Vandy duo lead top draft prospects to watch in CWS

For the first time, the MLB Draft is part of the All-Star festivities in July, moved back from its normal spot in early June. So instead of watching the College World Series players your favorite team just drafted, fans will be watching the players their teams might draft a few weeks later.

MLB players have known for quite a while that some type of crackdown on the use of sticky substances by pitchers was coming. They just didn’t know what it would look like.

The next month will be a messy disaster for Major League Baseball, as the crackdown on sticky substances begins in earnest June 21.

From my earliest times attending baseball card shows, I wondered what it would be like to be the person on the other side of those tables. My itch has been scratched, and I kind of doubt I’ll do it again.

Everything you need to know about voting for the 2021 MLB All-Star Game in Denver.

The best, most consistent source of sporting drama the past week has been Oklahoma City, home of the 2021 Women’s College World Series.

Sometimes, a moment in June feels like the key to playing in October

A huge plate appearance by St. Louis' leader opened the door to a much-needed win. Maybe it will get the Redbirds back to playing like one of the best teams in baseball.

What to know about MLB's 'crisis' with pitchers and foreign substances

Chances are, you’ve heard a lot about baseball’s sticky issue lately. Rumors of "crackdowns" and mentions of "foreign substances" and "cheating" have been common on social media. But what’s it really all about? Let’s take a look.

The Yankees ace put as much movement on his answer as he reportedly puts on the ball.

With his 2,764th victory, La Russa moved into sole possession of second place on the list of all-time managerial wins. With the help of The Sporting News archives, let’s take a look back at the beginnings of what turned out to be a legendary career as a big league manager.

Will the Cubs be buyers or sellers?

Contending in 2021 was a bit of an afterthought for the Cubs this past offseason. But here we are, a few days into June, and the club sits alone in first place in the NL Central, one-and-a-half games ahead of the Cardinals and three up on the Brewers.

Two months into the season should be way too early to start talking about MVP races or Cy Young conversations, but that’s never stopped baseball fans before. So let’s take a look.

How Lou Gehrig described his weakening condition, end of streak to TSN in 1939

Lou Gehrig played what would be his final big-league game on April 30, 1939, at 35 years old. A few days later, the Yankees legend known throughout his playing days as “Laruppin’ Lou” sat down with The Sporting News for an honest, in-depth look at the days and months leading up to the end of his historic streak of 2,130 consecutive games played.

Every once in a while, something happens on the baseball field that makes you stop and say, “Wait, what?”

Don’t equate Weathers’ relative lack of attention with a relative lack of impact for San Diego.

Five Yankees who've fueled the team's surge

The Yankees were once alone in last place in the AL East, five games behind the Red Sox. Now, they’re only a half-game out of first place, a spot shared by the Red Sox and Rays.

The same question is on pretty much every card collector’s mind: “OK, what now?”

La Russa's old-fashioned criticism is outdated

La Russa called Yermin Mercedes' 3-0 count home run a "learning experience." But it’s not the lesson La Russa thinks is being taught.

Heading into the summer of 2021, the trading card hobby is stronger than it has been in decades. Where strength resides, though, conflict often follows. How did we get to this point? There is plenty of blame to go around.

What happens next? The trading card market cannot possibly continue to grow at the same rate it has this past year. Is a bubble bust coming?

In 2019, there were 129 home runs hit after the ninth inning in 208 extra-inning games. Since 2020, there have been only 35 homers hit after the ninth in 123 extra-inning games.

The 2021 season hasn’t exactly played out how the Yankees expected, but they seem to have weathered the early storms. And now, help — in the person of Luke Voit — is on the way.

In an era of new-school approaches to pitching, the Cardinals' righty has become a king of an overlooked — but still very valuable — aspect of the game.

Pujols' best fit after release probably isn't with Cardinals or White Sox

At 41, Albert Pujols is not the player he once was. But these five teams (mostly in the AL) could be a potential landing spot after the future Hall of Famer was designated for assignment by the Angels.

Is a St. Louis reunion in the cards for Albert Pujols? Or maybe old manager Tony La Russa brings him to Chicago to play for the White Sox.

Watching deGrom in person right now is watching greatness, an artist at the peak of his craft.

Here we are, in early May and the entire division is in a collective funk.

Could Trout top 50 homers for the first time? Set a career high for doubles? Crack the 11-bWAR club? Those things are all possible in his Age 29 season.

