    Red Sox get Aaron Hill for Wilkerson and Rijo

    No he would have fit in perfectly, having allowed 13 runs in 18 innings in his new AAA home.

    Is it safe to discuss John Farrell again?

    My problem with the fire Farrell narrative is that, outside of obvious cases like Valentine, the only reason it is even considered is because people care about the Red Sox doing well, and when they are not fans NEED an explanation, it's just an natural emotional response. Especially with...

    Pitching Targets

    So the Yankees have climbed back above .500 despite getting absolutely nothing from Horseface and Blue Lips.

Kelly and Eddie came over in trades, to be sure, but it would be so satisfying to know that there exists some semblance of a successful program...

    When are the windows in the AL East?

    Joey Bats would have to nosedive pretty steeply this year to only command a contract around $14m AAV, or he would have to give Toronto a massive discount. An elite bat like his will earn no less than ~$20m as FA cleanup hitter mercenary.
