1. Rangers (1): How good of a team do you have to be to beat the Tigers when Miguel Cabrera hits three home runs? Texas did that after putting Ian Kinsler on the DL on Sunday. Alexi Ogando is another recent addition to the DL. 2. Cardinals (2):...

   Previo al arranque de la temporada de 2012 lancé una maldición a los Angelinos de Los Angeles —y en particular a Albert Pujols— que aún sigue atormentando a los serafines y al slugger dominicano. Entonces, un sábado 24 de diciembre de...

If Adam Dunn is to remain in the lineup, why not drop him down after Ramirez?  Shouldn't the better hitters be lumped together?  Dunn just leaves too many on base to bat fourth.  Do it before the Sox totally drop out of contention, which will be soon if...

The Baltimore sports scene is blessed with a bunch of talented bloggers who bring their unique perspective to the conversation. Each week, I hope to chat with one of them in a regular feature called Blogger on Blogger. This week, I exchanged emails with...

Talking baseball while wondering if LeBron James and his kingsmen are taking the Bulls seriously. 1. When the Cubs get around to trading Alfonso Soriano, it would be ideal to have a homegrown replacement ready. There are none in sight, however, as Brett...

CLEVELAND - The Cleveland Indians pounded out seven home runs, five of them two-run homers, and rolled to a 14-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies Tuesday night. The seven home runs are one shy of the club record. Indians utilityman Ryan Raburn,...

Nate Jones inherited a situation Wednesday about as tough as any jam he was in during his rookie season in 2012. And although Jones allowed one of Jose Quintana's baserunners to score from third, he prevented the tying run from scoring in the sixth...

1. Tigers: Forget the concern at closer. They were loaded last year, and they're a lot better with Victor Martinez, Torii Hunter and a full year of Anibal Sanchez. 2. Dodgers: Hanley Ramirez's injury could slow them out of the gate, but they're deep and...

TEMPE, Ariz. — Angels pitcher Tommy Hanson left Wednesday’s exhibition game against the Cleveland Indians after three innings because of triceps tightness, an injury that flared up as the right-hander was throwing his warm-up pitches before...

The Yankees appear to be imploding around GM Brian Cashman, making some wonder if the Steinbrenner brothers will become more involved. If they do, Alfonso Soriano could be in play in trade talks before opening day. Cashman wants nothing to do with the two...

For all the hype about the Dodgers' dethroning the New York Yankees as baseball's payroll kings, the Yankees still had been projected to field the highest-priced opening-day lineup. Until Wednesday, that is. The Yankees announced Wednesday that...
