The Atlanta Braves have more competition for Freddie Freeman. Whenever the lockout ends, getting him back to the ATL won’t be easy. Freeman is still expected to sign with the Braves when this is all said and done, which for all I know could be months. The 32-year-old is in search of a six-year contract.

No MLB franchise has a perfect record when it comes to trades, but the Los Angeles Dodgers would probably like to have this one back. If nothing else, the Los Angeles Dodgers have been extremely aggressive under the watch of Andrew Friedman, their President of Baseball Operations. That’s been particularly true when it comes to
The St. Louis Cardinals have not found success hard to come by but one trade in the past few years continues to look worse by the day. Over recent years especially, the St. Louis Cardinals have been no strangers to success. They’ve made the MLB postseason in each of the last three seasons and have
The Texas Rangers shelled out a ton of money for Corey Seager, but was it too much? One retired player and former Ranger thinks so. The Texas Rangers became one of the biggest surprises of the offseason last weekend, when they plunked down hundreds of millions to sign outfielder Kole Calhoun, starting pitcher Jon Gray,
Not every trade can work out in a team’s favor — we know this. But, given the long, storied history of the Cubs, there were bound to be some bad ones. Now, this isn’t trading Lou Brock to the St. Louis Cardinals bad, but by the time Eloy Jimenez is done playing…who knows? In 2017,
Former St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Shildt is taking time away from managing, and instead has agreed to work for the commissioner. Shildt had interviewed for the San Diego Padres managerial opening, but they opted to go in a different direction. A.J. Preller hired Bob Melvin, previously of the Oakland Athletics, instead. The former Cardinals
Freddie Freeman is reportedly “growing impatient” with the Atlanta Braves in his free agency. Though the players are still locked out by MLB, patience seems to be wearing thin on perennial All-Star first baseman Freddie Freeman and his decision to return to the Atlanta Braves. With the Los Angeles Dodgers losing both shortstop Corey Seager and
Carlos Rodon is one of the more intriguing starting pitchers left on the free agent market. With MLB in a lockout, he and his family have plenty of time to consider their options. Despite Rodon’s injury issues, the right-handed pitcher is hoping for an upgrade in pay, as he made just $3 million with the

The Chicago Cubs nearly took on Eric Hosmer’s contract from the San Diego Padres last summer in a trade that would’ve netted them a prospect. Hosmer is one of the worst contracts the Padres have to offer, and A.J. Preller was hoping to lessen their looming luxury tax penalty, so he was made available. Overall,
St. Louis Cardinals left fielder Tyler O’Neill expressed solidarity with fellow players during the MLB lockout with a clever reference on Instagram.

Former Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo was seen out at dinner in the Windy City. Could that mean he’s interested in a reunion?

When a troll slid into Carlos Rodon’s DMs and got personal after the White Sox lost to the Astros, he made him pay with a brutal response back. The worst part of the internet is the freedom it gives people to act like jerks. The most satisfying part of the internet is when one such
Clint Frazier came to the Yankees with a ton of promise but never panned out. After signing with the Cubs, though, he threw real shade at New York. As a former top-five pick and one of the top prospects in baseball, the New York Yankees certainly had high hopes at one time for Clint Frazier.
If the Boston Red Sox sign Trevor Story at shortstop, current Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts could move to second or third base to accommodate Story. Although signings seem out of sight at the moment, teams are making their interest known in the best remaining free agents available. According to MLB insider Jon Heyman, the
Chicago Cubs Marcus Stroman is already putting on for his city, and willing to defend it on social media against angry New York sports fans. Despite the fact that the players and owners are in the midst of a lockout, the love between Stroman and the Cubs — his new home once the two sides
Both the Red Sox and Yankees need a shortstop, with New York far more desperate for middle infield help. Could Trevor Story be the answer? With MLB in a lockout, neither the Yankees nor the Red Sox can find much of a solution to those woes. Boston, for one, has an All-Star at the position
What’s the issue with Freddie Freeman and the Braves? And why might he consider a move to the Los Angeles Dodgers instead? Make it make sense!

With the MLB lockout in full effect, there are several questions surrounding how MLB players and teams will operate in the ensuing months.
