If Greg Maddux was a free agent what would he earn? I’ve wondered this the last few days as the 42-year-old with 355 wins has hung up the cleats.
Maddux only had one real shot at free agency and signed with the Atlanta Braves in the winter of 1992 following his first Cy Young season. Maddux [...]
Contrary to what was said yesterday the agent of free agent Odalis Perez denied that the left hander and the Washington Nationals are working on a multi-year deal.
Martin Arburua stated that the team has expressed an interest in retaining Perez but that both parties are going to see how the free-agent market plays out.
“What I [...]
Odalis Perez who signed with the Washington Nationals as a non-roster invitee to spring training last winter is rumored to be in serious negotiations with the club on an extension.
Once signed by the Nationals Perez pitched well enough in Spring Training to earn the nod for Opening Day. Now if this wasn’t the Washington Nationals [...]
Will Ohman has thusfar been one of the most heavly pursued free agents. Ohman, 31, spent last season with the Atlanta Braves working as a left handed specialist.
He will likely be the latest of these specialist relievers who will sign a multi-year deal. Ohman was aquired last winter by the Braves along with Omar Infante [...]
Travis Chick is one of nearly 600 minor league free agents. The former 14th round pick who most recently pitched in the Seattle Mariners minor league system has made his way around the league in recent years and this winter will look to find another place to call home.
It’s not that Chick can’t pitch. He’s [...]
Looks like the annual free agent list from Jeff Passan has been posted over at yahoo sports. I suppose his rankings are similiar to how I would have ranked the guys.
I don’t get paid to write about sports though so it’s easier for me to just look at someones list and disagree with it. I [...]
Pat Burrell reportably turned down a two-year $22 million dollar offer to stay with the Philadelphia Phillies. It may signal the end of his time with the team.
Burrell who was often linked but never traded to other teams during last winters hot stove meetings smacked 33 home runs, compiled a 874 OPS and drove in [...]
Four days until Christmas and I have the fealing that more then a few general manager’s are in the same predicament I am in. I’ve walked the mall, looked on the web, and even stood in some lines but I have nothing to show for it. Today is the day I make some progress. It has [...]
With 6 shopping days left until Christmas the Free Agent shelves are clearing out. Teams looking to sign worthwhile free agents to big deals are in tough luck but there are a few guys who could prove to be worthwhile additions for the 2008 season.
The majority of these guys are coming off injuries or complelty [...]
As predicted here Alex Rodriguez is back with the New York Yankees. Earlier this year Rodriguez became the youngest player to reach the 500 home run treshold. Rodriguez now is set to be guaranteed 275 million over the course of a new ten year contract.
Jeff Passan ranked all 144 free agents.
With help from the list over at MLB4U I’ve decided to take a look at the upcoming class of free agent center-fielders.
The two names you’ve probably head the most about are Andruw Jones and Torii Hunter, however there are at least three others who figure to get hefty contracts this off season.
Andruw Jones, 30, is [...]
