Never underestimate Mike Ilitch's appetite for a championship. While the Tigers loved what they got from Anibal Sanchez a year ago, they didn't have $80 million budgeted to keep him off the free-agent market. But that's what Dave Dombrowski persuaded...

MINNEAPOLIS -- Righthander Kevin Correia’s signing with the Twins could be announced as soon as today, with the deal pending a physical. The contract is reportedly for two years and $10 million.  Correia, 12-11 with a 4.21 ERA last season with...

Terry Ryan has nothing against free-agent outfielder Michael Bourn. Honest. But the general manager knows his Twins aren't going to compete again in the American League Central — Joe Mauer or no Joe Mauer — until they fix a starting rotation...

The Hagerstown Suns are starting to show the tendency of vampires and gremlins. They all seem to only come out at night. Hagerstown continued to show its difficulties in playing daytime baseball as Lakewood used a four-run first inning and rode it to...

Brian Goodwin doesn’t even have to get a hit to make a difference for the Hagerstown Suns. His feet are good enough. Goodwin drew a leadoff walk in the ninth inning and took third on an errant pickoff throw to set up Jason Martinson’s one-...
