We’re now less than two weeks away from Opening Day, and the Yankees have a few choices left to make regarding their roster. Namely, they’re whittling down who on the pitching staff is going to be heading with the team to San Francisco, and then based off of that deciding if they’re going to carry […]
Jays 5 Marlins 4 (Six innings, rain-shortened) A win is a win. Pitchers: Batters, starters: Others: I hate rain shortened spring games. I want to see the young guys late him the game.

This morning, San Diego Padres manager Craig Stammen made it as close to official as possible that starting pitcher Joe Musgrove will begin the regular season on the injured list.

MIAMI, Florida — An elite match up between two baseball juggernauts didn’t deliver a lot of offense last night in Miami at the World Baseball Classic. But how could it? Both pitching staffs were dealing and even two of the best offenses ever assembled by the United States and the Dominican Republic struggled to put […]
News out of camp this morning that the Diamondbacks have signed Luis Urias. For some reason, I thought this was a pitcher they had previously signed this spring, then let go, but turns out that was… someone else [Two minutes of low-intensity Googling turned up nothing] This one is a 28-year-old infielder, who brings eight […]
