It’s only been two weeks since Opening Day, but there have already been so many great storylines during the 2025 season. Every team has seen at least one promising development here in the early going, with many already paying major dividends. With the help of MLB.com’s 30 beat writers, here’s

PITTSBURGH -- Pirates catcher Joey Bart didn’t know who ran into him or where the ball was at the moment, but the game was on the line and he needed an assist. In the eighth inning of Wednesday’s contest against the Cardinals, reliever Caleb Ferguson appeared to have gotten out

Who are the top aces in baseball right now? That sounds like a simple question, but the reality is more complicated. How much should career track record factor into your thinking? How much credit should a pitcher get for 2024 accomplishments, now that the calendar has flipped to 2025? How

Team USA has its leadership in place ahead of the 2026 World Baseball Classic. On Thursday, USA Baseball announced that Mark DeRosa will return to the dugout to manage the United States at the 2026 WBC, marking his second consecutive stint leading the stars and stripes at the Classic. DeRosa

DETROIT – First baseman Paul Goldschmidt has made a big impact in the early stages of his first season with the Yankees. He’s leading New York with a .383 batting average after Wednesday’s 4-3 win over the Tigers, and he has been one of the club’s most dependable players and

Who needs a bat when you've got two perfectly good legs? Emaarion Boyd ran himself into baseball history on Wednesday night and he did so without hitting a ball out of the infield. The Marlins outfield prospect wreaked havoc on the basepaths, stealing six bases without the benefit of a

Baseball fandom is often shared across a family, and sometimes prowess at the sport is, too. We’ve covered the best father-son duos in baseball history, but what about players across the same generation? Oh, brother. There have been more than 400 combinations of siblings who played in MLB -- that’s

Pablo López, Royce Lewis and Brooks Lee, Twins López has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 right hamstring strain and is expected to be placed on the 15-day injured list. He suffered the injury in his April 8 start vs. the Royals. Lewis (left hamstring strain) started his running progression

KANSAS CITY -- One of baseball’s best defensive outfielders and maybe the game’s fastest player went head to head on a very entertaining play in the Twins’ 4-0 win against the Royals on Wednesday night at Kauffman Stadium. With Royals superstar Bobby Witt Jr. on second base with one out

The catch that Marlins center fielder Derek Hill made on Tuesday was billed as an early catch of the year candidate, and one that frankly would be hard to top. So is it possible that his own teammate -- and fellow center fielder -- one-upped him less than 24 hours

SAN FRANCISCO – One of the more surprising stats to come out of the Giants’ 9-3 start is how many roster moves that president of baseball operations Buster Posey has made since Opening Day involving the Major League squad. Zero.

WEST SACRAMENTO -- No Jackson Merrill, no Fernando Tatis Jr., no Jake Cronenworth -- no problem for the Padres on Wednesday. They became the first team in the Majors to reach 10 wins this season with their 2-1 victory over the A’s at Sutter Health Park -- despite missing a

SEATTLE -- Randy Arozarena didn’t care that the Mariners were being shut out in the eighth inning on Wednesday afternoon, didn’t care that they were on their way to another deflating defeat against their division rivals and didn’t care if what happened next might be deciphered as showboating. He was

ATLANTA -- Trea Turner can’t explain why, but he has hit Braves closer Raisel Iglesias well in the past. It’s probably not luck, but Turner isn’t sure beyond that. He only knows he barreled Iglesias’ first-pitch slider in the ninth inning of the Phillies’ 4-3 victory over the Braves on

DENVER -- Great things come in fives. At least, that’s how the Brewers felt after Wednesday night’s 17-2 win over the Rockies at Coors Field. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it marked the first time in franchise history that the club scored five or more runs in three innings

WASHINGTON -- Just four batters into Wednesday's series finale, the Dodgers had already staked a four-run lead over the Nationals. It appeared to be an auspicious start for a team that sorely needed something to feel good about to wrap a tough road trip. But Washington wasted little time in

DETROIT -- As Max Fried made the long walk across Comerica Park’s outfield towards center field Wednesday afternoon to begin his pregame warmup routine, the Yankees left-hander caught a glimpse of high-school teammate Jack Flaherty doing the same on the Tigers side. They’d seen each other in their Major League

We are not only rolling on all cylinders in the Majors and the Minor Leagues right now, but the college baseball season as well. In December, MLB Pipeline's Jim Callis put out his first official mock draft for the 2025 class, but a lot has changed since then. The evaluation

BOSTON -- It’s been 50 days since Vladimir Guerrero Jr. strolled out of the clubhouse in Dunedin, Fla., and turned right, steadied himself in front of the cameras and broke some hearts. No deal. Vladdy’s deadline of Feb. 18 had come and gone and the Blue Jays weren’t close, he

TAMPA -- In the seventh inning of the Rays’ 4-3 loss on Tuesday night, Junior Caminero ripped a fastball from Angels reliever Ben Joyce over the right-field fence. He slowed down and shook his head as he completed his trip around the bases, looking to the sky and softly pounding
