Manny Speaks: Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez was quoted as saying today that he is happy and wouuld like to spend the rest of his career with the team.- 2/21

From the Penthouse to the Outhouse: 2B Bret Boone, who hasn't played since 2005, has signed a minor league deal with the Nationals. Don't expect to see him back in a MLB uniform ever again though. - 2/20

As expected, the Mariners and Orioles completed a huge trade in which the Mariners receive stud lefty starting pitcher Erik Bedard who some consider the best pitcher in the A.L. now that Johan Santana has become an N.L. player. It cost the Mariners bigtime though as they had to give up top prospect speed/power guy Adam Jones who resembles a young Eric Davis, lefty reliever George Sherrill who has a tremendous ERA/Whip and minor league pitchers Tony Butler, Kam Mickolio and Chris Tillman. - 2/7

Thursday MLB Notes: Eric Bedard is in Seattle getting a physical. This pretty much sums up the curiosity on if he'll become a Mariner soon. Look for this trade to be announced on Friday or Saturday. In other news, power hitting left handed hitting Ryan Klesko has decided to hang them up. Klesko, 37, could hit it as far as anybody in his prime. Thanks for the memories. - 2/7

Injured: Word out of Boston (Boston Globe) is that SP Curt Schilling will be sidelined until "at least" the All-Star break. - 2/7

Bedard Sweepstakes: The Orioles and Mariners are said to be only a day or two away from closing a deal that would send the ace pitcher to Seattle for prospects. - 2/6

The Texas Rangers are expected to name Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan as their team president. - 2/6

Finally: David Lane talks about the Mets and the Johan Santana Trade - 2/2

Starting in Right Field: The Seattle Mariners have signed RF Brad Wilkerson to a one year contract. This move makes it apparent that the Mariners are confident that they'll land Bedard from the Orioles and that outfield prospect Adam Jones will be included in that deal. - 2/1

Major Trade Announcement:The New York Mets have reportedly traded for stud starting pitcher Johan Santana. The Twins reportedly are receiving 4 prospects for him. - 1/29

Fat Contract: The Twins have opened up their pocket books and signed slugger Justin Morneau to a 6 year deal for 80 million dollars. - 1/25

The Cubs and Orioles are talking blockbuster deal that would bring Beddard and B. Roberts to Chicago. This is interesting because the Mariners were said to be seriously interested in Bedard. Could the M's silently be making plans to make an offer to Minny for Johan Santana? = 1/22

MLB Commissioner Bud Selig was given a 3 year contract extention today which means he retains the job through the 2012 season. - 1/17

Trade Rumors: Word is the Cards/Jays are looking at swapping third basemen. (Rolen for Glaus) - 1/12

Free Agent Signing: The St. Louis Cardinals have signed Matt Clement to a one year deal. - 1/3

MLB Trade: The Chicago White Sox have acquired power hitting OF Nick Swisher from the Athletics for LHP Gio Gonzalez, outfielder Ryan Sweeney and RHP Fautino De Los Santos. - 1/3

Free Agent Signing: The San Diego Padres have inked oft-injured star Mark Prior. Prior is recovering from surgery and will likely not see the mound until the All-Star break. - 12/26

MLB Trade: The Cincinnati Reds have traded OF Phenom Josh Hamilton to the Texas Rangers for RHP Edinson Volquez and LHP Daniel Herrera. It's a bit surprising to see the Reds give up on the prospect who seems to have gotten his life and career back together. Hamilton is a surebet to hit over 30 homers in Texas if he can stay healthy. - 12/21

Phils Beef Up: The Philadelphia Phillies beefed up a bit by bringing in power-hitting OF Geoff Jenkins who will likely platoon in the outfield. Jenkins has huge power but only usually hits in between .250 and .260 - 12/20

Mariner Signing: The M's have signed SP Carlos Silva to a four year 48 million dollar deal. Silva has a 3.18 ERA in 28.1 IP at Safeco Field during his career. - 12/20

Free Agent Signings: The Tampa Bay Devil Rays have signed OF Cliff Floyd. The Minnesota Twins landed a bargain when they signed cornerman Mike Lamb. - 12/17

