Last week, I mentioned that the Blue Jays had a very interesting trade chip in Travis Snider. Late tonight, Toronto cashed in that trade chip,

0 comments by Joe Lucia on 7/30/2012
News started to trickle out yesterday that Red Sox starter Josh Beckett might be on the market. Apparently, the Red Sox are listening on the 32-year old, but not actively shopping him. The usual suspects (Braves, Rangers, and Dodgers) have all called to express interest in Beckett. Beckett's career in Boston has been erratic (to […]

With the Cleveland Indians falling two games under .500, and five out of the wild card race, there has been rising interest into their star right fielder Shin-Soo Choo. Choo, who is making $4.9 million this year and is eligible for his final year of arbitration in 2013, would be more than a rental for […]

Dugout Digest – an inauspicious debut
0 comments by Joe Lucia
Anibal Sanchez made his Tigers debut yesterday, and well….it wasn't exactly what Detroit was hoping for. Sanchez pitched into the seventh inning, but didn't get an out before getting pulled. He allowed eight hits and five runs, walking three and striking out three. The major sticking point for Sanchez's debut: he allowed three homers to […]

Well, six years later, Mikulik struck again against the Charleston Riverdogs, a Yankees affiliate. After Cito Culver is apparently picked up, he somehow evades the tag and gets to third base. Mikulik's major […]

0 comments by Joe Lucia
I'm not someone who believes in factors outside of baseball, like curses, mythos, or some sort of higher being. But watching this Pirates team…there's something special going on here. The team was stuck in an early 3-0 deficit last night, and they battled back over the next four innings, tying the game at four going […]
