On Tuesday, the Philadelphia Phillies did something that blew my mind: they acquired a player that may improve their team a good bit in 2014, and gave up next to nothing to get him. Ruben Amaro's club

On the heels of their puzzling trade of Dexter Fowler to Houston, a trade seemingly done to clear payroll space, the Rockies have announced that they signed first baseman Justin Morneau to a two-year, $13 million contract. Though the Rockies had been in pursuit of Morneau for a few weeks now, one can't help but […]

But Athletics GM Billy Beane is getting serious work done under the fold, building what's beginning to look like the best team in the American League.

What are the Tigers thinking? That was the universal reaction to the Monday night deal that sent Doug Fister to the Nationals in exchange for a seemingly underwhelming package of reliever Ian Krol, Double-A pitcher Robbie Ray and utilityman Steve Lombardozzi.
