The New York Yankees have entered the All-Star break in postseason position. However, they’re looking up at the Baltimore Orioles in the American League East standings and need to supplement their offense by the July 30 trade deadline. Could Jazz Chisholm Jr. of the Miami Marlins be a legitimate target?

	Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson, who has a $756,200 salary this season, has a lot on the line in Monday night’s Home Run Derby.

	Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr., another Oriole, can relate. He had a meager $40,000 salary in his first year in the big leagues in 1982. But he had a clause in his contract that called for a $100,000 bonus if...

We were about to get another lesson, all of us, all of us who sometimes forget that baseball season isn’t football season, that slow and steady really does usually win the race.

Four days ago we kept wanting to put a mirror under the Yankees’ collective nose, see if they were still breathing. The All-Star break would be filled with much clamor and clatter, and much curiosity if there might well be fundamental change by the time the Yankees reconvened at Yankee Stadium at the end of the coming week.

Then the Yankees went to Baltimore.

And the Yankees started to look a...

Yankees have time to stew over what went wrong in season’s most gut-wrenching loss

We are moving ever closer to the 2024 MLB trade deadline and while the weekend series against the Orioles has breathed some life into the wayward Yankees, the prospects for this flawed lineup are still dicey. There will be pressure on GM Brian Cashman to make a major move to right the ship, particularly addressing an infield that has too many unproductive players manning key roles.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

Increasing state cigarette taxes has proven to be an effective policy to decrease smoking rates, and it appears that is also true in Kentucky. Nearly 30 percent of Kentucky adults smoked in 2011, two years after the legislature had doubled the cigarette tax to 60 cents a pack. Following a 50-cent increase to $1.10 in 2018, the state’s adult smoking rate fell to 17.4% in 2022, the last year for which a rate is available.
