During the 2012 regular season, the Chicago Cubs managed to lock up one of their core pieces for the future when they signed Starlin Castro to a six-year contract extension. On Sunday night, the nailed down another piece of that core with an extension of his own. The Cubs and first baseman Anthony Rizzo agreed […]

This season hasn't gotten off to the start that the Chicago Cubs would have liked. And if you've paid even the slightest bit of attention to this organization over the course of the past couple of years, it should come as no surprise at all that they currently sit at 5-12, at the bottom of […]

Lost in the shuffle of all of the nonsensical contract extensions that were signed through Major League Baseball was the fact that the Arizona Diamondbacks and Paul Goldschmidt agreed to a contract extension of their own. This one may actually pan out to be the best signing of the day, if not the most rational. […]

Continuing from this morning's season preview of the Diamondbacks… Can the Diamondbacks' new-look outfield effectively replace Chris Young & Justin Upton? This is going to be something to keep an eye on for this Diamondbacks team throughout the entire 2013 campaign. They lost some star power, and quite a bit of power, when they sent […]

After a fantastic season in 2011, the 2012 campaign proved to be quite the letdown for the Arizona Diamondbacks. They were middle-of-the-road as far as their offense goes, in nearly every statistical category. Same goes for their pitching, where they hovered around the middle of the league in every category there as well. Which is […]

Continuing from our season preview of the White Sox earlier today… Can the White Sox carry their success from last season over into 2013? There are quite a few questions for this White Sox team heading into the new season, but they all funnel into this one gigantic question. Was last year a fluke? Or […]

Though they didn't make it through to the postseason, the Chicago White Sox put together a much better season in 2012 than many were expecting. A small collapse in the final month of the season allowed the future American League Champion Detroit Tigers to grab the Central Division title. As disappointing as it was for […]

There isn't too much to be excited about for the 2013 Chicago Cubs. That's kind of what you expect after a team that lost over 100 games in 2012. But let's pretend for a second that the Cubs are actually going to make some noise in 2013. Seriously, really use your imagination. If the Cubs […]

It's almost here Chicago Cubs fans. Another season of complete and utter futility. After crossing the century mark for losses last season, finishing with 101 losses, the 2013 campaign brings about more of the same for the Cubs, as they continue their epic rebuild of nearly the entire franchise. Will 2013 be any easier to […]

After winning 90 games in 2012, it's pretty clear that the Tampa Bay Rays have established themselves as perennial playoff contenders, even if they didn't make the playoffs last year. But with teams battling age and injury (New York) and teams expected to take a step back in 2013 (Baltimore), the field is a bit […]

What else can baseball fans do in January but dream of October? In You May Say I'm a Dreamer, the Outside Corner staff will imagine the route to a World Series in 2013 title for all 30 teams. What a difference a year makes. In just one year, the Washington Nationals managed to go from […]

The Philadelphia Phillies head into the 2013 hoping to rebound from what was a miserable 2012 campaign, for the most part. Not even their strong run down the stretch could save them from finishing third in the division. But with a couple of tweaks and an apparently healthy roster, they could be ready to make […]

The Philadelphia Phillies fell flat on their faces for the majority of the 2012 season. It took a strong run towards the end of the year to get them back to .500 for the year. And even then, they still fell 17 games back of the division-winning Washington Nationals. Heading into 2013, the Phils and […]

The Los Angeles Angels head into 2013 as a nearly unanimous favorite to capture the AL West this season, if not take home the pennant in the American League. With the addition of Josh Hamilton to a lineup that laready featured a few big names in it, it isn't difficult to see why. Aside from […]
