Didi Gregorius is a welcome sight for the Yankees as he returns from injury Friday night, but it turns out he has some awesome talents aside from baseball. He shows off his artistic ability in today’s top social media posts. Elsewhere, Thursday was the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, and the Braves have a […] More
As soon as the Major League Baseball draft ended, it didn’t take long for the two premier free agents left on the market, Craig Kimbrel and Dallas Keuchel, to sign contracts. Keuchel will join the Atlanta Braves, according to multiple reports Thursday, the same day the Cubs introduced Kimbrel. Elsewhere, Max Kepler had himself a […] More
There are perfect homestands, perfect road trips and perfect games in baseball, each with their own level of excitement. A perfect inning, on the other hand, happens all the time. To get people hyped about a single inning, you’ve got to drill down deeper: An immaculate inning. Nine pitches, three strikeouts. We had one of […] More
It didn’t take long after the Major League Baseball Draft concluded for the Cubs to sign Craig Kimbrel to a three-year contract. It didn’t take long for the Mets’ Robinson Cano to re-injure himself after returning from the injured list on Wednesday. On the other hand, it did take a while, but the Blue Jays […] More
The best teams in baseball get plenty of mention in this space and others: It’s a regular rotation of Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, Astros, Phillies and Twins (yes, the Twins). But Tuesday night was one for the struggling teams. The Orioles catcher had a huge night and the team won a crazy game in Texas. […] More
Rarely have trades paid more immediate dividends than the Phillies’ one for Jay Bruce, who hit two home runs to help the Phillies beat the Padres on Tuesday night. Bruce’s presence became even more necessary because Philly learned Tuesday it has lost outfielder Andrew McCutchen for the season to a torn ACL. That all happened […] More
Superstars come and go quickly in professional sports, and that’s no different in Major League Baseball. The latest to burst onto the scene is the Pirates’ Josh Bell, who had a monster month of May and appears to be Pittsburgh’s latest great slugger. He’s building quite an audience on social media, too. Then there’s former […] More
There were some rumors even as the Major League Baseball draft started Monday night that the Orioles might have a surprise in store with the No. 1 pick, but in the end they went with the expected pick: Oregon State catcher Adley Rutschman. The Royals followed with Bobby Witt Jr., son of former Major Leaguer […] More
About 70 young baseball players will fulfill their dreams tonight when Major League Baseball holds the first two rounds of its annual first-year player draft. Included in that group will be Adley Rutschman, the Oregon State catcher whom the Orioles are expected to take with the first overall pick. After that will be some college […] More
The Major League Baseball Draft is the least-hyped of all sports’ drafts, but it’s three days of chaos that’s still worth paying attention to. None of the players picked in Monday night’s first and second rounds will go directly to the Majors — or probably even be there a year from now — but many […] More
The hero that Milwaukee wants, nay, the hero that Milwaukee needs, is home run-hitting, beer-chugging Christian Yelich. And if he says the old school uniforms the Brewers are wearing is cool, well, then they’re cool. That’s how social media works, right? One thing that’s definitely cool is supporting other sports teams in your city, and […] More
The Philadelphia Phillies are hoping to supplement their bench with some power and cement their lead atop the National League East. The Seattle Mariners, after a red-hot start, have faded badly and want to trade veterans for longer-term assets.
