Cole Hamels of the Phillies eliminated all of the bad taste from his last two starts out of scouts’ mouths on Saturday when he no-hit the Chicago Cubs. It’s the third no-hitter of the 2015, the 13th in Phillies history, and the second Hamels has been involved in following last year’s combined no-hitter by the […]

Hey, the New York Mets got some offense! Sure, neither of the bats they acquired were the caliber of Justin Upton, but every little bit helps! On Friday, the club picked up Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson from the Atlanta Braves, sending minor league pitchers Jon Gant and Rob Whalen to Atlanta. Uribe is the […]

The first reliever is off of the trade market – the Miami Marlins are dealing ex-closer Steve Cishek to the St. Louis Cardinals. Cishek will probably roll off a run of something like two runs in 25 innings after the trade, because that’s just what happens with the Cardinals, dammit. He has an ugly 4.50 […]

After a week off, we’re back! Hopefully, the dingers over the last week and a half are enough of an apology. I’m even giving you an EXTRA dong this week because of ties! 1. JD Martinez vs Taijuan Walker, 466 feet (July 21st) When you’re hitting balls on top of the camera well, I don’t think […]

Aramis Ramirez is heading back where it started. The Milwaukee Brewers have dealt the third baseman to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for minor league pitcher Yhonathan Barrios. 12 years ago to this day, Pittsburgh traded Ramirez (and Kenny Lofton!) to the Cubs for a steaming pile of garbage. Now, he’s back. The 37-year old […]

One name that is coming up in trade talks may shock Atlanta Braves fans. 24-year old starter Julio Teheran is reportedly on the market, with Fox’s Ken Rosenthal quoting rival executives as saying the Braves are “quite open” to dealing the Colombian hurler. Teheran is making just $1 million this season, and is signed through […]

Add another bat to the trade market – Texas Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland is apparently attracting plenty of interest as we enter the final week and a half before the trade deadline. But according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox, Texas isn’t inclined to move Moreland. The Rangers are drawing significant interest in first baseman […]

The Detroit Tigers are struggling this year. The reigning four-time AL Central champions are at .500, 46-46, through 92 games, and are actually closer to being in last place in the AL Central (three games ahead of the White Sox) than being a playoff team (four games behind the Twins and Astros for the AL […]

The dysfunctional Philadelphia Phillies might hold off on dealing their best trade chip over the next two weeks. According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, it’s not a guarantee that Cole Hamels will be dealt before the trade deadline, and that incoming team president Andy MacPhail could wait until the winter. I actually […]

Each week, we count down the five longest home runs from the week that was. With only a three game sample size to work with (and the Home Run Derby, which we’re totally not breaking down), this week’s feature will be kicked back to next week. Thusly, we decided to instead recap the ten (well, […]
