After some initial concern from fans that he would go the Stephen Strasburg route, Matt Harvey confirmed he'll take the mound for the New York Mets in the 2015 postseason should the team qualify.

This will not be easily forgotten.

The New York Mets have trudged along, disappointing their fanbase for the last eight seasons, but 2015 changed that. They signed players, made trades and developed a promising young core—position guys and pitchers alike.

Fact: On Friday night, Bryce Harper hit the longest home run of his career (453 feet).

Chris Davis is back in line.

The man who looked primed to take over as Major League Baseball's home run king before being derailed by an atrocious 2014 and a drug suspension is again performing his craft as well as anyone in the sport.

The New York Mets never wanted Matt Harvey to be Stephen Strasburg. As far as we knew, at least until Friday, Harvey never wanted to be Strasburg, either.

The Los Angeles Angels have been without an official general manager since Jerry DiPoto stepped down in July, but with the season winding down, the search to fill the position is expected to pick up. 

The struggles moved from one level to the next without a stumble.

If the New York Yankees' starting rotation were an '80s sitcom, it'd be titled Who's the Ace? And while Masahiro Tanaka might seem like the obvious answer—the Tony Danza character, if you will—Nathan Eovaldi is making his case.

Tim Lincecum was never supposed to last this long. But he was never supposed to go away so soon.

He was too small and too funky, and he was never going to endure. Then he was a two-time Cy Young winner and a World Series champion, and he was going to be a San Francisco Giant forever.

September is here, and with it comes pennant-chase baseball and prospect call-ups. Not many prospects are gifted with the opportunity to immediately step in and take on a prominent role with a team competing for the postseason, so we’ve highlighted one player with the best opportunity to do that: Joey Gallo of the Texas Rangers.
