I was looking through the Crossing Broad archives to see what happened 5, 10, and 15 years ago this week. It’s usually a slow sports period, late July, but MLB trade deadline rumors were cooking, and it happens to be the 15th anniversary of a curious turn of events. The Phillies were in the middle […]

This year’s trade deadline is just 12 days away, and the Cubs will need to add if they want to have a chance at taking down the top teams in the National League. They’re not alone, though, and their penchant for seeking value could put them at risk of losing out on the kind of …

Willie Stargell provided a glimpse of his future stardom when he hit for the cycle on July 22, 1964.

For Pittsburgh Pirates fans, Willie Stargell is a franchise stalwart. The left fielder turned first baseman spent his entire career with the Pirates with a penchant for hitting long balls and having fun, perhaps best captured by his observation that “The man says ‘Play ball,’ not ‘Work ball,’ you know.”

Craig Counsell praised the Cubs' offensive approach after Chicago erupted for six first-inning runs and cruised past the Detroit Tigers behind another strong outing from David Peterson.

Kevin Gausman on the potential this was his last...
