On Sunday, Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. told the Philadelphia Inquirer‘s Jake Kaplan that in recent days, one team “stepped up and has shown more particular interest” in pitcher Cole Hamels. Speculating that the Rangers are that team wouldn’t be much of a stretch. Yu Darvish is out for at least four months with a […]

Chris Archer is becoming one of my favorite players in the league to watch, and after his start for the Rays on Sunday, he interviewed reporters in the clubhouse about how they think he pitched. Pretty funny way to change things up. In his start against the Phillies on Sunday, Archer allowed one run on […]

Hey, it’s 2015. As everyone in the world knows, and has stated several times, that means the Chicago Cubs are set to win the World Series, as indicated by Back to the Future II. While it obviously will not be over Miami, is it really that far-fetched to think this team could pull that off? […]

Jayson Werth is still recovering from shoulder surgery. Nate McLouth is still limited from shoulder surgery last year. And now, Denard Span will likely end up starting the year on the DL for the Washington Nationals because of surgery to repair a core muscle. It’ll be four to six weeks before Span can even participate […]

The beginning of Sunday’s Royals-Angels game in Tempe was delayed by…a swarm of bees. That’s right – awful, terrifying bees prevented a baseball game from being started on time. Bee delays are actually becoming a pretty common thing, as terrifying as that may sound. A Mariners-Angels game in September of 2013 was delayed by a swarm […]

The Philadelphia Phillies would have one hell of a trade chip at the deadline in Cliff Lee…if Lee was able to prove he was healthy this season. Well, just one start into the spring, Lee’s elbow is sore again. So much for that. Details from the Philadelphia Daily News… General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said […]

For as bad of a year as Rickie Weeks had in 2014 with the Milwaukee Brewers, he still averaged 412 feet on his eight home runs. This winter, Weeks signed with the Seattle Mariners, and on Saturday, he gave his new club some encouragement by obliterating this homer over the batter’s eye in dead center […]

University of Michigan (and former San Francisco 49ers) coach Jim Harbaugh is in uniform at Oakland A’s camp today…and he’s not holding back, even wearing stirrups! He’ll be serving as Oakland’s first base coach for a couple innings today, and here are a few pics from his day at HoHoKam Stadium. This is just lovely. I’m […]

This is why we can’t have nice things. Rangers ace Yu Darvish has a sprained UCL, and Tommy John surgery is on the table. Darvish left his start on Thursday with tightness in his triceps. The 28-year old Japanese star was shut down last August because of inflammation in his right elbow. Even if Darvish […]

Death, taxes, and Yasiel Puig getting thrown out on the basepaths for being too aggressive. Post by The Outside Corner. Yup, baseball is back.

Matt Harvey got the start for the Mets in their game on Friday against the Tigers, and he looked like the Matt Harvey that took the National League by storm in 2013, striking out three over two perfect innings. 98 on the black? An 84 mph hammer? Welcome back, Matt.

After falling short of expectations for years, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim finally broke through to win the AL West and give MVP Mike Trout his first taste of the postseason, brief though it might have been. Now with expectations once again sky high, are Trout and company ready to take the next step? Depth […]

We don’t normally lean towards the absurd at The Outside Corner unless it’s absolutely necessary. You know, like Churro Dogs. But after Thursday’s unlucky mishap for the Giants involving Hunter Pence, who will be out 6-8 weeks with a non-displaced fracture in his ulna, the Giants need to figure out a new game plan in right […]

The San Francisco Giants’ defense of their 2014 World Championship got off to a tough start on Thursday after right fielder Hunter Pence was hit in the left forearm in the sixth inning. A later diagnosis confirmed that the arm was broken, and that Pence would be out 6-8 weeks. The Giants website officially called […]
