Waiting Game Now Fruitful For Free Agents

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.  The fact that you were still around come mid-to-late January meant you had some wart that scared teams off.  Whether it be a rigid agent or a glaring… Continue reading Waiting Game Now Fruitful For Free Agents

Chapman Addition Gives Yanks Scarier Pen

As it has been stated many times in many places, putting together a good bullpen is one of the toughest asks in all of sport.  However, the New York Yankees made it look very easy yesterday with the acquisition of Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman.  The Bronx Bombers sent four mid-tier minor leaguers to the… Continue reading Chapman Addition Gives Yanks Scarier Pen

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

Top Free Agents: Catcher

Over the next month, we will head towards the winter meetings with the top free agents at each area of the baseball diamond.  We’ll start off with catcher, and then work our way outward.  Starting and relief pitchers will be next.  That will be followed by infielders and end with outfielders.  As a National League… Continue reading Top Free Agents: Catcher
