Let’s not get down em yet because they traded away Drabek, Taylor, and D’Arnaud to get Halladay (on top of Marson, Carrasco, and Knapp for Lee previously), the Phils still got some firepower left in their system. An if you think they don’t have pitchers left you’re wrong, they could field an entire rotation with [...]

Teams seem to be making flurries of moves to sign pieces of their team like the snowfall on the east coast. Few prime-time free agents are available including Russell Branyan, John Smoltz, Carlos Delgado(who may retire), and etc. The real story is the little guys though. The Mets have made Mike Jacobs official and appear [...]

C Yorvit Torrealba has a place he can call home…Petco Park. He signed a one year/$1.2M deal with the Padres. Torralba split time with the Rockies last season posting a .291 with 2HRs and 31RBIs . The Rockies opted to go younger and start Chris Iannetta and picked up Miguel Olivo. Torrealba will split time with C Nick Hundley. I can’t see this benefiting the Padres too much.

The Dodgers have finally stared to feel the pressure of the impending spring training report date without a full pitching staff. First, they re-signed Jeff Weaver to a minor league deal worth $900K after incentives. Weaver (6-4; 3.85ERA) wasn’t dynamic, but could work out of the bullpen which gives Joe Torre versatility he needs this [...]

That’s probably what Josh Johnson and his agent woke up thinking today. Luckily for both them and the Marlins, that rang true as Johnson will remain a fish for the next four years. Johnson was stellar last season posting a 15-5; 3.23ERA season where he pitched more innings than gave up hits(also and All-Star)! The [...]

Yes, it’s true…Ardolis Chapman has landed with a MLB team. The thing is I don’t think most people realize who he signed with or the fact the team spent the money to get him. Chapman signed a deal today worth five years and $25M with a sixth year option with…..catch your breath…..seriously, I’m not responsible [...]

Happy New Year to all. We’re getting so close to spring training I can smell it. only 90+ days to Opening Day! The Hot Stove isn’t done yet either. Bay’s physical has passed, so, it’s a done deal basically. The official announcemnet should be coming. Interesting note with football and baseball, Florida Gator senior WR [...]

Well, the dream of Jason Bay returning to Fenway has officially died today. He’s accepted an offer from the Mets for 4yr/$66M with a fifth year option. Boston was only short six million dollars that would push the organization into the luxury tax category. Bay was nothing short of stellar in Fenway and should be [...]
