Last season, the free agent to be put up the best numbers in his career, producing a stellar 2.61 ERA and striking out 71 in ...

Ken Rosenthal has a few interesting notes today.First of all, the Yanks are not interested in Juan Cruz and I don't blame them. He`s a tempting target but I`m unwilling to decimate the 2009 draft anymore. Supposedly, its a very deep draft and if the Yanks can go over-slot then they can still get ...

Well, get ready for another season of Detroit Tigers baseball. We have been spoiled the last couple of years. The team actually has expectations and unfortunately so do the fans. Can Mo Town survive another sports team to fail miserably like the hapless Lions? Are we just a hockey town? I ...

...That's because the Los Angeles Dodgers could make a big splash in the next 72 hours. Don't be surprised if the Dodgers not only sign Manny Ramirez but Orlando Hudson as well.
If this happens...

(by Jeff Bergin) The field is wide open for second base with Orlando Hudson not being pursued. Too early to pencil Nick Johnson as the starter and then we gets hurt in spring training go to the backup? Too soon?

Last off season, despite a free weak free agent class, SP Kyle Lohse was unable to nab a long term contract. Lohse was coming off a mediocre season with the Reds and Phillies in which he only won nine games and produced a less than spectacular 4.62 ERA. Nevertheless, Lohse still thought that he ...

I know with this post I'm not going to be very popular with our readers. I was adamant this whole off-season of unloading Luis Castillo and signing Orlando Hudson. After last season I didn't want Luis Castillo anywhere near this team and was hoping against hope that the Mets would trade him or outright release him. Having said that I have come to accept the fact that Luis...

All Done?
With Pettitte finally signing the roster seems pretty much set. We`ve got our 5 man rotation and our starting lineup. I`m betting on both Nady and Swisher staying put now so we have the bench set pretty well to. So what's left? Not much. The Yanks have filled their budget and snuck past the 190 ...

Quick Hits: Hudson, Beimel, Ohman, Cordero
Quick Hits:Free Agent Orlando Hudson is still a free agent, but isn't close to signing anywhere. The Dodgers, Nationals, and Cubs have been mentioned as possible suitors, but the Cubs plan to use their remaining money towards pitching and the Nationals have already starting pursuing other options. The Cardinals, who released Adam Kennedy, would make sense for Hudson, but the...
