Bryce Harper may or may not be ready to be the MVP for the Washington Nationals, but one thing is certain: He's already living the MVP lifestyle.  Fresh off of tearing up Spring Training and homering not once but twice on Opening Day, a 2-0 Nats victory, Harper was on the guest list for a […]

Justin Verlander is a no-hit pitcher. But he's also a no-hit hitter. It's like he's pitching to himself almost. In his career during interleague play, Verlander is 0-for-20 with 13 strikeouts and his seven other outs weren't exactly results of bad luck. But Verlander is trying to change that. It's no secret around Detroit that […]

Chan Ho Park made a pretty nice Major League career out of pitching. In fact, at the age of 38, he's still pitching over in South Korea, last I checked. He provided 17 years of service for seven different big league teams and, on October 1, 2010, he became the winningest Asian pitcher in MLB […]

A common baseball adage is throw [the barrel of] your bat at the ball. Cincinnati Reds third baseman Todd Frazier took that to heart on Sunday while facing the soft-tossing, 49-year-old lefty Jamie Moyer. With the bases empty and one out in the bottom of the fourth inning, Frazier waited back on a 72 mph […]

Rosenthal believes that they will be “well north” of the free agent deal Miguel Tejada (6 years, $72 million) and Nick Markakis (6 years, $66.1 million) signed.  Jones is earning $6.15 million this year and has another year of arbitration available before becoming a free agent in 2013.
