In the long, glorious history of the New York Yankees, the most decorated franchise in professional sports, it's very difficult to argue for unfair treatment - except in areas where the personal biases of writers are allowed to intervene. The Yankees have been outright dominant over the course of the past century, which means they've created…

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Carlos Baerga always had time for reporters when he played for the Indians. Now he's become one. Baerga, who spent 14 years in the big leagues, hosts a popular podcast in Puerto Rico called "I Love Sports with Carlos Baerga and Friends." During the winter meetings in December, Baerga was first with the news that Cy Young winner…

CLEVELAND - Think about how much has changed in a year. Last January, baseball stood still, and we were left to talk ourselves into Bradley Zimmer, ponder José Ramírez trades and evaluate commissioner Rob Manfred's negotiating tactics. It was bleak. But the lockout ended, Ramírez signed a long-term deal, Zimmer lasted one day of the regular season…

MLB's All-Star festivities are all about bringing the big names together. This also applies to the annual Celebrity Softball Game, which serves as a prelude to baseball's current stars taking the field. Luckily, this harmless bout now carries the same stakes (none) as the actual All-Star Game. This year's celebrity shindig takes on a new format, as…

As a Cleveland native growing up with the 1990s Indians, I got to watch a lineup that had Jim Thome, Manny Ramirez, Kenny Lofton, Roberto Alomar, Carlos Baerga, David Justice, Albert Belle, Sandy Alomar and many other great hitters.

DET vs MEM Dream11: The NBA Preseason is going to end soon and frankly, it is for the better as it means that the teams will get much more serious for what will be the Regular Season in a week. This is when we will see the intensity sky-rocket as teams will be fielding their best possible units. Anyway, to wrap up their Preseason, the Detroit…

ORL vs MEM Dream11: The NBA Preseason doesn't have the same juice as the Regular Season but still, we have seen high-level play with teams finding out their rotations. Mostly, the rotations are set, and what remains to be seen is what deep bench players(read bench warmers) make the cut. Anyway, in this preseason tussle, the Orlando Magic will take…

MEM vs MIA Dream11: The NBA Preseason is in full works, but let us not kid ourselves, Regular Season is more fun and stable. Here, in the Preseason, many major players select their games and even if they are ready to go, they are rested to conserve energy for the main thing, which is understandable. These Preseason Games are more like scrimmages…

There is a case to be made that Daulton Varsho is the best defensive outfielder in Major League Baseball. The 26-year-old Wisconsin native, patrolling both right field and center field for the Arizona Diamondbacks, sits atop the Statcast leaderboard for Outs Above Average (basically a metric that scores players on the likelihood of making a play).…
