1+ min ago (923+ words) In July, St. Petersburg officials ruled out demolishing Al Lang Stadium. Pinellas County Commissioners signaled a willingness to help convert it back into a spring training complex in early April. While those discussions are not new, a city consultant is now proposing a $49.2 million expansion to the home of the Tampa Bay Rowdies with an option for a baseball facility. The myriad upgrades would also help facilitate moving to a Division 1 soccer league. Plans presented to a committee Thursday include a three-story addition with a restaurant and bar overlooking the pitch. The 36,000-square-foot elevated building would also house a new locker room, offices, concessions, retail space and viewing areas. "The team, as of this point, does want to remain in St. Petersburg," said Beth Herendeen, managing director of city development. "And that's what I think we want " for the team…...

3+ min ago (491+ words) DEAR ANNIE: My 11-year-old son, "Max," used to eat, sleep and breathe baseball. He wore his glove to the grocery store, slept in his favorite team T-shirt and spent hours in the backyard throwing a ball against the fence, narrating imaginary World Series games. This year he finally made the local travel baseball team, which was supposed to be a dream come true. Instead, it has turned into a slow-motion heartbreak. The coach, "Brian," is one of those old-school, win-at-all-costs types. He yells when kids strike out, rolls his eyes when someone misses a grounder and has actually said things like, "Maybe baseball just isn't your sport," loudly enough for everyone to hear. He rarely plays my son, and when Max does get in the game, the coach seems to be waiting for him to fail. My once confident, baseball-obsessed…...

17+ min ago (657+ words) Dec 8, 2025 | 11:21 AM EST Most baseball fans in the early 2000s grew up watching Barry Bonds and his homers. Even today, when you talk about home runs, you talk about Barry Bonds, but the one thing that some fans want is to see him get his deserved spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Bonds had a chance of getting there, but after seeing the decision made, many are not happy. The Contemporary Baseball Era Committee chose to induct Jeff Kent over Barry Bonds, and this has caused a huge stir. "Jeff Kent is going into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Barry Bonds is not," wrote Grant Brisbee of The Athletic. "Bonds received fewer than five votes, which means'his window is almost closed" The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is still a place without a Barry Bonds" That's like a…...

17+ min ago (248+ words) New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman provided updates on the potential timetables for the returns of pitchers Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodon, along with shortstop Anthony Volpe." Rodon is looking at a late April, early May start to his season after he underwent surgery to remove a loose body and shave down bone spurs in his left elbow shortly after the team was eliminated from postseason contention by Toronto. He was shut down for eight weeks following the procedure, meaning he can begin throwing a little later this month." The southpaw was coming off his best season with the Yankees, going 18-9 with a 3.09 ERA and 203 strikeouts in 195.1 innings of work. Without two of their top arms, the Yankees enter the Winter Meetings with a current rotation of Max Fried, Cam Schlittler, Will Warren, and Ryan Yarbrough, meaning they should…...

22+ min ago (499+ words) Posted December 8, 2025 11:16 am. Baseball's Winter Meetings are underway in Florida, and the Toronto Blue Jays appear to be in the mix on the trade front. According to the New York Post's Jon Heyman, the Blue Jays are among the teams interested in Arizona Diamondbacks infielder and three-time All-Star Ketel Marte. Heyman notes that there are active talks between both clubs, but nothing significant as of yet. The Blue Jays have a vacancy in the middle infield, with long-time shortstop Bo Bichette a free agent and utility man Isiah Kiner-Falefa on the open market, too. Marte, 32, has played the last nine seasons in Arizona, emerging as one of baseball's best second basemen. Marte, whose 15.3 Wins Above Replacement (WAR) over the past three seasons is 13th in the majors, earned his second-straight All-Star nod in 2025, finishing with 28 home runs, 72 RBIs and slashing .283/.376/.517 across…...

24+ min ago (226+ words) Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were once again overlooked for the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday while former slugging infielder Jeff Kent was elected to Cooperstown as part of the Class of 2026. All-time home run leader Bonds and seven-time Cy Young Award winner Clemens have both faced allegations of performance-enhancing drug use, though neither player tested positive during their careers. Bonds, who has long denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs, and Clemens, who has maintained he never used them, were among those listed on the Contemporary Baseball Era player ballot, which focuses on players whose primary contributions to the game came since 1980. Candidates needed to receive votes on 75% of the ballots cast by the 16-member committee to become part of the 2026 Hall of Fame Class. Kent, who had 377 home runs, including a record 351 while playing second base, was named…...

27+ min ago (133+ words) For those Atlanta Braves fans that are clamoring for the team to bring back Marcell Ozuna for some reason, ESPN's Kiley McDaniel has a message for you. However, ESPN's Kiley McDaniel was even more damning in his assessment of the free agent market and Ozuna specifically. Not only did he identify Ozuna as a free agent to avoid in general, but he also had no shortage of reasons why. Thankfully, there has been little noise around a potential Ozuna reunion other than Alex Anthopoulos refusing to rule it out. However, Anthopoulos also just said after arriving at the Winter Meetings that the team prefers to keep the DH spot open and give multiple players turns there. Given the arguments that McDaniel lays out regarding Ozuna going forward, that is probably for the best....

32+ min ago (547+ words) NYCFC was beaten handily twice this season by Inter Miami. The Lionel Messi-led side operates in a market of the same size or even smaller than any team based in New York, and yet they have more firepower than the city's teams by a long shot. Unfortunately, this season, NYCFC fell just short in the regular season and the Major League Soccer playoffs." The last two games against the league winners, Miami, were blowouts. It depends on what the expectations were of NYCFC this season to judge if this season should be considered a success. By most interpretations, yes. Until the new stadium is up and running, it remains to be seen if New York City will splash cash on an attractive transfer target. The team began this season without their number No. 10, the heartbeat of the team, Santi Rodriguez....

33+ min ago (601+ words) The New York Mets are expected to be key players in free agency this winter. New York has already made a significant trade with the Texas Rangers to acquire Marcus Semien for outfielder Brandon Nimmo. They also signed highly-rated free agent reliever Devin Williams to a three-year deal. These moves are likely to be the tip of the iceberg for the club. While additional deals are expected, the Mets may very well miss out on their top pitching targets. The Athletic's Will Sammon is reporting that New York prefers not to hand out long-term contracts to starting pitchers. The stance is thought to hinder any potential agreement with the top-tier free agents. According to the outlet, premier starting pitchers such as Framber Valdez, Tatsuya Imai, and Ranger Suarez are all expected to sign long-term deals in free agency. In fact,…...
