Not much going on today, but you have an article from Zach to look forward to for tomorrow! One thing that got lost in all the MVN.com changeover is the guest columnists, who should be posting on Wednesdays but they have no login information. Hopefully I can get that...

The Red Sox are throwing their financial muscle around again this offseason, but can you really say that their moves thus far have inspired your confidence? I can’t. I’m an equal-opportunity hater, if you will. My suspicions start with Daisuke Matsuzaka,...

We’re going to stop freaking out about Daisuke Matsuzaka. We’re going to stop wondering if Theo has his head screwed on right. We’re going to stop worrying about J.D. Drew and Julio Lugo. Today, we’re going to be positive. I know it’s...

THEO EPSTEIN / SPORTING NEWS Since Keith Foulke tossed the final out of the 2004 World Series to Doug Mientkiewicz, Theo Epstein’s pattern of development as general manager of the Red Sox has been as alarming as a botched John Kerry joke. The boy wonder, the...

The Boston Globe reports that while the Red Sox and Texas Rangers are talking about swapping CF David Murphy on our end for SP Kameron Loe, nothing is imminent. Loe is a groundball pitcher who had a 3.42 ERA in 92 IP in 2005, making eight starts, and 40 appearances...

Paul from yesterday’s article fills us in on quite a bit… Not that you guys want advice from a Dodgers fan, but, yes, you ought to risk Gagne. If he returns 100% then he won’t be one of the best but THE best. Even at 80% he’ll still be a top...

J.D. DREW / ESPNDEPORTES.COMManning RF or CF for the Sox? J.D. Drew is our new right-fielder and Julio Lugo is our new shortstop. I’ve already covered my opinions on both people (Drew here, Lugo here), and the commenters have very much so espoused their opinions...

We’re going to keep an updated Winter Meetings column going today because there’s way too many news going on. 8:22 PM: The Yankees lost out on Ted Lilly, who is heading to the Chicago Cubs for four years and $40 million, but still have a one year pact out...

There’s way too much stuff going on at the winter meetings for me to post any comprehensive article today. It’s about Manny today, as there were a blizzard of news. First, as we all probably know by now, Sunday at midnight (so technically Monday) the Red...

This week is the busiest week of the off-season, and for those of us who love following every move of the hot stove rumblings, the one we look most forward to. Every GM in baseball will congregate in Orlando the next few days to discuss trades, signings and squash...
