DJ LeMahieu’s career is in so many ways one of great contrasts. A bolt-out-of-the-blue signing ahead of the 2019 season, he went from being a former NL batting champion in the game’s friendliest park for contact to one that is far more served to home runs in the AL. The initial free agent deal is […]
The format of the 2026 Home Run Derby features multiple changes compared to past years.
Dodgers outfielders Josue De Paula and Mike Sirota covered all seven innings in left field for the National League in Sunday’s MLB Futures Game in Philadelphia.

Bill Caudill celebrates his 70th birthday today. For those unfamiliar, Caudill was the Blue Jays’ answer to B.J. Ryan back in the 1980s. He broke into the majors with the Cubs, then found his stride as one of baseball’s elite closers in Seattle, before moving to Oakland, where he racked up 36 saves in a […]
If you told me at the beginning of the season that the Nationals would be 48-49 at the All-Star break, I would have been thrilled. Don’t get it twisted, this has been a successful first half given the expectations. There have been so many standout performers in the lineup and even in the rotation. However, […]
Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski was scratched from his start on Sunday due to fatigue. The All-Star is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have enjoyed back-to-back World Series victories and remain the most dominant team in Major League Baseball this year as well. Baseball is a fast-paced sport in terms of player transactions and roster turnover, so it’s fun to revisit old teams and faces to check in on how they are currently performing.

The Oklahoma City Thunder need to sort out Cason Wallace's role— but if they're not willing to grant him his wish, they need to prepare for his departure.
The Home Run Derby is tonight, featuring Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber. My guess is that neither makes it to the second round on the evening. Had I a thought on who would win, give me Junior Caminero, who I believe is the most underrated hitter in the game today. Three up Zack Wheeler – […]

We’re all going to be very mature about this.

It’s not often a club enters the All-Star break leading its division while the entire discussion centers on whether it can turn things around in the second half. But that’s where the Braves find themselves, having watched a 10.5-game lead in the NL East evaporate as they limped into the break by dropping 19 of […]
