Ah, the difficulties of being a GM. Should
Theo pick up Manny’s option? Should Theo sign Jason
Varitek after the season? For right now, the most pressing concern for the Red Sox is what they will do before the July 31 trade deadline. Should the Red Sox consider trading one of their young arms? Where will the Sox find bullpen help? Now that the Yankees have traded for both...

The thing about the sale of the Chicago
Cubs, and all its trimmings (Wrigley Field and ComcastSports
Chicago), is it may be unlike any deal prior. Forget looking at the Lerners and Stan Kasten with the Nationals. Forget looking at Liberty Media and the sale of the Braves from Time Warner. Forget the sale of the Dodgers to Frank McCourt. It seems that we should expect the unexpected. This ...

The Braves aren't out of the playoff race.
Still, they'd be wise to look out for their
future and trade Mark Teixeira, says Ken Rosenthal.
MIAMI -- If the Braves are going to
make a run and put themselves back in legitimate
playoff contention, they are going to need Chipper Jones. But when they go to Philadelphia for an important three-game series against the Phillies this weekend, they ...
This would be a great trade for Tampa.
It would launch them over the Red Sox and
Yankees. Well, maybe.
PREGAME : The Tigers will try and score
some more runs, providing they aren’t too tired from
circling the bases last night. They won’t have Jimmy Gobble to beat up because he’s now on the DL . The Tigers are facing Kyle Davies ...

I will ask you a simple question: What
is more intriguing during the dog days of summer
than old, soon-to-be washed up left-handed pitchers coming off the disabled list? And if you say NFL training camp I'm going to slap you. That's not interesting. ...

help for their overworked bullpen. A guy that could

Around the Majors Teams that sought a big-time
starting pitcher needed to act early. Now, with CC

The Rockies and Braves will wait until right
before the July 31st deadline to decide whether to

Before I let my giddiness get the best
of me, here is a disclaimer. I know that
the Cardinals current five-game winning streak has come against the lowly Pirates and Padres and that the rest of this month’s schedule (four at home with Milwaukee, three on the road against the Mets and four on the road against the Braves) will be a much better gauge of how good this team really is.

for the Braves in the second half. His elbow came away feeling good from his bullpen session Saturday, Braves general manager Frank Wren said, and after taking a day ...
Very entertaining!
First of a series which brings a fresh
look at the people who coach the Braves. Good
background info. Interesting perspective. It's "meet the guy in the uniform."
