The trade will allow the team to keep Peter Bourjos (who

The Blue Jays put the capper on their outstanding offseason by acquiring RA Dickey from the Mets, and then agreeing to a contract extension […]

When the San Francisco Giants won the World Series in 2010, the team's bullpen was constructed in a way that most successful bullpens are: cheaply. Aside from Jeremy Affeldt, none of the Giants relievers on that 2010 team were signed to a multi-year contracts as free agents. Only Afefldt and Brian Wilson (through arbitration raises) […]

Baseball season may be behind us for the winter, but that doesn't mean teams aren't sending out holiday wishes to their fans.

It's been a long, hard fall from grace for the Minnesota Twins over the last two seasons. After a stretch where the team finished above .500 in nine of ten seasons, the Twins have been the bottom feeders of the AL Central in the last two years. They've lost a combined total of 195 games, […]

So…Josh Hamilton is an Angel. Who saw that coming? Not many, but it makes total sense. The Angels cleared payroll space down to $138 million, weren't overly impressed with the free agent pitching options, and saw an opportunity to strike a blow against the Texas Rangers.
