The New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox both arrived at Yankee Stadium on Thursday expecting to kick off the second half of the 2021 MLB season. Instead, a COVID-19 outbreak gave the game a distinctly 2020 feel. MLB officials postponed the Thursday night game after multiple Yankees tested […]
The Texas Rangers are well out of playoff contention and will almost certainly be looking to sell at the trade deadline. At the top of their to-do list could be trading All-Star outfielder Joey Gallo, and there should be no shortage of landing spots for the power batter. Gallo is […]
The Chicago Cubs lost 13 of their final 15 games heading into the All-Star break, including a disastrous 11-game losing streak that took them from the top of the NL Central to eight games back of the Brewers. That could make Chicago a seller at the upcoming trade deadline, with […]
Shohei Ohtani was the main attraction at the 2021 MLB All-Star Game, and FOX focused much of its attention on the Japanese two-way star early in the broadcast while he was still on the field. That culminated in a stylized anime intro before Ohtani’s second at-bat. When Ohtani came to […]

When MLB moved the All-Star Game to Coors Field in Colorado, it created the possibility for the sport’s biggest bats to launch balls to the moon in the 2021 Home Run Derby. And with temperatures high and the humidity low, the sky’s the limit on Monday night. Eight players will […]
On June 24, Zach Davies and three relievers combined for a no-hitter as the Chicago Cubs beat the Dodgers 4-0 in Los Angeles. The win kept Chicago tied atop the NL Central standings, a position they had been in – sometimes even with a slight lead – for most of […]
Jacob deGrom has put together arguably the best first half of a season for a pitcher in MLB history. But unless he keeps up his torrid pace, there’s no guarantee that the New York Mets ace will add the NL MVP award to his trophy collection. deGrom stands out as […]
Given the two-way performance that Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels has produced this year, it would take something special from another player to challenge him for the AL MVP award. But through the first half of the season, Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has put up […]
The price of Bitcoin fell from a high of more than $63,000 in mid-April to a low of less than $32,000 at various times in June. Ethereum peaked at over $4,100, only to fall to under $1,800 on Saturday. And while cryptocurrency prices have begun to rebound, the damage seems […]

Major League Baseball rules already prohibit pitchers from using foreign substances to improve their grip on the ball, but that hasn’t stopped players from flaunting that rule — to varying degrees — for decades.
