It took six tries, but St. Louis Cardinals great Scott Rolen is heading to the Hall of Fame. He was the only member of the 2023 Hall of Fame class voted in by the Baseball Writers' Association of America this year. Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez fall short of inductionRight after Rolen was longtime Colorado Rockies first baseman Todd Helton, who finished just short of the threshold with 72.2%.

Beltran walked back the comment later, saying he hopes Judge will sign an extension. “Carlos is, he's my man, so I think he was just looking out, trying to have my back a little bit there,” Judge said after the game. “I kind of heard a little of the last couple innings of Carlos in the booth, and I think he's a little nervous but he's going to fit right in. “After opening day, like I’d said, I’ve got a job to do and I’ve got something to focus on,” Judge said. The Yankees and Judge so far have failed to reach a deal for 2022, which could result in the sides heading into arbitration during the season.

New York Yankees star Aaron Judge and general manager Brian Cashman had no update on a contract extension for the slugger with a potential deadline looming later this week.

With Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Curt Schilling off the ballot, next year’s Baseball Hall of Fame vote figures to be a bit less contentious.
