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

LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers' elite starting pitching was the driving force when they successfully defended their World Series title in 2025.

CLEVELAND -- Gavin Williams walked by Guardians manager Stephen Vogt’s office on Thursday night with a message.

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? The team already provided one answer:

Imagine the scene: In each league, two teams have survived the Wild Card round, each waiting in its clubhouse or hotel conference room to learn which club the top seed will select for their best-of-seven Division Series. Perhaps a live reveal show. The live shots capture the humor, the anguish,

ST. PETERSBURG -- Outside of northeast Ohio and the South Side of Chicago, and perhaps the Vatican, there might not be anyone watching Game 5 of the American League Division Series on Saturday night with greater interest than the Rays. Whoever comes out on top of that winner-take-all matchup at

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

CLEVELAND -- The last out had been recorded moments earlier and the Guardians were freshly down 0-2 to the White Sox in this best-of-five ALDS when I passed a club employee in the underbelly of Progressive Field.

ST. PETERSBURG – As he waited in the on-deck circle before an at-bat last Saturday in Game 1 of the American League Division Series, with more than 40,000 vociferous Rays and Yankees fans in attendance at Tropicana Field, Tampa Bay third baseman Junior Caminero remarked to manager Kevin Cash that

LOS ANGELES -- While manager Dave Roberts may not be quite ready to officially rename Edwin Díaz his closer, his actions spoke louder than his words in the National League Division Series. In back-to-back save situations in Games 3 and 4, Roberts handed the ball to Díaz, who converted both

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.

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

LOS ANGELES — As the Dodgers prepare to fly to Milwaukee for the National League Championship Series against the Brewers, Miguel Rojas’ status remains an open question. Rojas, who missed Game 4 of the NLDS against the Braves after exiting Game 3 with lower left back and hip discomfort, underwent

There are plenty of reasons why the Brewers find themselves in the NLCS with a matchup against the Dodgers for a second straight season. Whether it’s Jacob Misiorowski’s breakout, Jackson Chourio’s ascension as a young star and elite playoff performer or Jake Bauers becoming one of baseball’s best hitters this

For the first time in 50 years, the National League Championship Series will feature a pair of 100-win teams, with the 103-win Brewers hosting the 100-win Dodgers starting Sunday night in Milwaukee.
