With Mets star Pete Alonso hitting free agency next year, his new sports agent, Scott Boras, has weighed in on Alonso’s payday. “I don’t think those recent contracts, certainly negotiated by others, are really relevant to anything that has to do with what’s going to happen in the future. Particularly with Pete Alonso,” Boras told The Show podcast. Clues about how much Alonso will get paid come from players such as Matt Olson and Freddie Freeman, who were around Alonso’s age when they received big-money contracts. At age 28, Olson signed an eight-year extension with the Atlanta Braves worth $16...

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager was named the World Series MVP for the second time Wednesday. Over the course of the five games, Seager hit three home runs to lead the team to several key victories. “It truly is incredible,” Seager said after the game. “But it’s not just me, man. What this team did and how we competed and all the guys in there rallying, we don’t really have one leader. That whole clubhouse is the leadership.” Seager deflected direct praise, but without his home runs in Games 1 and 3, the Rangers would have had significantly more trouble getting past the Diamondbacks in su...

Someone should inform the residents of Tampa, Florida, that their baseball team just got knocked out of the playoffs. They probably won’t be too distressed. The Tampa Bay Rays lost Game 2 of the American League Wild Card series Wednesday to the Texas Rangers, who will advance to the ALDS to face the Baltimore Orioles. The Rays played very poorly in both games, losing 4-0 and 7-1, finishing a 99-win 2023 season with a bitter 0-2 sweep. But with so little occurring on the field, the crowd (or lack thereof) became the story of this series. In Game 1 Tuesday, the Rays reported an attendance of 19,...

New York Yankees center fielder Jasson Dominguez underwent Tommy John surgery Wednesday to treat a torn UCL he suffered on September 10, just nine days after he was called up to the big leagues. Dominguez appears to be recovering well but will not be able to appear on the field again for at least nine months. The rookie outfielder, who batted .258 with four home runs in 31 at-bats during his brief stint, claimed that he was “bionic” in an Instagram post sent out shortly after his surgery. The accompanying photo is of him in his hospital bed. In the comments section, the Yankees wished him a sp...

The Seattle Mariners defeated the Oakland Athletics 5-4 Wednesday in a sloppy back-and-forth contest to win their 21st game in the month of August. In doing so, the team set a franchise record for wins in a single month and has catapulted back into the hunt for a division title. After dropping a game to the A’s Tuesday, the Mariners nearly dropped the series Wednesday when they fell behind 3-0 in the second inning. The team trailed again later on but tacked on two runs in the bottom of the seventh and eventually closed out the game. “There’s like 60 days in August isn’t there? I wish there was...

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner made an undisclosed financial contribution to the team’s advertising campaign in order to send a thank you message to fans on seven local billboards. They simply read, “Thank you, Philly,” a message Turner felt was necessary after fans cheered him on through a profound slump at the plate. “I think it was nice to get the message out there and say thank you,” Turner said Monday. “I said it in interviews and whatnot, but I think it was just another nice gesture.” After a rough start to his first season in Philadelphia, Turner began receiving unexpected ...

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks underwent Tommy John surgery Wednesday, ending his 2023 season. Hendriks made just five appearances for the team, earning one save. Hendriks returned to the majors in late May just four months after he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, one of the most common types of cancer. He received a standing ovation from White Sox fans in his first appearance against the Los Angeles Angels. “These past 5 months have been both the quickest and slowest of my life,” Hendriks said in a post on Instagram after he was diagnosed cancer-free. “Being able to...
