 WEEI.com's Alex Speier writes that when Jed Hoyer took over as GM of the Padres, it only made it tougher for the Red Sox to pull off a deal for Adrian Gonzalez. “He knows all my tricks, and I know his,” said Theo Epstein of Hoyer. 
 Meanwhile, WEEI.com's Rob Bradford reports that Roy Halladay has identified the Red Sox as a team he'd be willing to accept a trade too. Doc has a full no-trade clau...

The Toronto Star gets a no comment out of the Blue Jays GM. The Arizona Republic reported Saturday such a trade was being discussed.

The Mets have supposedly have targeted Rod Barajas as their primary target for their vacant position. Barajas hit 21 HRs last year, which I'm sure is appealing to a power starved team and he won't cost too much. Snyder is only 28 y/o and c...

This would see prodigal first-baseman Lyle Overbay return to the Diamondbacks.

Looking back I see that Masterkembo was the only one to guess Yankees in 6. Good job sir.  Two more Jays have filed for free agency. Marco Scutaro and John McDonald. I'm sure Barajas will soon to so soon too. The Jays have exclusive rights to negotiate with them until ...

Wouldn't you rather be playing here? Much though Fox and ESPN would have you think otherwise, the World Series isn't the only professional baseball going on in the United States.
