The Astros' attempts to gain extra advantages isn't a recent development, but MLB has failed to police the issue.

The San Francisco Giants announced Tuesday that they've hired Gabe Kapler as their new manager. Kapler replaces Bruce Bochy, who retired after the season.

Baldelli beat the Yankees' Aaron Boone in a tight vote.

While L.A. ponders what's next after another postseason disappointment, rivals are assembling talent to challenge its dominance.

Kapler was fired last month by the Phillies, whom he managed for two seasons.

In his first full season at the helm, Mike Shildt led St. Louis to the National League Central crown, and on Tuesday, he was named the league's manager of the year, edging Milwaukee's Craig Counsell.

Angels general manager Billy Eppler said Tony La Russa will assist in all areas, including evaluations of players and minor-league development.
