Washington Nationals pitcher Cade Cavalli’s seven-inning, one-run, 13-strikeout masterpiece should stand atop headlines. However, much like hitting 12 batters, which led the league, the right-hander displayed poor control. After striking out Boston first baseman Willson Contreras, Cavalli shouted, “Sit down, boy!” at him. As a result of the taunt, both benches cleared. Worse, baseball’s sad […]

Reds infielder Matt McLain has suddenly increased his defensive versatility. On Tuesday, he entered the game as a pinch-hitter and then stayed in the game in the center field position.

The Red Sox have player 85 games. They have 77 games remaining until the end of the season. But the real end of the season might just be the trade deadline. In that respect, they have just 33 days remaining. That’s only 26 games. Sitting at 37-48, the Red Sox have some work to do […]
Imagine a world where Albert Pujols had become a free agent after only five seasons with the Angels.

The National League Wild Card race is quite competitive. How should each postseason contender approach the trade deadline?
The calendar is about to flip into July, and we're now entering the stretch run of the 2026 fantasy baseball season.
