BOSTON -- To set the record straight, no, Juan Soto does not fly separately from his teammates on a private jet. Soto traveled with the Mets on their charter to Boston on Sunday night, just as he has for every road trip this season. That’s in direct contrast to a

On May 4, “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” featured an in-depth segment on Minor League Baseball promotions, which concluded with an offer that teams couldn’t refuse. “We are willing to use all our resources and stupidity to give one Minor League Baseball team a total rebrand,” said Oliver. “We

CHICAGO – Pete Crow-Armstrong quipped on Friday that it was nice to see the crosstown fans leaving Wrigley Field early. Given the way the Cubs center fielder played throughout this Rivalry Weekend, White Sox fans will probably be happy not to see him for a while. In Sunday’s 6-2 win

KANSAS CITY -- Jac Caglianone is headed to Triple-A Omaha. The Royals promoted their top prospect -- and MLB’s No. 10 prospect, per MLB Pipeline -- from Double-A to Triple-A on Sunday night, and Caglianone will begin his stint with the Storm Chasers on Tuesday night when they go on

MIAMI – Marlins veteran right-hander Cal Quantrill had struck out the side just seven times in 765 1/3 career innings entering Sunday.
