4+ hour, 24+ min ago (346+ words) Brett Berard was honest. It stunk for the young winger to learn he was among the Rangers' late cuts after coming into training camp as one of the top contenders for a bottom-six role. Berard's confidence dipped, leading to him going pointless over Hartford's first five games of the season. He also failed to find the back of the net in each of their 14 games. Berard's been able to overcome those struggles, though, leading to him being called up to the shorthanded Rangers. "Getting sent down that late stinks," he said. "I kind of lost a little confidence -- the first few games it was hard to get my game back, but I think it was also a good challenge for my mental toughness to go through a little funk like that. "I think it was a good thing, especially the…...

4+ hour, 44+ min ago (217+ words) Fresh off a second-straight World Series title, Shohei Ohtani already has his sights set on claiming another repeat. Ohtani announced Monday on social media his intention to represent Japan again in the 2026 World Baseball Classic. The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar will compete in the WBC for the second time, with his first appearance in 2023 resulting in Japan winning gold for a third time and his first tournament MVP award. "Thank you to all the fans for another great season. I'll train hard and look forward to seeing you all next year," Ohtani wrote to Dodgers fans in the post confirming his decision. Ohtani's return to Team Japan immediately makes them favorites to repeat following their title-winning 2023 run. The unicorn's most memorable moment came on his gold-clinching strikeout of former Angels teammate and Team USA star Mike Trout, giving him a…...

6+ hour, 17+ min ago (562+ words) In the bottom of the third inning in Game Seven of the World Series, Toronto Blue Jays seven-year veteran shortstop Bo Bichette, battling through a left knee injury that kept him sidelined from September 6 until the Fall Classic began, came to the plate against the Los Angeles Dodgers" Shohei Ohtani " and with one swing of the bat gave his team a 3-0 lead. Bichette"s three-run home run off Ohtani looked like it was going to be enough to bring the World Series trophy to Canada for the first time since 1993. Unfortunately, things didn"t work out that way. The Dodgers chipped away, and by the end of the ninth, the score was 4-4. A home run by Dodgers catcher Will Smith in the top of the 11th held up, sending the Dodgers to their second straight championship and leaving the Blue Jays…...

8+ hour, 45+ min ago (531+ words) The New York Yankees might pretend they're "comfortable" with their 2026 rotation, but nobody in the Bronx is buying it'and apparently, neither is baseball. The trade chatter surrounding Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal, the two-time Cy Young winner, is right back in the headlines after a viral run-in with a Yankees fan sparked fresh speculation. The incident came when a Yankees fan approached Skubal for an autograph on a navy blue Yankees cap. Instead of smiling for the camera and playing along, Skubal delivered the kind of blunt rejection that spreads across Instagram in seconds: "That's not my hat," he said, pushing the cap away before adding, "Get out of here." Cold. Direct. And exactly the type of response that sends Yankees fans spiraling into conspiracy-mode. To Detroit fans, it was loyalty. To Yankees fans, it was denial that sounded just…...

9+ hour, 2+ min ago (147+ words) Now we come to the part of the year where The Boss easily beats his kinder, gentler son, and that is the spending portion of the season. Hal Steinbrenner in so many ways beats his legendary father as Yankees owner. It's almost like Steinbrenner the Second consciously does the opposite of dad, and I think we are all thankful we won't see any nasty and public wars with star players under his stewardship, or certainly suspensions for misbehavior. We also won't see anyone fired four times, only to be brought back four times, and thankfully, we won't see 19 pitching coach changes within 18 years (that actually happened!). But now we come to the part of the year where The Boss easily beats his kinder, gentler son, and that is the spending portion of the season. Access the Yankees beat like never…...

9+ hour, 36+ min ago (508+ words) Nov 24, 2025 | 6:01 PM EST The Toronto Blue Jays know that this winter can't only be about the big-shot players. After coming super close to the World Series title before the Dodgers shut the door on them, Toronto is aggressive this winter. And they have one goal: to get better everywhere. And according to Carter Fruest at the Locked on Blue Jays podcast, there is one name that the front office should circle in red ink'Ryan Helsley, the New York Mets reliever. Fuerst didn't hold back, and his face lit up talking about Helsley and his future in Toronto'he called him a straight-up fireballer. "He throws absolute gas," Fuerst mentioned.

11+ hour, 19+ min ago (476+ words) The only problem? The Blue Jays went rogue. Major League Baseball teams are not supposed to place ads abroad without the league office's blessing, which the Jays did not have. Japan is a scorching hot market for MLB, but commissioner Rob Manfred's office controls international branding there and elsewhere. That's in no small part because MLB wants to avoid a free-for-all between teams trying to grab a slice of a given market. The Blue Jays said they were aware of the sponsorship in advance of the logo being used and that it was not a paid sponsorship. The league office was not involved, people briefed on the advertisement's placement who were not authorized to speak publicly said. The commissioner's office declined comment. It's unclear how MLB will follow up on the matter or whether it would consider any punishment. "We…...