Padre Signing: The SD Padres have signed OF Jim Edmonds to fill their open OF position as it looks like Mike Cameron is out the door. - 12/16

Japanese Pitcher Signs: The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed Hiroki Kuroda to a 3 year $35.2 million contract. - 12/15

D-Backs Bolster up Staff: The Arizona Diamondbacks have sent 6 minor league players to Oakland for STUD SP Dan Haren. - 12/14

Dodgers Welcome Kent Back: Jeff Kent has made it clear that he'll be back to play another year for L.A. - 12/12

Astros/Orioles 5 for 1 Deal: The Houston Astros have acquired Miguel Tejada from the Baltimore Orioles for LHP Troy Patton, OF Luke Scott, RHP Matt Albers, RHP Dennis Sarfate and 3B Michael Costanzo. - 12/12

Steinbrenner Gang at it again: The Steinbrenner's are at it once again trying to PURCHASE a World Series ring. The team is said to have major interest in Twins STUD LHP Johan Santana. Will it ever end? The better fit for the lefty would be Safeco field in Seattle where it's possible that he could have a sub 1.00 ERA but will the Mariners open their pocket book? (No, we aren't hitting the pipe. "I sed dat") - 11/26

A-Rod to stay a Yankee. - 11/25

Cleveland Indians reliever Juan Lara was injured Sunday with life threatening injuries after his car was struck by a motorcyle. - 11/25

The Mike Lowell Sweepstakes: Boston win's the fight for 3B Mike Lowell as he has decided to stick with the Red Sox and sign a 3 year deal. - 11/19

Yankees 3B Alex Rodriguez was named the AL's Most Valuable Player today. - 11/19

Free agent pitcher Tom Glavine turned down a lucrative offer and signed a much cheaper deal with the Atlanta Braves so he could be closer to his family. - 11/18

Barry Bonds Indicted. To be perfectly honest, we are completely bored with Barry Bonds news and refuse to cover this b.s. It's all over the media and we're not going to pester you with it here. - 11/15

Change of Heart: Arod is talking to the Yankees again. Word is 10 years and 275 million. Gotta feel sorry for NYY fans as the seat prices will surely escalate once again. - 11/15

N.L. Cy Young Award Winner: Jake Peavy. - 11/15

A.L. Cy Young Award Winner: Cleveland Indians P C.C. Sabathia. - 11/13

MLB Trade: The Detroit Tigers have acquired outfielder Jacque Jones from the Chicago Cubs for IF-OF Omar Infante. This move helps the Tigers defense while allowing for a platoon with big bopper Marcus Thames. - 11/12

R.O.Y. Honors: Go to Brewers 3B Ryan Braun who edged out Rockies SS Troy Tulowitzki. - 11/12

No Deal: Rumors out of NY are that the Yanks and Pads were talking Jake Peavy for Phil Hughes and Melky Cabrera but nothing ever came of it. - 11/9

The Angels have been showing big interest in Marlins heavy hitter Miguel Cabrera. The Marlins have made it loud and clear that any trade involving their big bopper would have to have Howie Kendrick coming east or it ain't happening. - 11/9

Say it ain't So(sa): Sammy Sosa has made it public that he wants a 7 million dollar contract to put off retirement and play next year. Not gonna happen! - 11/3

The Los Angeles Dodgers have officially named Joe Torre their new Manager signing him to a three year contract. - 11/1

Rumors: The word is Joe Torre may become the next Manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers. In New York, the Yankees are said to be offering Joe Giardi the spot vacated by Torre. - 10/29

Alex Rodriguez has opted out of his contract with the Yankees. Prospective teams that he may go to: Angels, Giants or Tigers. NY radio announcer Michael Kay also thinks the Red Sox and Mets may make a play for A-Rod. - 10/29

Wednesday MLB Preview: Los Angeles Angels vs. Boston Red Sox - 10/3

The St. Louis Cardinals and General Manager Walt Jocketty have "parted ways." What's interesting about this is that Jocketty had a year left on his contract yet this isn't being called a firing. - 10/3

