It was hardly a surprise. After all, for several days numerous media outlets had reported that Junichi Tazawa would shun other offers and sign with the Boston Red Sox without playing a day of professional baseball in Japan. The 22-year-old right-hander, who will likely begin his Red Sox career ...

During his tenure as general manager of the Boston Red Sox, Theo Epstein has never let a player reach arbitration. He has always reached an agreement before the hearing. Epstein's track record has continued with Dustin Pedroia. Today, it was announced that the Red Sox have signed the 2008 ...

Can you get any sicker of Starbury or Burress? This is what is such a joke about these two players: Starbury's team plays better without him on the court and he has done nothing but cause problems for the franchise, from getting coaches fired to his overall unattractive personality. He's also ...

I've suffered quite a lot of bipolar feelings in regards to this whole arbitration thing. Mike Mussina, Pudge Rodriguez, Bobby Abreu and Andy Pettitte were the main players who were eligible for arb, but with Mussina retiring and Rodriguez not worth the risk of resigning or for the same ...

As expected, the Boston Red Sox offered arbitration to Jason Varitek and Paul Byrd today. Varitek will unlikely accept. Chances are, neither will Byrd, but it would be beneficial to the Red Sox if he did. Byrd, who will turn 38 on Wednesday, is nothing special. He has a career record of 108-93 ...

Rich Gossage had long deserved enshrinement in the Baseball Hall of Fame, and he finally received that honor earlier this year. Now, it should be Jim Rice's turn. The former Red Sox slugger and current NESN on-air personality has been eligible for the hall for 14 years. When the announcement ...

The turkey is starting to give off that "eat me!" scent downstairs, so I'm going to make this quick. If you're a Yankees fan or an American, either your starting rotation or your economy are in their worst shape in a long time. For some of us, myself included, our lifetimes. ...

Thanksgiving is here, but the Boston Red Sox roster for 2009 is no clearer than it was when Jed Lowrie grounded into the force out that ended Game Seven of the ALCS. Sure, Lowrie will likely be the starting shortstop, but who will man first base and catcher? The winter meetings, which will take ...

O.K everyone. I worked really hard on this one to make it the funniest entry to date. If you are not roaring you are not reading. This is just hysterical. I've had this idea in my head for years about the insanity of promotions and as they say in comedy - exaggeration is key. In a ...

Well it's about time. The Angels have started their discussions with Free Agent Happy Meal, CC Sabathia and are rumored to offer something along the lines of Johan Santana's contract. As a Yankees fan, I'm mildly relieved. Sabathia had said at the end of the season he wanted this thing done ...

It appears that Boston has landed Junichi Tazawa, the 22-year-old right-hander from Japan. NPB Tracker (www.npbtracker.com), a site that covers Japanese baseball, wrote: "Sponichi has published a detailed account of the contract Boston offered to Junichi Tazawa. T he article also ...

In a matter of weeks - or perhaps a few months - Mark Teixeira will become one of the wealthiest players in Major League Baseball. There are few players in today's game that are worth $20 million per season. Count Teixeira among them. He is a switch-hitter who hits for average and produces ...

Andy Pettitte's arm is about as useful as Stonewall Jackson's.
There was this guy on the Yankees, he didn't throw all that hard, he's a veteran, he's a smart pitcher, eats innings, stays healthy, and he was terrible in 2007. I'm trying to remember his name, He had one more year on his ...
