Re-signing Alex Gordon was an important move for the Kansas City Royals and their chances in 2016. But it may have been more important for the impression it left on Royals fans and the baseball world in general: the days of small market Kansas City being pushed around by big budget teams may be over. […]

Now that we know Ken Griffey, Jr. and Mike Piazza have officially been immortalized, we have a pretty clear view of the 2017 ballot for the Baseball Hall of Fame. Now removed are Alan Trammell (after a 15-year run that never saw him above the 40.9% voting total he received this year) and Mark McGwire (he […]

Griffey was voted in on his first year of eligibility, while Piazza earned induction on year number four. Griffey received votes on 437 of 440 ballots, earning a record […]

The San Diego Padres have been rather quiet since trading relievers Joaquin Benoit and Craig Kimbrel at the start of the offseason. They have made several other trades, but those were depth moves. Depth is important (and often undervalued by fans) but the roster is still largely incomplete. Perhaps the biggest area of need for them is […]

Dallas Keuchel and his representatives have told the Houston Astros they will not engage in contract discussions this offseason reports Reid Laymance of the Houston Chronicle. “At this point, we have not engaged the club in any sort of long-term discussions,” Braunecker said on the show. “It’s common knowledge that we had some discussion during the season […]

Tis the season for baseball Hall of Fame controversy and remaining one of the biggest complaints is the ten man ballot limit along with the supposed backlog of worthy players. While the Hall of Fame committee in Cooperstown’s move to drop eligibility from 15 years to ten last year did seem to be an intentional […]

The Dodgers rotation excelled in 2015. Led by Clayton Kershaw (2011, 2013, 2014 Cy Young winner) and Zack Greinke (2015 Cy Young runner-up), the club featured the best one-two punch in the game. Opposing clubs quivered at the thought of facing the duo in back-to-back games. Brett Anderson, who made a total of 32 starts […]

The New York Yankees beefed up their bullpen earlier this offseason, acquiring Aroldis Chapman from the Cincinnati Reds. The move gave them a nasty three-headed dragon of a bullpen with Chapman, Dellin Betances, and Andrew Miller potentially closing out late innings next season. While keeping all three relievers would be

Ah, the new year. A time for making resolutions to make yourself a better person, live a healthier life, and to be happier. And to completely forget about and ignore those resolutions a few weeks later. It’s a tradition unlike any other. What if every team in baseball made a new year’s resolution at the […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed Scott Kazmir to a three-year, $48 million reports Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times. The contract isn’t as straightforward as it seems, as Jon Heyman of

Based on the ballots that have been made public to this point, there is a change brewing in the Hall of Fame voting (thanks to Ryan Thibs at bbhoftracker.com for his incredible compilation that makes looking at this possible). Actual and perceived steroid abuse over the years from about 1988 through 2003 has lead to […]

The Nationals have been trying to acquire a second baseman for a while. At one point they were on the verge of acquiring Brandon Phillips. Ultimately the deal feel through as Phillips, who has a full no-trade clause, vetoed the deal. He wanted a guaranteed extension, which is absurd as he’s already overpaid and signed for two […]

Many marquee free agents have inked huge deals during free agency this summer, yet the market for outfielders is still rich and the needle hasn’t moved all that much. Jason Heyward inked an eight-year, $184 million deal with the Chicago Cubs, but almost every other outfielder who’s put pen to paper has settled for one-year contracts. That’s largely […]
