Jonathan Loaisiga has a bright future in the Yankees rotation, but the organization can’t afford to rely on him too much this season. Injuries to Luis Severino and CC Sabathia have opened up two spots in the New York Yankees’ rotation to start the 2019 regular season. It’s easy to see why the organization might

The idea that either Greg Bird or Luke Voit will start the season in the minors seems crazy to some Yankees fans. It’s clear that Aaron Boone doesn’t care. Aaron Boone raised some eyebrows earlier this spring when he called D.J. LeMahieu his backup first baseman. That made it clear that either Greg Bird or
His issues have been mostly self-inflicted to this point, but now a seemingly minor, accidental injury has become something more severe for Miguel Sano. After years of conditioning issues and related injuries that overwhelmed his talent, Miguel Sano seemed to take action and showed up this spring in great shape. But he also came to
The New York Yankees were truly Bronx Bombers last year, but Aaron Judge and sees potential for more in 2019. Last year, the New York Yankees had 12 players hit double-digit home runs, including six guys who topped 20, on their way to the major league record with 267 home runs as a team. Arguably
Can Mike Trout become MLB’s first $400 million player when he becomes a free agent in 2020?

There are legit reasons to keep him in the minors, but Toronto Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins is trying too hard to talk down Vladimir Guerrero Jr. There’s no doubt Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is the top prospect in baseball right now, it’s just a matter of when he takes over at third base for
One move by Rockies could change the future for at least three other teams. Nolan Arenado is one of the best third-basemen in baseball, and is now being paid like it.

During Black History Month it’s important to recognize the overlooked heroes just as much as the major icons.

The San Diego Padres window of competitive baseball starts now with Manny Machado, but in order for them to make the most of it they’ll need to add starting pitching. We’ve got two trade targets that make sense. The San Diego Padres changed their franchise outlook with one move. And now the script has dramatically changed:
As the trend of “openers” spreads around baseball, more players like the Astros’ Gerrit Cole and Justin Verlander are coming out against it. While the analytically-minded front offices around baseball harp about the benefits of “openers,” some players are beginning to hit back and insist there is still room in the game for conventional starters.
Despite the rhetoric of conservative commentators who plead with players to “stick to sports,” or to “shut up and dribble,” the worlds of athletics and politics have never been separate spheres.

Free agent shortstop/third baseman Manny Machado agrees to a record 10-year, $300 million deal with the San Diego Padres, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

Not even $4.5 million could convince Kyler Murray to play baseball, and now MLB has been dealt another crushing publicity blow. Kyler Murray has officially chosen football over baseball, which begs the question of who will break something first: His baseball agent, the commissioner of baseball, or the guy who drafted him to the wrong
