This week in MLB: Shohei Ohtani stirs controversy; Mariners' tough spot is bad for game; Juan Soto takes NY
Maybe GM Jerry Dipoto is trying to make that 54 percent a real challenge. ...
Why is Juan Soto such a burden?
Juan Soto might be the best hitter of his generation. In the past 53 years, only six players have accumulated more fWAR than Soto has before hitting age 25.

(Ag...
It’s up to you New York — Yankees to get healthy
It hurts to watch the New York Yankees right now. And if you play for the Bronx Bombers, chances are, you’re also hurt. (If you’re healthy, don some bubble wrap or some shit so you don’t end up breaking or pulling something.) The Yanks — decimated by injuries — are 17-15 and sitting in last place in...
Is it finally time for the Toronto Blue Jays?
Once the Toronto Maple Leafs get Andrei Vasilevskiy’d in the first round again, it’s not like the angst level in the T.O. will fade all that much through the summer months.
