The New York Yankees shouldn’t just be satisfied with being one of MLB‘s best teams. Their goal should be to be the best, and that is why they should call about Tarik Skubal and every other big-name player on the…
First baseman Trey Mancini passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment by the Angels, per the MLB.com transaction log. He was assigned outright to Triple-A Salt Lake. Mancini has the service time needed to reject that outright assignment if he chooses. The 34-year-old Mancini returned to MLB earlier this month after a nearly […]

Four games and four wins. That’s the track record of today’s starter for the Dodgers, Eric Lauer, as he gets ready to face the Twins in a second straight appearance against an American League team.

Series Timing. The series timing is better than expected for the Diamondbacks. Recently, the Cardinals had a 3-game losing streak (17-19 June). Last season, they collapsed in July (8 wins, 16 losses), and this season they seem to be starting their collapse in late June. Let’s compare the teams. Offense. This season through 19 June, […]
It’s kind of hard to believe that the final West Coast swing of the season has finally arrived and the season hasn’t even hit the All-Star break yet. Whether you consider that to be a blessing (that this won’t come in August or September) or a curse (that it’s usually rough going out there no […]
The Father's Day crowd in downtown Detroit was likely unanimous in its disappointment that Keider Montero was on the hill for the Tigers. It's nothing personal against Keider, but until a few days prior, this game against the White Sox was looking far more momentous. Justin Verlander, finally healthy again, would be appearing for the first time at home in a Tigers uniform since he was traded to Houston in 2017.
Except Verlander wasn't quite healthy again. Despite a couple of rehab outings w...

It’s been a bit since Buster Posey last made public comments.
