We close out the 2015 MLB awards season with two more first-time winners, as Bryce Harper and Josh Donaldson claimed the NL and AL MVP awards on Thursday night. The 22-year old Harper won the NL award unanimously, collecting all 30 first place votes and the maximum 420 points. He hit a wild .330/.460/.649 with […]

MLB issued a release today informing the world that next season, Roberto Clemente Day will be celebrated with a two-game set between the Marlins and Pirates in Puerto Rico. Presumably, this has everything to do with Clemente being a former Pirate, and also, a Puerto Rican. Though under the radar in comparison to Jackie Robinson […]

Approximately a week after putting up their “Open for Business” sign, the Cincinnati Reds are still waiting to begin what appears to be an offseason fire sale. Perhaps the reason the sell-off hasn’t gotten started is because the player that was expected to get the transactions rolling hasn’t yet been dealt. And from what it […]

The Indians have been looking to bolster their outfield by any means possible ever since the trade deadline and things appear to be heating up again. Jon Morosi has been on top of these rumors from the beginning and he stirred the pot again yesterday with these two tweets:

When one player in a baseball team’s clubhouse become a nuisance, chances are he will be shipped out at the first decent opportunity. With reports surfacing Marlins pitcher José Fernandez has been a disruptive force in the clubhouse, Marlins president David Samson says he is not prepared to deal Fernandez in exchange for the best possible […]

You don’t have to look far to see how much baseball has changed in the past few years. We are far from the days of Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds blasting 70 home runs, instead entering an age where pitchers don’t even sniff the MLB ERA title unless they are well below 2.00. Looking at […]

The 2015 AL and NL Cy Young award winners are announced, and a pair of newbies are taking home hardware. Dallas Keuchel of the Houston Astros is the AL winner, while in the NL, Jake Arrieta claimed the award. Keuchel pitched to a 2.48 ERA in 232 innings this season for Houston, striking out 216 and […]

The San Francisco Giants went into the offseason with money to spend and holes to fill. It’s a combination with the potential to make it an exciting winter, and yesterday they spent some of that money. Only it wasn’t on an ace starting pitcher like Zack Greinke or an outfielder like Jason Heyward. Instead, the […]

If you claim that you knew who A.J. Pollock was at this time last year and you live outside of the Mojave Desert, you are probably lying. But if you don’t know him now, you must not follow baseball too closely. The MVP candidate and 2015 All-Star and Gold Glover broke onto the scene with […]

The Atlanta Braves are in the trying start of a long rebuild. Braves fans were given another reality check this week when the club traded star shortstop Andrelton Simmons to the Los Angeles Angels. If that wasn’t a tough pill to swallow on its own, reports suggested the team was willing to move first baseman […]

THE DETROIT TIGERS HAVE A CLOSER! (again) Their new ninth inning man is veteran Francisco Rodriguez, who the club acquired on Wednesday from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for minor leaguer Javier Betancourt. K-Rod will turn 34 (really, only 34?) in January, and is coming off a season in which he pitched to a 2.21 […]

The San Francisco Giants have signed shortstop Brandon Crawford to a mammoth six-year contract extension worth $75 million reports Ken Rosenthal. Crawford receives a full no-trade clause. “Brandon is an integral part of the team whose performance on the field will be one of the keys to our success for years to come,” said Giants […]
