There’s a glut of 1B/DH/OF types in Oakland (and quite frankly, in Cleveland too), and one of those players seems likely to be moved this winter. The A’s are talking to the Cleveland Indians about Brandon Moss, and the Tribe is “optimistic” that a deal will get done between the two clubs. The 31-year old […]

The minor league affiliate shuffle claimed the Daytona Cubs this year after Chicago moved their high-A affiliate to Myrtle Beach. With the Reds jumping to Daytona, the organization would need a rebrand. They announced today that they’d be known as the Dayton Tortugas, and their new logo and uniform is incredible. We are extremely excited […]

Chicago Cubs reliever Pedro Strop was involved in a car accident in the Dominican Republic, and after looking at his car, it’s pretty shocking that initial reports about his condition are positive. Rumors are circulating that Strop was racing when the accident occurred, though they haven’t been confirmed. You’d think Dominican players would be a […]

For the 2015 season, the Huntsville Stars (AA affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers) will be playing in Biloxi, Mississippi.  The move necessitated a name and logo change, which would be determined in a “name the team” contest. Nearly 60,000 votes later, the winner was chosen – the Biloxi Shuckers It’s…beautiful. This is everything that Minor […]
