Keith Law thinks so. Or more accurately, Law thinks the Tigers were wrong to give Benoit a three-year deal… I truly thought major league GMs had moved beyond offering middle relievers three- or four-year deals.

THE JUNKYARD DOGS WEBTOPIA… Noah Pransky [...]

Carl Crawford is a Type A free agent. This means that if when Crawford signs with another team, the Rays will receive a compensation draft pick in the 2011 draft (between the first and second round) as well as a draft pick from the team that signs Crawford. Where exactly [...]
TR Sullivan of MLB.com says that the Rays are willing to trade either James Shields or Matt Garza, and that the Rangers could be a good match… Texas’ offseason search usually begins with starting pitching, and that will be the case again. Both the Rays and the White Sox have [...]
