Jason Bay is supposedly “moving on” from the Boston Red Sox. Who does his agent think he is? Scott Boras? Come on. Why in the heck would Jason Bay WANT to leave 65 million on the table to play in a park that he would continue to dominate, playing on a team getting ready to [...]

The Brew Crew from the cheesehead state made a big splash today by signing Randy Wolf and LaTroy Hawkins to bolster the pitching staff. Hawkins should provide some stability in terms of a late-inning, go-to guy to set up for Trevor Hoffman. Hawkins has always been underrated in terms of a set up guy, and [...]

Pudge has agreed to a 2 year deal worth approximately 6 or 7 million. I actually love the sign. Pudge has had the reputation of going to young teams and really helping out the pitching staffs. He’s a real professional and one of the best defensive catchers ever. I think he’s got some baseball left, [...]
