I know what images you’ve been fed for the last couple of years. But get one thing straight. The A’s aren’t moving to Las Vegas because the fan base is unworthy. It is the owner who doesn’t measure up. Column: theathletic.com/4433107/2023…

The Oakland A’s will be mourned, despite what the owner wants you to believe: Carig

I know what this franchise and stadium looks like when it's done right. As a local kid, I was there.

In Milwaukee, you can still drink at Harvey Kuenn’s old tavern and you can sit at the bar from “Major League.” You can have a beer in Bernie Brewer’s chalet and play wiffle ball at a baseball-themed brewery. An iconic city for beer and baseball. nytimes.com/athletic/7714926…

MLB has a December 1 deadline. That may mean that free agents and teams go through a November scramble.

My first ball writing job was in 2016, covering the Rays as an intern. They were last place, terrible. No one went to games. Tonight was cool to see.

Not saying that was a deliberate trip around the bases. But by the time he touched home plate, he was Senior Caminero.

Don’t call it a fairy tale, not when a team has won 110 times this year. Call it a chance to prove, at last, that Milwaukee can win it all.

Hi @kellyclarkson I talked to Art Of Play co-owner Adam Rubin who wants to send you this message in part “We hold no ill will against Kelly Clarkson, we invite her to come back and enjoy the store. But, we find her gross abuse of power completely reprehensible, and she should face social consequences.” @1010WINS let us know if we can interview you to follow-up.

It's been a long year for Nathaniel Lowe. He lost his mom in March; he still hasn't processed it. He's lived in a dozen Airbnbs. He fought for a roster spot. He got traded. So, that signature moment in Game 1 felt pretty good. "What else can you ask for?" nytimes.com/athletic/7679164…

Lowe's mother passed away earlier in the season. He has devoted every at-bat since to honoring her.
