NL East

New York Mets outfielder Tim Tebow was signing autographs on Tuesday after an instructional league game in Scottsdale, Arizona, when a nearby fan suffered a seizure. The former Heisman Trophy winner told reporters on Wednesday that it was an easy decision to comfort the man during the scary situation. 

The Atlanta Braves announced Tuesday that Brian Snitker will take over as the club's full-time manager after serving in an interim role to finish the 2016 season. 

The organization relayed the news on its official Twitter feed.

An hour or so before the National League playoffs began, a scout with one of the participating teams wondered what the New York Mets had been thinking.

"Why'd they let Murphy go?" he asked, incredulously.

On Monday, the Miami Marlins fired hitting coach Barry Bonds, one of the greatest home run hitters in MLB history.

Later in the day an MLB coach told Kevin Kernan of the New York Post that Marlins manager Don Mattingly would have resigned if Bonds had remained with the team. 

Manager Terry Collins didn't hesitate to use his All-Star closer like his counterpart Buck Showalter did, but the results for New York Mets were the same as they were for the Baltimore Orioles in the Wild Card Game—an abrupt end to a promising season.

The Miami Marlins officially picked up the contract option on outfielder Ichiro Suzuki on Wednesday to keep him with the organization for the 2017 season. 

When the 2016 MLB season began, few people figured the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants would be here.

Sure, a majority of baseball pundits and fans expected both teams to be playing in October. But most thought they'd be respective division winners readying for the National League Division Series—not participants in the Wild Card Game.

Barry Bonds’ tenure with the Miami Marlins is reportedly over after just one season.

Jon Heyman of Today’s Knuckleball cited sources who said the Marlins elected to let the hitting coach go on Monday.

For the second time in as many years, the New York Mets are headed to the postseason.

By virtue of Saturday's 5-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies, the Mets clinched a wild-card berth a week after the Washington Nationals celebrated their National League East title.

The Atlanta Braves have reportedly begun the process of interviewing in-house candidates for their vacant managerial position, but they still plan to speak with other options from outside the organization.
