Are Cardinals Making Right Decision Leaving Trevor Rosenthal in Closer Role?

The Cardinals made it known that Trevor Rosenthal will remain their closer in 2014.

After taking over for the fatigued and broken down Edward Mujica, Rosenthal, 23, was phenomenal in the second half of the 2013 season and the postseason.

The hard-throwing Rosenthal was unhittable. He routinely made opposing hitters look foolish as they whiffed at his 98-plus mph heat.

Big Moves Miami Marlins Could Actually Pull off This Offseason

Imagine a scenario where the Miami Marlins calls Jay Z's sports agency, Roc Nation, and tells him they are prepared to offer All-Star second baseman Robinson Cano the 10-year, $300 milllion contract the New York Yankees aren't willing to put on the table. 

Cardinals-Rangers Trade Proposal Is a Win-Win Blockbuster

The St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers faced off in a classic World Series in 2011, but now they can come together for their mutual benefit. The Cards’ pursuit of a shortstop and the Rangers’ apparent willingness to deal from a middle-infield surplus have emerged as prominent story lines early in this offseason.

Big Moves the Cleveland Indians Could Actually Pull off This Offseason


With free agency looming, and trade rumors swirling, the Indians look poised to make a big splash in the 2013-14 offseason.

Cleveland's salary commitments total a measly $48.28 million for the 2014 season, so the team figures to play heavily in the free-agency market. Additionally, given the team's depth at middle infield, and in the outfield, the Tribe could also be a major player on various trading blocks.

Big Moves the Chicago White Sox Could Actually Pull off This Offseson

Any big moves that Chicago White Sox general manager Rick Hahn makes this offseason will need to accomplish two things.

First, they have to make the White Sox better in 2015 and 2016 as well as next year. Second, they must be cost effective to a fault. 

The Definitive Blueprint for a Successful Los Angeles Dodgers Offseason

With the 2013 baseball season over, the sting of a six-game NLCS loss still fresh in Dodgers fans hearts, it's time to do one of two things:

Mets: The Definitive Blueprint for a Successful NY Mets Offseason

A New York Mets offseason certain to prove a pillar in whatever the future holds for the franchise has been somewhat quiet thus far.  For how much longer remains to be seen, but the expectations are high.  

San Francisco Giants: Exploring Their Options This Offseason

The San Francisco Giants, for the first time in a long time, are going to make splashy moves in the offseason.

San Francisco already dished out lofty amounts of money to retain Hunter Pence and Tim Lincecum, but    there is still more to do. Left field needs to be upgraded, the pitching staff needs to be filled out and the bench needs improvement.

What should the Giants do this offseason?

Arizona Diamondbacks Should Avoid Trading for David Price

David Price thinks he has thrown his last pitch for the Tampa Bay Rays, according to a report by Roger Mooney of The Tampa Tribune, and the early rumors, as discussed by Joel Sherman of the New York Post, have the Arizona Diamondb

Is Masahiro Tanaka Worth the New York Yankees' 'Bold' Interest?

After keeping it holstered last winter, the word is that the New York Yankees are ready to get their checkbook out again this winter, and that they're not going to be messing around when they do.

That will be the case as far as their pursuit of Japanese right-handed pitcher Masahiro Tanaka is concerned anyway, and yours truly is inclined to say "Rightfully so!" to the idea.
