Ichiro Suzuki has no desire to stop playing baseball as he nears his 44th birthday, saying he wants to return to the Miami Marlins in 2018 -- and beyond. How much longer? "At least 50," Ichiro told reporters through his interpreter on Friday. The Marlins hold a $2 million team option for next season, and they have yet to decide on the backup outfielder's future with the team.

Much of the game’s history can be traced through these five ballparks, which have all been torn down.

The former Tigers catcher has a 312-325 record going into tonight's game.

A young girl was hospitalized after being hit in the face by a 105-mph foul ball Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium. The child’s father spoke with reporters briefly at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center later that night. "She's doing all right,” he told WABC-NY. “Just keep her in your thoughts."

Tim Lincecum’s last known address is tucked behind a partial fence, just off a sloped dead-end street near the shores of Lake Washington. Getting to the front door of the barn-red building requires crossing a short bridge. It feels like walking the plank.

The Cleveland Indians are officially on baseball’s greatest hot streak in more than eight decades. With 21 consecutive victories, they’re now tied for the longest winning streak in MLB history with the 1935 Chicago Cubs, moving one game ahead of the 2002 “Moneyball” Oakland A’s for the American League’s all-time record.1 If the Indians tack on another win, they’ll break a record older than the franchise’s World Series drought — perhaps a portent of more history to be shattered next month.

It’s always fun to look at improbable sports accomplishments and say, “If only I had bet on it, I’d be so rich!” Leicester City’s 2015 Premier League title at 5,000-to-1 odds certainly comes to mind — that was easy money. But let’s say — in some crazy alternate reality — that you saw the Cleveland Indians’ AL-record 21-game win streak coming and you decided to bet just $100 at the start. How much money would you have today?

With the minor leagues' regular seasons over, it's time to present our second annual Prospect of the Year award, given to the prospect who showed the best performance in the minor leagues in 2017. While the process of selecting the top prospects was ultimately subjective, I focused primarily on legitimate prospects who performed well relative to their age, level and experience in pro ball. In short, the younger a player was relative to the other players in his league...

When confronted by Major League Baseball, the Red Sox admitted they were using Apple Watches in a scheme to gain an edge at the plate.

Good morning, Detroit. There have a been a few changes while you were sleeping.

Iowa Cubs catcher Taylor Davis has an innate talent for finding the cameras and staring into the lens until it becomes uncomfortable, so the team celebrated that skill with a two-minute compilation. Davis does it from the dugout, behind home plate, in the bullpen, during a bullpen visit, and even while standing for the national anthem...

He is in his 20th season at the helm of the Oakland A’s, has been the subject of a best-selling book and Academy Award-nominated movie, and is recognized beyond the world of sports for his innovative mind. So is Billy Beane’s legacy established? Or must the A’s executive win a championship or three, as the Bay Area’s other longtime top baseball executive has done, to solidify his place in the sport?

The former slugger was the singular king of three true outcomes (BB, K, HR), but today’s game features dozens of his heirs.

The moment he hears the voice on the other end, he starts to sing. Taaaaake me out to the baaaaall gaaaaame. Taaaaake me out to the crowd. Ron Ochmann has never met nor spoken with the person he's serenading. That detail won't bewilder those who know him well. Buy me some peanuts and craaaaacker jacks. Iiiii don't care if I ever get back. He suggests a lunch meeting and says to search for the man donning pink shorts, a green bandana and yellow socks.

It takes a lot to be a head groundskeeper in the MLB, and this woman has passed those tests with flying colors. Nicole Sherry, one of only two women in Major League Baseball to have the title of Head Groundskeeper, shares her experience leading her team. Mashable’s series ‘How She Works’ highlights amazing women in diverse occupations.

For more than a year, she was a mystery to Matt Szczur. In fact, he didn't even know her name. But now and forever, the Cubs' jack of all trades will remain part of Anastasia Olkhovsky thanks to the bone marrow he donated that saved her life. Sports fans first met Anastasia and her family via an ESPN "E:60" feature in 2013. Anastasia was the leukemia-stricken child of Ivan and Marina, a couple from Ukraine that was afraid to close their eyes at night for fear their first born might not open hers again.

Baseball gloves aren’t really made in America anymore. One company didn’t get the memo.

We’ve all seen a pitcher when he’s zeroed in: His mechanics are clean, his curveball is dropping off the table and he’s painting the edge of the zone. But just as often, a hurler can lose command, and we see pitches that normally look sharp getting hammered into the stands. These streaks are confounding; for no apparent reason, a journeyman can look like a Hall of Famer, or a Cy Young winner can look like an ordinary junkballer.

ong before he flipped his bat, Jose Bautista was known around baseball as a demonstrative player. Major-league umpires had exchanged enough words and glances with him to form their opinions, and Darren O’Day already knew from experience that Bautista wouldn’t hesitate to enjoy a well-timed homer. With two home-run titles and six all-star appearances before he got his first taste of the playoffs, Bautista was a bona fide superstar. But his style of play rankled some observers and the volume of overt criticism surged when...

During this series of articles that have comprised my FanGraphs Residency, I have updated my analysis of the free-agent market that I last researched over three years ago. The vast majority of my new findings have suggested that teams have gotten smarter about spending in line with true player talent, all the while spending roughly the same share of league revenue as they were spending before.
