John Rave’s late father, Mike, grew up a Cubs fan. Tonight, @john_rave homered into the Wrigley bleachers. “I tried to talk to him a little bit throughout the game. He’s got the best seat in the house here. This is a pretty special one.” @Royals
Ted Simmons. One of the greatest quotes ever about Ichiro. @Mariners @baseballhall
"If you had one bat to go to the plate for a safe base hit... hands down, [I'd pick] Ichiro. EVERY TIME." - Hall of Famer Ted Simmons on Ichiro Suzuki 🎥 "The Road to Cooperstown Podcast" hosted by @jonmorosi
Bo Bichette says he feels this is the best the #BlueJays fan base has been in his time in the big leagues. “This is what I remember watching on TV when I was 17 years old at home, with Bautista and Donaldson.”
Wrigley Field is magic. Here’s Andrew Hoffmann (Joliet, Illinois) with family and friends after he recorded the final out of the @Royals’ win at the Friendly Confines tonight. @MLBNetwork
When Salvador Perez surpasses 300 HR -- which could happen this year -- he will be the 8th catcher* to do so. Six of the previous seven are in the @baseballhall: Piazza, Bench, Fisk, Berra, Carter, Rodríguez. * caught in at least 70% of all career games @MLBNetwork @Royals
Salvador Perez, 2 home runs tonight. Royals 10, Cubs 4. @MLBNetwork
END 6: Royals 7, Cubs 4. Noah Cameron settled in after the 2nd. Late innings from Wrigley are ahead on @MLBNetwork.
My latest report from Wrigley Field. We're about to go live on @MLBNetwork with our #MLBNShowcase broadcast of the @Cubs and @Royals.
Seiya Suzuki will get his first career start in center field tonight with Pete Crow-Armstrong out of the starting lineup with a bruised knee. More from @jonmorosi ahead of tonight's @goodyear #MLBNShowcase.
Seiya Suzuki is taking fly balls in center field, before his first @MLB regular season start at the position.
To clarify, I don’t expect Owen Caissie to be traded in a 1 for 1 deal for a rental starting pitcher. For Caissie to be moved, return likely would need to include multiple players or a controllable starter (e.g., Keller, Joe Ryan). @MLBNetwork
What do the next two weeks look like for the Cubs? @jonmorosi mentions Edward Cabrera, Mitch Keller and Seth Lugo as potential trade candidates for the club to pursue.
Six “bubble” teams in the AL. The Rays have shown they’re able to buy and sell at the same deadline while remaining competitive; that could put the underrated Zack Littell in play as a rental starter. @MLBNetwork @MLB
Mural honoring the late Dick Allen, nearing completion in his hometown of Wampum, Pa. Don Mancini, a friend of Allen’s, shared this photo with the Allen family. One week from today, Allen’s loved ones and the baseball world gather at the @baseballhall. @MLBNetwork
Dick Allen with Henry Aaron. One week from today, Allen posthumously joins Aaron in the @baseballhall. We’re honored to cover the Induction Ceremony live from Cooperstown on @MLBNetwork. Photo credit: Richard Allen Jr. @Phillies @WhiteSox @Cardinals @Dodgers
José's daughter, Isabella, threw out today's first pitch, and it's the cutest thing we've ever seen. 🥹 #GuardsBall

Dodgers rotation in 2025: 4.53 innings per game, *fewest* in @MLB. Dodgers rotation in 2024: 4.92 innings per game, 6th fewest in MLB -- and they still won it all. @MLBNetwork @FoxSportsRadio @BRWalkoff
Blue Jays win. They’re 32-15 since May 25, best record in the AL over that span. 🇨🇦 @Sportsnet @MLBNetwork
