The Los Angeles Dodgers have a plethora of talent in their outfield. So much so, that they probably can’t keep all of it. Someone has to be the odd man out. And, Dave Stewart, the agent for Matt Kemp, thinks his client could be traded at next week’s winter meetings. He said he has a […]
Trade rumors involving the Philadelphia Phillies and Jonathan Papelbon are nothing new. We’ve been hearing these reports/prayers since the trade deadline. So, it should come as no surprise that Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the Phillies are trying to move him this offseason. “Sources: #Phillies trying to trade Papelbon,” Rosenthal tweets succinctly. Papelbon will be […]
Free agent outfielder Curtis Granderson is commanding interest on the open market. He’s been linked to the Chicago White Sox, Seattle Mariners and Boston Red Sox, but it’s the New York Mets who will probably go overboard and do something dumb. According to beat writer Andy Martino, the Mets are discussing the possibility guaranteeing a […]
Ted Lilly has not pitched much in the last two seasons. He’s started just 13 games in the last two seasons and, at 37-years old, the end of the road is nigh. And according to Lilly himself, the end of the road is really nigh. Like, now. “My body in general is telling me that […]
The St. Louis Cardinals have supposedly thinking about moving Matt Carpenter to third base and allowing Kolten Wong to take over at second. So, what would that mean for David Freese? Exactly, he gon’ hafta go. And sources tell Ken Rosenthal of Foxsports.com that the Los Angeles Angeles of Anaheim from California in the United […]
We mentioned previously that New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano is looking for a huge payday in free agency this offseason. Like, $300 million-type of payday. Like, that’s not happening-type of payday. So far, there really hasn’t been a sniff in terms of him getting what he wants. And a person close to him […]
Pot stirrer Howard Eskin had a huge report on Tuesday night regarding the Philadelphia Phillies. He said that Phillies GM Ruben Amaro, Jr. was deep in talks with the Toronto Blue Jays for slugger Jose Bautista. “#phillies GM Ruben Amaro deep in serious talks w #bluejays to acquire OF Jose Batista. Can also play 3rd. […]
The Los Angeles Dodgers have a ton of good players. And they might have one or two too many in the outfield. With Yasiel Puig ready to play every day in 2014, the Dodgers need to do something with Carl Crawford, Matt Kemp or Andre Ethier. Okay, they don’t need to, but it would be […]
Anyone who knows anything about baseball or sports in general isn’t surprised by this. New York Mets pitcher Johan Santana will not be back with the team in 2014 after they declined to pick up his option. Santana was due to make $25 million next season and ain’t no way in hell anyone is paying […]
You may or may not have heard that the Boston Red Sox won their third World Series title since 2004 on Wednesday night. After hearing about how they were lovable losers for years and years and years, they’re actually a powerhouse team. So, stop with the whole feeling bad for them crap. So now, they […]
We mentioned previously that the Cincinnati Reds could very well shop second baseman Brandon Phillips this offseason. He’s due $50 million over the next four seasons and he didn’t make many friends in Cincy with his off-the-field comments about being lied to. We mentioned the New York Yankees as a possible destination should they not […]
Cincinnati Reds general manager Walk Jocketty has said that the team isn’t interested in signing Cuban infielder Alexander Guerrero, but I’m not exactly so sure. According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Guerrero projects as a second baseman and the Reds could view him as a replacement for Brandon Phillips, who pissed off a lot of people […]
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher David Price is one of the best pitchers in baseball. He also has two years left on his contract. So…they should definitely trade him. At least that’s what he – and a lot of other people – thinks will happen. “If you go with what’s been done in the past, I […]
This is a shame. We knew that New York Mets young ace Matt Harvey was having elbow issues, but now we know the extent. According to Brad Como of SNY, Harvey is going to undergo Tommy John surgery to fix the elbow. “BREAKING: @SNY has learned that Matt Harvey will undergo surgery to repair a […]
Jesus Christ, indeed. Former two-time World Series champion Chad Curtis is in a bit of trouble. The kind of trouble when you touch 15- and 16-year old girls in places that they’d rather you didn’t. This summer, Curtis was found guilty of six counts of criminal sexual conduct. On Thursday, he was sentenced to seven […]
The Atlanta Braves cannot be thrilled that their highest paid player will not be able to help them in the playoffs. On one hand, Dan Uggla can’t help them win games if he’s not on the roster. On the other hand, Dan Uggla can’t help them win games if he’s on the roster. It’s official, […]
Robinson Cano, we don’t blame you for asking. But, you have to be out of your damned mind. We know you’re a free agent. We know you’re going to get paid well, but holy hell get a grip. Sources tell CBSSports.com‘s Jon Heyman that Cano requested a $300 million contract from the New York Yankees […]
The injuries are piling up for former Philadelphia Phillies ace Roy Halladay. It’s a shame, but it’s inevitable. They guy was an all-time great, but the end of the road is probably here. Halladay faced three Miami Marlins on Monday night and walked two of them. He never topped 83 m.p.h. on the gun. He […]
It’s been a wild year for Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Domonic Brown. He had about a three-week tear where it seemed like he was hitting home runs at every at-bat. After cooling off a bit (really, who could keep up the pace he was on?), he suffered an Achilles injury. While it seems the smart thing […]
The New York Yankees have a bit of a dilemma on their hands. They’ve maintained that they want to re-sign soon-to-be-free-agent 2B Robinson Cano, but how far will they go? Cano is hitting .308 and having another stellar season, but will the Yankees go overboard to keep him? President Randy Levine said they want to […]
This isn’t even news anymore. I don’t know when the end of the road will be for New York Yankees SS Derek Jeter, but it can’t be far off. One of the Yanks all-time greats is hurt…again. Last October, Jeter fractured his ankle and has made his living this season not from running to and […]
Many expected the Philadelphia Phillies to be players of some sort at the trade deadline. Would they be buyers? Would they be sellers? Would they do absolutely nothing? Option three was the answer. They didn’t do anything. So, better late than never? The Phils have traded one of their few good players, Michael Young, to […]
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig is extremely talented. But, there also seems to be a bit of underlying knucklehead too. There have been questions in the past about his discipline and that might be coming to the surface. Puig is not in the Dodgers lineup Tuesday night and it could have something to do […]
So, the rich get richer. The Los Angeles Dodgers have been on a tear to end all tears lately and it looks like they’ll be getting even better. Remember Brian Wilson from the San Francisco Giants? The Fear the Beard guy? Yeah, he had Tommy John surgery but recently latched on with the Dodgers. He […]
The Philadelphia Phillies have been a woefully underachieving franchise this season. Either that or expectations for this roster were way out of whack. The latter is probably true. There are many reasons that the Phillies have been so poor. The outfield is atrocious, defense is poor, bullpen is an unmitigated disgrace, injuries, lineup blows…the list […]
