Texas Rangers don’t need Jacob deGrom to be one of MLB's best teamsThe weirdest part of the news of Jacob deGrom’s impending season-ending Tommy John surgery, which in all likelihood could keep him out of the Texas Rangers’ rotation until the beginning of the 2025 season, is that the first-place team in the American League West doesn’t need him. Is deGrom a massive...

Olympic baseball won’t feature best vs. best and that’s a shame

It’s exciting that baseball is back in the Olympics for Tokyo after having been out of the program in 2012 and 2016.

José Bautista Is Somehow Hitting Fifth For The Mets Tonight<em></em>

Just a few days after the Atlanta Braves told José Bautista that he was too washed up to play third base for them and cut him loose, the once-great slugger has moved across the division to sign a one-year deal with the New York Mets.

José Bautista Shifts Into The "Too Crummy Even To Play Third Base For The Atlanta Braves" Stage Of His Career

José Bautista’s unexpected and endlessly depressing stint as a third-baseman for the Atlanta Braves, kicked-off ominously with a one-year minor league contract in mid-April, has not produced the way anyone involved might’ve hoped: Bautista is hitting a putrid .143 with an alarming .593 OPS in 40 pla...

Dan Duquette: Orioles Fans Hate Jose Bautista, Prefer "Working Class" Players

Over the summer, Orioles general manager Dan Duquette told then-free agent outfielder Jose Bautista that the O’s weren’t in a position to sign him because of how despised he is by Baltimore fans.

Jose Bautista And The Blue Jays Needed Each Other More Than They Were Willing To Admit

In the end, both sides miscalculated. Jose Bautista misread the market for power hitters, and had to settle for what Toronto was offering. The Blue Jays mishandled the slugger they really wanted, and had to settle for the 36-year-old Bautista. It’s not romantic, but it’s a marriage nonetheless: Baut...

What The Hell Is Jose Bautista On About?

The Toronto Blue Jays are down 2-0 in the ALCS after scoring just one run on 10 hits through 18 innings.
