Bryce Harper again boasts that Nats are baseball’s best – Washington Post
After discussing the two home runs he hit last night with MASN’s Dan Kolko (and using the word “heater” repeatedly), Bryce Harper was asked about Anthony Rendon, Ryan Zimmerman and Jayson Werth returning to the Nats’ lineup. Maybe it’s the Mets series coming up, maybe it’s the new-found confidence with Jonathan Papelbon in town, but for whatever reason, Harper didn’t hold back. “Ah, it makes us the best team in…

During the summer, San Rafael’s Albert Park baseball stadium typically draws around 450 people to watch the minor-league San Rafael Pacifics. On this Tuesday evening, though, there are close to 900 for an independent Pacific Association game against the Vallejo Admirals. There’s a handful of local broadcast news crews as well—but their cameras aren’t trained on the field. Instead, all eyes are on a small monitor at the right edge…
Baseball’s trade deadline tracker: Blue Jays add Ben Revere, Mark Lowe – Kansas City Star
Baseball’s non-waiver trade deadline is at 3 p.m. Friday, so it’s the last time this season that teams can trade players without having them clear waivers.

Pre-Civil War baseball card brings in $179K at auction – Al Jazeera America

The Atlantics were a founding member of baseball’s first organized league, the National Association of Base Ball Players, and reigned as champions from 1859 through 1861, according to Dallas-based Heritage Auction officials.

With baseball’s 2nd-worst record, a lost season for Marlins – FOXSports.com
MIAMI Ace right-hander Jose Fernandez is unbeaten and perhaps stronger than ever after recovering from elbow surgery. Giancarlo Stanton remains one of baseball’s top power hitters.

Radio Free Montone: When Baseball Was A Game – CBS Local
By John Montone, 1010 WINS Every kid who grew up loving baseball in the 1960’s knew this; Mickey Mantle won the Triple Crown in 1956 with 52 Home Runs, 130 RBIs and a .353 batting average. But what was The Mick’s WAR? As a grumpy old baseball fan who’s getting grumpier by the day, I probably should have stopped reading the statistical analysis of the Troy Tulowitzki-Jose Reyes trade as…
