Congrats to KFFL Baseball buddy Scott Gilroy for his correct guess of Justin Smoak in our final Guess The Sleeper contest. (Follow Scott. He knows his stuff.)

But … enough with the games. Let’s do this.

I’ve procured the No. 2 selection [...]

Sometimes when players are traded, they get all upset about where they end up and who they’ll miss. In Carlos Quentin’s case, he’s pretty excited.
The Chicago White Sox traded the All-Star outfielder to his hometown San Diego Padres this weekend, and when he got the call he was conveniently already in [...]

Just a couple of days after being designated for assignment by the Boston Red Sox, Mike Cameron has found a new home.

The Florida Marlins acquired the 38-year-old outfielder for a player to be named later or cash. I am going to say there is a 70 percent change the Marlins will accept cash from the Red Sox. [...]

Anyone who watches Sportscenter on a nightly basis can plainly see that attendance is down thus far during the major league baseball season. While it is true that the game does have a few weather obstacles this time of year, this April’s drop off is especially unique.

For the past week, the Chicago White Sox made no secret that they wanted Manny Ramirez to be their DH for the remainder of the season.
After some waiver formalities and some back and forth, yesterday they finally made it happen.
The White Sox acquired Ramirez yesterday on a straight waiver claim from [...]

Even though they were just nailed with $25.69 million in luxury taxes, the New York Yankees aren’t quite done spending.
Braves righty Javier Vazquez was given back to New York Tuesday in a trade that sent centerfielder Melky Cabrera to Atlanta. The Yankees will also get tall drink of water Boone Logan while the Braves will [...]

The Phillies have acquired, or rather stolen, Cleveland Indians ace Cliff Lee.
In a 6-player deal, the Phillies have been able to acquire the pitching help that they have so desperately needed during this first half of the season. While the pitching, and the team as a whole, has gotten better in the second half, it [...]
