Wed Jul 20 202209:34Roman Quinn, Brad Peacock Released By Royals
The Kansas City Royals released three players from its Triple-A Omaha roster on Wednesday -- outfielder Roman Quinn and right-handed pitchers Brad Peacock and Brandon Barker. Quinn began the 2022 season with the Philadelphia Phillies, but he was designated for assignment by the team in early June. After clearing waivers, he elected free agency and signed with the Royals. The 29-year-old hit just .162/.225/.189 over 23 games with the Phillies this year. Peacock, meanwhile, had been down at Triple-A Omaha all year. Over 35 relief appearances, he pitched to a stellar 1.64 ERA and 1.28 WHIP. Given those solid results, it seems likely the 34-year-old will land another minors contract soon.

Tue Mar 8 202213:07Royals Sign Brad Peacock
The Kansas City Royals signed free-agent right-handed pitcher Brad Peacock to a minor league deal on Monday. Peacock wasn't on a 40-man roster at the end of last year despite briefly pitching for the Boston Red Sox in 2021, so he was able to sign during MLB's lockout. The 34-year-old has spent eight of his 10 major league seasons pitching for the Houston Astros, and he was successful as a starter and reliever from 2016-19, when he had a 3.48 ERA in 320 1/3 innings. Peacock had shoulder surgery in the fall of 2020 and has thrown just 2 1/3 innings since. The righty allowed nine runs in 5 1/3 innings for Boston last year and wasn't much better at Triple-A, posting an 8.00 ERA in 36 innings.

Wed Sep 1 202100:43Brad Peacock Lit Up In Spot Start
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Brad Peacock made his team debut Tuesday, pitching on three days' rest against the Tampa Bay Rays. He didn't perform well, allowing five runs on two hits and two walks in 2 1/3 innings. This start was borne out of the COVID issues Boston is facing, and it would be surprising to see Peacock receive another opportunity. Regardless, fantasy managers should stay far away.

Mon Aug 30 202117:15Brad Peacock Acquired By Red Sox
Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Brad Peacock is the newest member of the organization, as he was shipped over from Cleveland this afternoon. The Red Sox sent cash considerations in return. Peacock has not been on a 40-man roster this season, hence his eligibility to be traded. In ten starts and eleven appearances for Triple-A Columbus, he's produced a 7.68 ERA in 34 innings. He won't factor into Boston's big-league plans just yet, and he may only be organizational depth. Fantasy managers can ignore him for now.

Wed Jul 7 202112:28Indians' Eddie Rosario placed on IL with abdominal strain
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The injury-depleted Cleveland Indians placed outfielder Eddie Rosario on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right abdominal strain. Rosario, hurt running out a grounder in the second inning of Monday night’s 9-8 loss at Tampa Bay, joined a list of key players out that also includes starting pitchers Shane Bieber, Aaron Civale and Zach Plesac. Ramírez also left last Thursday’s game against Houston with right abdominal tightness, one day after fouling a pitch off his left cheek against Detroit. He sat out Friday’s game against the Astros. “We think it’s mild,” Cleveland president Chris Antonetti said. “That’s our best assessment at this point. We just felt with the continued lingering soreness in there it made sense to make the IL move, especially with the All-Star break and you’re not playing games for four days. It just seemed to make sense that now was the right time to give him a bit of a rest.” Plesac is scheduled to return and start Thursday night’s... [More]

Sun Oct 18 202000:13Say good night to the bad guys: Astros fall short in Game 7
SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Houston Astros spent this odyssey of a season as baseball's biggest villains. When Aledmys Diaz flied out with a runner on first to end Game 7 of the AL Championship Series, the bad guys finally lost. Ridiculed, roasted and ripped all year long, the Astros still summoned enough October heart and poise to reach the brink of another World Series. Manager Dusty Baker's club even came agonizingly close to matching the biggest playoff comeback in baseball history in a wild ALCS. Although they couldn't quite conjure one more incredible postseason feat, this playoff run should be a source of pride for these Astros long after the boos stop. Although if fans are allowed back in most stadiums in 2021, this tarnished franchise probably won't hear the end of 2020 anytime soon. Houston fell behind early and never caught up in a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay in Game 7 on Saturday night, coming up short of an astonishing series comeback after three consecutive victories. After winning two... [More]
Thu Feb 20 202017:13Astros must fill hole in rotation after Cole's departure
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — As the Houston Astros put together their rotation for this season, they're faced with a Texas-sized hole after Gerrit Cole left as a free agent to sign with the New York Yankees. New manager Dusty Baker is looking for somebody to step up and help make up for the loss. But more than likely no one player will be able to replace Cole, and Baker will need multiple pitchers or "somebodies" to take a step forward.“It's not easy to replace his quality of work, or his innings pitched,” Baker said. “So, we're looking for somebody to replace him or somebodies as a group.”Justin Verlander and Cole provided a powerful 1-2 atop Houston’s rotation last season to help the Astros win the American League pennant. Cole led the AL with a career-best 2.50 ERA and finished second in the majors to Verlander with 20 wins, also a career-best.Cole was the runner up to Verlander in Cy Young Award voting before leaving Houston to sign a $324 million deal with the Yankees. Zack Greinke,... [More]
Fri Feb 14 202015:58'They cheated': Nats GM Rizzo unsatisfied by Astros' apology
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Count Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo among those not impressed or satisfied by the Houston Astros' attempts to apologize for -- and put behind them -- their sign-stealing scandal."They cheated. They were found guilty of it. And I haven't heard it yet," Rizzo said Friday after Washington's second formal workout at the spring training complex the team shares with Houston."The thing that pains me the most is it puts a black cloud over the sport that I love. And that's not right. The commissioner did an investigation and found that they cheated in 2017 and 2018. Somebody's got to say the words over there: 'cheated.' And that's important to me," Rizzo said. "For the sport to move on, which is what I'm most concerned about, we have to make sure that all the I's are dotted and the T's are crossed on this investigation before we end it."Rizzo's NL champ Nationals went into last year's World Series prepared to deal with against-the-rules actions by the...

HOUSTON (AP) — The Astros agreed to deals with five of their seven arbitration-eligible players Friday but are headed toward a hearing with star outfielder George Springer.The 30-year-old Springer has requested a salary of $22.5 million and Houston has offered $17.5 million, the largest gap among the 20 major league players who swapped figures in arbitration.