The most mind-boggling call of the 2021 season happened Wednesday afternoon in the second inning of the Marlins-Brewers game in Milwaukee, and umpire Marty Foster has some explaining to do.

We’re really going to determine full Wins and full Losses by the result of a five-pitch home run derby? Seriously?

Historical context is important. Madison Bumgarner's no-hit game isn’t the first time a pitcher finished a game without allowing a hit and didn't get credit for an “official” no-hitter.

The best part of the first month of any baseball season is the surprises, whether it’s the feel-good comebacks or the out-of-nowhere stars.

We’re back to the long-haul MLB season, so what should we make of unexpected slow starts in 2021?

We have come a long way from sorting baseball cards by team and wrapping them together with rubber bands, folks. So what does all this NFT stuff mean and how can you collect the Topps products? Here's what you need to know.

It's a flawed system, but some of the fixes are pretty obvious.

Trade rumors connecting Nolan Arenado and the Cardinals have bounced around for years, long before the Cardinals and Rockies finally agreed upon a deal that was finalized Feb. 1.

Arenado HR in St. Louis debut caps day where normalcy felt even closer

Thousands of Cardinals fans and one writer were at Busch Stadium for the first time in a long time as the team opened its 2021 home schedule. A post-COVID world felt that much closer.

We thought we’d celebrate that trio by looking at the three best quotes from each movie.

This are not the same old Mets, but this is very familiar problem for the team from Queens, a problem that’s plagued the king of the Mets’ rotation for far too long.

Breaking down the 96-second stretch that ended Gonzaga's title hopes

The Bulldogs were starting what would have been an epic second-half comeback in the national championship game. Until they weren't. The relentless Bears put an end to it in a hurry.

Detroit Tigers rookie Akil Baddoo popped an opposite field home run in the third inning against Cleveland on Sunday, joining pretty select company. He’s the 126th player in MLB history to hit a home run in his first at-bat. It’s a very cool accomplishment.

Ohtani hits triple digits with arm, bat in same inning

Fans were treated to the full Shohei Ohtani on "Sunday Night Baseball" as he showed power on the mound and at the plate.

Major League Baseball announced Friday afternoon that it’s pulling the 2021 All-Star Game and MLB Draft out of Atlanta in response to recent voting legislation passed by the Georgia legislature and signed by Gov. Brian Kemp.

If the Dodgers are going to make it two titles in a row in 2021, their toughest competition is the team two hours south, down Interstate 5 along the California coast.

Admit it. You didn’t even know Pablo Sandoval was on a big league roster this year.

The NCAA Tournament is a time when the rest of the country gets to meet outstanding players who have been playing at a superstar level outside of the spotlight. Here are the most likely small-school stars to join the list of famous Cinderellas in 2021.

The entire 2021 NCAA Tournament is being played in the state of Indiana, a state where basketball is a way of life. And so it’s only natural to think about the movie “Hoosiers,” right?

There has been only one 16-seed in the 81 years since the NCAA Tournament began to beat a 1-seed. UMBC, over Virginia.

Tatis' contract groundbreaking but probably not trendsetting

Make no mistake: This Tatis contract is groundbreaking. But is it trendsetting? Probably not.

Minor leaguers' salary bump welcomed, but MLB still must do better

Minor league baseball players will receive a long-awaited pay bump, starting with the 2021 regular season.

MLB released its COVID-19-influenced health and safety protocols for the 2021 season on Tuesday.

It's not an equal comparison, of course, but it's a fun discussion. Brady has seven Super Bowl titles, and he’s the only NFL player with more than five, but 12 baseball players have at least seven World Series titles and 55 have at least five rings.

There’s a long way to go, but the Dodgers' chance of repeating as World Series champion looks pretty good right about now.

The Cardinals, as you may have heard, made a significant addition this week.

Callaway's behavior was "the worst-kept secret" in the industry because those in the industry determined that it was acceptable for it to remain a secret. That’s inexcusable.

Dustin Pedroia will only be 41 years old when he makes his debut on the Hall of Fame ballot for the class of 2025.

Is anyone actually trying to win the Central? The answer, at least to this point, is clearly no.

