Last night’s battle between the @Yankees and the @astros proved that baseball is a game of inches. The Yanks may come to regret losing this one. @ForbesSports @IBWAA

A bunch of calls went against the Yankees on Wednesday night as they blew a lead, a game, and a chance to make up ground on the Toronto Blue Jays.

The @Dbacks right fielder, @corbin_carroll, is trying to join a club with only 4 current members. Can he speed his way there? @ForbesSports @IBWAA

Corbin Carroll is just four triples away from becoming the fifth player in MLB history to have 20 doubles, triples, home runs, and stolen bases.

For the first time since 2023, Clayton Kershaw won 5 games in a calendar month. It was the 8th time he has done that, but this time was markedly different. @ForbesSports @IBWAA @Dodgers
forbes.com
For only the second time since 2017, in August Clayton Kershaw won five games in a single calendar month; and he did it by throwing way fewer pitches.

The @Orioles have a chance to play spoiler over the final 6 weeks. They failed against the @RedSox, but they still play the @Yankees @Dodgers @Padres and @BlueJays. @ForbesSports @IBWAA

A lost season for the Baltimore Orioles still gives them a chance to impact the playoff race in both leagues over the final six weeks.

The @Dodgers swept the @Padres, but then lost to the @Rockies. Not all is right, and their lack of hustle may be hurting them. @ForbesSports @IBWAA

The Dodgers swept the Padres to retake first place, but a lack of hustle and some poor defense is keeping the Dodgers from reaching their full potential.

The @Padres start a 3-game series against the @Dodgers tomorrow night, leading their rival to the north for the first time since April. Things could get very interesting over the next 10 days. @ForbesSports @IBWAA

The Padres have not been alone in first place since April, and have not been in first place this late in the season since 2010, and yet they lead the Dodgers by one game.

Friday night at Dodger Stadium, Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer faced off 17 years after doing so as rookies. A lot has happened since that first meeting. @Dodgers @ForbesSports @IBWAA @BlueJays

The @RedSox locked up future franchise stalwart Roman Anthony for 8 years, giving him a $130M deal that could escalate by nearly another $100M. Good on him/them. @ForbesSports @IBWAA

In keeping with a theme, the Boston Red Sox have signed another one of their young stars to a long-term extension, locking up Roman Anthony for 8 years and $130 million.

The @RedSox didn’t have an active deadline, but not for a “lack of effort.” Whatever they did and are doing seems to be working. @ForbesSports @IBWAA

Craig Breslow claimed he had more money to spend at the deadline after trading Rafael Devers, but he only acquired two players, to the dismay of Red Sox fans.

The @Dodgers had a quiet trade deadline, getting only 2 proven big leaguers. With players getting healthy & others starting to hit, it may be enough. Or not. If the latter, critics & fan will pounce. @ForbesSports @IBWAA
forbes.com
The Dodgers had needs to fill at the trade deadline, but elected to essentially go with their existing roster, adding only pitcher Brock Stewart and outfielder Alex Call.

The @Twins tore it all down with a massive fire sale at the @MLB trade deadline. They even shipped Carlos Correa back to the @astros. @ForbesSports @IBWAA
forbes.com
The Minnesota Twins conducted a fire sale this week, trading 10 players - nearly 40% of their active roster - including shortstop Carlos Correa.

Baseball lost a legend yesterday. Ryne Sandberg played the game the right way. He was your favorite purist’s favorite player. A Hall of Fame second baseman and person. Cancer sucks. @ForbesSports @IBWAA @Cubs
forbes.com
Ryne Sandberg, a Chicago Cubs legend who played sixteen years in the big leagues, won an MVP award, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2005, died at the age of 65.

For all us olds out there, 45-year-old Rich Hill pitched for the @Royals - his 14th team - last night, against the @Cubs, the team he made his @MLB debut with 20 year ago. @ckamka @ForbesSports @IBWAA

At age 45, Rich Hill pitched in Chicago for the Kansas City Royals, his 14th team, which ties a MLB record.

The @MLB #All-Star game is tonight. Great players will be on the field. But, because of a poorly timed voting process, deserving players won’t be there, and vice versa. That should change. @ForbesSports @IBWAA
forbes.com
MLB's All-Star voting is rife with ballot-stuffing and occurs far too early to reflect the players that truly deserve to be all-stars; they need to push it back.

Before the @Dodgers began to get blown out by the @SFGiants for their potential 7th loss in a row, I wrote about starting to get worried a this team/season. @ForbesSports @IBWAA
forbes.com
The Dodgers have lost six games in a row for the first time in six years; they injuries to their pitchers and hitters; and Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts are not hitting.

Last night, Dodger Stadium hosted history. @Dodgers vs @whitesox. Clayton Kershaw joined an exclusive club. It took 6 innings & 100 pitches for him to get no. 3000. It was worth the wait. @ForbesSports @IBWAA
forbes.com
Clayton Kershaw becomes the 20th pitcher to record 3,000 strikeouts, becoming only the third left-hander to do it, and becoming only the fifth to do so with one team.

The @RedSox went to SF to play the @SFGiants, where their former star now plays. I was there to witness it, & give context to the relationship & all of the stories already written about what went wrong. @ForbesSports @IBWAA

With the Red Sox in San Francisco this weekend, Rafael Devers is playing against his former team less than a week after he was unceremoniously traded away.

The business of @TheSavBananas is booming. They have various revenue streams, and are excelling at every level. This is my third in a series on the team. @ForbesSports @IBWAA

Each year the Savannah Bananas sell more play in more parks, sell more tickets, entertain more fans, in more cities across the county. Their business is booming.

Shohei Ohtani was back on the mound for the first time in nearly two years. I was there to take it all in. @ForbesSports @Dodgers @IBWAA

Shohei Ohtani returned to the mound for the first time since 2023, pitching an inning in his 2025 Dodgers debut—and delivering at the plate too.

The @Rangers are starting to get hot - winning 6 of 7 - and that is no small part because Marcus Semien has turned the corner after a very slow start. @ForbesSports @IBWAA
