Preliminary signs indicate MLB might be standing firm against decades of loss capped by a stadium-shutting pandemic.

The Pirates are off to a 16-7 start, their best since the 1992 club of Barry Bonds and  Doug Drabek and Co. won 16 of their first 22.

The Athletics stopped caring about Oakland a few years ago as a new stadium never materialized in the Bay Area.

San Diego reached the NLCS without their $340 million and now Tatis returns to a team that has changed dramatically he last played in 2021.

After years of decline, baseball’s new rules for 2023 have opened the door for a spike in stolen bases across MLB.

The Rays can go for a record 14-0 start on Friday at Toronto when they open a three-game series at Rogers Centre.

The Tampa Bay Rays have won 12 in a row, the most to start a season since the 1987 Milwaukee Brewers opened 13-0.

The wins just keep coming for the Tampa Bay Rays, who improved to 11-0 after Tuesday night’s win over the Boston Red Sox.

The Rays became baseball’s first team to start 9-0 since 2003, slugging an MLB-best 24 home runs in the process.

The Orioles were a nice little surprise last year, crawling out of the darkness with 83 wins and a minor threat to win a playoff berth.