Comeback Player of the Year: Honors were given to Carlos Pena in the American League and Dmitri Jones in the NL. - 10/2

Happy with their coaches: The Detroit Tigers extended the contract of Manager Jim Leyland through 2009. The New York Mets announced that they are moving forward to next year with Willie Randolph as their manager despite their colossal collapse to finish out the 2007 season. - 10/2

The Atlanta Braves have announced that they will not attempt to re-sign star outfielder Andruw Jones. - 10/2

Despite speculation that slugger Barry Bonds may join his old skipper Jim Leyland, Leyland has made it public that the Tigers are not interested in signing Bonds next year. - 10/1

Friday MLB Pick: Diamondbacks vs. Rockies - 9/28

Thursday MLB Prediction: San Diego Padres vs. Milwaukee Brewers - 9/27

Tuesday Preview: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks. - 8/21

Injury Watch: Pedro Martinez threw five innings in A ball today and looked good. He's expected to spend some more time in the minors before pitching for the Mets again. - 8/20

Baseball Handicapping: Rating Pitchers. - 8/20

The Reds have traded Jeff Conine to the New York Mets for a pair of no-names. Conine will likely serve as a pinch hitter and depth on the bench. Jorge Cantu will take his spot in the Reds lineup and likely prove to the Devil Rays that they gave up on him too early. Great move for both teams. - 8/20

Monday Pick: New York Yankees vs. Los Angeles Angels. - 8/20

Twins hurler Johan Santana sat down 17 Rangers in only 8 innings of work Sunday. A team record. - 8/19

Odd but true: D-Backs pitcher Micah Owings went 4-5 at the plate with 2 round trippers and 6 rbi's Saturday. - 8/18

The next time you moan and groan about MLB ticket prices, you can thank Carlos Zambrano who signed a contract extension today for $91.5 million over 5 years. That pencils out to 18.3 mill a year. When is the insanity going to stop? - 8/17

In a surprising move, the Tigers cut long-time Tiger outfielder Craig Monroe and then promoted 20 year old Cameron Maybin who had only played 6 games in AA this season. During his short minor league career (91 games) Maybin hit 14 homers, swiped 25 out of 31 bases, had a lofty .409 on base average, hit .316 and had a slugging % of .523. Most of his games were played in A-ball.- 8/17

Friday's MLB Preview: Los Angeles Angels vs. Boston Red Sox. - 8/17

Just when we all thought his career was done, David Wells looks to get another shot with either the Dodgers or the Rockies. In other news, Prince Fielder looks to be grabbing some "pine time" as he was suspended for 3 games for bumping home plate umpire Wally Bell in Sunday's tilt. - 8/16

Thursday's MLB Preview/Pick: Detroit Tigers vs. New York Yankees. - 8/16

Wednesday's Baseball Preview and Pick: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Milwaukee Brewers. - 8/15

Phil Rizutto dead at age 89. Rest in Peace Brother. - 8/14

Tuesday's MLB Preview and Pick: Detroit Tigers vs. Cleveland Indians. - 8/14

Tuesday's MLB preview and pick: Boston Red Sox vs. Los Angeles Angels - 8/7

MLB Weekend of Milestones: Barry Bonds homers to tie Hank Aaron on the all the HR list at 755. A-rod finally gets dinger number 500. Frank Thomas hits a pair to tie and pass Eddie Murray on the all-time HR list. 8/5

The "other" Adam Jones: The Seattle Mariners are expected to call up Adam Jones from their AAA affiliate and he is expected to get some solid playing time. Unlike Adam Pac Man Jones, we should hear nothing but good things about this kid, he can hit! In other MLB news, the Rangers have advised Sammy Sosa that his playing time will be cut into by 6'5" switch hitting power hitter Jason Botts. While Sosa's numbers were decent with 16 dongs and 70 RBI, management is not happy about his low batting average and on base percentage. The Arizona DBacks have called up 2005 number one pick Justin Upton. We're a bit baffled regarding this callup as the kid is only 19 years old, but in his defense he was tearing the cover off the ball in single A ball and double A. - 8/2

Thursday MLB Preview and Pick: Los Angeles Angels vs. Oakland A's - 8/2
