Working the Aug. 29, 2025, Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks game on his 70th birthday, Phil Cuzzi became the oldest umpire in MLB history.

In hopes of getting the umpire’s calls right, the system lets players initiate a challenge. Like the DH and the pitch clock, it’s a bid to improve the game.

Minnesota finished 18 games behind Cleveland in the AL Central last season, and the Twins will need career years from their starters to keep pace in 2026.

Two-time defending-champion L.A. has blueprint for winning three consecutive titles.

With aces Skubal and Valdez, plus a returning Justin Verlander, Detroit has assembled a potent rotation. But keeping the pieces together won’t be easy.

In his four seasons playing baseball for the West Point Black Knights, Derek Berg was part of four NCAA Division I Patriot League championship teams.

Among the items he’s often asked to sign are trading cards. An Adley Rutschman card can fetch a bundle.

The Pittsburgh Pirates legend, after an all-star filled 17-year MLB career, was inducted in 2001 into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Max Scherzer had a good postseason, Jesse Winker could help any team in need of a bat, and starter Lucas Giolito is one of the top power pitchers in the game.

Among pitchers, Tigers’ closer Kenley Jansen needs only two saves to tie Lee Smith with 478, trailing only Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman.

MLB umpires in 2026 are expected to strictly enforce a rule requiring first- and third-base coaches to remain in their designated boxes.

The three-time MVP said ‘some good things are going to happen’ if he’s able to fully utilize this new skill in the 2026 MLB season.

Splitting the past two seasons with the Chicago White Sox and their Triple-A affiliate, pitcher Mike Clevinger is in Florida seeking to land an MLB contract.

Pittsburgh Pirates’ Don Kelly is among the most qualified MLB managers, having served as player, scout, coach, and player development assistant.

In their 28 seasons playing home games in St. Petersburg-based Tropicana Field, only once has the Tampa Bay Rays topped MLB’s average attendance mark.

The Chicago White Sox had a busy off-season. Seven key player acquisitions should bolster the club’s roster and better its 2025 60–102 record.

Still in search of his first American League MVP and the first Cleveland World Series championship since 1948, Jose Ramirez is committed to accomplish both.

The San Francisco Giants will be a stronger team defensively in 2026 with the signing of Rawlings Gold Glove Award center fielder Harrison Bader.

Kimbrel ranks fifth all-time among MLB relief pitchers with 440 saves, but his 2025 season was not promising. Can he help the retooled Mets reach the playoffs?

Los Angeles Angels rookie manager Kurt Suzuki’s 2026 bench coach John Gibbons managed in Toronto for 11 seasons.
