Stephen Vogt announces he will retire after 2022 season

Stephen Vogt will retire after the 2022 season. He played for six teams in 10 seasons, including the Braves and the Rays. Vogts played with the A's for the last few years, and he's a two-time All-Star. His greatest contribution has been as a leader in the clubhouse. He's batting .168 with six home runs and 22 RBIs on the season, but he has six more games at the Coliseum. The A’s have a young, promising catching staff, with Sean Murphy and Shea Langeliers. Some of Vog's teammates have pegged him as the next manager.

Bo Bichette has become the Blue Jays’ leader. Here’s how

For someone who once played through the agony of an undiagnosed ruptured appendix for a fortnight, it's not surprising that Bo Bichette would ignore a niggling pain in his quadriceps muscle, anxious to stay on the field.

Some Orioles players ignore the predictions. Others use them as fuel.

SARASOTA, Fla. - Anthony Santander considered it, then shook his head slowly at the mere suggestion. "Expectation? Nah," Santander said. He has no use for that word. "I don't like expectation and I don't like prediction." But he still hears both, whether he wants to avoid them or not. It's impossible to be in the Orioles' clubhouse, or turn on the…
