@HarriganMLB
9:49 AM EDT

It’s been nearly 25 years since two teammates finished first and second in their league’s MVP Award voting, but we might be headed in that direction this season. If our latest MVP poll is any indication, a razor-thin MVP battle is brewing between a pair of teammates in the National

@feinsand
12:19 AM EDT

Hal Steinbrenner raised some eyebrows last week when he said he wanted to see Juan Soto finish his career in pinstripes, so much so that he’s willing to do something the Yankees don’t typically do: Negotiate a contract extension during the season. How likely is it that the Yankees will

9 starting pitchers flying high on low velocity

@Spokes_Murphy
12:24 AM EDT

Speed, for lack of a better word, is good. This is almost always true about pitches. Consider that hitters have a .274 average, an .809 OPS and a 14.3% strikeout rate on fastballs that are equal to or less than 93 mph this season. Bump that up to 96 mph

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Fenway Park. Busch Stadium. Tropicana Field. For Rafael Devers, the venue doesn’t matter these days. Put a bat in his hand and he’s going to go deep. On Monday night at Tropicana Field, Devers set a team record by hitting a home run in his sixth

2:17 AM EDT

Surging Sale pushes scoreless streak to 20 straight innings

May 20, 2024

ATLANTA -- Chris Sale has enjoyed being a Brave, as much as the Braves have enjoyed being the direct beneficiaries of his career resurgence. “I can't stress enough what this clubhouse is like,” Sale said. “The energy that’s in there, the guys and what everyone brings to the table and

Young Halos ambush Astros with historic power display

HOUSTON -- With a lineup that includes several youngsters, the Angels have dealt with their fair share of inconsistencies and struggles early this season.

Siani fuels Cardinals' offense with first MLB homer, career-high four RBIs
@JohnDenton555
1:00 AM EDT

ST. LOUIS -- Having spent several months together now, Cardinals ace Sonny Gray and manager Oliver Marmol have seen their communication and trust in one another grow to the point where they often need only gestures -- and not necessarily words -- to convey their thoughts. Just last week, when

'Nothing but love': Lindor makes return to Cleveland

May 20, 2024

CLEVELAND -- As Francisco Lindor emerged from the visiting clubhouse at Progressive Field on Monday, more than two dozen media members were already gathered around a television backdrop waiting for him.

From 'tech guy' to big leaguer: Loutos called up by Cardinals

@JohnDenton555
May 20, 2024

ST. LOUIS -- Even though Ryan Loutos has been a steadily rising pitching prospect in the Cardinals’ organization for the past two years -- largely by taking his fastball from 92 to 97 mph -- most of his Minor League teammates thought of him simply as their tech services help.

Gunnar goes deep in 4th straight with MLB-leading 16th HR

@JakeDRill
12:06 AM EDT

ST. LOUIS -- Brandon Hyde has emptied his vocabulary. The Orioles’ manager can’t even verbalize his amazement at what Gunnar Henderson is doing this season. Words like “impressive,” “incredible” and “astounding” don’t feel strong enough at this point. "I'm running out of adjectives, honestly. I need to start bringing a

@anne__rogers
12:13 AM EDT

KANSAS CITY -- A good outing from their starting pitcher and a big inning from their offense is a formula that has worked for nearly two months of the Royals’ season, so why stop now? Monday was no different. Michael Wacha allowed just two runs in seven innings, and the

MIAMI – Trivia question: Which reliever tied for the highest FanGraphs WAR in 2023? If you guessed Marlins left-hander Tanner Scott, give yourself a pat on the back. When Miami clinched a surprise postseason berth in 2023, much of that success could be attributed to the shutdown bullpen. When the

May 20, 2024

TORONTO -- Something changed in José Berríos that night in Minneapolis. Standing in the corner of the visitors' clubhouse after the Blue Jays lost 2-0 to the Twins in the American League Wild Card Series, the season has just collapsed around Berríos, ending amid controversy after he’d been yanked just
