The Rays and Cardinals are in the midst of a series in St. Louis, and just because Yadier Molina is out of action with a wrist injury, that doesn’t mean he won’t be having some fun. Yadier’s brother Jose is a catcher for the Rays, and got the start behind the dish on Wednesday night […]

The Padres’ ugly season just got a little uglier. Maybin blamed the failed test on confusion resulting from a change in medications, one of which he had a TUE for. He’s hit .247/.286/.368 in 62 games this season. He’s signed through the 2016 season.

Back in April, the El Paso Chihuahuas pranked teammate Jeff Francoeur, convincing him that a teammate was deaf. In honor of Francoeur’s promotion to the major league today, Cody Decker of the Chihuahuas released another prank video, in which the team locks Francoeur in the bathroom. I won’t spoil the conclusion, but it’s pretty fantastic. […]

Jack White took in Tuesday’s Cubs-Padres game, looking to have some fun at the ballpark. At least that’s presumably why the musician was in the Wrigley Field stands. But it doesn’t look like he was having much fun. Is that Jack White pic.twitter.com/m94sBgqmxT — Torque Penderloin (@AndrewCieslak)

The Padres are dealing third baseman Chase Headley to the Yankees for…well, next to nothing. Headley is hitting .229/.296/.355 with the Padres this year, just two seasons removed from an MVP-caliber 2012. Yangervis Solarte is a 27-year old career minor leaguer who hit .254/.337/.381 in the majors with the Yankees this season before getting sent […]

The Red Sox were matching outs with runs this Monday night in Toronto, playing 14 runs before the fifth inning was even over. But Brock Holt added insult to injury with this absolutely incredible catch of a Dan Johnson fly ball, showing that when it rains (even in a dome) it pours.

What…how…I don’t even know. This move by Simmons was like something out of The Matrix. He turned what looked like a picture perfect hit and run into a casual fielder’s choice. Just unbelievable.

Fernando Rodney shot his trademark arrow at the Angels dugout at the end of the eighth inning after being brought in for a five out save on Sunday. Following an Albert Pujols game-tying double in the ninth, Pujols returned the favor by shooting an arrow of his own. Then Mike Trout got into the act, […]

Is this the most “LOLMETS” play ever? Tie game, two outs, bottom of the ninth, winning run on third…and Josh Edgin trips and falls off the mound when Seth Smith hits a tapper to the first base side of the diamond. Losing is never a good thing, but losing like this is just…well, it’s embarrassing.

God bless 105-year old Agnes McKee, who threw out the first pitch at Petco Park before Sunday’s Mets-Padres game. This is just awesome – great job by the Padres getting her on the field to do this.

After getting moved to the bullpen from the starting rotation, Shelby Miller had to learn to trust his new friends and take part in a trust exercise. Everything looks like it went just fine for him.

Appearances at Comicon? Check. Starting pitcher dressed as a Jedi? Check. Bobblehead of starting pitcher dressed as a Jedi? Check. An endless array of puns and graphics? Check. Clark the Cub as an Ewok? Check. Announce team dressed as a Stormtrooper and Chewbacca, respectively? Check. I’ve got nothing else to say.

One of the two unnamed minor leaguers going to San Diego is Jose Rondon, while the identities of the fourth minor leaguer going to the Padres and the one going to the Angels are currently unknown. Street has a 1.09 ERA and 24 saves for the Padres this year. He’s owed the remainder of a […]

Here’s a priceless moment from Friday’s Royals-Red Sox game at Fenway Park. On an Eric Hosmer scorcher down the right field line, the ballgirl picks up the live ball…and drops it when she realizes what she’s done. The look on her face sums up the situation perfectly.
