The Dodgers often lacked a certain kind of grit or toughness to push them over the top. The 2024 Dodgers showed that they are not that same team. They are stronger, tougher, better, and that’s why they are now World Series champions.

Freddie Freeman didn't have many moments this October where he could come through for his team. But in one swing, he turned Game 1 of the 2024 World Series into an instant classic.

Since taking the helm as Dodgers skipper in 2016, there hasn’t been a manager in baseball who has faced more scrutiny than Dave Roberts. And he’s not oblivious to it.

There haven't been many things to captivate baseball like the phenomenon that was “Fernandomania.” The pride of Etchohuaquila, Mexico leaves behind a legacy of not only great performance but also great pride for the team he represented and the country that birthed him.

One of the best parts about sports is that it blends emotions with the rigors of competition. The MLB postseason has a way of concentrating the entire emotional experience into its most intense form. For the first time in his career, Shohei Ohtani is getting to feel the playoff atmosphere and the big moments that come with it.

For six years, Shohei Ohtani was left on the outside looking in at Major League Baseball's postseason. But for the first time in Ohtani’s career, the two-time league MVP will be playing in the postseason when the Dodgers take on the San Diego Padres in the NLDS, starting Saturday evening at Dodger Stadium. This is  huge — and not just for him.

As you get closer to the gates of the Coliseum, you can smell the beer and tacos from vendors outside the park, and hear the sounds of the East Bay. Whether it’s Too $hort's “Blow The Whistle” or Kendrick Lamar's iconic smash “Not Like Us,” the city's pride is oozing through its pores. This is Oakland.

After another two-homer game Sunday — which gave him 51 home runs on the season, 10 more than anyone else in MLB — it’s time to start talking about Aaron Judge in a different way.

It seems like there's nothing on Earth that Shohei Ohtani can’t do, particularly on a baseball diamond.

For young players, there’s a big difference between getting to the big leagues and staying in the big leagues. Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Gavin Stone found that out the hard way.

There might not be a player more synonymous with this century’s golden era of Kansas City Royals baseball than longtime catcher Salvador Perez. From his electric smile to his ability to continue producing at a high level into his 30s, Perez’s legacy of greatness has only grown over the years.

While shortstop Gunnar Henderson is growing into an AL MVP candidate this season, his teammate on the left side of the infield is turning into one of the best third basemen in baseball.

If you ask around about who Pat Murphy is, you might get 100 different answers. To some, he’s the first-year manager of the Milwaukee Brewers who finally got his shot in the big leagues. To others, he’s the longtime successful college baseball coach at Notre Dame and Arizona State, who even befriended Daniel Ruettiger, better known as simply “Rudy.”

There have been players who were the best players of their era, and there have been players who were great representatives of the game of baseball. Willie Mays did both, and he did them at the highest level.

It’s Paul Skenes' world, and we’re just living in it. The Pirates’ rookie phenom has taken the baseball world by storm this season and become must-see viewing every time he takes the hill for Pittsburgh.

Negro Leagues statistics will officially become part of major-league historical record on Wednesday. The move comes more than three years after Major League Baseball announced it would be elevating the Negro Leagues to major-league status.

After downplaying his return and the attention that would surround it for the last month, the Cubs manager opened up his trip back to the ballpark that he called home for nearly two decades.

There has been no organization in baseball better at developing premier starting pitching over the past decade than the Cleveland Guardians. This season, the Guardians are using a different recipe as they sit atop the AL Central.

Not long ago, the Toronto Blue Jays appeared to be in line to become baseball’s next great team. But as baseball often shows in its own cruel way, no one is entitled to anything. And what might be here today is never guaranteed tomorrow.

The three teams below are each in a unique position with one in a rebuild and the other two on the precipice of a potential major shakeup.

And each could have a big impact on this year’s trade deadline on July 30.

Things in Chicago haven’t exactly followed the script so far this season, yet the Cubs look well-positioned to have one of the NL’s six playoff spots within their grasp come the end of the season.

There might not be an executive in baseball who is more aggressive and willing to make a big deal than Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller.

It has taken some time, and while the Giants are still figuring out where their production will come from,  one player who has quickly become part of the solution is first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr.

Just three years ago, the Chicago White Sox were the darlings of Major League Baseball. Today, the White Sox are the worst team in baseball.

One of the biggest storylines in baseball this season is the loaded rookie class. And in a group with tremendous talent and Jackson Chourio, the youngest player among them, could end up being the best of the bunch.

It’s difficult to be surprised while watching the Dodgers thump offensively, given that it’s exactly what they were built to do. Pair three MVPs with multiple All-Star position players, and you have the makings of a juggernaut.

The question rolled in to Yahoo Sports via text from a veteran scout. A person whose livelihood revolves around information and the gathering of it. The type that is typically in the know, in the loop, in the mix — or at least, on the periphery of it.

Every player who gets to the big leagues has a unique path. The world knew Bryce Harper was born for MLB stardom when he graced the cover of Sports Illustrated as a 16-year-old. But that’s not the journey for most players.

If there’s one way the Brewers have succeeded in recent years, it has been their ability to develop homegrown, frontline starting pitching. Over the past few seasons, Milwaukee developed a three-headed monster at the top of its rotation with Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff and Freddy Peralta.

It’s hard to find a bigger disappointment from last season than the San Diego Padres. Coming off an NLCS appearance in 2022 and getting a full season with superstars Manny Machado, Juan Soto, Fernando Tatis Jr. and free-agent acquisition Xander Bogaerts, the sky seemed to be the limit.

Baseball is a sport with a million personalities. It’s a game full of introverts, extroverts and everything in between, with the person on the top step of each dugout tasked with managing all those personalities.

It was no ordinary day at Camelback Ranch on Tuesday. More than 30 credentialed media members, dozens of camera people, a packed crowd and even more fans stood around the ballpark waiting to watch baseball’s biggest attraction.

The arm that might be the key to unlocking the Diamondbacks rotation’s full potential is second-year right-hander Brandon Pfaadt. 

There’s less than a month until Opening Day, and with March around the corner, this offseason’s top free agents are finally finding their homes. And in the case of Cody Bellinger, he gets to stay at home.

The Miami Marlins have made a late free-agent addition, signing shortstop Tim Anderson to a 1-year deal agreed to Thursday, sources confirm to Yahoo Sports. 

The two-way star got the bulk of the attention this winter (rightfully so), but there were several other moves that moved the needle and didn’t involve the two-time MVP.  Here’s a list of the five best non-Shohei moves of the offseason — and four more signings that should happen before Opening Day.
