Scott Cousins will now be wearing No. 6 for the Miami Marlins, a tribute to his favorite player growing up: former Giants first baseman J.T. Snow.
Why the switch? He wants new teammate Aaron Rowand - another former Giant - to keep his usual No. 33 when spring training begins. Cousins is already in Florida well ahead of the Marlins' first full-squad workout under new manager...

Jose Reyes is the team’s shortstop and Hanley can either deal with that or put up a stink. At the end of the day, it will be up to him. As for whether or not he’s on board with it, opinions have varied throughout the offseason. Earlier this week, Ozzie...

Cousins this season will wear 6 in honor of J.T. Snow, his favorite player growing up. A native of Reno, Nev., Cousins was a Giants fan and...

Carlos Zambrano has always had the stuff needed to make him one of the best pitchers in the National League. The problem lies between Big Z’s ears. He has won 18 games once and 16 twice in his career. In 2004, Zambrano started 31 games and finished the season with a 2.75 ERA. He started at least 30 games each season from 2003-2008. You get the point. Big Z has been an effective...

There’s a player by the name of Logan Morrison down in Miami (still getting used to that team name) who’s garnering plenty of attention and for good reason. In six minor league seasons, Morrison hit: .290/.381/.464 (.845 OPS). This past season, his first full big league season, Morrison put up: .247/.330/.468 (.798 OPS). He walked 10.3% of the time, struck out 18.9%, and slugged...

MESA, Ariz. — Among the pitchers and catchers reporting for spring training Saturday for the Cubs, you won’t find any C.J. Wilsons, Mark Buehrles or any other big-ticket free agents.
