MLB Weekly Recap: Brewers Lead, Mariners’ Cal Raleigh Makes History
The Milwaukee Brewers continue to dominate MLB with the best record in the league, thanks to consistent pitching and strong offensive play. As of August 24, the Brewers are the team to beat, maintaining a solid lead in the NL Central and showing no signs of slowing down.
Rob Manfred Talks About Future MLB Expansion and Realignment
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred recently spoke about the future of Major League Baseball and hinted at possible expansion and realignment. He explained that adding new teams could also mean reorganizing divisions in a way that makes travel easier for players and creates more exciting matchups for TV networks. Manfred said this could bring more regional rivalries and better schedules for fans. Manfred’s goal is to see MLB grow from 30 to 32 teams before he retires in 2029. Some of the cities being considered for new franchises include Nashville, Salt Lake City, Portland, Charlotte, Austin, and even Montreal or Mexico City. Nashville is currently viewed as one of the strongest candidates, but competition remains open. If expansion happens, MLB could move away from the traditional American and National Leagues and create eight divisions with four teams each. This system would focus on geography, similar to other sports leagues like the NBA and NHL. While some fans worry about losing classic rivalries such as Cubs vs. Cardinals or Dodgers vs. Giants, supporters argue that the change would modernize the league and bring more excitement to the postseason. Before any expansion is approved, MLB must first solve stadium issues for existing teams. The Tampa Bay Rays are still searching for a permanent ballpark, and the Oakland Athletics are working on building a new stadium in Las Vegas, set to open in 2028. If these problems are resolved, the league could move forward with expansion by the end of the decade, setting the stage for a new era of baseball.

New York Mets Struggle as Playoff Hopes Fade
The New York Mets are facing a very difficult period, having lost 13 of their last 15 games, including a heartbreaking 4–3 defeat to the Atlanta Braves after a strong start. Once considered one of the top teams in the National League East, they have now fallen into a precarious position where every game matters. Their current record of 64–57 puts them in second place in the division, but they are five games behind the Philadelphia Phillies, making their path to the playoffs increasingly challenging. The team has shown flashes of talent, but inconsistency has prevented them from turning close games into victories, and this slump has significantly dampened fan morale and expectations.

Aaron Boone Against the Wall: Pressure Mounts as Yankees Struggle
The New York Yankees are in a tough spot, fighting for an AL Wild Card spot but sitting 6.5 games behind Toronto in the AL East with a 61-55 record. Since the July 30, 2025, trade deadline, they’ve gone 1-7, including a 5-3 loss to the Houston Astros on August 8. Fans are frustrated with manager Aaron Boone’s laid-back style, saying he’s not pushing the team hard enough. The team’s weak defense—missed catches and bad throws—and shaky bullpen, which keeps losing leads, are getting the most heat, despite a $289.7 million payroll and a 26-34 record since May 28.
