The Japanese slugger was the most sought-after foreign free agent, then statistics came out that he couldn’t hit velocity, and he had to settle for a two-year, $34 million contract with the White Sox. Well, Murakami is proving just about everyone wrong, and currently is tied with Yordan Alvarez for the major league lead in homers with 11. Oh,...

And the Yankees got swept by the Rays, split a series with the Angels, and...

Opening up the homestand with three games against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Mets dropped two out of three to lose the series and fall to 7-6 on the year. While there were some standout moments, a hit-and-miss offense, poor defense, and some bad pitching performances ultimately doomed the Mets. Let’s recap everything in the...

But in a move that was immediately second-guessed by many Mets fans, McLean was pulled by Carlos Mendoza in the...
