The Red Sox' open closer's position is starting to become just as much of a hot topic as the team's managerial vacancy. And the Sox could be open to a trade in order to obtain Jonathan Papelbon's successor. The Sox are among the teams interested in Colorado Rockies closer Huston Street, SI.com's Jon Heyman reports. Street was 1-4 with a 3.86 ERA in 62 games in 2011, his third season with the Rockies. He converted 29 of his 33 save opportunities, while also tallying four holds. The 28-year-old right-hander played four seasons in Oakland prior to being sent to Colorado...

Here is a trio of free agents that would be good fits for the Colorado Rockies

I think if the Rockies signed the trio of players I suggest they sign, that they would be a lot better team in 2012. Here they are: 1. Kelly Johnson - Lefty hitting 2B Kelly Johnson would love playing half of his games at Coors Field. After losing out on Mark Ellis (he signed with the Dodgers), the Rockies need a new starting 2B and Johnson would be a nice upgrade for them. 2....

The Colorado Rockies deal Ty Wiggington to the Phillies

The Rockies have dealt 34-year old righty swinging 1B/3B Ty Wigginton to the Phillies for either a player to be named later or cash. Wigginton played in 130 games for the Rockies last year and he was 97 of 401 (.242 avg, .731 OPS) with 52 runs scored, 15 homers, 47 RBIs and 8 stolen bases. The Rockies are going to miss Wigginton’s versatility, but it opens up money in the...

Mets Explore Trade For Street, Garza Available, Pelfrey Out?

At this point the Mets have not made any moves.  The only thing we know is that we have a lot of holes to fill.  We know that the club wants to bring back Reyes, but to this end no offer has been made public.  We also know that we need a starting pitcher since Chris Capuano is now seeking a two year deal and we are only willing to give a one year deal.  We need a closer in the...

Philadelphia Phillies Acquire Ty Wigginton From Colorado Rockies

The Philadelphia Phillies made a solid move to shore up their bench to and to give them protection in case first basemen Ryan Howard is not ready to start the season by picking up infielder Ty Wigginton from the Colorado Rockies for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

Impact: Phillies Acquire Wigginton

Brendan's take: In a move sure to go under the radar to most fantasy players, the Phillies acquired Ty Wigginton from the Rockies. He'll prove valuable in not only NL leagues but also in deeper mixed daily ones. His multi-position eligibility is a perfect fit for the Phillies, who have an aging Utley and Polanco at second and third respectively, an injured Ryan Howard, and...

Insurance plan: Phillies acquire Ty Wigginton from Rockies

While other teams are overspending for defensive-minded middle infielders not likely to advance them up the standings, the Philadelphia Phillies have expertly acquired a decent piece of corner infield insurance at a very affordable rate. As first reported by Fox Sports' Jon Morosi on Sunday afternoon, the Phillies will receive Ty Wigginton from the Colorado Rockies in exchange...

Phillies Acquire Ty Wigginton

The Philadelphia Phillies took another step toward finalizing their 2012 team on Sunday afternoon when they traded with the Colorado Rockies for right-handed utiltyman Ty Wigginton. Wigginton, 34, has played for six different teams over the course of his 10 year career, and has spent time at just about every position -- with a concentration at third base, first base, and left field...

Wigginton Signing Provides Insurance

By no means is Ty Wigginton a major upgrade, let alone an effective signing. But the addition of Wigginton means the Phillies have more depth, a reliable veteran to platoon with fellow free-agent signing Jim Thome at first base, and a potentially dependable bench bat. In his career, Wigginton has patrolled every infield position and both [...]
