8/16 7:00 AM Pete Alonso (1B-NYM) Pete Alonso's clear connection to Yankees owner turns heads before free agency. While the New York Mets are guaranteed to have first baseman slugger Pete Alonso through the rest of this 2025 season, all indications are that he's going to opt out of his current two-year, $54 million deal this offseason (which includes a player option after the first year) and become a free agent once again, just like he did one year ago. It will be fascinating to see how Alonso's free agency plays out. It didn't seem to work out in the Polar Bear's favor last winter, as he ultimately didn't get the long-term deal he was seeking. The primary reason for this is likely because Alonso is a power-hitting third baseman who is now 30, and those players typically see regression at around this time or into their mid-thirties.

8/16 7:00 AM Ryne Nelson (P-AZ) Diamondbacks in Desperate Need of Bounce-Back by Ryne Nelson. The Arizona Diamondbacks looked out of sorts in their loss to the Colorado Rockies on Friday night, losing 4-3 to even the four-game series at one apiece. The D-backs are 60-63, looking to climb their way back to .500, while the Rockies won just their 33rd game of the year. Right-hander Ryne Nelson has been incredible in 2025, but his heavy fastball reliance caught up to him his last time out, as the pitch was hammered for a three-run homer that ultimately became a key part of the Texas Rangers' comeback win over Arizona on Monday.

8/16 7:00 AM Kristian Campbell (2B-BOS) Red Sox's Alex Cora Gives Harsh Update On Kristian Campbell's MLB Promotion. The Boston Red Sox need more production from first base, and former top prospect Kristian Campbell is raking down in Triple-A. Campbell, who signed an eight-year, $60 million extension after making the Opening Day roster, got sent down on June 19 following a deep slump for seven weeks. Manager Alex Cora spoke about that possibility on Friday. Before Boston's 2-1 win over the Miami Marlins, Cora said that although the Red Sox are excited to see Campbell delivering some positive results at the plate, he's not yet feeling comfortable about the 23-year-old's potential to transition back to major league pitching.
