Baseball needs to figure out what it wants the game to be

On the field, we certainly will remember the action; the Los Angeles Dodgers — always dominant yet curiously, at the worst possible moments, just human enough to lose — were finally champions of a season that began bitterly in the wake of the Houston Astros cheating scandal and with commissioner Rob Manfred calling the World […]

Seattle Mariners’ Kyle Lewis awarded American League Rookie of the Year in unanimous vote

Much like one of his lofty leaps at the wall, Kyle Lewis soared above the field. The center fielder for the Seattle Mariners won the American League Rookie of the Year award Monday night. Lewis, 25, received all 30 first-place votes in balloting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. He is the 12th unanimous […]

One great moment of the 2020 MLB season for all 30 teams

Before the 2020 MLB season began, when we wondered whether the World Series champion would get an asterisk for the season being so short/anomalous/weird, I predicted this: The winner would be seen as just as legitimate as in any other year, especially with an extra round of playoffs making the October run that much harder.

Mets’ Jacob deGrom, Dodgers’ Mookie Betts in the mix for historic NL awards as finalists named

New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom is going for his third consecutive National League Cy Young Award, and Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts could become the second player to win the MVP award in each league.

Francisco Lindor’s uncertain future with the Cleveland Indians — and his greatest victory

Picking the second-best day of Francisco Lindor‘s tenure with the Cleveland Indians is a daunting task. Maybe it was the night in 2017 when Lindor slammed a double to extend Cleveland’s winning streak to 22 games, or perhaps it was the day when he hit the home run against the Boston Red Sox in the […]

MLB Power Rankings: The 2020 MVP for all 30 teams

As we enter the final week of the regular season, the playoff field is taking shape, as are ESPN’s Power Rankings. After a period where they slipped out of our top five (and nearly slipped out of a playoff berth), the Yankees righted the ship and have looked like the powerhouse most expected to see […]

San Diego Padres back in playoffs for first time in 14 years

SAN DIEGO — After 14 long years, the San Diego Padres are back in the playoffs, this time with a cast of stars who never flinch when they get down. The Padres beat the Seattle Mariners 7-4 on Sunday with a three-run rally in the 11th inning that included a go-ahead double by newcomer Mitch […]
