Joe Musgrove — who’s from San Diego and is a former season-ticket holder — threw a no-h...

Outside The Confines: Hall of Shame Share this story Photo by Mary DeCicco/MLB Photos via Getty Images For better or for worse, there were no players elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame this year. On Tuesday evening, with four hours of time scheduled to fill on MLB Network, there were no names called, no retrospectives to consider, and no praising speeches. Not one eligible candidate hit the 75% mark of ballots, with derided former pitcher Curt Schilling getting the closest with just over 71%....

Yankees trade for Jameson Taillon Share this story Photo by Mike Carlson/MLB Photos via Getty Images The Yankees have traded for Jameson Taillon (sounds like a scotch). The Pirates are to get Miguel Yajure, Roansy Contreras, Maikol Escotto and Canaan Smith. Yajure, a RHP, was #15 on MLB’s list of top Yankee prospects.
