MLB and the union will announce several major rule changes, most which will be implemented in 2020.

The worst rule in MLB is about to be obsolete. Beginning in 2020, teams will no longer be allowed to carry 40 players on their roster in September.

There is a fear among left-handed relievers, particularly specialists, that baseball’s new rules requiring pitchers to face at least three batters could result in lost jobs.

One of baseball’s top players is also among the lowest-paid players on his team. What’s the best way to deal with this?

Luis Severino is down, and while the Yankees hold their breath, they may start calling about suitable replacements.

Hall of Fame pitcher John Smoltz says MLB needs to make drastic changes. He proposes a split-season schedule, just as they do in the minor leagues.

Bryce Harper, who was introduced as an official member of the Phillies on Saturday, explains why he chose Philadelphia over the other clubs.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft was snared in a sex-trafficking investigation in South Florida. For Albert Pujols and ex-GM, public awareness is good.

San Diego was told that unless they were willing to talked about a deal for at least $250 million, there was no point in talking.
