We've talked endlessly about Miguel Cabrera winning the AL MVP award over Mike Trout, and that's a debate we're not going to get into anymore. But looking at the balloting, there were plenty of players that didn't receive nearly enough support in either league for their performances this season. Here are some of them. Ben […]

With the announcements of the Cy Young awards on Wednesday and the MVP awards on Thursday, we are officially in full-blown offseason mode. The 2012 season is in our rear-view mirror, and we have nothing to do but look forward to 2013 with the shaping of rosters for each team through trades and free agency. […]

Upton is being courted by many teams so far this winter, but two have jumped to the forefront as the favorites: the Phillies and Braves, NL East rivals. 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 […]

We've heard over and over again that his free agent class is one of the weakest in years. If you need actual proof of that, look no further than the fact that a 37-year old corner outfielder coming off a 16-homer season is the hottest commodity on the free agent market. Yes, that's right, Torii […]

Where do you even start with this? The Marlins had a $116 million payroll in 2012. They went all in with new players, a new stadium, a new name…and then they blew it up after a 69 win season. And I mean blew it up. Big free agent signee Jose Reyes? Gone. Frontline starter Josh […]

After yesterday's monster Blue Jays-Marlins trade, I think we can officially say that the offseason has begun. We also have our first major Twitter incident of the offseason involving a superstar (sorry, Todd Coffey), with that involving a very angry Giancarlo Stanton.

The odd pattern of middle relievers signing multi-year deals looks like it will continue on Tuesday as the defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants will be the latest to join the party. Jeremy Affeldt, who has been a key cog in the Giants bullpen over the past four seasons, is close to inking a […]
