As to be expected, they are in last place in the American League West, and they are a game and half behind the lowly Colorado Rockies (the Rockies do have a considerably worse run differential (-63 vs. -79)). The Boston Red Sox swept through Anaheim, taking all three games pretty handily. On Friday night, the BoSox won 5-2, with the Angels getting two meaningless runs in the eighth inning. On Saturday, Boston scored three in the first and never looked back on their way to an 8-1 victory. The Red Sox did not take batting practice on the field prior to Sunday ev

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred is pushing a cap system for the league, something that hasn’t occurred since 1994. The question is, why now? (Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty Images) Getty Images Major League Baseball has yet to hit the All-Star break in the 2026 season, and already the league and MLB Players Association are locked in a battle over whether the league’s desire for a salary cap system will be part of the next collective bargaining agreement when the current one expires on December 1st. The big question is, why now? In 1994, the league’s owners first sought a salary cap. The impending strike by the players over the issue canceled all of the 1994 postseason, including the World Series. After 232 days, on April 2, 1995, it concluded after then U.S. District Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor issued an injunction blocking team owners from unilaterally implementing the elimination of fre

ST PETERSBURG, FLORIDA – Nick Martinez of the Tampa Bay Rays delivers a pitch in the first inning against the Los Angeles Angels at Tropicana Field on May 29, 2026 in St Petersburg, Florida. (Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty Images) Getty Images How consistent has Nick Martinez been for the Tampa Bay Rays this season? How about allowing two or fewer runs in each of his 11 starts through the end of May? “If he’s not the best pitcher this season, he’s definitely top three,” said teammate Yandy Diaz, who blasted a pair of homers against the Angels on Friday evening in support of Martinez’s latest victory. “He’s been great for us the entire year.” How great? Martinez is 5-1 with a 1.62 ERA. The win at Tropicana Field against the Angels completed a month in which he went 3-0 with a 1.52 ERA in five starts. As sparkling as those numbers are, what might be most impressive was that
The financial regulator signed a similar agreement with Major League Baseball in March and continues to file lawsuits against state-level authorities going after prediction market platforms over sports betting.

(Photo by Ishika Samant/Getty Images) Getty Images After emerging as the best team in the American League to start the season, the New York Yankees are encountering some obstacles. The team has fallen behind the surging Tampa Bay Rays in the division standings as their potent offensive suddenly goes quiet. “In agonizing fashion, the Yankees (26-16) suffered their fourth straight loss — a stretch in which they have scored just eight runs, with their lineup held in check once again Monday after a quiet weekend in which they were swept by the (Milwaukee) Brewers,” Greg Joyce wrote for the New York Post after a recent loss to the rival Baltimore Orioles. “The Yankees went 0-for-6 wit

(Photo by Evan Yu/MLB Photos via Getty Images) MLB Photos via Getty Images The Toronto Blue Jays closed out their series with the Los Angeles Angels on a poor note on Sunday, scoring just one run and losing the game. But they still won the series and are hoping that gives them some better momentum against the Tampa Bay Rays shortly after they were swept by the division rival. As the Blue Jays look to return to a winning record after their blockbuster offseason of additions, their former franchise shortstop is facing an even steeper uphill battle with the New York Mets. “Bo Bichette’s numbers are lagging, perhaps along with his luck,” Mike Puma wrote f
