The frustration continues for the New York Yankees and manager Aaron Boone. The Yankees dropped the rubber game of their 3-game series with the Houston Astros by a 7-1 margin at Yankee Stadium. Boone saw very little of the game as he was ejected in the third inning when he had a problem with a […]

A special season continues for the Seattle Mariners, and their catcher Cal Raleigh. Raleigh blasted his 45th home run of the season on Sunday, in a game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Seattle Mariners paid tribute to former player Ichiro Suzuki on Saturday, by retiring his jersey. Suzuki wore the no. 51 jersey in Seattle.

The New York Yankees were one of the most active teams at the MLB trade deadline. But that has not led to much success on the field. After a loss on Sunday, they are 2-7 since bolstering their bullpen and offensive depth. One key member of that deadline haul won’t be able to help them […]

The Philadelphia Phillies are atop the National League East and getting great performances from their trade deadline acquisitions.

But the Phillies are still looking to add to their bullpen, and have called up veteran David Robertson despite poor AAA […]

Heading to Sunday’s series finale against the Houston Astros, the New York Yankees desperately need a win. In fact, one could argue that Sunday’s matchup might make or break the Yankees’ season. Once upon a time, they were clearly at the top of the AL East. Now, the Bronx Bombers hold just a half game […]

The Chicago Cubs are one of the best teams in baseball. The Cubs have a 67-49 record this year and are clearly in the World Series picture. Their success is partially due to their incredible depth. The team really has no major holes (though pitching is a question mark), which is part of the reason […]

Currently five games atop the AL Central, the Detroit Tigers have been a bit up and down as of late.

Despite that outcome, Detroit […]

Eugenio Suárez is known for his power bat, but on Friday night against the Tampa Bay Rays, it was his glove — and arm — that turned heads. In a key defensive moment, the Seattle Mariners third baseman made a slick stop on a grounder and fired an on-the-money throw to retire the blazing-fast Chandler […]

A big reason the Milwaukee Brewers have enjoyed sustained success is because of shrewd decision-making in the front office, and the organization is hoping to capture some of that magic at the concession stands. Pat Murphy, who is currently a favorite to win his second straight National League Manager of the Year Award, became a […]

It hasn’t taken long for Jhoan Duran to etch his name into the Philadelphia Phillies record books. With another flawless ninth inning Saturday night, the newly acquired closer became the first pitcher in franchise history to record three straight 1-2-3 saves in his first three appearances as a Phillie. The milestone came in a 3-2 […]

After spending all of 2024 and the first half of the 2025 MLB season as a hitter only – albeit one good enough to win an MVP award – Shohei Ohtani pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers has become increasingly commonplace so far this summer, with the two-way unicorn posting a 2.37 ERA over his […]

Throughout the course of his career, no player is more synonymous with the New York Mets than Pete Alonso. The All-Star first baseman has been hitting home runs for the Mets for years, along with stars like Starling Marte and others. With a solo shot against Milwaukee Brewers starter Tobias Myers, Alonso finds himself sitting […]

It’s been yet another brutal season for Pittsburgh Pirates fans. Despite winning 12 of their last 17 games, the Pirates are well out of the playoff picture at 15 games below .500.

The Philadelphia Phillies are one of the best teams in Major League Baseball. Rob Thomson’s squad is 6-4 over their last ten games heading into their game against the Texas Rangers on Saturday night.
