The Colorado Rockies made an interesting move, singing outfielder Gerardo Parra to a three-year, $27.5 million dollar contract, with a club option for the fourth year. This move is interesting because it makes Parra the fourth outfielder, which would indicate that one of Carlos Gonzalez, Charlie Blackmon, or Corey Dickerson

The San Francisco Giants continued their offseason spending this past week, signing outfielder Denard Span to a three-year, $31 million dollar contract. Span, of course, spent much of last year on the disabled list, which is one of the reasons he’ll be earning an average of $10.3 million dollars a

Christian Yelich has been a much better player for the Miami Marlins in his three seasons in the Majors than he has for fantasy owners. Yelich has put up 7.9 fWAR in just over two full-seasons’ worth of games (332). His wRC+ in each season? 117. His wOBA? .341, .341,

The Washington Nationals and Toronto Blue Jays made a trade on Friday that flew a bit under the radar but really addressed the needs of both ball clubs. As first reported by MLB Network insider Jon Heyman, the Nationals will acquire outfielder Ben Revere and a player to be named

It seems I write a column about this every year. For those new to the site allow me to establish a baseline for moving forward. I love the Hall of Fame. I care deeply about the Hall of Fame and the criteria for players to be elected. Many of you

The defending champions did an about face today when they agreed to a new contract with left fielder Alex Gordon. Previously, they had stated they weren’t willing to meet his demands, but the two sides came to an agreement on a four-year, 72 million dollar deal. The agreement marks somewhat

The Los Angeles Dodgers decision to sign left handed pitcher Scott Kazmir had a slight stench of desperation to it. As a die-hard Met fan who once saw the once-prized pitching prospect dealt for the likes of Victor Zambrano, I’d like to state right off the bat that I have no

The Los Angeles Dodgers continued the arms race in the NL West by reaching an agreement with free agent right-hander Kenta Maeda. Now, the top three teams in the division have each added two arms to their rotation (although the Dodgers technically lost Zack Greinke, so they net one extra

The New York Yankees have been uncharacteristically quiet this offseason season, though that changed quickly when they traded for the flame-throwing lefty relief pitcher, Aroldis Chapman. Soon after the trade, the Internet was set on fire for various reasons. For one, and I’ll touch on this a bit, Chapman is

Daniel Murphy had become one of the most polarizing players for the New York Mets’ fan base in recent memory. Despite being an incredibly gifted contact hitter, Murphy was essentially a positionless player who was very susceptible to the bonehead defensive play or the proverbial “brain-fart” on the bases. He

One of the four remaining notable starting pitchers is off the board after the St. Louis Cardinals agreed to sign Mike Leake to a five year, 80-million dollar deal. The Cardinals had become somewhat desperate once Lance Lynn had season ending surgery and John Lackey signed with the Cubs. Now,

The bartering of talent in Cincinnati continued when the Cincinnati Reds dealt Todd Frazier to the Chicago White Sox in a three-team deal that also included the Los Angeles Dodgers. Three team deals get really tricky and usually what happens is one of the teams shoehorns themselves in when their
