• Never happened beforeClayton Kershaw should reach 3.000 strikeouts tonight in the Dodgers' game against the White Sox. That's provided that he lasts more than two or three innings, but he's been doing pretty well since his return off the injured list, so chances are good. Kershaw will become the first Dodgers pitcher -- who is known as a Dodger pitcher -- to achieve the milestone while a Dodger. There have ...2025Read about Clayton Kershaw news today -

• Hey, Tom Ricketts! You need to get Kyle Tucker signed now — and not just for baseball reasonsDavid Banks-Imagn Images There’s something else that this signing would do for the Cubs. With Kyle Tucker off to a great start with the Cubs, the chorus of voices urging Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts to open up the team wallet and sign Tucker to an extension before he hits free agency has gotten louder.

• Rick Reuschel should be in the Hall of Fame
Getty Images The former Cubs righthander is seriously underrated. Let me start another Hall of Fame controversy.

Reuschel didn’t get any real consideration in his one year on the BBWAA ballot in 1997. He got just two votes from writers an...2023Continue with Rick Reuschel
