2026 baseball transfers port hole thread

Any mutual interest between us and Capece from Pickle Smoochers? Saw he entered the portal.

IDK what the staff has planned for Jeter, or vice versa, from a position standpoint. There is absolutely 0% chance I risk losing Worthley by adding Capece.

Let's just pretend Jeter moves position, is Capece a better option than Fikes? CC seemed to have a down year, but I didn't pay much attention to him or his team. He did play in the Cape last year, which is attention grabbing.
 
Childress following this A&M pitcher. DSA, so won't count towards roster cap. 1.1 IP over 3 appearances this year. 2H 6ER 4BB 3K 2HBP

Pitching in the Cape this summer:



 
LH relievers (or just LHP in general) seem to be an early priority for Childress. Makes sense considering they lose Worthley, Clark, & Cleavinger.

Recent follows:




We currently have 6 LHP and maybe 16-21 (depends on who is leaving) RHP on the roster, so definitely need to add some LHP
 
Pure speculation but gonna keep an eye on this one. Assistant coach Mike Sirianni's brother, former Husker Jay Sirianni, is the Head Coach of SHSU. And Childress still has a strong name in this part of Texas...



Cant believe Jay kept his job. This guy and 9 other SHS players in portal.

Are they leaving because they're going to get paid somewhere or issues?

Would have to research each players results at SHSU to have a better idea to speculate. They had a very bad year in 2025 (11 or 12 wins), but picked it up in 2026 with a respectful bounce-back (mid 20 wins). Could be an underlining problem, could be players shown the door, could be money related, could be something else...

It's not always about RS/NIL ($); see Anderson, Matthews, Jasa, Carey, Grego & Je Worthley as prime examples. On the flip side, see Brumbaugh & Bolin who did leave because of it, IIRC more so with Brum.

Sounds like we'll have an unexpected one hit the portal today or tomorrow. Not a big name, production wise, but one that we wanted back.
