Welcome to ...... Masahiro Tanaka

Wherever Masahiro Tanaka ends up this year it has become evident it will be a big market club. This is because in order to speak to him, you need to pay millions of dollars.Because of this teams like Kansas City has no chance

Monday Moves

Some of the winter moves to happen on this busy Monday:
- The Oakland A's acquired LHP Fernando Abad from the Washington Nationals
- David Murphy signed a 2 year deal with the Cleveland Indians
- Rumors are swirling that the Toronto Blue Jays might be close to acquiring Jeff Samardzija from the Chicago Cubs

November Action

This offseason has been rather interesting because there has been lots of big moves in November. Most offseasons have a slow start and pick up later in the winter. I hope this means that the whole offseason and the 2014 season will be exciting. Here are some of the Big November moves:
-Prince Fielder/Ian Kinsler trade
-David Freese/Peter Bourjous trade
-Brian McCann to the Yankees
-Jhonny Peralta to the Cardinals
-Dan Haren to the Dodgers
-Marlon Byrd to Phillies
-Tim Hudson to the Giants
-Josh Johnson to the Padres
-Nick Punto to the A's
-Jason Vargas to the Royals
-Chris Young to the Mets

Dan Haren to the Dodgers

Th LA Dodgers have reached a 1 year agreement for 10 million dollars with RHP Dan Haren. Haren struggled last year in his one year with the Washington Nationals. The Dodgers just keep on spending money and now have a rotation that includes Kershaw, Grienke, Ryu, Nolasco, and now Haren

Not official yet but looks like Peralta is going to the Cardinals

Yanks Get McCann

Brain McCann who has played his whole career with NL East Champion Atlanta Braves. Is moving to New York under a multi million 5 year deal. The Yankees were looking for a catcher. McCann would fair well at Yankee Stadium especially with those short right field seats

pepper30: Houston Astros

A team that has no hope of making the postseason.
A team that baseball prospectus said has a 0.0% percent chance of making the world series
A team that has no players that anyone has ever heard of
A team that ended 2013 with a 15 game losing streak
Well Thats the Astros.... but can they fair better in 2014? Lets find out.
If the Astros sign some good players(Which they dont have the money for) they will still be to far back. Unlike Miami , a team with a surplus of young talent, Houston has no young stars!
Matt Dominguez type players are not stars, and Jose Veras type veterans cant lead the team. I know Astros fans are going to hate this but, the Astros have no chance at the postseason. However on a positive prospective, I like their Logo! Best of Luck to the 2014 Houston Astros
