Los Angeles lost 8-5 on opening day in Denver with a couple of key mistakes playing a big role in the disappointing start to the team’s title defense.

Justin Turner robbed teammate Cody Bellinger of a home run on opening day as part of a blunder that cost the Dodgers a run.

Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant and Javier Baez, keys to the Cubs’ success in recent years, are each entering the final years of their contract.

Jackie Bradley is trying to get comfortable with the Milwaukee Brewers after spending nearly a decade with the Boston Red Sox organization.

The Chicago White Sox’s exhibition game against the Milwaukee Brewers was Tony La Russa’s first as a manager since the 2011 World Series.
