Fernando Tatis Jr. To Adopt Two-Handed Follow-Through?

San Diego Padres general manager A.J. Preller said he was assured that once shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr.'s shoulder is healed, he will not be putting himself at long-term risk by returning to action, other than maybe the risk of another dislocation. The Padres are trying to have Tatis move toward a two-handed follow-through on his […]

Champ or Chump: Jonathan India

The NL Central was among the most wide-open divisions in all of baseball coming into the season.
