Pirates slugger Josh Bell has turned himself into is one of MLB’s most feared hitters and a legitimate MVP contender.

The 25-year-old righty has been the best starter for the first-place Phillies.

Pirates rookie Cole Tucker hit a home run in a place he grew up going to as a kid: the Diamondbacks’ Chase Field. And it’s a moment he won’t forget.

The Giants, in last place in the NL West, are in complete rebuild mode. Everyone, including Bumgarner, is available at the trade deadline.

Their is no love loss between Madison Bumgarner and Yasiel Puig. The Giants ace taunted Puig after game when Puig hit a homer.

Few believed that Fernando Tatis Jr. would be in the majors to begin the season, but the 20-year-old is looking like a five-tool player in his first few weeks.

Boston is off to a 2-8 start to the 2019 season and there have been plenty of troubling trends from their two-week road trip.

The Braves have agreed in principle to the second-largest deal in franchise history with Ronald Acuña Jr., who will receive $100 million over eight years.

Bryce Harper returns to D.C. on Tuesday for the first time since signing with the Phillies. The ex-Nats star expects a mixed reaction from the fans.
