After a dismal 9-19 start that included a 10-game losing streak, everything changed for the Phillies on April 28. After serving in five seasons as the team’s manager, Rob Thomson was fired amidst the team’s massive underperformance. Bench coach Don Mattingly took over as the interim manager. In his first game later that day, the […] The post What Should the Phillies’ 3 Biggest Goals Be in July? appeared first on The Lead .
Why would you watch Germany face World Cup elimination in a penalty shootout when you could watch two teams slow-motion walking toward the top of their divisions in the American League? Of course, I’m talking about the Cleveland Guardians vs. Texas Rangers thumb-wrestling match. Now that's appointment television! In Monday's marquee game, Cleveland's Parker Messick faced off against the Rangers' bullpen, with the bulk of the innings thrown by Chris Paddack, debuting with his third team this...
GLENDALE – For years, the Arizona Cardinals have faced an uphill battle in convincing star players that the franchise is worth investing in long-term. Winning changes perception, but before championships come commitment. Trey McBride may have delivered exactly that during his appearance on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast. Speaking with former NFL veterans Will Compton […]
Pride Night 2026 came and went with relatively little fanfare or drama, all things considered. It is easy to forget that this time last year, tensions in Los Angeles surrounding the Dodgers were elevated, partly because Clayton Kershaw decided to doodle on his cap (not the subject of today’s essay) and partly because the city […]
The fix, Charlie Condon will tell you, was never dramatic. After a quiet stretch early in the season — the power numbers were down, the slugging percentage not quite where he wanted it — Colorado’s 2024 first-round pick didn’t tear anything down in Albuquerque. He nudged it. “It hasn’t been anything too, too dramatic — […]
At 37, two months after throwing his last pitch in the Mexican League, Shane Greene appears to be at peace with where his baseball career stands. Just don’t ask him if he’s retired. “We’re not using the R word yet,”…

Cincinnati Reds centerfielder Dane Myers made one of the more incredible, high-effort catches you’ll ever see during last night’s crushing loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. Ranging to his right, he reached a full sprint while reaching over his head to catch a liner off the bat of Andrew Vaughn, but in doing so caused himself […]
CC Sabathia remembers being able to take care of his family as soon as he signed his first MLB contract. Sabathia talks about how when he was playing, he focused on baseball and not much else, compared to now, where it’s more common for players to focus on outside businesses and opportunities. Hunter Pence, a […]
Dave Portnoy’s new book includes a candid account of his decades-old grudge against Bill Simmons and how he feels like he eventually got the last word. In an excerpt from his new book, “Cancel me if you can,” Portnoy writes that if you wanted to pretend you knew Boston back in the day, you talked…

The Yankees signed left-hander Henry Lalane as an amateur free agent out of the Dominican Republic in 2021. He was always seen as a talented but raw pitching prospect, but the skills and the tools were loud, so much so that he was ninth in MLB Pipeline’s organizational top 30 list in 2024, 11th in […]

Right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson passed through waivers unclaimed after his recent DFA, per Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. He’s been assigned outright to Triple-A Buffalo. Woods Richardson lacks the prior outright assignment or service time needed to reject an outright in favor of free agency, so he’ll remain with the organization as a depth piece. […]
PHOENIX — Opportunity has come again for right-handed pitcher Brandon Pfaadt, as the Arizona Diamondbacks are recalling him from Triple-A Reno to take the mound for Tuesday’s matchup. After beginning the season in Arizona’s starting rotation, shifting to the bullpen and spending several weeks rebuilding his workload in Reno, Pfaadt is back in the majors. […]
Urgh, June 2026. It was not a good month. The Braves are 9-13 so far, and lost five series (including a sweep) while only winning three. Two of those three came at the beginning of the month, too, so it’s basically been a disaster of a stretch for a team that played like they were […]
Players and owners are the outset of contentious labor negotiations that will revolve around the financial inequities between teams. There is no doubt that teams with enormous market resources have an advantage – the high-spending Dodgers have the best record in baseball. But it is also interesting that in the backdrop of these talks, the […]
Inspiration. Mostly out of curiosity, at the convenience market very near my house, I purchased a slice of banana cream pie. It was awesome! And near my home is the only place I would buy a slice of banana cream pie. When they play at home, the Diamondbacks look like a team heading to the […]
