After waiting until a month after the World Series for the winter meetings to get the ball rolling, Major League Baseball's free-agent spending spree has been something of a runaway freight train. There have already been 30 free agents who signed contracts with an average salary of at least $10 million. And, no, we're not just talking about the New…

The 1982 Royals, coming off two consecutive playoff appearances, were starting to age. Six position players who saw action in at least 120 games, and all four starting pitchers, were over the age of 30. The Royals served a lot of coffee in 1982 and these were the players who got it. I'm always a bit fascinated by the stories of players who appear…

With less than a month of baseball left in the 2021 season, the Milwaukee Brewers have several players who merit mention in the postseason awards.

Milwaukee doesn't figure to have a…

The MLB free-agency and trade market dominoes have continued to fall at a dizzying pace since the lockout was lifted as teams try to fit three months' worth of offseason activity into just a few weeks.

There are no two better words in all of sports than "Game 7," and that is just for a normal playoff series. The 2016 World Series between the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians is no normal series. The Cubs famously haven't won a championship since 1908, while Cleveland's last World Series title came in 1948. One of those teams will end decades of…

From 2013 through 2020, the National League West belonged to the Dodgers. Sure, there were scares -- they even had to play a Game 163 once -- but they took the crown every single time. It's easy to forget that last season the Giants actually won the division, despite the Dodgers winning 106 games. Right now, the Dodgers are again toward the top,…

The Post's Mark W. Sanchez previews the NL West O/U wins: 97.5 Key player: Mookie Betts. For the Dodgers to be historically great - which is a real possibility - they could use their $365 million man in peak form. The right fielder was merely very good (.854 OPS) but not great last season, and the lineup is even more ludicrous with the addition of…

The Houston Astros and St. Louis Cardinals will try to join the San Francisco Giants and Boston Red Sox as two-time World Series winners this decade.
