Los Angeles' 2025 spending included records for payroll at $345.3 million and tax of $169.4 million for a […]

Jackie Robinson had a forever impact on baseball. On April 15, 1947, Robinson, who was 28, made his MLB debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Then, Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez started walking out to the mound to presumably stop […]

Aaron Judge and Trent Grisham both homered twice and the New York Yankees scored on a game-ending wild pitch in a three-run ninth inning to overcome Mike Trout’s two homers and five RBIs in an 11-10 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night that stopped a five-game losing streak. Judge and Jose Caballero each hit a two-run homer off Yusei Kikuchi for a 4-0 second-inning lead on an […]
