The change was made to discourage tanking, as finishing with one of the worst…

The Los Angeles Dodgers are still in a position to compete despite their quiet offseason. But they could drastically increase their World Series odds by pulling the trigger on a high-profile trade.

Look, I understand my job each week in my quizzes is to educate, illuminate and entertain you (and occasionally frustrate you as you attempt to go 9-for-9).

I can't decide what's more bewildering: That the Red Sox really feel like they did something on Wednesday morning, or that so many of the rest of us don't. The clearest emotion to find is joy for Rafael Devers, his evolution from a 16-year-old Dominican free agent to the unquestioned face of the franchise complete in a shade less than a decade.…

This has been the weirdest free agency saga in a long time. Nothing quite matches it off the top of my head, at least not in baseball.

In the…

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been around for over a century, and over that time, they've managed to win their fair share of World Series (7, to be precise). But in recent years, the team has fallen on hard times. They have made the playoffs three times since 2017 but only won the title in 2020. The Dodgers are hoping for their 8th win this year…
