The Texas Rangers loaded the bases against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Again. And once again they did absolutely nothing with it. The final score was 6-3 to Boston and another golden opportunity went to waste. This isn’t a one off. This isn’t a rough patch. This is a full blown trend — and…
The Philadelphia Phillies have strengthened their farm system by signing veteran infielder Luke Ritter to a minor-league contract and assigning him to Double-A. Ritter, a seventh-round pick by the New York Mets in the 2019 MLB Draft, spent several years in the Mets organization before brief stints with the Los Angeles Angels and Detroit Tigers…
The Philadelphia Phillies have one of the most fearsome top three rotations in all of baseball. Christopher Sanchez, Zack Wheeler and Jesus Luzardo is the kind of 1-2-3 punch that gives opposing lineups nightmares before they even step into the batter’s box. But beyond those three?

Blowing a 29 point lead in the NBA Finals is the kind of thing that breaks teams. Not just in the moment — but in the days that follow, in the locker room, in the warm ups, in the quiet moments before tip off when nobody’s talking but everybody’s thinking the same thing. San Antonio…
The Texas Rangers are still waiting on their number one overall prospect to return from elbow surgery. But while Sebastian Walcott works his way back, someone else just walked into the Dominican Summer League and immediately demanded everyone’s attention. He’s 17 years old.
