Although the Toronto Blue Jays have been extremely disappointing in 2013, it is very likely that the 2014 version of the franchise will look very similar to this year's team. In particular, many—if not all—of the team's primary position players could be back at their respective positions next season.

Derek Jeter is currently in Tampa, rehabbing from a calf injury and trying to make it back to the Bronx for the stretch run of the 2013 season. In the aftermath of a fractured ankle set back and subsequent leg injuries, the 39-year-old shortstop has played in just five games this season. 

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Ryan Dempster decided to practice vigilante justice on Sunday night when he threw at New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez.

The New York Yankees will enter the offseason with 12 players eligible for free agency.

Many of those players will not be returning to the team.

The Yankees will look to plug holes with available free agents while staying true to their goal of staying under the luxury tax, as David Waldstein of the New York Times reported in March.

While there are still two-and-a-half months left in the 2013 regular season, it is not too early to look ahead to what the Boston Red Sox's starting nine will look like on Opening Day next season.

There will be some new faces, but many of the options the Red Sox have are already signed to long-term deals or are young, athletic players who could make a huge difference in the playoff race.

Let's see who is in the starting lineup come Opening Day for 2014.

While the Baltimore Orioles' 2013 season is far from over, it's never too early to speculate on the future of the ballclub.

The O's have a solid team and they don't have that many players who are free agents after this season, meaning their lineup probably won't look extremely different from this year's starting nine.

Boston Red Sox star David Ortiz was ejected from Saturday night's road game against the Baltimore Orioles after smashing the bullpen phone in the visiting dugout.

Boston Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington is currently in the midst of a search for a starting pitcher who can replace Clay Buchholz in the franchise’s rotation.

Peter Gammons of MLB Network reports a few players the Red Sox are scouting:

Edwin Encarnacion showed just how much power he has when he blasted a pair of home runs in the seventh inning against the Houston Astros on Friday.

Alfonso Soriano made his return to New York Friday, as he played for the Yankees for the first time since 2003.
