21 hours ago | cbssports.com | Julian McWilliams

BOSTON —As the 2024 season came to a close and the Red Sox endured another year without a postseason appearance, Boston manager Alex Cora confidently declared, "This will be the last struggle."The Sox had just marked their fourth straight year without making the playoffs, finishing the year 84-84. After years of wallowing at the bottom of the division, the Sox made it clear their goal wasn't just a wild-card spot.

NEW YORK — Frankie Montas stood at his locker inside the Mets clubhouse with a huge grin across his face. It was the afternoon of May 23, ahead of what would ultimately be a series victory for New York against a loaded Dodgers club. Montas, who has been sidelined with a high-grade lat strain since the end of March, was set to begin a rehab assignment at High-A Brooklyn a day later and was elated to see the mound again for his new club. But that wasn't the only reason he was content.
Mookie Betts saw his position switch as 'a fail' -- and then he became one of MLB's best defensive shortstops

It was the only facet of baseball in which he has ever struggled. The one aspect of the game that Mookie Betts couldn't quite master. "Last year, playing shortstop was pretty much a fail," the Dodgers star told CBS Sports last week. Failure doesn't sit well with a man that is moonwalking to the Hall of Fame.

'How the hell did you do that?': Braves' Michael Harris II and the art of making highlight-reel catches

1 week ago | cbssports.com | Julian McWilliams

BOSTON — Grant Holmes couldn't believe what he had witnessed. The Braves' starter placed his hand and glove on the back of his blue Atlanta cap in awe of what he just saw from Michael Harris II in center field on a ball that found his mitt and defied logic. The often-stoic Matt Olson emphatically pointed in Harris's direction, acknowledging the play that few could make. It occurred in the bottom of the fourth inning of the Braves' May 12 matchup against the Nationals.

Braves' Chris Sale dazzles vs. Red Sox in first start at Fenway Park since trade: 'I love it here'

2 weeks ago | cbssports.com | Julian McWilliams

BOSTON —The end of Chris Sale's tenure with the Red Sox was marked largely by regret. Sorrow, too. No doubt, Sale had his joy during his time, closing out the 2018 World Series against the Dodgers, arms raised in celebration after making Manny Machado look foolish on one of his patented backfoot sliders. Sale was soaring then, finishing second and fourth in Cy Young voting in 2017 and 2018. He defied physics, in a way.

How Twins are trying to pitch their way back into playoff contention with 'nasty stuff in the zone'

4 weeks ago | cbssports.com | Julian McWilliams

BOSTON — Few teams have leaned on their pitching the way the Minnesota Twins have. Even fewer could trust that approach with the hope that it could land them in October. "We always pitch to the strength of the pitcher," Twins catcher Christian Vazquez told CBS Sports recently. "It's easy to call a game." In truth, positive outcomes haven't come easy for the Twins to begin this season. They enter Wednesday with a 16–20 record, sitting fourth in the AL Central. Their most productive position player?
