The New York Yankees knew it'd be a tough job to rebuild after Derek Jeter retired, but they've started, and in drastic fashion too.

The Yankees are prepared to spend big money in order to reshuffle their roster in to a World Series winning one. Will these moves be of any benefit to their hopes? Read More »
The Moon Dog couldn't help himself, landing not one, not two, but three kisses on Upton. Right in front of Verlander. Classic Moon Dog. Read More »
Torii Hunter was a dynamic yet fairly overlooked player of the early 2000s, maybe because his name was never linked to any drug-related controversy, or maybe because his Twins never reached a World Series despite four playoff appearances. Either way, here's what he accomplished in his first go-around in the Twin Cities, in case you forgot. Read More »
New York Mets ace Matt Harvey isn't afraid of making headlines or being seen, and Tuesday, Dec. 2, he met the media in anticipation of his return season to the mound. Harvey, who missed all of 2014 after undergoing Tommy John surgery after bursting onto the scene as one of baseball's best pitchers in 2013, hinted vaguely at a playoff prediction for his normally moribund Mets. "I don't think it's going to be easy to skip starts — I don't think any pitcher is going to want to really do that," Harvey said, about taking small rests throughout the season, according to "USA Today." "But to be able to pitch in October is going to be more important." The Mets haven't sniffed October since 2006, after historic collapses in 2007 and 2008 seemed to serve as a middle-finger prerequisite to troubling times ahead. Soon after came the Bernie Madoff scandal and half a decade of futility. Then, in 2013, Harvey came along and stole the baseball spotlight. He started the 2013 All-Star Game and posted a 2.27 ERA in 26 starts. Read More »
Josh Donaldson is one of the best players the Oakland Athletics had, and one of the best the MLB has to offer, so it's fair to say the world was baffled when they decided to trade him to the Toronto Blue Jays. Rumors are suggesting it might well have been because of a fall-out between Josh and Billy Beane, the A's general manager. Now he's a Blue Jay, and he couldn't be happier, but will the A's suffer a huge decline because of yet another indecisive trade? Read More »

Looks like Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen is now a married man. MStars News has learned that the MLB star married his girlfriend Maria Hanslovan, after asking her to marry him on 'The Ellen Show' just one year ago. Read More »
The Cleveland Indians and several other MLB are in dire need of batting power, and there isn't much better power that one can obtain, other than Andrew McCutchen and Yoenis Cespedes. Both have been suggested as being "available for the right price", but will they leave, and where will they go? Andrew has just married Maria Hanslovan, so it's highly unlikely that he would want to take his wife to a brand new city, whereas Cespedes will be hoping to settle down. Would either star be willing to move, and where should they end up, and for what? Read More »
With the Boston Red Sox reportedly on the verge of signing Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval, adding two superstar slugging names to their roster, will the Sox now look to trade one of their surplus hitters?

Giancarlo Stanton was an unknown newcomer not so long ago, but now, as well as becoming one of the biggest stars in the MLB, he is now up there with the best-paid athletes in world sport. He has signed a $325M 13-year-contract with the Miami Marlins, and owner Jeffrey Loria has hailed his star. Stanton will now move alongside stars such as Floyd Mayweather, Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, Matt Ryan and Roger Federer, but will the Marlins live to regret this deal, and could it bring a salary cap to the MLB?
