These aren’t your father’s Red Sox and just because they finished in last place for two straight years doesn’t mean they are resigning to a long-term rebuild. Boston has already been active this offseason and dropped the hammer (and its wallets) on Tuesday, signing David Price to a seven-year, $217 million deal. The contract breaks […]

Then there were five. With the signing of Jordan Zimmerman by the Detroit Tigers on Monday, there are only five starting pitchers left in the free agent market which could be classified as the “top-tier.” So what is the outlook for these arms and where could then end up? David Price 2015 Stats: 18-5, 2.45 ERA, […]

News surfaced on Sunday that the Arizona Diamondbacks offered free agent starter Johnny Cueto a six year contract worth $120 million and that he subsequently declined that offer. My initial reaction was, “Wow that’s nuts.” I meant that for both sides. It seemed like a poor use of funds to allocate so much money to […]

The Detroit Tigers have begun their offseason swiftly and decisively, filling several roster holes and beating the competition for a coveted reliever and starting pitcher. New general manager Al Avila moved quickly to get a new closer in Francisco Rodriguez, acquire Cameron Maybin to bolster the outfield and sign a top starter in Jordan Zimmermann before […]

San Diego Padres starter Tyson Ross was a popular name at the trade deadline, but San Diego didn’t seem too inclined to move him. With the offseason now upon us and the hot stove getting cranked up, could the Padres once again consider moving their ace? According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports…it doesn’t look […]

The Toronto Blue Jays rotation is starting to take form after the club announced the signing of J.A. Happ last week to a three-year, $36 million deal. There hasn’t been an official announcement, but the move probably takes Toronto out of the David Price sweepstakes. The team has been proactive in free agency to bolster their […]

Dave Dombrowski didn’t sign Hanley Ramirez to the four-year, $88 million deal he received last winter. That was all Ben Cherington. But the new Boston Red Sox president of baseball operations is looking to rid himself of the remaining three years and $66 million on Ramirez’s contract, and according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston […]

Former Kansas City Royals infielder Ben Zobrist still hasn’t signed as a free agent this winter. But it’s looking more and more like Zobrist will end up signing in the very near future. According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, Zobrist’s market is “likely to become more defined” this week. And there is no shortness […]

Well, that post from earlier this morning didn’t sit around for too long before becoming irrelevant – the Detroit Tigers have reportedly agreed to a five-year, $110 million contract with free agent starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann. As I mentioned this morning, Zimmermann seems to be an odd fit for the Tigers, a team with plenty […]

The Detroit Tigers finished dead last in the AL Central with a 74-87 record in 2015. Ex-GM Dave Dombrowski helped a rebuilding effort along at the trade deadline by dealing impending free agents Yoenis Cespedes and David Price to the Mets and Blue Jays, respectively. If you’re new Tigers GM Al Avila, the most logical […]
