Dickey, Russell Martin, Ryan Hanigan, San Diego Padres, Tampa Bay Rays, Toronto Blue Jays, Wil Myers, Will Middlebrooks
By now I imagine that we’re all pretty well versed in acquisitions that the Boston Red Sox have made so far this offseason, but they’re not the only team that has been busy in the American League East. The Toronto Blue Jays, who finished third in the...

“Defeated” is an understatement for what the Toronto Blue Jays did to the Boston Red Sox on Monday night. In actuality, destroyed, embarrassed, or dismantled would be a more appropriate description of the beat-down that took place at Fenway Park. Melky...

After snapping their 6 game winning streak on Tuesday, the Red Sox looked to return to their winning ways on Wednesday. Boston sent Clay Buchholz to the mound in search of his third consecutive win, while the Blue Jays countered with verteran knuckleballer R.A....

And once more with the Blue Jays. We’ve already seen 2012, Toronto – we don’t need you coming back here to remind us of how bad a “superteam” can get. And for just the seventh time in team history, the Red Sox have a chance to clinch the...

I’ll be honest with you guys, I still feel pretty baseball drunk from what happened tonight. First there were the Cliff Lee rumors. Then Jackie Bradley Jr. was pulled from his game in Pawtucket. Then there was a false report that Giancarlo Stanton had been pulled from...

Making spring training predictions usually guarantees two things: 1) You will hit on a few. 2) You will miss on a lot more. Since we’re now through more than a quarter of the 2013 season, let’s take a look at five predictions that I already wish I could...

After earning a series win in the Bronx, the Boston Red Sox (2-1, tied for first in the AL East) go to the Great White North to take on the new-look Toronto Blue Jays (1-2, tied for third in the AL East). In Toronto, you definitely can’t tell your players...

Is it ok to admit to loving the early 90’s Blue Jays? In particular, I loved to play with their team on Ken Griffey, Jr Major League Baseball on the Super Nintendo. Rickey Henderson, Roberto Alomar, John Olerud, Joe Carter, Duane Ward, Pat Hentgen, etc. (or at least...

Baseball’s offseason sucks. Well, alright, every sports offseason sucks. But baseball’s feels worse, somehow. Maybe it’s just how slowly it moves. There’s no real free agent blitz like there is in football; it can be months before free agents...
