3+ min ago (1339+ words) With Trump championing Pete Rose and pressuring MLB's commissioner, the Hall of Fame vote became a referendum on power, memory and whether integrity still mattersSince mid-May, when Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred announced Pete Rose would be eligible for Hall of Fame consideration and explained his specious reasonings behind it, last week's Hall of Fame vote by the 16-member Classic Era committee carried with it a certain air of inevitability for Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds, the two greatest players currently not enshrined in Cooperstown.Rose was championed by Donald Trump, who used his populism to demand the Hit King finally be allowed into the Hall, an honor denied Rose since 1989 when baseball placed him on the permanently ineligible list for betting on games when he managed the Cincinnati Reds. After Rose died in September 2024, Trump then won the…...

33+ min ago (394+ words) Chicago Cubs third baseman Matt Shaw made headlines last season when he missed a critical late-season game to attend a memorial service for right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk. The Cubs, who played a man down rather than place Shaw on the restricted list (due to his ineligibility for placement on MLB's bereavement list), lost that game during their playoff hunt. Shaw had'also been scratched from the Cubs' lineup on Sept. 10, the day Kirk was killed, due to what the club said at the time was a team matter. Shaw later confirmed he missed the game after finding out that the Turning Point USA founder had been murdered. You can probably count Dan Bernstein among them. The former 670 The Score host had some choice words for Shaw after learning that he is speaking at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest 2025 next weekend. Bernstein thinks…...

This was the next day, when Raisel Iglesias was summoned to hold a one-run deficit. This was the next day, when the Braves held a six-run lead into the ninth. Yeah we're not done here. Surely Pierce Johnson can correct things on the road trip the next day. Give him another chance tomorrow, maybe? The Braves lost four winnable games in the ninth and later in the space of a week. Did I mention how the Braves ended up seven games short of the playoffs? From June 1st to July 30th, they gave up 34 runs in the ninth and later. That was third worst in baseball. Yeah, it's dumb to order your bullpen by inning and score. Yes, the cult of the…...

1+ hour, 3+ min ago (514+ words) Dec 13, 2025 | 8:30 AM EST The Yankees are arguably in the middle of one of their worst offseasons in a long time. Outside of bringing back Trent Grisham, they haven't really made any moves that feel impactful. And that kind of mirrors what we've been seeing on the field, too. Since 2009, the Yankees still haven't managed to capture another World Series! Well, typically during George Steinbrenner's era, the Yankees earned the nickname "the Evil Empire." It was famously used by then'Red Sox president Larry Lucchino because they were always aggressive, always spending, and always landing the most prominent names. And why not? The franchise with the most World Series titles was the destination players dreamed of. Surely, the Yankees' reputation doesn't carry the same weight it once did, and it's starting to show. Instead of being the prominent landing spot for star…...

"If a collector wants a seat at this table, then it is going to take a seven-figure check to sit down." The Hall of Famer, who played his entire 18-year career with the Yankees, led the Bronx Bombers to eight World Series and five championships, making him…...

1+ hour, 19+ min ago (824+ words) ORLANDO, Fla." The thing about making a trade or signing a free agent, Chaim Bloom described before leaving the winter meetings Wednesday afternoon, is that despite all the actions needed to make a deal, it's always a results-oriented process. "To some degree, it's binary," the Cardinals' president of baseball operations said. "You have something or you don't." The Cardinals made progress on multiple fronts and even felt some momentum in their trade talks before heading back to St. Louis for what could be a busy week ahead. 'We don't feel like we're building this core from scratch,' says new president Chaim Bloom, who had a lengthy answer on what club owes its committed fanbase. A restructuring of the way FanDuel Sports Network conducts its pregame and postgame shows across most of its system nationally is expected to lead to fewer…...

And when he did, Tessie doubled down on his take from BOSSportsGordo's X handle and said, "Hate relitigating the Devers stuff because it's in the past, but it's hard not to think about what this team could have looked like for the foreseeable future with him in the fold. He's exactly the type of player they're looking for, except he's better. Ugh." " Gordo (@BOSSportsGordo) December 12, 2025 Craig Breslow is clearly taking a lot of heat since the Red Sox lost Alonso to the Orioles. It didn't have to end up this way because Boston already had a player…...
