Kevin Millwood, who spent 2012 with the Seattle Mariners, is calling it a career after 16 seasons in the majors. Millwood reportedly only wanted to pitch near his home of Gainesville, Georgia, and the Braves (nor the Rays) showed any interest in him this offseason. For his career, Millwood finishes with a 169-152 record with […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=NfCm9P8naDQ During this Sunday's Super Bowl on CBS, baseball fans will see a familiar face in one of the expensive commercial spots: Springfield Cardinals hitting coach Phillip Wellman, who made headlines in 2007 as manager of the Mississippi Braves for a ridiculous mid-game tirade. In the ad for Volkswagen, Wellman (along with some other internet […]

This story isn't going anywhere anytime soon, folks. ESPN's Outside the Lines is reporting that Anthony Bosch (director of the Biogenesis clinic in Miami) would personally inject Alex Rodriguez with performance enhancing drugs at Rodriguez's home in Miami on Biscayne Bay. The texts, the source said, usually came late at night, telling Anthony Bosch to […]

After initially saying that he was going to retire earlier this offseason, former Cincinnati Reds third baseman Scott Rolen has done an about-face, and now wants to play in 2013. Rolen is apparently seeking a salary similar to the $6.5 million he made in 2012. The Reds would be hard-pressed to fit him in their […]

There hasn't been […]

After the wildly ignorant comments of San Francisco 49ers defensive back Chris Culliver yesterday, you'll (hopefully) be pleased to know that not all professional athletes are total neanderthals. On a video podcast hosted by Robert Fick and Dmitri Young (which is a weird enough story unto itself), Jered Weaver and his brother Jeff made the […]

In light of the discussions that the Yankees will attempt (and likely fail) to void the remaining five years and $119 million left on Alex Rodriguez's contract, that got us thinking: what contracts would teams love to just completely wipe off their books? We did something similar to this in November of 2011, when we […]

Past Kyle Lohse and Javier Vazquez, the best free agent starting pitcher left on the market is probably Joe Saunders, last of the Orioles. Saunders reportedly has a two year, $15 million offer on the table, which is ridiculous to me. That's what Joe Blanton got from the Angels (plus a club option for a […]

Yesterday's news cycle was dominated by performance enhancing drugs in light of the Miami New-Times report about the Biogenesis clinic in Miami. As you'd expect, every major league player mentioned either had no domment on the matter, or denied any involvement. But of course, that hasn't stopped the Yankees from attempting to void Alex Rodriguez's […]

On Monday, the Tampa Bay Rays signed former Blue Jays second baseman Kelly Johnson to a one-year deal. The contract terms are currently unknown, but it's likely for no more than $3 million. Johnson's addition to the Rays roster will push Ben Zobrist to right field as the every day starter, but Zobrist will also […]

The Miami New-Times has a fantastic column up breaking down a Miami-area clinic called Biogenesis and it's chief, Anthony Bosch. Interviews with former employees and customers of the clinic confirm the records that the New-Times found, In reviewing records, the New-Times has found links between Biogenesis, PEDs, and several MLB stars. Some of those MLB […]
