And the White Sox would...

After pitching eight scoreless innings Friday against Cleveland, Sánchez has increased his...
The 2026 MLB season could be defined by one word: Injury. Numerous teams have seen stars hit the injury list mid-way through May — and as a Mets website, you readers don’t need to be reminded of that. The Tigers have seen players such as Tarik Skubal, Javier Baez, Kerry Carpenter, and Gleyber Torres go down, the Yankees have seen Max Fried, Jasson Dominguez, and José...

Remember everything I said about the National League East? Trash that and reapply it to the NL Central. That division through April looks like the real deal. Every single team is above .500 and chock full of talent. The Pirates have finally put together a competent offense behind their rotation, the Reds have finally developed a rotation behind their star-studded infield, the Cubs are mashing...
Remember when nobody wanted Munetaka Murakami? 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...

They’re back in full force, and despite injury to their rotation, it looks like...
The first week of the 2026 season is already in the books. And lots of rookies made impacts with their teams. JJ Wetherholt has looked comfortable with St. Louis so far, taking his walks and holding second base defensively for a young and upcoming Cardinals team. Konnor Griffin signed a 9-year, $140 million extension at 19 and then promptly hit an RBI double in his first major league at-bat...

Baseball began Wednesday night with the Yankees defeating the Giants 7-0, kicking off an exciting 2026 season. The Dodgers still have a target on their heads coming off back-to-back World Series rings, and will look to be the first team to three-peat since the Yankees from 1998-2000. Meanwhile, the...
