According to an initial report by ESPNBoston.com’s Gordon Edes, the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers are discussing a potential groundbreaking blockbuster of a trade which has rumored numerous notable names. The possibility of a trade involving players cleared through waivers could center around Adrian Gonzalez or Josh Beckett, both of whom were claimed [...]
Despite the large amount of success the Red Sox have had in 2011, the team is still dealing with many questions as the second half of the season looms large. From the injured starting rotation to the lack of production from Carl Crawford and the future of closer Jonathan Papelbon, the team has plenty to [...]
The Red Sox have not been shy about making moves at the trade deadline and this year may be no different. Despite a number of close races around baseball, some teams are preparing to be sellers as July 31st nears. Carlos Beltran, Matt Garza and Andre Ethier are a few of the names that have [...]
Adrian Gonzalez may have out-homered Milwaukee’s Prince Fielder at the Home Run Derby, but Fielder’s home run mattered most Tuesday night at the 82nd All-Star Game at Chase Stadium in Phoenix. Fielder’s three-run home run off Texas’ C.J. Wilson in the fourth inning drove in the winning runs, and National League pitchers limited American League [...]
I wasn’t a fan of Mark Buehrle’s perfect game.

With recent news that Manny Ramirez has tested positive for a banned substance and will miss 50 games, you may be wondering how this will affect your team. In reality, the Dodgers are still the best team in the West even without Manny due to the pure lack of competition. In the fantasy realm, having [...]
Apparently the new Yankee Stadium has become a home run haven. It has always been a well-known fact that Colorado’s Coors Field was the ideal place for owners needing a power fix. If recent trends continue, then I guess we will all have to start putting players in our lineups solely based on the fact that they are [...]
One of the great things about this offseason is that everything is developing so slowly that you can really get a good chance to speculate on the destinations of players. In this case we’re going to be looking at Manny Ramirez, the very polarizing player, with the agent who sometimes puts out absurd demands for [...]
According to the Star-Ledger, officials from both the Mets and Red Sox have confirmed that trade talks about Manny Ramirez have taken place between the two teams. The Red Sox suspect that GM Omar Minaya wants Ramirez more than Mets ownership does. Regardless, the Mets are reluctant to part with top-prospect talent in exchange for [...]
