deal, Lopez will have the opportunity to showcase his skills in Spring Training and earn a spot on the Cubs’ roster for the upcoming season. Cubs fans are excited to see what Lopez can bring to the team and are hopeful that he can make a significant contribution to the club’s success.
Stay tuned for more updates on Nicky Lopez and his journey with the Chicago Cubs as he works towards earning a spot on the big league roster.

#Cubs #Nicky #Lopez #agree #Minor #League #deal #sourceReport: Cubs sign infielder Nicky Lopez to minor league deal
A former White Sox infielder is heading to the North Side.
According to MLB insider Jon Heyman, Nicky Lopez has signed a deal with the Chicago Cubs. The agreement is a minor league contract, ESPN’s Jesse Rogers later followed up.
Lopez, who turns 30 in March, was one of five players traded to the White Sox in exchange for reliever Aaron Bummer last November. Never known for his bat, the Naperville hit .241/.312/.294 with a 77 wRC+ and 0.9 fWAR in 445 plate appearances this season. As in the past, Lopez made up for that lack of production in the field.
The Naperville native was named a Gold Glove Award finalist for AL second baseman last month. In 640.1 innings at the position, Lopez logged a .989 fielding percentage, -1 defensive runs saved, four outs above average, and a 1.4 on the SABR Defensive Index. These stats didn’t stack up favorably for Lopez, as Cleveland’s Andres Giménez ultimately took home the hardware.
The last White Sox second baseman to win a Gold Glove Award was Yolmer Sanchez back in 2019. Funny enough, the fan-favorite was outrighted shortly after when the White Sox did not offer him the $6.2 million he was projected in his final year of arbitration. Lopez was estimated to earn $5.1 million in arbitration this year, which was always unlikely to be matched with the team looking to cut payroll and already having infield options in both Brooks Baldwin and Lenyn Sosa.

The Chicago Cubs have reportedly signed infielder Nicky Lopez to a minor league deal, according to a recent report.Lopez, 26, spent the past three seasons with the Kansas City Royals, where he appeared in 137 games and posted a .273 batting average. The versatile infielder has primarily played second base and shortstop but has also seen time at third base and in the outfield.
The Cubs are likely hoping that Lopez can provide depth and versatility in their infield, as well as potentially compete for a spot on the major league roster. Lopez will have the opportunity to showcase his skills in spring training and earn a spot with the team.
Stay tuned for more updates on Nicky Lopez and the Cubs as the offseason progresses.

Minor snow threat possible in Portland next week, heavy snow expected in Cascades
PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — Colder weather is forecast to move into the area starting Friday morning.
The National Weather Service in Portland has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the Oregon and Southwest Washington Cascades.
They have also issued a Winter Storm Watch for the north Oregon Coast Range and the Willapa Hills in Washington.
“This system’s arrival soon will change the entire weather pattern we’ve been experiencing recently—from historically dry and cold to what we normally see in February,” said Storm Tracker 2 Meteorologist Rhonda Shelby.
The snow level will begin at around 4,000 feet Friday morning before dropping to around 3,000 feet by Friday night.
“Heavy snow possible above 3,000 feet. Total snow accumulations between 6 and 12 inches, and up to 15 inches above 5,000 feet,” NWS Portland said in their warning message.
In the Coast Range and Willapa Hills, forecasters are calling for 2 to 4 inches through Saturday afternoon.
People traveling to the coast should expect to encounter winter driving conditions. The snow level will start around 3,000 feet before lowering towards 500 feet by late Saturday morning.
With the snow level falling that low, people are wondering about the possibility of seeing snow in the Willamette Valley and around the Portland area.
“This is not looking like an arctic outbreak or deep freeze. It’s looking more like a minor snow threat for most areas below 1000 feet early next week,” Shelby said.
Weather models continue to offer different solutions every run and Shelby adds that any slight change in cold air or an addition or subtraction of available precipitation could change the forecast.
“I expect the snow level to fluctuate from 500 to 1000 feet at times early next week. This is referring to the “sticking” level of snow. However, anyone at sea level could expect dustings of snow in heavier showers that occur early in the morning or late at night when air temperatures are coldest,” Shelby stated.
Storm Tracker 2 Meteorologist Dave Salesky will have the latest forecast on KATU News tonight at 4, 5, 6, and 11 p.m.
As winter weather continues to make its presence known in the Pacific Northwest, residents in Portland may want to keep an eye on the forecast for next week. While heavy snow is expected in the Cascades, there is also a minor snow threat for the Portland area.The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the Cascades, with up to a foot of snow expected in some areas. This could create hazardous driving conditions on mountain passes and higher elevation roads.
In Portland, there is a chance of snow next week, although accumulations are expected to be light. However, even a small amount of snow can cause disruptions in the city, so residents should be prepared for possible impacts on travel and daily activities.
As always, it’s important to stay informed and prepared for changing weather conditions. Keep an eye on the forecast and make sure you have necessary supplies on hand in case of snow or ice. Stay safe out there, Portland!

