The Tigers are officially “rebooting”

The question about whether or not the Detroit Tigers are buyers or sellers has reportedly been answered – they’re selling. Specifically, they’re “rebooting” and listening on some of their impending free agents, including both David Price and Yoenis Cespedes. From ESPN’s Jayson Stark… Confirming an ESPN.com report, general manager Dave Dombrowski said he told multiple […]

The Miami Marlins give away Mat Latos for nothing because they’re extremely cheap

The Miami Marlins are a bloody mess. The team today announced they’re trading pitcher Mat Latos, outfielder Mike Morse and a compensation pick (no.34) to the Los Angeles Dodgers for three prospects and cap relief per the Miami Herald’s Clark Spencer. So why would the Marlins give away a pitcher who they traded a pretty […]

Diamondbacks interested in Aroldis Chapman for some reason

If your team is three games under .500, seven games out of first place, and 6.5 games out of a playoff spot, you know what you need? AN ELITE CLOSER! While it may seem ridiculous, that’s apparently the logic going through the head of Diamondbacks GM Dave Stewart, who confirmed his team is interested in […]

Angels fill outfield, add David Murphy & David DeJesus

The Angels have recently stormed back to take over the AL West lead, largely thanks to their offense, but outside of Mike Trout, the outfield has been a major issue. Collin Cowgill is on the 60 day DL and Matt Joyce is on the 7 day concussion DL, but the Angels may be happy about […]

The Jonathan Papelbon saga is over. The Philadelphia Phillies finally pulled the trigger on trading their closer, agree to deal him within the NL East to the Washington Nationals for AA pitcher Nick Pivetta.

Trading Troy Tulowitzki begins Rockies’ much-needed reconstruction project

This cannot have been how Colorado Rockies fans imagined it would go down. Troy Tulowitzki being traded wasn’t supposed to be a late-night occurrence, happening when many of us were sleeping.

The Blue Jays lineup, somehow, just got even more potent. Tulowitzki will enter the […]

Rockies blow minds, trade Troy Tulowitzki to Blue Jays

Remember all the talk about the Colorado Rockies not wanting to trade Troy Tulowitzki because he was the face of the franchise? Yeah, it was a bunch of crap. Tulowitzki is heading to the Toronto Blue Jays for Jose Reyes and a package of minor leaguers. Tulowitzki struggled early on for the Rockies this season, […]

Johnny Cueto gives the Royals their ace in the hole

The Kansas City Royals finally added a true number one starter to their pitching staff. And as a result, they just may leave the rest of the American League in their wake.

Infante, who nearly became an All-Star […]

Report: Brewers, Cardinals talking Adam Lind?

The St. Louis Cardinals may need some help at first base. Since Matt Adams went down for the year with a quad injury at the end of May, they’ve mainly played Mark Reynolds at first, and watched the strikeout machine do his thing by hitting .229/.312/.391 with nine homers and 89 strikeouts in 86 games.