Sporting News supports proposal to remove J.G. Taylor Spink name from BBWAA award

Under Spink, The Sporting News was known around the world as “The Bible of Baseball,” a title no one challenged. In reality, though, Spink’s Sporting News was “The Bible of White Baseball” for far too long.

Let’s start with what we know about the ballot for the Hall of Fame class of 2022: One way or another, it’s the last hurrah for Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa.

Let's take a look at the start of Aaron’s remarkable baseball career.

The longtime Dodgers manager spent his career filling up pages of The Sporting News. Here are just five of countless highlights.

Cleveland traded franchise icon Francisco Lindor on Thursday, and absolutely zero people in baseball were surprised.

Here are the nine player who got my vote this year, in alphabetical order by last name: Bobby Abreu, Barry Bonds, Mark Buehrle, Roger Clemens, Tim Hudson, Manny Ramirez, Scott Rolen, Curt Schilling and Gary Sheffield.

A Padres rotation that includes Blake Snell, Dinelson Lamet, Chris Paddock and Zack Davies and possibly Yu Darvish will put other MLB contenders on notice.

Everyone listed here either has an average response time of one day or less, or is part of the “1-day delivery” promise on the site.

Pandemic inspired creativity, charity, reflection among card collectors

Not everyone who got into card collecting this year was fueled by nostalgia or money.

These stars' stats will get a major boost from change in Negro Leagues' status

MLB announced Wednesday that seven distinct Negro Leagues will be given official "major league" status, a long-overdue correction related to the leagues that produced some of baseball’s greatest Hall of Famers.

How did the Cleveland Indians get their name?

From the Jan. 21, 1915, issue of The Sporting News: "The choice is but temporary, however, but will be made permanent if no better cognomen is thought of before the season is over, it being the wish that the team would go out and make a name for itself."

MLB’s desire to reshape, restructure and rearrange the minor leagues hasn’t been much of a secret for a long time.

Even now, as we’ve grown into adults and forgotten some of the simple joys of youth, there’s an overwhelming sense of nostalgia in picking up a baseball bat.

It’s hard to know what to expect from MLB's Virtual Winter Meetings. But it's fun to hope and speculate.

These players will find new teams, though some (many?) will have to wait a long time to find that opportunity.

The Bill Walton listening experience is unique, no doubt about that.

The college basketball season starts on Wednesday. That much we know for sure. But, folks, questions abound.

Here are the first, second and third-team preseason All-Americans, as chosen by Hall of Fame basketball writer Mike DeCourcy.

How the Mets could spend the $20M they'll save from Cano's PED ban

The Mets will have a new second baseman for the 2021 season, but they also just got even more money to play with.

NBA Draft delays forced Panini to adjust on the fly to make 2020-21 basketball cards

It’s hard to produce a set of basketball cards for the 2020-21 season with a release date of sometime in October when the NBA Draft isn’t even being held until November.

What to know about 2020 Baseball Hall of Fame vote

Here’s everything you need to know, from the players on the ballot to how they’re voted on to when the results are announced.

In a sport where retreads are so often the default answer, it is incredibly refreshing to see teams look for new people to fill leadership roles within their franchises.

Over the past eight years, Freeman has received MVP votes every time he’s played at least 75 percent of his team’s games. That’s a decent amount of love.

With the lost revenues in 2020 and the plethora of questions about the 2021 season, this offseason has more uncertainty than any offseason since baseball was on strike in the winter of 1994-95.

There were lots of opinions bandied about on social media after news broke of Tony La Russa's DUI arrest, including one that mattered more than most — free-agent starter Marcus Stroman.

Announcing the hire within a half-hour of the biggest election news of the past few years sure makes it seem like the Red Sox were trying to avoid criticism that might have normally come their way.

Ask anyone in baseball to compile a list of the players they’d want to build a franchise around, the players who are stars on and off the field, and Francisco Lindor is sure to make pretty much every short list.

This, baseball fans, is going to be the strangest offseason in decades.

Now that Chicago owner Jerry Reinsdorf has his manager, what’s next?

Two questions are fair to ask. The first: Wait, what? Also: Why?

The 2020 offseason, like the 2020 regular season, is full of uncertainties. And one of the biggest questions is how teams and players will approach the free-agent market.

The statement released by Major League Baseball on Wednesday afternoon — noticeably unsigned by anyone, it should be noted — was stunning, for a couple of reasons.

