Tennessee baseball loses players to transfer portal ahead of 2027 season
Summary

Tennessee baseball has seen 18 players enter the transfer portal ahead of the 2027 season, nearly half of its 39-player roster from 2026. The majority of those departing were not major contributors, with only four position players who made more than five starts this past season. Notable transfers include shortstop Manny Marin to Arkansas and utility player Chris Newstrom to UC Santa Barbara. Coach Josh Elander will focus on roster additions moving forward, as no additional players can depart before the next season begins. Despite the losses, key pitchers like Landon Mack and Cam Appenzeller are set to return.
