New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox Remind That Rivals Can Stand United

On a normal night at Yankee Stadium, you're not going to hear too many kind words about the city of Boston. Not as long as those blasted Red Sox are stationed there, anyway.

But Tuesday was no normal night at the stadium. In response to the horrible tragedy that occurred on Monday, the Yankees organization had nothing but love in its heart for Boston.

For at least one day, there is no rivalry. Just fellowship in a time when it is needed.

United We Stand: Thoughts on the New York Yankees Tribute to Boston

Over the last several years, the famous Red Sox and Yankees rivalry has been said to be dead, or at the very least, diminished. But no matter where the rivalry stands today it remains—and has always been—one of the greatest, longest-standing rivalries in sports.

MLB Prospects Maximizing Their Trade Value After Hot 2013 Starts

It’s only two weeks into the minor league season, but that doesn’t mean a prospect’s trade value can’t increase or decline based on performance thus far.

Many prospects have questions surrounding them heading into a new season, especially in regards to their ability to handle a new level or bounce back from a poor season. Getting off to a great start can ease the minds of their own organization and open up the eyes of teams potentially interested in acquiring them.

Red Sox Release Uniforms Honoring Victims of Boston Marathon Tragedy

The Red Sox are in Cleveland on Tuesday night to take on the Indians, but it was obvious that everyone involved in the contest had their hearts back in Boston, where the city is still dealing with the aftermath of bombings at the end of Monday's Boston Marathon.

In an effort to honor the victims of the tragic bombing, the Red Sox showed their support by hanging a jersey with Boston's area code (617) in their dugout at Progressive Field (via Red Sox Instagram):

Is Jordany Valdespin the Mets' Answer in the Leadoff Spot?

The New York Mets are playing some great ball right now, and despite the fact that the season is still very young, there are more than a few reasons to expect much of the same in the coming months.

Johnny Cueto Injury: Updates on Reds Star's Arm

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto left Saturday's National League Central road clash with the Pittsburgh Pirates in the fifth inning with an apparent right triceps injury.

Dodgers Hottest Starts to the Season That Will Continue

The Los Angeles Dodgers have a solid 6-4 record this season, largely due to hot starts from a few key players. With four of the five NL West teams posting winning records through the first 10 games of the 2013 season, those Dodgers must continue to produce if Los Angeles is going to emerge as division champs.

Toronto Blue Jays: Why Brett Lawrie Is the Toronto Blue Jays' X-Factor

One bad stretch of 10 games for the Toronto Blue Jays and all of a sudden it seems like the sky is falling in Toronto.

Admittedly, Toronto has played some awful baseball to start the 2013 season, but at 4-6, it's not as though Toronto has killed their preseason aspirations of reaching the playoffs for the first time in two decades.

Picking the Early Breakout Stars of the NL Central

The National League Central is filled with talent, and Chicago Cubs pitcher Jeff Samardzija leads the list of players who are going to have breakout seasons.

With the Houston Astros no longer in the division, teams in the NL Central will face each other 19 times this season. 

Last season featured Andrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates as the breakout star of the division. There probably won't be a performance like that from any of the players on this list, but these players will certainly make a name for themselves this season.
