Baseball can do better than its current format, which feels like a hardball half-measure with a half-dozen berths up for grabs.

Cora has mixed and matched, maximizing a Red Sox roster that looks ticketed to return the franchise to the postseason for the first time since 2021.

The league sits at the precipice of a pivotal financial fork in the road.

Digging through old ticket stubs is like traveling in a time machine. They’re mementos.

Both Kraft and Belichick should be smart enough to reach a compromise.
