New York Yankees Sign Matt Diaz
Posted on 27 December 2012.
In an unsurprising move, the New York Yankees have agreed to terms with outfielder Matt Diaz. There had been some speculation in recent days that the Yankees would go out and sign Diaz as he would help them fulfill their need for a right-handed hitting outfielder. Many people believed that the Yankees would attempt to [...]

Angels Clear Logjam, Land Jason Vargas
Posted on 20 December 2012.
The acquisition of Josh Hamilton gave the Angels what they wanted, but it also left the Angels with a little problem: between Peter Bourjos, Mark Trumbo, and Kendrys Morales, they had too many good players for too few spots. This was, as they say, a nice problem to have, and the Angels also felt they had a need for another innings-eating starting pitcher. So in a move surprising only because it went down between two teams in the same division, the Angels and Mariners have exchanged Morales and Jason Vargas, straight up. With one move, the Angels solved two perceived problems.
The whole trade is simple. It’s easy to understand, like an example transaction in Trading 101. The Angels had too many bats and too few starting pitchers, so they traded a bat for a starting pitcher. The Mariners wanted a bat more than they wanted to keep one of their starting pitchers. Morales didn’t fit in one place and he does fit in the other. Morales has one year left until free agency, and he’s projected…

Knobler: Tigers Not Interested in Joel Hanrahan
Posted on 16 December 2012.
The Tigers are in need of a late-inning reliever or closer and have a young, solid starting pitcher that they are likely to trade. The Pirates need a solid starting pitcher and have a late-inning reliever or closer that they are likely to trade.
Because of those two things, many have wondered that a deal involving the Pirates’ Joel Hanrahan and Tigers’ Rick Porcello makes sense for both teams. But Danny Knobler of CBS Sports reports otherwise.
Also in same blog: While Tigers could use a late-inning reliever, they’re not interested in Joel Hanrahan of Pirates. cbsprt.co/WeQVjB

I still think the Pirates should be making a pretty strong push for Porcello, but if the Tigers are not interested in Hanrahan, it does make it a little harder for the Pirates to put together a package for him.

Twins May Bring Back Francisco Liriano on One Year Deal
Posted on 29 November 2012.
The Minnesota Twins are desperately in need of starting pitchers. Recently the Twins have engaged Francisco Liriano about a return to the team. Lirano was traded from the Twins to the Chicago White Sox midway though last season.
Liriano, 29, finished last season with a 5.34 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP.
The Twins have had Liriano on their roster for each of his seven big league seasons. After starting his career off with high expectations, Liriano never returned to form following Tommy John surgery after the 2006 season.
The Kansas City Royals are another team who are believed to be interested in signing the left hander.

Colletti: Trade for Starting Pitcher Unlikely
Posted on 08 November 2012.
INDIAN WELLS The Dodgers are probably unlikely to trade for a starting pitcher this winter and might have to address that need in the free-agent market, General Manager Ned Colletti said.
Collettis assessment was based on conversations he had with other teams at the general managers meetings, which started Wednesday.
Asked about what hes learned in the last 24 hours about the market for pitching, Colletti said, Ive done a little more trade-wise, whats possible or impossible — more impossible than possible.
The Dodgers are looking to add a No. 2 or 3 pitcher to compliment ace Clayton Kershaw.
Of the pitching market in general, Colletti said, Its not massive. Its probably unlikely trade-wise. There are probably three or four different pitchers we have interest in. Well see. Its still fairly early in the process. But pitching is most of our concentration right now.
The Dodgers are believed to be interested in free agent pitchers Zack Greinke, Hiroki Kuroda and Anibal Sanchez.
Colletti said the free-agent

Posted on 21 October 2012.
Last night, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright felt the need to bust-a-move in the Cardinals dugout during the first inning of play. It appears that Adam’s style of dance is along the lines of loving himself and being so fresh that he can’t help it: Your browser does not support iframes. (Courtesy of Holdout Sports)
