New York Mets ace Max Scherzer is headed back to the injured list, the latest hit to a reeling club that has seen its National League East lead evaporate.

Los Angeles Angels acquire veteran pitcher Alex Cobb from Baltimore Orioles

The Angels will part with young utility player Jahmai Jones as part of the deal. They will pay only a third of the $15 million owed to Cobb in 2021, some of which is deferred, according to The Athletic. Cobb, 33, established himself early on with the Tampa Bay Rays, going 32-21 with a 3.19 […]

MLB offseason: Biggest winners, losers and moves we’d still make

Two of baseball’s big four free agents are off the board. Two remain. With the World Series ancient history and the first pitch of the 2021 MLB season still months away, we’ve reached this offseason’s unofficial midway point. While we wait for the rest of the hot stove action to unfold, we asked ESPN’s Bradford […]

Pittsburgh Pirates each don No. 21 to honor Roberto Clemente

PITTSBURGH — Roberto Clemente’s iconic No. 21 has been a fixture in Pittsburgh for more than 60 years. Its presence has only grown since the Hall of Fame outfielder’s death at age 38 on New Year’s Eve 1972 in a plane crash off the coast of his native Puerto Rico. His jersey remains one of […]

Sources: MLB allows Puerto Rican players to wear No. 21 on Roberto Clemente Day

Which new MLB rules do we love and which should never be seen again?

The 2020 Major League Baseball season was going to be remarkable from the get-go for a number of proposed rule changes. Now that we’re more than a quarter of the way through the season, we have a sense of how much these new rules have had an impact on the game. With that in mind, […]

How MLB’s new three-batter-minimum rule will impact the game

So how exactly will this work? Based on reports when the rule was introduced in March, pitchers will be required to either face a minimum of three batters or pitch to the end of a half-inning, with exceptions to be made in case of injury or illness. Currently, Rule 5.10(f) states that the starting pitcher […]

The end of the lefty specialist? Why MLB’s three-batter rule might not mean what you think

It’s fortunate for Perez that the deal was signed when it was, late last January. Two weeks later, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported that in 2020, Major League Baseball would likely require pitchers to face three batters, or get the final out of an inning, before they could be removed. Perez had 22 outings in 2019 […]
