After confirming that a Road to the Show mission is not progressing as it should be, players should navigate to the main menu and access MLB The Show 21’s Diamond Dynasty game mode. From here, fans should select “Manage Squad” and confirm that the created ballplayer is in their lineup. If they are not, then players should select the card that is associated with their ballplayer’s primary position and then pick their specific card from the new menu that appears....

RELATED: MLB The Show 22: Pitching Settings Guide But if all they have is defense, fans will be looking for an upgrade every year, even with Gold Glove credentials. The best shortstops in MLB The Show 22 also mix in some speed, contact, and occasional power to let their team know they’re more than just some fancy leather glove. Updated on July 13th, 2022 by Hodey Johns: This list first came out before the season started....

While fantasy owners wait for Tatis Jr. and Bichette, there are a few other rookie shortstops who could break camp as starters for their respective clubs. DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Ultimate 2019 cheat sheet MLB Top Prospects: SS The Padres’ Luis Urias (No. 26 in our prospect rankings) played mostly second base last season, but this year he’s poised to be San Diego’s opening day shortstop. Urias has struggled with plate discipline in his brief time in the majors, and he looked a bit out of sync when I saw him in spring training....

Life in the Bronx was good. The seemingly charmed season was writing another chapter en route to a destiny-laden October. Sure, the team had been forced to deal with a cavalcade of injuries most of the year, but day after day the replacements stepped up and performed as well or better than the regulars on the injured list. There were no excuses, only winning for a team a very impressive 31 games over the ....

With that in mind, we thought we’d take a look at the series that start Monday that will have the biggest impact on the “buy or sell?” crowd. MORE: MLB trade rumors: Latest news, rumored deals First, a couple of .500-range teams we won’t talk about because they’ve already declared their intentions include the Cubs (46-45 4.5 back in the NL Central and 5.5 back of a wild-card spot) and the Royals (45-45, 2 back in the AL Central, 2....

They attempted to re-sign Mark Melancon. Nope. Gone to San Francisco with the Giants. What about Aroldis Chapman? He’s good! He helped the Cubs win a World Series. Nope. Ended up back in the Bronx with the Yankees. In fact, the Nationals were linked to pretty much every free-agent reliever this offseason. And they’ve missed out. On all of them.

Hamels, 30, is under contract to the Phillies through the 2018 season with a club option for 2019. He is owed a total of $90 million for the next four seasons. “One major league source said if the Phillies get a taker on the full contract and they get three top prospects, he’s gone, and Hamels, according to another major league source, wouldn’t mind,” Carfado reports. But so far, the Phillies “have been discouraged by what they’re hearing from other teams....

“That topic has come up independently of us bringing it up,” Clark said to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “It has been a topic, as I’m sure you know, a topic of discussion going back the last two bargaining agreements. Nothing has changed at this point in time. But I am guessing come 2016 that conversation will come up again.” MLB 2015: Potential impact rookies Clark said said he would have to poll the players before saying if the NL was for or against the idea....

Yordan Alvarez, a 21-year-old left fielder/designated hitter, went 3 for 4 with his fourth home run of the season in a 7-2 victory over the Blue Jays on Saturday. He has played just five games but has instantly become Houston’s most feared batter as he is hitting .471 with eight hits and six walks in 17 at-bats. His latest homer got out in about two seconds while flying into the second deck at Minute Maid Park and going an estimated 439 feet....

Pittsburgh entered the frame trailing 3-1 but cut its deficit to one on a RBI single by Adam Frazier. Starling Marte then followed with a three-run walk-off home run to give the Pirates a 5-3 win. “Those situations don’t happen a lot, but there’s something special about them,” Marte said after the game through a translator, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “What I’ve recognized is that when it comes up to me, it’s something about (those situations) that makes me feel big....

The Indians right-hander no-hit the Blue Jays through seven innings in Cleveland on Thursday before exiting after 117 pitches. While he had control issues (five walks), he also punched out eight hitters. Fastball, breaking ball, changeup, everything worked for Bauer against the Blue Jays. Indians relievers lost the no-hit bid in the ninth, but Cleveland won 4-1. MORE: Watch ‘ChangeUp,’ a new MLB live whiparound show on DAZN Coming off his best season in 2018 (12-6, 2....

We all have that old high school acquaintance that invites us to online parties or posts all about the wonders of her product, but should you trust her messages offering to let you “be your own boss"? Plenty of entrepreneurs make a good living for themselves, but there is a big difference between founding your own company and getting sucked into a multilevel marketing (MLM) Scheme. Learning the difference between the two and the dangers of an MLM may save you from much grief and debt....

Speaking at the annual State of the League address ahead of MLS Cup, Garber discussed the shifting landscape surrounding youth soccer in the United States and Canada. Just this season, the league has seen the record-breaking sale of Alphonso Davies, who departed the Vancouver Whitecaps to join Bayern Munich for a fee that could reach $22 million, while midfielder Tyler Adams was sold to RB Leipzig after breaking through with the U....

The 21-year-old ran the gamut of the TFC pyramid in relatively short order. He joined the TFC academy as a late-bloomer in 2014 and quickly transitioned to Toronto FC II of the USL, where he stood out for two seasons. Canada names 27-man roster After getting a brief taste of first team duty in 2016 while still under contract with TFCII, Edwards signed an MLS deal earlier this year following a successful preseason with Greg Vanney’s side....

He’s been a wonderkid at two teams on either side of the border, the youngest player on a U-20 World Cup squad, an Olympian, a senior international, a pariah and, most recently, a comeback story. And he just turned 24 a few months ago. The latest iteration of Torres has seen the Houston Dynamo striker take MLS by storm early in the 2017 campaign, much like he did when he scored 15 goals for Chivas USA in 2014 en route to an All-Star appearance and a first senior call-up for Mexico....

One such oddity? His 2014 stint as an MLS pool goalkeeper — a hired gun of sorts, kept on retainer by the league in case any club needed a shot-stopper on short notice. For five months, Melia’s career amounted to the antithesis of his sport. He was a loner, by definition, playing for himself in a team game. “It knocks you down in your place real quick being a pool goalkeeper,” Melia told Goal....

MVP: Robinson Cano, Mariners. Cano gets a free car because, of course, it’s always fun to give millionaires expensive stuff for free. Goodnight, baseball friends. Bottom of the 10th The Indians’ Andrew Miller is on to close it for the AL. This could get nasty. Oh, hey, Justin Upton. Nice catch. One out. Francisco Lindor with a nice play, too. Two outs. Joey Votto draws a walk. He’s good at the on-base percentage thing....

The players’ union said Monday that Kershaw also won the Marvin Miller Man of the Year award.

Who is the best team in baseball? You might be inclined to say the Cubs based on their MLB-best 37-15 record and +2.6 margin of victory per game, but I’ll take my chances in any debate with the Giants, who look like strong candidates to win their fourth straight World Series in an even numbered year (2010, 2012 and 2014). A big part of the reason the Giants (34-22, +9....