Cash pulling Snell from Game 6 is bad look for baseball

Baseball is eternally trying to develop stars, to develop personalities that will attract a larger, younger audience. But depriving fans of watching what could've been a truly special performance is not a good approach to the game.

Five early storylines as MLB's offseason of uncertainty arrives

The MLB free-agent and trade markets should fascinating to follow over the next few months.

Ranking the four most bizarre moments in crazy final day of MLB season

Baseball was this close to ending this strange campaign without the postseason being hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Then a key player tested positive during the clinching game.

How history ultimately judges these Dodgers won’t be known for a while.

Keep Game 5 start more about '20 World Series than Kershaw legacy

The Dodgers left-hander has another opportunity to change the narrative about his pitching in October. More importantly, he can help LA regain control of this year's Fall Classic.

It’s no secret that MLB used to take a rather heavy-handed approach to controlling the sharing/distribution of its highlights. Not anymore.

With Rays, Dodgers tied at 1-1, history shows Game 3 winner has huge advantage

The 2020 World Series is tied, with the Dodgers and Rays each owning a single, very important victory. It’s the 17th time in the past 40 years that the World Series has been tied 1-1, so we thought we’d take a look at how those other series played out.

Clayton Kershaw has never had a swing-and-miss rate higher than he did in Game 1 of the World Series against Tampa Bay.

The Rays, both No. 1 seeds, quickly took care of business in the Wild Card Series, then used their superior depth and strength to outlast spirited challenges to reach the World Series.

The oral history of the most epic World Series swing-and-miss ever

Perhaps the most incredible, jaw-dropping moment of 1990 World Series was one that does not show up in the box score.

World Series predictions

Nobody really has any idea what’s going to happen between the Rays and Dodgers, but here are a few things to keep in mind as the Fall Classic gets underway.

For a franchise that hasn’t won a World Series since 1988, bringing a title home to Los Angeles is the only goal.

Braves bounce-back brewing? How other teams with lopsided playoff losses responded

There have been an even 20 postseason games in MLB history decided by a dozen runs or more. Let’s take a deeper look.

How the trading card industry has boomed during the pandemic

There's only so much Netflix a sports fan can watch to fill time. Enter a rejuvenated trading card market.

The Dodgers are the heavy favorite, but this is October and anything can happen. Braves fans and Dodgers fans both know this well.

San Diego will be back — and better.

We're four games deep into the NL postseason, and the Braves are 4-0 with three shutout victories. Were those fears about Atlanta's rotation unfounded?

Former MLB pitcher Mike Henneman has quite an amazing family story.

Like everything else in this bizarre calendar year, the MLB playoffs will be different in 2020. Here's what to know about the expanded 16-team postseason bracket and how it will work.

How MLB can improve on excitement of playoff schedule

Wednesday was the kind of day a baseball fan could get used to, the type of excitement MLB should strive to replicate every year — just not this exact format.

Here's everything you need to know about MLB's bubble cities, including the rules, locations, COVID-19 testing protocol and the full 2020 playoff game schedule.

Things could get crazy as the shortened MLB season comes to a close.

The first three MLB playoff seeds (1-3) in each league will go to division winners, ordered by record. The second trio of seeds (4-6) goes to the second-place finishers in each division, ordered by record. The final two seeds (7-8) go to the two wild-card teams.

During a normal baseball season, any 60-game stretch would be considered a relatively small sample size when it comes to voting for postseason awards. But 2020 is not a normal season.

Baseball often produces amazing moments and improbable occurrences. And sometimes it produces things that are nearly impossible to believe.

Let’s endeavor to make a 16-team MLB playoff scenario as strong as possible.

Sixteen of baseball’s 30 teams will make the postseason this year. That’s good for the 16, but a special type of disappointing for the 14 clubs that fall short of the cutoff, especially the clubs that hoped/expected to contend for October berths.

When you have a life event in common with a baseball player, it makes for an instant connection — and some interesting stories.

When a franchise with the resources and history of Boston is content not to compete, baseball has a problem.

They’ve had a lot of success over the past three years, but there are a lot of questions looming — and how those questions are answered will determine what the club looks like over the next few years.

The 2020 MLB trade deadline day was surprisingly chock full of news, notes, rumors and deals. And, for at least a little while, things felt normal.

Despite what rumblings on social media might try to tell you, this flurry of activity in San Diego isn’t about the Dodgers.

