The Toronto Blue Jays are committed to developing their young players in 2019, but where to fit all of them in the lineup is a puzzle manager Charlie Montoyo has to figure out. The Toronto Blue Jays are holding their annual Winter Fest at the Rogers Centre this weekend, but amid the fun and games
The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to move from former top prospect Joc Pederson, as reports surfaced Sunday morning the reigning National League Champions were looking to trade the outfielder to the Chicago White Sox. With Ken Rosenthal reporting yesterday that the Dodgers were in contact with free-agent outfielder A.J. Pollock, it’s no surprise the
Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant ruffled the feathers of their division rival Cardinals with negative comments about the city of St. Louis Friday night. The Cubs are currently hosting their yearly Cubs Convention and Kris Bryant was a featured guest on former Cub turned front office aid Ryan Dempster’s late night talk show for
The Los Angeles Dodgers have reportedly set their sights on free agent outfielder A.J. Pollock, while his checkered injury past raises some concerns, the Dodgers might just be the perfect situation for the veteran. According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Dodgers are targetting former Diamondback outfielder A.J. Pollock, who enters free agency for
The Houston Astros have struggled some as of late, and it might be now or never as they face the surging Oakland A’s. Heading into the All-Star Break, the Houston Astros looked like they were well on their way to reaching another World Series. However, injuries to some key players saw their confidence decline at
The Toronto Blue Jays have reset things ahead of a rebuild, but there’s a case for them in the mix to sign Bryce Harper. For the second straight offseason, the MLB “hot stove” has not fully fired up. With basically a month to go before pitchers and catchers report to spring training, top free agents
Mike Moustakas is one of the best hitters left on the free agent market, and the Chicago White Sox should be interested. The Chicago White Sox are a club still in the midst of a rebuild. They have great young talent pool simmering in the minor leagues. So, why not add a veteran hitter? The

Signing Nolan Arenado next winter in free agency is a reasonable plan for the Yankees. Making a trade for him this offseason would be a huge mistake. It’s very possible part of the reason the Yankees elected to pass on Manny Machado this winter is because they’d prefer to sign Nolan Arenado next year. There
Aaron Boone isn’t going to have any shortage of options in the Yankees bullpen next season. Signing Adam Ottavino gives him a dominant group of relievers. Manny Machado may be holding up a lot of free agency moves in MLB, but the Yankees clearly aren’t bothered by his indecision. Instead of sitting around and waiting

Manny Machado expected his agent to deliver him massive contract offers this winter, but his market hasn’t materialized. Can Dan Lozano come through? When MLB free agency began the prevailing wisdom claimed that Manny Machado would receive one of the biggest contracts in baseball history. It’s now the middle of January and that kind of
The Yankees paid D.J. LeMahieu starter money to bring him to New York, but there’s no clear plan for exactly how Aaron Boone wants to use him. In a vacuum, signing D.J. LeMahieu to a two-year, $24 million contract looks like excellent business for the Yankees. The real measure of the deal’s value won’t be

Monday’s game between the Cubs and Pirates was not all that interesting, but Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo offered a moment to debate on. Over the last few years, rules have been created to minimize collisions at home plate and protect middle infielders from reckless slides to breakup double plays. The Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh
As the free agency freeze begins to thaw, the Chicago White Sox landing Manny Machado seems like something that might actually happen. When the free agency music stops (or starts to make some actual noise), Manny Machado might be standing in front of a seat marked for the Chicago White Sox — one stacked with around
The Colorado Rockies have re-entered the playoff race, but these five players could still be on the move heading into the trade deadline. With eight wins in their last 10 games, the Colorado Rockies have pushed themselves to just 3.5 games back of the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League West entering Monday’s action. They’re

The Boston Red Sox is in pursuit of RP Craig Kimbrel, but they also have important player contracts to tend to in the near future. Boston won it all in 2018 and had one of the most dominant Red Sox teams of all time. They also had the highest payroll in the game. The club
The Yankees didn’t replace Miguel Andujar with Manny Machado this winter, but that doesn’t mean Nolan Arenado won’t take his job next offseason. Miguel Andujar might be breathing a little easier these days with the news that the Yankees probably aren’t going to bring Manny Machado to the Bronx. The talented infielder shouldn’t get too
Manipulation of service time toes the line of shrewd business and being unfair, and Vlad Guerrero Jr.’s situation has drawn ire from the MLBPA. Major league baseball players reach free agency after six years of service time, once team control via low salaries and arbitration eligibility expires. Vlad Guerrero Jr. had his season derailed by
The Toronto Blue Jays traded catcher Russell Martin to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, severing links to the lineup that twice went to the ALCS. On Oct. 12, 2015, in a preview of the baseball postseason, Sports Illustrated ran a cover story on the core of the Toronto Blue Jays roster. Dubbing them “The
The New York Mets have bolstered their lineup by signing free agent infielder Jed Lowrie to a two-year deal. The Mets continue to remake their roster with the signing of former A’s All-Star infielder Jed Lowrie to a two-year deal worth $20 million. This is an interesting move for the Mets given they traded for Robinson
