It has been a rather tumultuous offseason for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Following a brutal NLDS loss to the Mets, Los Angeles knew they had many a free agent agenda to attend to. None was bigger than bringing back Zack Greinke to solidify the rotation. However, that task was not completed as Greinke left Chavez… Continue reading Dodgers Youngsters Will Be The Difference

Mets’ Clock Is Ticking
The improbable run to the 2015 World Series by the New York Mets was truly amazin’. They weren’t supposed to be able to usurp the Nationals in the NL East. Hell, they weren’t even projected to beat out the Marlins for the a Wild Card spot. They bested both and then some. Once they reached… Continue reading Mets’ Clock Is Ticking
Waiting Game Now Fruitful For Free Agents
It used to be the case in Major League Baseball that the closer it came to Spring Training, the less value you had as a free agent.

Top Free Agents: Outfielders
We round up our series on the top free agents still available with the outfielders. As was said with the infielders, the market is still very plentiful in the outfield. Jason Heyward is the only big ticket outfielder taken having signed a massive 8 year, $184 million pact with the Cubs. All three positions still… Continue reading Top Free Agents: Outfielders
Top Free Agents: Infielders
While the starting and pitching markets have been plundered, and outfielder Jason Heyward got a huge payday from the Cubs, the infielders contingent remains a relatively untapped market this winter. New Cubs second baseman Ben Zobrist is the lone big free agent signing from the MLB ranks. Korean first basemen Byung Ho Park got a… Continue reading Top Free Agents: Infielders
Top Free Agents: Relief Pitcher
Building a bullpen from year to year is the biggest crap shoot in baseball. The variance in what a relief pitcher does from year to year can be night and day. But still teams shell out tremendous sums in hopes that they have found their missing piece to their late innings puzzle. Frugality goes out… Continue reading Top Free Agents: Relief Pitcher
Top Free Agents: Starting Pitcher
The starting pitcher market just got ramped up to 11 this week as two gigantic signings came through. Two American League power brokers trying to put disastrous 2015’s behind them ponied up some serious coin for front line starters. The Tigers struck first giving Jordan Zimmermann $110 million over 5 years. Dave Dombrowski one-upped his… Continue reading Top Free Agents: Starting Pitcher
