ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - The Los Angeles Angels played three miserable months without getting on the type of roll they've hit over the past week.

The MLB Hot Stove's recent days have brought us both the feel-good and feel-bad stories of this offseason.

As Kevin Henry notes,…

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'm definitely not here to bring you down, even in a memorial for those we lost in 2022. I look at it more as a celebration of their lives and hopefully give you something to further remember…

Of all professional sports, none will offer more games for betting annually than Major League Baseball. Every season, the Boston Red Sox play 162 games, minimum.

PHOENIX (AP) - Josh Rojas planted the two-strike bunt seed in spring training after realizing, with his speed, he'd have better odds laying one down than swinging away. Despite the analytics in his favor, the Arizona third baseman had yet to attempt it this season, worried about looking foolish if the ball rolled foul for a strikeout. A pep talk…

Garrett Stubbs was an unlikely hero. At 5-foot-10, 170 pounds, he doesn't look like a ballplayer, and is constantly reminded of that by spectators who call him a Little Leaguer and a bat boy and a clubhouse attendant. He says he hears this just about every time he's on the field but has gotten used to it by now. He's always been undersized, but he…

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.…

After agreeing to deals with the San Francisco Giants and the New York Mets this offseason, Carlos Correa will officially head back to Minnesota on a six-year deal with the Twins.

The New York Yankees and reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge agreed to terms on a nine-year, $360 million deal Wednesday morning.
