While some love his enthusiasm for the game, others have grown tired of it, including some of his former Indian teammates according to Zach Meisel of Cleveland.com. According to Meisel, Swisher’s attitude had become grating among some of his […]

Toronto Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos told Sportsnet’s

The San Diego Padres entered the 2015 with justifiably higher hopes than past years. After finishing under .500 for four straight seasons, the club opted for change, axed GM Josh Byrnes, and hired former Texas Rangers assistant general manager A.J. Preller to rejuvenate the franchise. Almost immediately, Preller went on trade bonanza, acquiring Matt Kemp, […]

The Toronto Blue Jays went all-in during last week’s trade deadline, acquiring two of the biggest names on the market – ace pitcher David Price and shortstop Troy Tulowitzki. While those moves still have some Blue Jays fans asking to be pinched to ensure it’s not all a dream, the club have instantly benefited from having the […]

MLB.com is reporting Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson has decided he won’t be able to pitch again this season and is looking to have surgery on his elbow. After going to team manager Mike Scioscia with the news,  the team officially diagnosed Wilson with “left elbow impingement secondary to arthritis,” which he’ll seek a second opinion […]

The Miami Marlins are a bloody mess. The team today announced they’re trading pitcher Mat Latos, outfielder Mike Morse and a compensation pick (no.34) to the Los Angeles Dodgers for three prospects and cap relief per the Miami Herald’s Clark Spencer. So why would the Marlins give away a pitcher who they traded a pretty […]

This is a sentence I can’t believe I’m typing – the Toronto Blue Jays have acquired shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and reliever LaTroy Hawkins from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for shortstop Jose Reyes, minor league pitchers Jeff Hoffman, Miguel Castro and Jesús Tinoco. The Blue Jays lineup, somehow, just got even more potent. Tulowitzki will enter the […]

The team announced on Tuesday they’re optioning opening day starter Yordano Ventura as the corresponding move to Jason Vargas coming off the DL. The move […]

Singers can’t catch breaks at baseball events these days. Actor Corey Feldman, known prominently for roles in Lost Boys and The Goonies, was singing at an event for the State College Spikes, a Short Season-A affilate of the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night, and apparently things didn’t go so well. Here’s video of the […]

To say Seattle Mariners catchers have been “abysmal” is disrespectful to the word abysmal. Just how bad have Mariners backstops been? The club’s collective catchers are batting .150. The Mets (.176), Reds (.174), Giants (.165) and Nationals (.160) pitching staffs (> 100+ plate appearances) all have better averages at the plate. That’s horrendous. Seattle hoped 24-year-old Mike […]

Skimming through the All-Star game roster this year, there are some names that shouldn’t surprise: Mike Trout, Josh Donaldson and Bryce Harper. Not all All-Stars are MVP candidates and studs. In 2012, the Chicago Cubs needed a first baseman with Anthony Rizzo still in the minors and journeyman Bryan LaHair snatched up the starting job. […]

File this one under weird. Robot Pop singer Ariana Grande was set to sing during this Saturday’s pre-All-Star Game concert. That was until TMZ released a video showing the 22-year-old caught on security camera in a California donut shop licking donuts and saying “I hate Americans, I hate America.” That’s a sentence I’d never thought […]
