7:24 AM ET Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email print comment Major League Baseball will play its annual All-Star Game on Tuesday night, and chances are that few — if any — NFL players could have made it. You have to love baseball to be great at it, as with most endeavors. And if you love baseball, why wouldn’t you pursue its longer careers, fully guaranteed contracts and healthier futures? Joe Mauer,…

Every year, MLB’s All-Star game brings together the best players from each league to form two superteams. For one game, we get to see Jose Fernandez as a reliever against lineups in which Mike Trout and Miguel Cabrera hit back to back. But unlike the NBA’s fantasy rosters made real, we never get to glimpse how dominant such a talent-laden squad would be against normal MLB competition. So with a…

SAN DIEGO —€” Even before Monday’s Home Run Derby began, Marlins reliever A.J. Ramos was extolling the legend of Giancarlo Stanton and warning anyone who dared sit near the left-field bleachers to reconsider. Every one of Stanton’s Marlins teammates has a favorite story about the 26-year-old outfielder. They speak of him as if he’s a Greek god sent down from baseball’s Mount Olympus to hit towering homers. In 2016, Bunyan-esque…

It’s the MLB All-Star break, and one story that continues to resonate across the sport of baseball is the play of both the Washington Nationals and their star Bryce Harper. The Nats entered the break with a six-game lead in the NL East and the second-best record in the NL, and Harper has continued to rip the cover off the ball with 19 home runs and 52 RBI heading into…

“There ought not never have been no time called too early.” Troy Maxson, former Negro Leagues baseball star turned trash collector in August Wilson’s Fences. For some of baseball’s greatest players, a time called too early happened before 1947, the year Jackie Robinson integrated Major League Baseball. On Tuesday, when the MLB plays its All-Star Game at San Diego’s Petco Park, I’ll be thinking about those Negro League greats and…

NextVR teams up with Major League Baseball to show the T-Mobile Home Run Derby in virtual reality for the first time.

SAN DIEGO — The small flag stitched to right-hander Dovydas Neverauskas’ jersey Sunday was layered yellow, green and red. He was at Petco Park as the Pirates’ only prospect in the All-Star Futures Game. On his chest, above his heart, were the colors of his home country, Lithuania. Neverauskas, 23, ​tossed a scoreless eighth ​for the World team, which beat the United States, 11-3. He…

He made Peter Gammons tweet “omg.” Perhaps that’s the best way to describe the Internet reaction Cardinals pitching prospect Alex Reyes caused with his Sunday night start in the Futures Game at San Diego’s Petco Park. The flame-throwing 21-year-old righty started and totaled four strikeouts in 1 2/3 innings before other Team World arms got their turn. He surrendered two hits — a triple to Astros prospect Alex…

A baseball team from Central Mexico has much to cheer about after the greater Los Angeles community rallied to help them stay in California to finish their tournament. The Hornets baseball team traveled to California from Aguascalientes, Mexico with the help of a sponsor, but said the sponsor backed out at the last minute, leaving them without money to pay for most of the trip.
