The Mets used the sixth overall pick in the 2018 draft on Kel...

(You can watch both blasts at these Twitterlinks, courtesy of MLB Pipeline and MiLB Mariners.) The multi-homer showing came just hours after MLB.com’s Jon Morosi tweeted...

Rays shortstop Wander Franco, the consensus top prospect in all of baseball, will head to Triple-A Durham when the minor league season begins next week, reports Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times (Twitter link). The initial assignment doesn’t provide a concrete timeline for when Franco might be called to the big leagues, but it’s a fairly aggressive placement and one that’s worth noting, given Franco’s status within the game. He only turned 20 years old last month, and an assignment to...
