If reports are to be believed, Felix Hernandez is considering a contract extension offer from the Seattle Mariners for $100 million over four years. That's an amazing offer, one well worthy of King Felix's talent, but it is also a team-friendly deal, in relative terms. Recall now that Zack Greinke just received a six-year, $147 […]

The number of people who believed in the overachieving 2012 Baltimore Orioles, even when they were locked in battle in the ALDS, could probably be counted on one hand. Seeing how they'd been the unofficial doormat of the AL East for the previous fourteen seasons, it is no wonder that their unexpected success was received […]

Thanks to Manti Te'o and his infamous fake dead girlfriend, there is approximately zero people in the world who don't know what "catfishing" is. As bizarre as that story might be, it seems that college sports heroes being targeted in such schemes is now a thing. As it turns out, Michael Roth, the hero of […]

Chipper Jones has been doing a good job keeping himself busy in the first few months of his retirement. He's been out and about with his new Playboy model girlfriend, spending time promoting his "VIP" Super Bowl party and generally getting chubbier. But it isn't all glitz and glamor for the future Hall of Famer. […]

One of the running gags of the MLB off-season thus far has been the Dodgers and their new found wealth. A day can't seem to go by without a rumor involving the Dodgers cropping up and that rumor is almost entirely based on the premise that they have endless piles of cash at their disposal. […]

The Winter Meetings have begun, which means so has all the wheeling and dealing. Traditionally, this is where the biggest deals go down in the off-season, both for free agents and trades. We all know who the big name free agents are this winter, but who are the major trade chips that could get dealt […]

You can rest easy, Mets fans. David Wright won't be going anywhere for a long, long time with the news that the franchise third baseman has agreed to a seven-year contract extension that will pay him $122 million. That deal makes Wright the richest player in team history (if you include the $16 million he […]

Free agents are normally something fans get excited about when their favorite team announces a signing. Alas, not all signings are not created equal. For some, you'll want to dance in the street with joy. For others, you'll be struck with immediate buyer's remorse. And then there are those that make you downright sick to […]

Stop me if you've heard this one before, "The Dodgers are considered the front runners to sign Zack Greinke." Or was it Hiroki Kuroda? Or Anibal Sanchez? Or Kyuji Fujikawa? Or Kevin Youkilis? Or how about just every free agent ever? It seems that no matter what position a player plays or how much money […]

If you follow college football even a little bit, you know that conference expansion and realignment is all the rage right now. This trend has been going on for the last year or two in the NCAA, but it received new life with the recent news that Rutgers and Maryland would be jumping to the […]

It is a foregone conclusion that when the American League MVP award is announced later today that Miguel Cabera will be declared the winner. The logic goes that Cabrera and his Triple Crown will simply be too much for the more traditional voters that make up a major bloc in the Baseball Writers Association of […]

The voting for the Cy Young Award in both leagues this year promised to be intriguing and they did not disappoint with R.A. Dickey winning the award in the National League and David Price receiving the AL honor. For Dickey, the win was truly historic as he becomes the first knuckleballer ever to win the […]
