The Seattle Mariners made a historic commitment to their top prospect this week! Colt Emerson (MLB Pipeline #7, BA #7, FanGraphs #11 overall) signed an 8-year/$95 million extension with a 9th-year club option, full no-trade clause (NTC), and escalators that can push the total over $130 million. This is the largest contract ever for a player with zero MLB service time. Week in Review Highlights: Konnor Griffin (Pirates' No. 1 prospect) made his MLB debut on Friday at just 19 years old — the first teenager to debut since Juan Soto. He doubled in his very first at-bat! Long-term extension talks are already underway. Sandy Alcantara looked like his old Cy Young self, throwing a dominant 93-pitch complete game shutout for the Marlins. Jo Adell stole the show with three home run robberies in one game against the Mariners, preserving a 1-0 Angels victory in one of the most spectacular defensive performances of the young season. Blue Jays add veteran depth by signing Patrick Corbin and acquiring Tyler Fitzgerald from the Giants. Injury Updates: Mookie Betts — oblique strain (4-6 weeks) Jordan Lawlar — fractured wrist (4-6 weeks) Cade Horton — forearm tightness Johan Oviedo — arm issue? Justin Verlander — hip inflammation Hunter Brown — shoulder strain Alejandro Kirk — thumb surgery, placed on IL We also discuss early-season buzz and run a Player of the Day (POTD) poll!

Fantasy Baseball Live! – April 5, 2026 @ 3 pmSegments 1 and 2 – Review the weekend gamesAdditional Notes:1.Mookie Betts with an oblique and Hunter Brown with a shoulder?a.Who are the pickups?2.What happened to Cristian Javier, or was he always overrated? He's a flyball pitcher with a 92-93 mph fastball. While he had a great season in 2022, he wasn't good prior to TJS and has been really inconsistent since.a.Is he somebody who can bounce back?3.When do we start to worry about Nick Kurtz? Prior to Saturday's game, he's one for 21 with 13 strikeouts in 26 plate appearances. Most of his games have been on the road. It'll be interesting to see if things change now that the A's are home. Last season, he posted the same batting average, but made better contact at home with a lot more power.4.Jordan Lawlar has a fractured wrist and will miss the next 6 to 8 weeks. The guy just can't catch a break. Thoughts on who gets his at-bats?a.Also, I'm wondering what happens with Gurriel's return. Will Lawlar still have a job?5.Eury Perez couldn't find the plate against the Yankees. It could have been a lot worse than 4 ERs in 4 innings. Any worries?6.Don't look now, but Jordan Walker is hitting .296 with two home runs over the first 8 games. It's clearly a small sample size, but at least it's a nice start to the season.7.Tatsuya Imai – Great call by us as he dominated the As in Sacramento. He still walked three though.Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 3 – Closer ReportClose
