Hank Aaron has every right to locate a baseball card as coveted as the original icon when a player’s name can be said in the same line as Babe Ruth regarding record-breaking and record-holding career home run batters. Hank Williams’ star quality level was recognized by the Boston Braves, who subsequently changed their name to […]

April will see the resumption of action on the baseball field, with the MLB season set to start up once again. Whilst the Dodgers, Yankees and White Sox will all be hoping to claim the top prize at the end of the campaign, there are a group of teams going through a period of rebuilding. […]

For years, the general assumption has been that teams flying from one coast to another or skipping over two time zones may be more vulnerable to jet lag. Now, unless it is reviewed soon by the government, we have scientific data to suggest that is actually the case. The National Academy of Sciences concluded Major League […]

The good times are rolling in Cleveland for the local sports scene (pay no attention to the Browns), and Major League Baseball is hoping that will still be the case two years from now. That is because the MLB All-Star Game is being slated to return to Cleveland for the first time since 1997 for […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have spent at least $200 million on their payroll in every season since 2013. They’ll once again eclipse the mark in 2017. The team already has $187 million committed to just 11 players on their roster (along with seven players not currently on their roster, major league or otherwise), and that’s […]

The MLB Winter Meetings have pretty much concluded, with many executives, agents, and members of the media leaving Washington DC on Wednesday night or Thursday morning. Which teams and players came out ahead, and which look worse than they did at the end of the week? Good question. We’ve got you covered. WINNER: Chicago White Sox […]

The newest member of the Colorado Rockies is shortstop/outfielder Ian Desmond, who inked a five-year, $70 million deal with the team on Wednesday morning. This is fine. The money isn’t outrageous. Five years isn’t too long. Giving up the 11th overall pick in the MLB Draft to sign Desmond is a bit short-sighted, but whatever. […]

If there was one thing apparent in the Red Sox quick exit from the Postseason this year it was that while they had the offense to contend with any team in baseball, they were missing the rotational depth to compete with the more well rounded contenders like Cleveland and Toronto. They just completed the biggest […]

Okay, now this is some quality hot stove cooking. USA Today reports that the Nationals are preparing for life after Bryce Harper. According to Bob Nightengale, Harper is seeking the biggest contract in the history of the sport. And then some, actually: The Nationals, who had begun preliminary negotiations this year to retain Harper beyond 2018, […]

When Rich Hill was healthy in 2016, he was fantastic. He pitched to a 2.12 ERA, struck out 129, and walked just 33. The problem, as always, with Hill was his health – he made just 20 starts and pitched 110 2/3 innings. He’s topped those marks just once in his career, way back in […]

Last winter, the Giants went into free agency knowing they needed to upgrade their starting rotation if they hoped to get back to the playoffs. They spent big on Jeff Samardzija and Johnny Cueto, won the Wild Card game, and gave the Cubs all they could handle in the NL Division Series until their bullpen […]

The Miami Marlins are in the market for a closer this week at MLB’s Winter Meetings. This is a bit surprising, considering AJ Ramos has saved 72 games for the club over the last two years while striking out 160 hitters in 134 1/3 innings. It’s even more surprising when you hear that the Marlins are […]

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, we saw what might be our first legitimately significant trade in Major League Baseball’s offseason, and the first of Mike Hazen’s tenure as general manager. The Arizona Diamondbacks sent Jean Segura, Mitch Haniger and Zac Curtis to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for Taijuan Walker and Ketel Marte. Obviously, Segura and […]
