Spending limits change the game in baseball draft

Like Cubs, Astros building from bottom up
Like his bosses, Mike Foltynewicz is a baseball optimist. He can see the Astros rising out of the ashes they find themselves in at the beginning of the Jim Crane era. "In three or four years, we're going to be a fun team,'' said Foltynewicz, a 21-year-...

The emigrants: Departures for U.S. weaken baseball in Japan
Bud Selig would love to see a series between the World Series and Japan Series champions. But among the realities is that as problematic as that idea seems now, it might become even less viable in the future. Major League Baseball is lowering the talent...

Instant replay will be great for game

La implacable maldición que atormenta a los Angelinos

Series foes fighting for playoff lives
Life's cruel, sometimes. A year ago, the Cardinals and Rangers were atop the baseball world. They rode their talent and ability to deliver in the clutch all the way to the World Series. Now they're fighting for their lives in a new form of torture,...
