Cody Bellinger evokes 2019 MVP prowess with 2-run double in Dodgers’ Game 2 win

For a brief, fleeting moment — the amount of time it took Giants reliever Dominic Leone’s sixth-inning fastball to travel from his hand to the plate — Cody Bellinger looked like the guy who was the 2019 National League MVP. Bellinger was balanced and quick, two elements of successful hitting that have eluded him all season. The result was a two-run double to left-center that put the Dodgers ahead 4-1 and set the stage for what became a 9-2 victory in Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Saturday. Bellinger hit .165 with a .542 OPS this season, unfathomably bad numbers for a player who […]

Los Angeles Angels have no plans to shut down Mike Trout for season

Los Angeles Angels general manager Perry Minasian reiterated Wednesday that there aren’t any plans to shut down star outfielder Mike Trout for the rest of the campaign. The three-time American League MVP has not played since May 17 after going on the injured list with a right calf strain. The original prognosis was six to eight weeks, but Trout has been out of the lineup for 12 weeks since sustaining the injury. Wednesday marked the 75th match that Trout missed, which is his longest stint of missed games in his 11-year career. Trout’s progress stalled after he felt some discomfort after a couple […]

Los Angeles Angels’ Mike Trout likely out 6-8 weeks with Grade 2 calf strain

Mike Trout lifted his head to watch a routine fly ball in Monday’s first inning, then put his head down to jog to the dugout while the final out was recorded. At that point, Trout said, “I thought I got hit by a line drive.” Upon reaching third base, he knew something wasn’t right. As he retreated into the clubhouse, he feared that he might have ruptured his Achilles tendon. The prognosis wasn’t that bad, but it was sobering nonetheless. Trout, the Los Angeles Angels’ star center fielder and arguably the game’s best all-around player, has a Grade 2 strain of his […]

Albert Pujols in agreement with Los Angeles Dodgers on major league deal

The Los Angeles Dodgers and future Hall of Fame first baseman Albert Pujols are in agreement on a major league contract, sources told ESPN on Saturday. The deal, first reported by the Los Angeles Times, isn’t expected to become official until Monday, a source said. When it does, the Dodgers will pay Pujols only the prorated portion of the major league minimum salary for the rest of the campaign, roughly $420,000, a sum that will be subtracted from the $30 million salary that is being paid to him by the Los Angeles Angels. Pujols, in the last year of his 10-year, $240 million […]

Yanks star Stanton off to strong start after smashing finish

Giancarlo Stanton is picking up where he finished the postseason last year. Healthy and hard hitting. The New York Yankees slugger homered in each of his first five playoff matches in 2020, a stretch that brought flashbacks of his spectacular 2017 NL MVP season and hopes that several injury-impacted years were behind him. Stanton ended with six homers and 13 RBI in seven postseason games, including a tough five-game Division Series loss to the AL champion Tampa Bay Rays. Stanton is 7 for 21 during spring training with two doubles and a homer that had an exit velocity of 115 mph. He also hit […]

The incentive-laden deal is […]

Raven´s Lamar Jackson named Offensive MVP at Pro Bowl

The AFC beat the NFC 38-33 on Sunday at the 2020 NFL Pro Bowl at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando.  It was the AFC’s fourth consecutive victory in the exhibition showcase.  Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was named the game’s offensive MVP after finishing 16-of-23 for 185 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Not too shabby for the youngest quarterback to ever start in the NFL’s annual all-star showcase Jacksonville Jaguars defensive lineman Calais Campbell (one tackle, one sack, one forced fumble) was named defensive MVP. It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Jackson would win the honors, given that he is the […]
