The surging Kansas City Royals are looking for every little boost they can get to help them either chase down the Tigers in the AL Central or to snag one of the two Wild Card spots. Earlier this week they acquired infielder Jamey Carroll to help fill their season-long struggle to find a capable second […]

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the trade waters…. the Mystery Team strikes again! According to Ken Rosenthal, the White Sox placed outfielder Alex Rios on revocable waivers where he was claimed by The Mystery Team: Sources:

So, the trade deadline turned out to be kind of a bust. Anytime when the highlight of deadline day is all the puns that came from the Orioles trading L.J. Hoes is a pretty good sign that nothing exciting happened. Fortunately for those of us who love our trade porn, the August waiver period should […]

The trade deadline is fast approaching and thus far there has been very little activity on the trade market. That isn't due to a lack of options though as there are a number of quality players who seem quite likely to get moved between now and July 31st. The question isn't so much if those […]

At 46-50, it is hard to imagine that the Colorado Rockies would be seriously considering buying a the trade deadline, but thanks to the National League West being a collective disappointment, the Rockies find themselves just 4.5 games out of the division lead. For a franchise with memories of "Rocktober" still fresh in their minds, […]

Every so often at the trade deadline a star player gets traded that nobody saw coming. We here at The Outside Corner, however, are not intimidated by the lack of prescience of others. As such, we shall attempt to identify who some of the players that are candidates for the big, deadline surprise deal could […]

The AL West might be the most intriguing division in baseball to watch at the deadline. The division possesses two teams that will (or at least should) be holding fire sales, one big money giant that hasn't yet decided to buy or sell, one contender with a trigger happy GM and another contender desperate to […]

Chris Davis has been many things this season. He is a breakout star. He is the league leader in home runs. He is the league leader in slugging percentage. He is the best player on a surprising (again) Baltimore Orioles team. He is a top contender for the AL MVP. He is arguably the best […]

The Philadelphia Phillies are 36-41 and have the second-worst run differential in the National League (and the third worst in baseball). They are eight games back in the NL East and nine games back for the NL Wild Card. By every appearance the Phillies are not a team in contention for a playoff berth and […]

So, Bud Selig, about that whole Oakland A's moving to Santa Clara thing. Any chance we might be able to speed up the process? No rush or anything, but you might want to know that the O.co Coliseum, where the A's currently play, is flooded with raw sewage. That seems kind of relevant, no? Yes, […]

Dodgers GM Ned Colletti is having a rough month. He spent the off-season handing out other people's money to build a team that he, and many experts, thought would contend for a World Series. Instead, the Dodgers are mired in last place in the NL West and Colletti is spending much of his time trying […]

Last night's Diamondbacks-Dodgers brawl was one of the ugliest in recent memory. Punches were thrown. Coaches were fighting with each other. A coach nearly got thrown over a rail into the dugout like he was being ejected from the ring in the Royal Rumble. As Vin Scully so eloquently put it, "That's fertilizer." The whole […]

Really, Dodgers? We're going to do this again? Really? Just a few days shy of the first anniversary of Andre Ethier signing a five-year, $85 million contract extension, the Dodgers are said to be looking to trade away the former All-Star… for the third time. Yes, that fickle GM Ned Colletti is rumored to be […]
