Impact of Reds-Indians-D-backs trade
But this one had a few twists: It was a three-team deal — the Arizona Diamondbacks and Cincinnati Reds were the other two trade partners — and in this one, the Diamondbacks dealt the prospect Bauer and weren’t the ones to land Choo. Instead, Choo landed in Cincinnati, making the Diamondbacks’ haul most curious. […]

Teixeira was in the lineup for the first time this season after tearing the ECU sheath in his right wrist during spring training. “I’m happy with how things went,” said Teixeira, who originally hoped to return around May 1. “It was a little slower than I would have liked.

The 2024 Super Bowl isn’t lacking for storylines and burning questions. Can Patrick Mahomes win his third ring? Will the San Francisco 49ers spoil the party for the Kansas City Chiefs? What’s the over/under on how many times Taylor Swift will be shown or referenced? What’s Lionel Messi doing in this commercial? Well, we already […]

The NFL has Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and an army of rock-star quarterbacks. But baseball? On one level, it seems […]
