The headline seems like a rather obvious statement, but this Jon Heyman piece on CBS Sports seems to confirm what we all knew: the Indians are going to listen for offers on outfielder Shin-Soo Choo this offseason, and with his unwillingness to negotiate a contract extension, it seems likely that he's going to get moved.

Despite being on the wrong end of a Felix Hernandez perfect game, the Tampa Bay Rays are having a hellacious month. After a complete game shutout by Alex Cobb yesterday in a 5-0 win over the A's, the Rays are just 2.5 games out of the AL East lead, and have a 2.5 game cushion […]

Austin Jackson of the Detroit Tigers is one of the best fielders in baseball, yet he doesn't get talked about all the much for making extraordinary catches. Well in Thursday's Tigers-Blue Jays matinee, Jackson made one. In the tenth inning of a 2-2 game and Mike McCoy on second base, Toronto rookie Anthony Gose hit […]

In a little bit of an interesting note, each Arizona starter was a rookie, and Wade Miley ad Tyler Skaggs both shut down the slumping Miami team. Arizona is still in this playoff race at three games above .500 […]

The Oakland Athletics are on the top of the world…well, at least they were.

Colon's suspension comes just a week after Melky Cabrera of the Giants was nailed for 50 games […]

Felix Hernandez's perfect game against the Rays last week was one of the best sports moments of the year. One of the premier pitchers in baseball reaching hallowed ground? Yes please. Hernandez followed up his dominance last week with an oustanding performance last night, albeit one that wasn't perfect. In a 5-1 Mariners win over […]

The triple play is a rare feat in baseball, but it's not one of those extremely rare moments like the perfect game (well, before the last three years…) or the four homer game.
