(view this in non-proportional font like Courier)

why not use  just
/mlb/players/profile\?playerId=(\d+)\"\>([^<]+)\</a>
                               \__/      \___/
                                 │         │
                          $1 will catch    │
                         numeric playerID  │
                                           │
                                          $2 will catch
                                          player name

i would add optional spaces \s* , just in case:
/mlb/players/profile\?playerId=(\d+)\s*\"\s*\>\s*([^<]+)\s*\</a>

In minimalist fashion, for future:

\?playerId=(\d+).*?>(.+)</a>

You only need to identify the playerId item and extract the number,
whatever the path to that ID
After that, if for some reason another tag appears after that, it will
be ignored.
Assuming it's in a A element, then the closing </a> is sufficent to
detect.
