INSIDE MLB
Cuban lefty Aroldis Chapman and his 100 mph heater are among this offseason's many hot topics.
Alex Rodriguez had an interesting season, but it's one that ended with him lifting a career-long burden as a first-time champion.
The Phillies didn't get enough from their offense, particularly Ryan Howard, or their bullpen to repeat as champions.
Joe Girardi needs to rethink his pitching plan after watching A.J. Burnett's short start on short rest in Game 5.
Johnny Damon's two steals on one pitch drove the Yankees in Game 4 and will long be remembered.
Andy Pettitte's been under the bright lights before. He showed yet again that he knows how to handle himself in October.
