Clemson baseball transfer portal tracker 2025: Who's in, who's out for Erik Bakich
CLEMSON — The offseason is here for Clemson baseball despite its hopes to still be playing in the College World Series
The Tigers (45-18) won their most games under coach Erik Bakich and most since 2018 to host a regional for the third straight season. However, they suffered an early elimination after losing to region No. 2 seed West Virginia and No. 3 Kentucky to fall way short of their CWS goal.

Now, Bakich looks to revamp his 2026 roster via the transfer portal as Clemson is losing key hitting and pitching contributors and looks to end its 15-year drought of not making it to Omaha.
The transfer portal opened June 2 and will close July 1. Graduate transfers can enter outside of the window, and if a school's coach leaves, players on those rosters will have an additional 30-day window to enter the portal.
Here's a look at who is leaving and joining Clemson baseball via the transfer portal.

Manny Machado homers again as Padres defeat Brewers 2-0
Associated Press MILWAUKEE (AP) — Manny Machado homered for a second straight game and five San Diego pitchers combined on a four-hit shutout as the Padres defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 2-0 on Friday night. Machado's eighth-inning homer off Grant Anderson was his ninth of the season. It came one day after he hit his 350th career homer in a 3-2 loss at San Francisco, making him the 33rd player to reach that milestone in his age-32 season or earlier. Machado turns 33 on July 6. San Diego's other run came when Luis Arraez singled home Tyler Wade in the third. Wandy Peralta (3-0) earned the win after replacing starter Randy Vasquez and striking out Christian Yelich to strand runners on second and third in the fifth. Robert Suarez retired the side in order in the ninth to earn his MLB-leading 20th save in 22 opportunities. Vásquez walked four while striking out two and allowing two hits in 4 2/3 innings. Milwaukee's Chad Patrick (3-5) struck out six and gave up one run, four hits and three walks in six innings. The 26-year-old rookie lowered his ERA to 2.84. The Brewers left runners in scoring position in the second, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh innings. Key moment After Jackson Chourio and Yelich hit consecutive two-out singles in the seventh, Adrian Morejon struck out William Contreras to preserve San Diego's 1-0 lead. Machado then provided the Padres some insurance when he led off the eighth by sending an 0-2 pitch inside the left-field foul pole. Key stat The Brewers left 10 men on base and went 1 of 9 with runners in scoring position. Up next RHP Stephen Kolek (3-1, 3.47 ERA) starts for the Padres and LHP Jose Quintana (4-1, 2.77) pitches for the Brewers when this three-game series continues Saturday. ___ AP MLB: recommended