The LPGA is kicking off its 2025 campaign this week, but it didn’t feel like much of an offseason for Nelly Korda.
The world No. 1 said Tuesday she only put the clubs away for seven days, following her appearance with her father in the PNC Championship, which concluded Dec. 22.
During that week, Korda said she spent time with family, cooked and even did some dog sledding in Utah.
“That was more of like a one-and-done situation,” Korda said of the snowy excursion. “It was really cool experience, but I will probably never be doing that ever again.”
What she’d love to do again, however, is repeat her performance of last season. Korda won seven times on tour, including her second career major. Five of those triumphs came in successive starts, tying a tour record.
“Very, very, very crazy” – three verys – was how she described 2024. For all the highs, the season also had its share of lows with a few injuries and some major mishaps. Ultimately, she said it was a “learning experience,” encompassing everything from not focusing on others’ expectations to properly managing her schedule.
Korda will play this week’s limited-field tournament at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club in Orlando, Florida, and then next week at her home in Bradenton, for the Founders Cup. She’ll again skip the tour’s early-year, three-event Asia swing, and return to action for her title defenses at the Ford Championship, T-Mobile Match Play and Chevron Championship.
Korda will only get a chance this season to defend five of her seven victories. The Drive On Championship – her first win of ’24 – was contested at Bradenton Country Club. That site remains but is now hosting the rescheduled Founders Cup, which is officially Rose Zhang’s tournament to defend.
Also removed from the schedule is the Fir Hills Se Ri Pak Championship, which was part of Korda’s early-2024 title run.
She doesn’t focus too much on past success, though, noting how much can change from one year to the next. “I mean, the field is different. There [are] different girls in the field. Weather is different. Golf course could be different. There are so many variabilities that just completely changes it,” she said.
This is one tournament Korda has never won (though, her sister, Jessica, did in 2021). Nelly tied for 16th last year in the event which is open to LPGA winners over the last two years and includes a concurrent, 72-hole celebrity portion.
In part to Korda’s dominance, this year’s LPGA field stands at 32 players.
Armed with “a little bit of equipment changes,” including a new driver, her follow-up to a historic season begins on Thursday — a perfect soft launch.
“It’s a different, relaxed vibe,” she said, “and no better way to start off the year than playing in this event.”
After a well-deserved break following her historic 2021 season, Nelly Korda is back and ready to continue her dominance on the LPGA Tour. The 23-year-old American golfer took some time off to recharge and even tried her hand at dog sledding in the snowy mountains.Korda made headlines last year when she won three LPGA Tour events, including her first major championship at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. She also represented Team USA in the Tokyo Olympics, where she finished tied for 15th.
Now, with a refreshed mindset and renewed focus, Korda is setting her sights on even greater achievements in the upcoming season. She has been putting in the work on the practice range and is eager to showcase her skills on the course once again.
Fans and fellow competitors alike are excited to see what Korda will accomplish next, as she continues to solidify her place among the top players in women’s golf. Stay tuned for updates on her progress as she embarks on the next chapter of her already impressive career.

Reds Sign Wade Miley To Minor League Deal
The Reds and veteran lefty Wade Miley have agreed to a minor league contract, reports Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer. The O’Connell Sports Management client will earn a prorated $2.5MM base salary in the big leagues and can bump that to $4MM via innings-based incentives, reports Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
Miley, who’s on the mend from Tommy John surgery performed late last April, is aiming for a return in mid-to-late May. That’d mark a roughly 13-month recovery window if he’s able to do so. (Nightengale also adds that there’s a June 1 opt-out, though that’s standard for any Article XX(B) free agent who signs a minor league contract; Miley will also have opt-outs five days prior to Opening Day and on May 1, but he’ll still be rehabbing at both points.)
It’s the second stint with the Reds for Miley. He also pitched in Cincinnati from 2020-21, signing a two-year, $15MM contract with the Reds in the 2019-20 offseason. The Reds don’t have a glaring rotation need, as they’re currently expected to deploy Hunter Greene, Brady Singer, Nick Lodolo, Nick Martinez and Andrew Abbott — with prospects like Rhett Lowder, Chase Petty and Connor Phillips all climbing the ranks as well. However, injuries are an inevitability for any pitching staff, and Miley could provide some veteran reinforcement at about the one-third mark of the 2025 season.
Miley, 38, made only two starts with the Brewers in 2024 before requiring elbow surgery. Emotional at the time, the southpaw said he’d take some time to determine whether he wanted to return to pitching or whether the torn elbow ligament would effectively end his career. In late December, Miley made clear that indeed planned to return to the mound and hoped to do so as a member of the Brewers, with whom he’d spent the past two seasons. However, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Miley’s shortlist of clubs for which he’d pitch also included his other two most-recent employers — the Reds and the Cubs — and that Cincinnati put together a more compelling contract structure for the southpaw.
The last mostly healthy season for Miley came with Milwaukee in 2023, when he tallied 120 1/3 innings and posted a tidy 3.14 earned run average along the way. He posted just a 16.1% strikeout rate, one of the lowest in the league, and surely benefited from a .234 average on balls in play. However, Miley also displayed good command (7.8% walk rate), kept the ball on the ground at a solid clip (46.3%) and continued a careerlong trend of inducing weak contact far more often than most pitchers.
Miley has never missed many bats. Earlier in his career, he was the consummate crafty left-hander/innings eater, making 30-plus appearances each season from 2012-17. Late in that stretch, however, his career looked to be on the downswing. His already pedestrian fastball velocity dipped to just over 91 mph on average, and he was tagged for a 5.37 ERA and 5.61 ERA in consecutive seasons in 2016-17.
Miley’s career had a second act beginning with a minor league pact in Milwaukee back in 2018. Since that time, he’s only reached 100 innings three times in seven years but has been better than ever on a rate basis. Dating back to 2018, he’s tossed 589 2/3 frames with a 3.46 ERA between the Brewers, Astros, Cubs and Reds.
The Cincinnati Reds have signed veteran left-handed pitcher Wade Miley to a minor league deal. Miley, who has pitched for several teams during his 10-year career, will have the opportunity to compete for a spot on the Reds’ pitching staff this season.Known for his durability and consistency, Miley brings a wealth of experience to the Reds’ organization. Last season, he posted a 3.37 ERA in 14 starts for the Houston Astros, showing that he still has plenty left in the tank.
With the Reds looking to bolster their pitching staff, Miley could prove to be a valuable addition if he can showcase his skills during spring training. Stay tuned for updates on Miley’s progress as he works towards earning a spot on the Reds’ roster.

