Braves Offense Gets Going Early

The Atlanta Braves offense was really good in the 2023 regular season. Part of the reason why they were so good this year is because they scored 146 first-inning runs, which is the second-most in MLB history since 1961, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Atlanta scored a first-inning run 65 times this year, accounting […]

Pete Alonso Hires Scott Boras

New York Mets All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso has hired agent Scott Boras and the BorasCorp to represent him as he heads into his final season in 2024 before free agency.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays.
