Not long after saying that he would rather work out with the team rather than play in the World Baseball Classic, Tribe ace Cliff Lee has stated that he is willing to discuss a contract extension that would invariably keep him in Cleveland beyond 2010.

It used to be that the first thought that came to mind when you thought
the name Victor Martinez was, "best fantasy catcher in baseball". A
year after being plagued by an injury to his elbow that ultimately

I was a bit shocked to see Brian Roberts' demands for a deal.While I do think he is a fine player -- by the time he's done with the contract he wants, the second baseman will be in his decline phase. I was frankly surprised to even see that he and his agent were negotiating with the team and ...

Orioles Eyeing Rodriguez
The Orioles are reportedly targeting free agent catcher Ivan Rodriguez to be their back up catcher. Rodriguez hit .295 with 5 HR in 82 games for the Tigers last season but hit just .219 in the tough AL East. However, he has a lot of knowledge of the game and would be the perfect mentor to a guy like Matt Wieters. Orioles GM Andy McPhail is familiar with Ivan Rodriguez having closely...