7 players most likely to be traded

Once upon a time, the 2020 trade deadline had the potential to be a lot of fun. That is no longer the case.

What to know about the MLB trade deadline in 2020

Here is a complete guide to the 2020 MLB trade deadline, including the new date, time and rules to know.

Comment: Listen to players for once instead of raging at them

Athletes are people, not just performers. They sure won't be shouted down by people who live to make pointless, self-serving arguments online.

Fun fact: You can't spell "statistics" without "Tatis."

There's a simple solution to the unwritten rules controversy

There is a very simple solution to this stupid unwritten rules controversy involving Chris Woodward and Fernando Tatis Jr.

Turns out, the big, bad, mean media folks in Cleveland and around the country were not the only ones upset by the reckless actions of Zach Plesac and Mike Clevinger.

Let’s take a look at where we stand, one third of the way through a very bizarre season.

Can Baltimore stick around the .500 mark for the next seven weeks? It’s 2020, and anything is possible.

The perfect answer for what to do with the St. Louis Cardinals does not exist.

Even though the Marlins lost 105 games last year and were picked to finish last in the NL East by pretty much everyone, there were reasons for optimism this year.

Cardinals' COVID-19 outbreak is a needed wake-up call

Despite what you may have read on social media, the MLB season is not on the verge of collapse. It’s really, really not.

Why not really go all-in with the new and unusual?

MLB has opportunity to show Americans how to navigate through a COVID world

What matters now is not how MLB got to this point, no matter how foolish the decisions seem. What matters is how MLB handles this predicament going forward.

The A's essentially have said to their minor-leaguers, "We’re not going to pay you, but you can’t seek employment elsewhere."

We’re used to seeing staggering numbers from Mike Trout, but this one is insane.

To the kids who grew up collecting baseball cards in my era, Bo Jackson was special. So were his cards.

Nearly every summer night, this baseball-loving grandma settled into her recliner and listened to Cincinnati broadcasting legends Marty Brennaman and Joe Nuxhall call Reds games on her radio. But nobody really knew the extent of what she was doing.

It’s a long journey from proposal to playing, largely because so many things that have to happen are out of MLB’s hands.

It’s a long journey from proposal to playing, largely because so many things that have to happen are out of MLB’s hands.

A thousand thanks go out to all of those who humored me by answering these questions. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading their responses, and I hope you do, too.

A dead end between sides could hold massive consequences for the sport.

"The Last Dance" shows only a snippet of Scott Burrell’s fascinating athletic career.

Looking at the best moments of Jordan’s time on a baseball field — with a couple of not-so-great moments, too.

We’re going to recap some of the previous MLB schedule reports and keep track of new ones — and, hopefully, eventually concrete details — as they happen.

Sporting News reached out to folks all across the baseball spectrum — players, writers, broadcasters, MLB front-office types — to see how they’re dealing with our current national quarantine situation. Here is Kevin Millar’s contribution.

I knew I wasn’t alone in missing baseball, so I reached out to people all across the sport with 10 quarantine-related questions and asked for their thoughts.

ESPN will air one game per day, starting with a 1 a.m. ET first pitch on Opening Day. Not ideal timing, but late-night live baseball is better than no live baseball at all.

When talking about Michael Jordan’s impact on American pop culture, the Mars Blackmon commercials take up a large part of that conversation.

The new name, image and likeness rules for college athletes are a frustrating change for certain fan bases that have seen their favorite programs dragged through the NCAA mud for violations that were ridiculous when they happened and would be fully legal in a couple of years.

Just because Trout doesn’t yet have a big October pedigree doesn’t mean he won’t when ESPN finally airs its 10-part documentary on him in 2049.

Even though the results won’t sit well with everyone, the powers that be are certainly satisfied with how the investigation played out.

The Korean Baseball Organization, the KBO, started its preseason on Monday, with no fans in the stands, and the regular season is set to start in a couple of weeks.

When Michael Jordan took a break from basketball, he added a wonderful spark into the baseball-card world.

The late '80s and early '90s produced a ton of now-worthless baseball cards, but some sets remain priceless for nostalgia reasons.

These cards were my childhood, and I still cherish them. So what you’re about to read comes from that place of love. Please remember that. I’m not really angry, just disappointed.

Few golfers have pulled off more magical rounds at The Masters than Tiger Woods.