NBA makes minor tweaks to Warriors, Bucks, Raptors schedules
The NBA announced the rescheduling of two Golden State Warriors home games as they deal with the domino-effects of scheduling issues stemming from the Los Angeles fires. The Warriors will now host the Milwaukee Bucks on March 18th at 7:00 pm Pacific and the Toronto Raptors on March 20th at 7:00 pm Pacific.
The NBA rescheduled two Los Angeles Lakers games during the worst of the fires, which destroyed thousands of homes throughout Southern California. Once the league rescheduled those games, it forced other moves to be made to keep each team at a balanced 82-game schedule without delaying the postseason.
The Warriors were originally slated to host the Raptors and Bucks on a home back-to-back on March 19th and 20th. Now, the Dubs will get to enjoy a day off between the matchup. However, the adjustment will create a different back-to-back in the schedule since they will play their originally scheduled home game on March 17th against the Denver Nuggets.
In a recent announcement, the NBA has made some minor tweaks to the schedules of the Golden State Warriors, Milwaukee Bucks, and Toronto Raptors. These changes are aimed at improving the overall balance of the teams’ schedules and ensuring fair competition throughout the season.The Warriors, who have been struggling in recent games, will now have a slightly lighter schedule with more rest days between games. This adjustment is intended to give the team the opportunity to regroup and work on improving their performance.
On the other hand, the Bucks and Raptors, both of whom have been dominating their respective conferences, will see an increase in the number of games against top-tier opponents. This change is designed to challenge the teams and test their abilities against some of the best teams in the league.
Overall, these tweaks are part of the NBA’s ongoing efforts to ensure that all teams have a fair and competitive schedule. Fans can look forward to seeing how these adjustments will impact the performances of the Warriors, Bucks, and Raptors in the coming weeks.

Rise of Junior Caminero in the AL East
As fantasy baseball enthusiasts gear up for the upcoming season, the focus shifts from big-name players to potential sleepers who could make a significant impact. Among these hidden gems lies Junior Caminero, a rising star from the Tampa Bay Rays, poised to shake up the AL East division in 2025.
Junior Caminero’s introduction to the MLB scene was somewhat subdued, with a late 2023 debut that didn’t attract much attention outside hardcore baseball circles. Despite a quiet rookie season in 2024 due to injury setbacks, Caminero’s potential remains untapped, hinting at a breakout year ahead.
Standing at an imposing 6’1″ and weighing 220 lbs, Caminero possesses the physical attributes of a power hitter, complemented by elite bat speed that sets him apart from his peers. His impressive exit velocities and hard-hit rates in 2024 showcased his raw offensive talent, foreshadowing a promising future once he secures a regular spot in the Rays’ lineup.
Moreover, the shift of the Rays’ home games to George Steinbrenner Field in 2025 bodes well for Caminero, as the stadium’s hitter-friendly dimensions could amplify his power-hitting capabilities. Coupled with his stellar performance in the Dominican Winter League, where he is currently excelling, Caminero’s potential for a breakout season in 2025 seems increasingly likely.
As fantasy baseball managers delve into their draft strategies, keeping an eye on Junior Caminero as a potential sleeper pick from the AL East could prove to be a game-changer, offering a blend of untapped potential and promising indicators of future success. Stay tuned for Caminero’s journey as he navigates the upcoming season, aiming to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with in the highly competitive MLB landscape.
