Things move fast in baseball, huh? On Wednesday, we wrote about where Michael Bourn could potentially land, and those destinations will be magnified […]

It's been an odd offseason for starting pitchers. The top name on the market, Zack Greinke, signed the largest contract in history for a right-hander. Middle of the road and back-end options like Dan Haren, Joe Blanton, Kevin Correia, Jeremy Guthrie, and Brandon McCarthy have all signed short-term, relatively low money deals. There have been […]

Michael Bourn's offseason hasn't gone exactly how the free agent center fielder dreamed of at the beginning of October. Bourn was looking for a nine figure, six year deal from a team to man center field for the majority of the rest of the decade, but hasn't found any takers. In fact, many of the […]

In case you've been living under a rock for a few days, the Royals made a somewhat surprising trade this week, when they dealt an enormous plethora of prospects (OF Wil Myers, LHP Mike Montgomery, RHP Jake Odorizzi, and 3B Patrick Leonard) in return for two legitimate starting pitchers in James Shields and Wade Davis […]

The neverending cycle of contract negotiations between the New York Mets and RA Dickey continues, but it seems clear to me that the Mets (like most other teams around baseball) have no idea what Dickey's value is. Dickey is a 38-year old knuckleballer coming off of a Cy Young Award winning season, and the Mets […]
