Monday’s signing of Dontrelle Willis by the Philadelphia Phillies for one year, $1 million is a bit surprising. In fact, we don’t see the point in it whatsoever.
The 30-year-old lefty went 1-6 with a nice, round 5.00 ERA last season with the Cincinnati Reds, who saw just about enough of that. I [...]

Albert Pujols and his douchebag agent (we pretty much take everything bad we’ve ever said about Scott Boras back) have some mighty lucrative offers to consider this week… one of them being from the big-spending Miami Marlins, and the other meaning he won’t need to pack a thing.
The team reportedly met with [...]

The Kansas City Royals and Jonathan Broxton agreed to a one-year deal worth $4 million on Tuesday, gearing up the right-handed reliever to become Joaqim Soria’s new setup man.

The 27-year-old chubster made $7 million with the Los Angeles Dodgers last season in the second installment of a two-year, $11 million deal, so he’s actually taking quite a pay-cut. However, after being limited [...]

We’re thankful for so many things. Baseball, beer, and shoes being the three most important, obviously. Oh, and family of course… but there are so many baseball-related things to be grateful for that we felt the need to compile a list and share it with all of you. No, Joe Mauer is not one of them. He’s disappointed us to no end this season and really, we’d rather [...]

Sad and shocking news for the Seattle Mariners club this morning: outfielder Greg Halman was stabbed to death in The Hauge, Netherlands, and his brother has been arrested as a suspect.

Police and paramedics were called to a home in the port city early Monday morning to find the 24-year-old Dutch player bleeding from an apparent stab wound. [...]

As if the Philadelphia Phillies didn’t already have one of the best pitching staffs in all of baseball, they added Jonathan Papelbon to the mix Friday afternoon.

The two sides came to an agreement with the former Boston Red Sox closer reportedly worth somewhere in the ballpark of $50 million [...]

Oh, Pat Burrell.

It sounds like the outfielder’s career might be coming to an end.

Burrell had mentioned late in the season that he would toss the idea of retirement around if he wasn’t able to return to full strength, with that right foot of his giving him all kinds of trouble. Although he has yet to make an official decision, [...]

Wilson Ramos has been kidnapped in his hometown of Valencia, Venezuela this evening.
The 24-year-old Washington Nationals catcher traveled home for the offseason and was planning on participating in a few winter ball games with Tigres de Aragua beginning Thursday, until this horrific event took place.
According to multiple news reports out of Venezuela, [...]

he Kansas City Royals changed up their rotation a bit on Monday, trading away outfielder Melky Cabrera to the San Francisco Giants for starting pitcher Jonathan Sanchez. Believe it or not, this guy is an improvement considering the Royals owned the third-worst combined ERA in the American League in 2011. Not coincidentally, this move makes room on the roster [...]

It looks like Jim Thome has a little gas left in the tank after all.

The 41-year-old designated hitter signed on with the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday for one last season to the tune of $1.25 million, his second reunion with a former team after leaving the Minnesota Twins last season in August to end the year with the Cleveland Indians, the club he began [...]
