CHICAGO -- When the Guardians arrived here this week, facing postseason elimination against the White Sox in the American League Division Series, they knew what awaited them at Rate Field. Cleveland was up against a team whose fanbase had waited a half-decade to witness postseason baseball. The Guardians were entering

CLEVELAND -- Gavin Williams wished he would have taken a bit more time on his run from the bullpen to the pitcher’s mound.

What do you get when you cross a two-time reigning American League Cy Young Award winner with the pitcher who is a shoo-in to win it in the National League this year? You get what’s shaping up to be pretty much the best pitching matchup you could ask for in

With the Division Series in both leagues creating headlines this week, Major League Baseball’s latest proposal to the MLB Players Association included changes to the postseason that would potentially result in even more drama than October typically brings. The league’s latest proposal, which focused on the season structure and playoff

ST. PETERSBURG -- If you had to design a Major League closer from scratch, you would probably prioritize a handful of traits. Poise, obviously, to handle high-pressure situations in high-stakes games. Swing-and-miss stuff, for sure, to minimize the margin for error on the mound. And confidence, no doubt, to never

LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers' elite starting pitching was the driving force when they successfully defended their World Series title in 2025. As the back-to-back champions bid for a three-peat, their four-headed monster of a rotation has already been just as impactful four games into their postseason.

Ahead of his expected move to the United States and Major League Baseball, Teruaki Sato

CLEVELAND -- Had it worked out the way he wanted, Will Venable would not be in the dugout managing the surprising White Sox in the 2026 MLB postseason. Perhaps by now, he’d be on a different bench, trying to reach the NCAA Final Four instead of the final foursome that

CHICAGO -- The White Sox had the chance to close out the American League Division Series two different times in front of their frenzied home fans at Rate Field, but they couldn’t get it done. And so, the big question becomes -- what now?

MLB has announced the complete broadcast schedule for the American and National League Championship Series, beginning with Game 1 of the NLCS on Sunday on FOX. The ALCS is airing on TNT Sports platforms and the NLCS is airing on FOX/FS1, FOX Deportes and FOX One. So far, the Dodgers,

CLEVELAND -- This must be how it had to be.

CHICAGO -- Enough is enough. You can officially put the ‘Can José Ramírez perform in the playoffs?’ narrative to rest. In case anyone thought his epic performance in Game 3 of the American League Division Series might have been a fluke or one-off, Ramírez delivered another legendary moment during a

The National League’s two best teams in the regular season are the last two standing at the end. The 103-win Brewers against the 100-win Dodgers. Who’s ready for a rematch of last year’s NLCS?

Major League Baseball on Monday announced finalists for the 2026 Hank Aaron Award, an honor that recognizes the most outstanding regular season offensive performer in each League. At last year’s All-Star Game in Atlanta, MLB celebrated the 51st anniversary of Hank Aaron’s historic 715th record-breaking home run with a special

CHICAGO -- The big moment seems to find Patrick Bailey. The fact he’d even be in one Thursday night seemed improbable due to the fact that the catcher wasn’t in the starting lineup for Game 4 of the American League Division Series at Rate Field.

MILWAUKEE – With the format going from best-of-five to best-of-seven in the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers, starting pitching just shot up in value.

CHICAGO -- Bringing playoff baseball back to the South Side of Chicago was a primary goal for the White Sox when their 2026 playoff push began in Houston during the American League Wild Card Series. Mission accomplished.

CHICAGO – The Guardians are one win away from moving on to the American League Championship Series. How do they successfully record those final 27 outs? That might be a bit tricky after Parker Messick’s outing on Thursday night. In an ideal situation, Messick would have delivered a gem against

There have been 42 winner-take-all Game 5s in Division Series history since the best-of-five series was added to the postseason docket in 1995, when MLB expanded to allow a Wild Card team from each league. That list will grow to 43 on Saturday, when the Guardians and White Sox play

NEW YORK – Aaron Judge spent most of the past two weeks trying to override the Yankees’ caution about his right calf muscle, an ongoing battle that ended with the captain watching all five postseason games from the bench. With the offseason underway far too early for his taste, Judge

LOS ANGELES -- What do Jim Thome, David Ortiz, Aaron Judge and Kiké Hernández have in common? They have all hit exactly 17 postseason home runs.

If you felt yourself biting your nails or pacing a bit more than usual during the NLDS between the Brewers and Padres, we wouldn’t blame you. We all just witnessed a historically closely-contested series.

SAN DIEGO -- Jacob Misiorowski said he was warmed up and ready to go. Brewers manager Pat Murphy said it was one big deke. And the bullpen catcher, Ty Duvall, was just happy he came through it unscathed. “The bullpen is a little dark out there,” Duvall said. “The ball

SAN DIEGO -- Sometimes, the playoffs come down to a game of inches. Manny Machado smashed a potential game-tying fly ball to deep center field in the eighth inning that would have tied up Game 4 of the National League Division Series if it ... just … kept … going.
