Mets Promote Prospect A.J. Ewing to Majors to Jump‑Start Offense

The Mets are calling up top prospect A.J. Ewing from the minors to the majors, hoping his strong .339/.447/.514 line between Double-A and Triple-A this season—with speed (17 steals) and solid defense in center—gives the struggling club a much-needed offensive spark alongside Carson Benge in the outfield as they head into a series with the Tigers.

Yankees Hint Lombard Jr. May Fast-Track to MLB on Minor-League Tear

The Yankees are signaling that George Lombard Jr. could be fast-tracked to the majors if his strong minor-league performance continues, with a swing tweak for power and added third-base experience at Double-A. His defense is viewed as MLB-ready, and if his bat proves undeniable in Triple-A—potentially after about 30 strong games—he could earn a big-league debut sooner than expected.

MLB to trial codified check-swing reviews in the minors with two-challenge limit

MLB to trial codified check-swing reviews in the minors with two-challenge limit

MLB will test a semi-codified Check-Swing Challenge in the minors, allowing two challenges per team on swing/no-swing or ball/strike calls and using a 45-degree bat-angle criterion; trials in the Florida State League and Arizona Fall League in 2025 reduced strikeouts by over 3% and increased balls in play, with the Pacific Coast League starting midseason while the International League won’t apply the check-swing to that call (though umpires will use the same criterion). The move aims to reduce umpire discretion on check-swings and could affect batting strategy and MLB play, prompting debate on downstream effects.

Underdog on the mound: Uberstine's unlikely Red Sox spring arc

Mets Farm System Primed for 2026 as MMO Expands Prospect List

MMO unveils a 2026 Mets prospect preview with a Top 50 list (vs. Mets Minors’ Top 30), arguing a deeper ranking helps fans track players who could contribute through development, trades, or late-season callups. The Mets’ farm system remains strong after offseason moves that sent Williams and Sproat to the Brewers for Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers, plus new signees Wandy Asigen, Cleiner Ramirez, and Yordan Rodriguez. Nolan McLean and Carson Benge are expected to lead the list, with a robust Top 20 and optimism for the organization’s 2026 outlook.

Taylor Becomes Free Agent After Clearing Mariners Waivers

Infielder/outfielder Samad Taylor cleared outright waivers and elected free agency after Seattle designated him for assignment to make room for Yosver Zulueta. The 27-year-old has a limited MLB track record (83 games, .205/.272/.260) but strong minor-league numbers and speed, with versatility across infield and outfield. With no 40-man spot and after previously being outrighted, he’ll seek minor-league opportunities as clubs assess his upside and defensive versatility.
