Yankees still sorting out pitching roles as playoffs loom

While he's only submitted one performance -- an impressive one, mind you -- since returning from injury, Dellin Betances has dominant career-numbers against some of the Yankees' possible post-season opponents. And that could make all the difference.

How the MLBPA won the battle behind the 1994 players' strike

The notion that the Toronto Blue Jays should simply wash their hands of struggling Aaron Sanchez and accept in return any old half-warm body or, worse, somebody else’s detritus is simply foolish.

Raptors didn't lose in free agency, but Kawhi Leonard certainly won

Montreal idea sets stage for Rays' eventual departure from Tampa

The fact it’s Montreal first out of the gate for an MLB team has Jeff Blair thinking baseball will return to Quebec on a full-time basis maybe faster than originally thought.
