Nearly five years ago, the character Mac from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia wrote a "love" letter to his favorite Phillies player, Chase Utley, asking if the two could "have a catch." He made sure to compliment Utley's hair and ask about the second baseman's relationship with his father while he was at it.

Now, given that Utley is really busy playing a lot of baseball for the Phillies, Mac has only just now gotten his response.

Detroit's Austin Jackson stole his seventh base of the season against the Red Sox on Monday and decided to make lemonade out of lemons after tripping on the bag by getting a workout in.

The Philadelphia Phillies traded for Michael Young this past offseason in hopes that he could fuel a return to the playoffs. With the Phillies' playoff hopes fading, though, the Philadelphia front office made the decision to deal the popular third baseman to Los Angeles.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal had the news:

Smiles and high-fives have become commonplace around Fenway Park these days, but nobody has grinned wider and slapped hands more enthusiastically than the guy most often on the mound at game's end.

The Minnesota Twins have traded veteran first baseman Justin Morneau to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for outfielder Alex Presley and a player to be named later or cash, the Pirates announced on Twitter.

Texas Rangers right-hander Yu Darvish was in complete control of the Minnesota Twins through six innings Friday night, and this GIF of his filthy curveball in the fifth exemplifies it perfectly. 

While Brett Lawrie has spent most of August making noise with his bat, Toronto's 23-year-old third baseman let his athleticism do the talking on Friday night against Kansas City.

In Canada, even the cops have a sense of humor. In probably the best police report ever written, the arresting officer describes the potential reasoning for the intruding fan. Was it because he wanted to end the misery of watching the Blue Jays play ball? One can only wonder.

Hunter Pence channeled his inner Hulk to blast the longest home run of the 2013 MLB season.

As Pence's San Francisco Giants took on the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night, Pence stepped up to the plate in the first inning with a runner on first and two outs.
