Some years the World Series comes down to the most famous player on the roster, and some years it comes down to the least famous. If we knew which it would be this year, we could narrow our attention to that one part of the field. But the nature of baseball is just the opposite: […]

MLB playoffs 2020: Ranking 35 trades that shaped the Rays, Astros, Dodgers and Braves

Los Angeles Dodgers add LHP Alex Wood to roster ahead of NLCS

Atlanta went with the same 28-player roster it had for its NL Division Series, with 15 pitchers and 13 position players.
