Shohei Ohtani has reached Barry Bonds territory when it comes to going to any of his stat pages and just laughing while you scroll and look at the absurd numbers he's been able to put up. So here are some special stats: Sarah Langs of MLB shared out that Ohtani has won MVP in each of his first two seasons with a team and he's now only the second player in baseball history to accomplish such a feat. The first one was Roger Maris when he pulled it off in 1960 and 1961 with the Yankees. Ohtani has also won the MVP Award in unanimous fashion for the fourth time. He's in a category of his own there, as he's the only MVP in history to win the award unanimously multiple times.
"The first time in 32 years, I was hoping it would end like that this past World Series. I was ready to give up my crown, I really was. I was ready to relinquish it. I had held it for 32 years ... man, it was this close, this close," Carter said.

There is a somewhat prevalent belief among fans that baseball should be boring. That is, baseball is a sport best suited for the interminable regular season grind of 162 games, and is best viewed at noon with a beer in hand, not in discrete odd-numbered series. Even though dismissing the euphoric potential of postseason baseball is straightforwardly outrageous, there are certain truths to this school of thinking.
M.L.B.'s owners look likely to lock out the players when the collective bargaining agreement expires in December 2026 in an effort to bring a cap to the sport. As the world watches, baseball is in jeopardy. Four more wins and really ruin baseball. The Dodgers top four pitchers all basically came from the market, and not at a small price over $1 billion. Then there's the hitting, buoyed by a trio of M.V.P.s, all L.A. transplants.
Sometimes, a bad call could affect the outcome of an out, an inning, and potentially the entire baseball game. In other cases, a horrendous call could even ultimately affect the entire postseason fortunes for an MLB team. That might have just happened for the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 2 of the ALCS against the Seattle Mariners. With rookie pitcher Trey Yesavage coming off a start for the ages in his MLB Playoff debut against
The Tigers and manager AJ Hinch quietly agreed to a long-term contract extension during the 2025 season, president of baseball operations Scott Harris announced today at his end-of-season press conference ( video link). Harris and Hinch did not specify the length of the contract, but Hinch ostensibly is now signed through at least 2027. Harris effused praise for Hinch, calling him one of the best managers in the sport and saying he hopes to continue working with him "as long as I can possibly work with him."
Pomeranz went 2-2 with a 2.17 ERA in 57 regular-season appearances, with 53 of them coming in relief. He has struck out five without allowing any hits or walks in five scoreless innings this postseason. He has pitched one inning in each of the last three games of this series. Pomeranz was the winning pitcher in Game 3 on Wednesday.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer each drove in a run, and eight Toronto pitchers shut down the New York Yankees in a 5-2 victory Wednesday night that sent the Blue Jays to the American League Championship Series for the first time in nine years. Nathan Lukes provided a two-run single and Addison Barger had three of Toronto's 12 hits as the pesky Blue Jays, fouling off tough pitches and consistently putting the ball in play,
