So, the trade deadline turned out to be kind of a bust. Anytime when the highlight of deadline day is all the puns that came from the Orioles trading L.J. Hoes is a pretty good sign that nothing exciting happened. Fortunately for those of us who love our trade porn, the August waiver period should […]

July marked a dramatic shift in the performances of several players that were having awesome seasons up until that point. Things might be just a little bit different in this one. AL Hitter of the Month Kyle Seager, Mariners. Flipping my coin gives Seager the nod by a nose over Mike Trout. While the Mariners […]

The 2013 MLB trade deadline didn't give us much excitement as anticipated. Only the three-team deal between the Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox provided some sizzle. This year's deadline dash may be more memorable for who wasn't traded and which teams didn't make a move.  But we did get some action […]

August 1st, 2013. The Pittsburgh Pirates are a major league best 65-42, and are first place in the NL Central by 2.5 games over the St Louis Cardinals. To put those 65 wins inn perspective, Pittsburgh won their 65th game last year on August 16th, a full two weeks later than this year. They also […]

The Bud Norris saga is finally over.

The Arizona Diamondbacks solidified their bullpen at the cost of depleting their major league rotation, sending

Mere hours from the trade deadline, the St Louis Cardinals are scrambling and it's for something they haven't had to worry about for years:

The trade deadline is upon us, as we're about seven hours away from 4 PM ET, the time by which all trades must be completed. After a busy Monday, Tuesday was much quieter…until the wee hours of the morning, when Jake Peavy went to the Red Sox and Jose Iglesias went to Detroit. The A's […]

As expected when he was scratched from his start for the Chicago White Sox earlier in the day, pitcher Jake Peavy was traded on Tuesday.  In less of a surprise, Peavy was dealt to the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox were among a handful of teams rumored to be pursuing a deal for the […]

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim continued dealing a day after trading Scott Downs, and have sent third baseman Alberto Callaspo to the Oakland Athletics in exchange for

The Brian Wilson sweepstakes (if you really want to call it a sweepstakes…more like a raffle for a fruit basket) has ended, and the winners are the

With the MLB trade deadline upon us and the Biogenesis PED scandal that could reportedly result in Alex Rodriguez getting a lifetime suspension, I realize there are far more pertinent issues in baseball to get worked up about right now.  However, there's a movement that appears to be developing throughout MLB, one that needs to […]

WOOHOO TRADES! Unfortunately, there weren't exactly huge names traded on Monday. Three players got dealt: all three were relievers. Jose Veras went to the Tigers, Scott Downs went to the Braves, and Jesse Crain went to the Rays. I'm sure there are going to be more relievers dealt over the next two days (hello, Milwaukee), […]
