LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers insist they’re in this season for the long haul, unwilling to change what got them to 92 victories. At the same time, manager Dave Roberts is searching for something, anything, to get his team out of its funk. “I’m open for suggestions,” he said after the NL West leaders lost

BOSTON — Mookie Betts awoke in Seattle on July 25, the morning after the Boston Red Sox were held to four hits and shut out for the ninth time in 101 games, and tweeted a picture of himself with David Ortiz. The last line of Betts’ 94-character caption, complete with emojis and a hash tag,
BOSTON — Chris Sale barely broke a sweat, which was precisely the point. Sale has made 29 starts and logged nearly 200 innings this season for the Boston Red Sox.

At one point, the answer to who would win the American League’s MVP award seemed like a foregone conclusion. Aaron Judge was the runaway favorite when he posted 30 home runs before the All-Star break. But his recent struggles have significantly decreased his odds. Mike Trout‘s season appeared to be derailed by injury, but his

All 30 teams contributed to the Hall of Fame’s effort to raise money toward its goal of $30 million. The hall has now raised $22 million. Since it opened in 1939, the Hall of Fame has operated on
A few months ago, Gene Michael leaned against the railing in front of the New York Yankees‘ dugout, looking a little disheveled, as always. The baseball caps he wore always seemed ill-fitting — I could never figure out if they were too big or small — and his shock of white hair usually needed a
