The Tigers are officially “rebooting”

0 comments by on 7/29/2015

The question about whether or not the Detroit Tigers are buyers or sellers has reportedly been answered – they’re selling. Specifically, they’re “rebooting” and listening on some of their impending free agents, including both David Price and Yoenis Cespedes. From ESPN’s Jayson Stark… Confirming an ESPN.com report, general manager Dave Dombrowski said he told multiple […]

Andrew McCutchen hit a ridiculous Little League homer

0 comments by TOC Locker

During Thursday’s Twins-Pirates game at Target Field, Andrew McCutchen hit one of the damnedest Little League home runs we can remember seeing. How was this scored? Good question! To the MLB.com box score we go… Andrew McCutchen singles on a line drive to right fielder Eddie Rosario. Travis Ishikawa scores. Jaff Decker scores. Andrew McCutchen […]

Diamondbacks interested in Aroldis Chapman for some reason

0 comments by

If your team is three games under .500, seven games out of first place, and 6.5 games out of a playoff spot, you know what you need? AN ELITE CLOSER! While it may seem ridiculous, that’s apparently the logic going through the head of Diamondbacks GM Dave Stewart, who confirmed his team is interested in […]

Mookie Betts makes great catch, but turns double into homer

0 comments by TOC Locker on 7/28/2015

Well, this has to suck. In the sixth inning of Tuesday’s White Sox-Red Sox game at Fenway Park, Mookie Betts made an outstanding catch to rob Jose Abreu of extra bases. Then he fell over the outfield wall, lost control of the ball, and a replay review turned the third out into a two-run homer. If […]

0 comments by

The Jonathan Papelbon saga is over. The Philadelphia Phillies finally pulled the trigger on trading their closer, agree to deal him within the NL East to the Washington Nationals for AA pitcher Nick Pivetta. Interestingly enough, as part of the agreement, Papelbon will be Washington’s closer in 2015 and his option for 2016 will become guaranteed. […]

Jonathan Papelbon will be traded…somewhere

0 comments by TOC Locker

The Jonathan Papelbon saga is approaching its close. According to Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia, the unhappy Phillies closer will be traded this week to a still unknown suitor. You wouldn’t know it from the scorn lobbed Papelbon’s way, but he’s actually pitched quite well this season. In 39 2/3 innings, he’s pitched to a 1.59 […]

Rockies blow minds, trade Troy Tulowitzki to Blue Jays

0 comments by

Remember all the talk about the Colorado Rockies not wanting to trade Troy Tulowitzki because he was the face of the franchise? Yeah, it was a bunch of crap. Tulowitzki is heading to the Toronto Blue Jays for Jose Reyes and a package of minor leaguers. Tulowitzki struggled early on for the Rockies this season, […]

The Royals are seeking second base upgrades

The Kansas City Royals traded for Johnny Cueto on Sunday, but they don’t appear to be done yet. The team needs at least one more bat, and right now, it looks like they’re focusing on replacing Omar Infante at second base. The targets? Reportedly, Martin Prado and Ben Zobrist. Infante, who nearly became an All-Star […]

Report: Brewers, Cardinals talking Adam Lind?

0 comments by TOC Locker

The St. Louis Cardinals may need some help at first base. Since Matt Adams went down for the year with a quad injury at the end of May, they’ve mainly played Mark Reynolds at first, and watched the strikeout machine do his thing by hitting .229/.312/.391 with nine homers and 89 strikeouts in 86 games.

The Astros actually rescheduled that Taylor Swift concert

0 comments by TOC Locker

Remember back in December, when everyone had a good laugh about the Astros saying that an October Taylor Swift concert could be rescheduled in the event of a playoff game? On Monday, the Astros announced the game was concert was being rescheduled to avoid conflict with a playoff game. Houston is a game back of […]

Indians, Rangers among teams hunting Carlos Gomez

0 comments by

Milwaukee Brewers center fielder Carlos Gomez is an increasingly popular trade target as we approach the deadline, and not just from teams immediately contending this season. Gomez is signed through 2016, and will make $9 million, meaning he’s more than just a rental. According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, the Indians and Rangers are […]

Sprinklers come on in the middle of minor league at bat

0 comments by TOC Locker

This isn’t something you see every day. During Sunday’s San Antonio Missions-Midland Rockhounds game, the sprinklers on the field came on in the middle of Benji Gonzalez’s at bat…right before Gonzalez tripled down the right field line. Logic eventually prevailed, Gonzalez’s triple was overturned, and the ball was ruled dead. He’d later ground out. What a […]

The Mariners turned a bizarre 3-6-2 triple play

0 comments by TOC Locker on 7/26/2015

On Sunday, the Seattle Mariners turned a triple play that will go down as one of the most bizarre I’ve ever seen. Ryan Goins grounded to Mark Trumbo at first base. Trumbo stepped on the bag for the first out, and threw to shortstop Brad Miller. Kevin Pillar got in a rundown, and Miller eventually […]

Reds officially trade Johnny Cueto to Royals

0 comments by

Well, that was a fun 12 or so of speculation. But finally, Johnny Cueto is a member of the Kansas City Royals. In return, the Cincinnati Reds will receive three pitchers – Brandon Finnegan, John Lamb, and Cody Reed. Cueto has had a great year for Cincinnati, though he struggled in his first two starts […]

Report: Medicals scuttled Royals’ deal for Cueto

0 comments by TOC Locker

On Saturday night, the Kansas City Royals  nearly made a blockbuster acquisition – starting pitcher Johnny Cueto of the Cincinnati Reds. However, the deal was quashed (for now, at least) because of some iffy medicals from one of the particulars going back to Cincinnati in the deal. How close was the deal to going through? Well, […]
