Foster Griffen, a former first-round draft pick and left-handed pitcher, is pursuing a stateside comeback after three years away from Major League Baseball. His decision to return zones in on an opportunity to reclaim a spot in the big leagues. Observers are eager to see how this hiatus might affect his trajectory.

In a strategic move during the 2025 MLB Draft on Sunday, the Seattle Mariners selected left-handed pitcher Kade Anderson from LSU with the No. 3 overall pick. This significant addition underscores the team’s commitment to strengthening their pitching roster.

The Chicago Cubs have bolstered their pitching staff by signing veteran left-hander Jake Brentz. Known for his reliability with the Kansas City Royals in 2021 and recent standout performances with the Kansas City Monarchs, Brentz adds valuable depth to the Cubs’ bullpen.
