Tristan Peters and Jacob Gonzalez have emerged from obscurity this year for White Sox, but that doesn’t mean they’re surprised

Tristan Peters spent a lot of time this offseason thinking about the paltry 12 hitless at-bats he got in his major league debut with Tampa last season. He's admitted he was sweating out the final roster cuts at the end of spring camp, expecting he might start in Triple-A.

Where does Carlos Mendoza rank in Mets managerial history?

Former New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza’s tenure came to an unceremonious end last week, with little more than a passive-voice social media post and a combative press conference with General Manager David Stearns.

Finally, Jake Cronenworth is back

It’s probably indicative of how badly the San Diego Padres missed infielder Jake Cronenworth that after being on the seven-day concussion list since May 5, Cronenworth got three rehab games before the team activated him before their first contest against the Cubs in Chicago. When he was placed on the injured list, Cronenworth had already […]
