The Tampa Bay Rays have only been around for 21 years, and playing in a division with the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox doesn’t provide many opportunities for trash-talking. That’s changing this season. The Rays are in first place, and they’re happy to let people know about it. Elsewhere, Tim Anderson is back […] More
It’s not often that a Major League Baseball player will call out a teammate, especially not a superstar, but that’s exactly what happened Monday night. After a 5-1 loss to the Mets, Phillies’ pitcher Jake Arrieta — one of the team’s veterans — criticized Bryce Harper for throwing a fit about a bad strike zone […] More
What an end to the weekend in the American League East. The Yankees had a walk-off win that started with a historic performance from starting pitcher James Paxton … but they lost outfielder Aaron Judge to an oblique injury in the process. The Red Sox swept the front-running Rays … but still trail Tampa Bay […] More
Sometimes, baseball is cyclical. With one superstar on his way back to an active roster in Major League Baseball, another one hits the injured list. Francisco Lindor is back for the Cleveland Indians after an ankle injury, but Jacob deGrom has some discomfort in his elbow and will miss at least one start for the […] More
The news dominating Major League Baseball is all about yesterday’s brawl between the White Sox and Royals, in which Chicago’s Tim Anderson got ejected, even though he was the one being thrown at. It’s causing plenty of controversy around baseball. Speaking of controversy, the Red Sox continue to struggle and David Price has a suggestion […] More
The talk of the day in Major League Baseball was Tim Anderson’s home run, bat flip and the subsequent brawl between the White Sox and Royals.

Mookie Betts, one of last year’s breakout stars across Major League Baseball for the Boston Red Sox, has been struggling so far this year, as has his entire team. Betts took the blame upon himself on Monday afternoon, declaring that his play and leadership were “unacceptable.” That’s quite the drama for April, but with the […] More
It’s only mid-April, but the Major League Baseball season might have already seen its biggest blooper. Thanks to Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna (who is, ahem, a Gold Glove award winner) trying to scale a wall on a fly ball that fell 10 feet short, we can have lots of laughs this morning. Elsewhere, the Red […] More
A week into the season, it turns out there are plenty of teams that could use bullpen help (shocking), and elite closer Craig Kimbrel is still out there on the free-agent market. When will someone bite the bullet and sign him? It’s a question that many are beginning to ask around Major League Baseball. Other […] More
The Cleveland Indians reached the ninth inning Thursday night and were three outs away from the franchise’s first no-hitter in 38 years. However, it wasn’t to be, but it still made for a good social media experience. The Athletics also used a cool Instagram video to celebrate their series win against the Red Sox. On […] More
The Los Angeles Dodgers outlasted the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLCS to advance to the World Series. Now they’ll square off with the Boston Red Sox, the team that won the most games in the regular season (108). Even though the Dodgers won 16 less, they have an opening as the Red Sox might have […] More
The marquee Division Series of the year features two of the best teams in baseball and one of the oldest rivalries in professional sports. The Yankees and Red Sox meet in Boston for Game 1 of the ALDS on Friday. The Red Sox had the best record in the majors by five games. Their 876 […] More
