Nothing comes easy in Arlington. Many fans hoped that October delight Evan Carter could enjoy a comeback campaign this year, one that would coincide with a Texas Rangers resurgence.

The New York Yankees entered their series against the Boston Red Sox on a roll. Manager Aaron Boone’s team put on a show offensively over the past week, going on a five-game winning streak. However, Boston put an end to that momentum with a 6-3 road win. While the Red Sox got clutch hits late […]

It has been a year of mishaps, misfortune and missed opportunities for the Arizona Diamondbacks (62-66), but Corbin Carroll is still getting plenty out of the 2025 campaign from an individual perspective.

In February of 2021, the St. Louis Cardinals traded five players to the Colorado Rockies for third baseman Nolan Arenado. Left-handed pitcher Austin Gomber was one of the biggest names Colorado acquired as part of the deal. Like many pitchers before him, though, Gomber struggled to find success with Colorado. Was it the elevation of […]

The last seven games have been quite a nice sample size of the Tampa Bay Rays 2025 season. The Rays enter Friday night’s matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals losers of four straight.

Ahead of facing the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. didn’t share the same energy as his manager, Mike Shildt, but he is looking forward to it.

Bend don’t break. The Houston Astros (70-58) have lived these words for much of the last month.

The club then wobbled again, losing twice […]

On Friday, the Baltimore Orioles signed catcher Samuel Basallo to an eight-year $67 million deal. A massive move after proving himself in only four games.

The New York Yankees fell to the Boston Red Sox 6-3, reaching an ignominious milestone Thursday night at Yankee Stadium in a game defined by defensive miscues and missed opportunities.

In front of nearly 50,000 people in attendance at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, the New York Yankees did not just suffer a 6-3 loss in a series opener against bitter American League East rivals Boston Red Sox; they also displayed an embarrassingly sloppy brand of baseball that resulted in four errors. Three of those […]

After being competitive for much of the first half of the 2025 season, the San Francisco Giants have gradually fallen off, and their Thursday night contest against the San Diego Padres did not help matters whatsoever.

The New York Mets dropped the series finale to the Washington Nationals, 9-3, on Thursday at Nationals Park, with left-hander Sean Manaea once again at the center of concern.
