A free agent for the first time in his 11-year MLB career, Alex Rios has opted to sign with the Kansas City Royals.

Tony Gwynn passed away earlier this year after a long battle with cancer, but one fan has found a way to keep the San Diego Padres legend's memory alive during the holidays.

In honor of Mr. Padre, the fan incorporated Gwynn into an incredible holiday display. From a life-size Gwynn cutout to a giant "19" to a replica Hall of Fame plaque, this tribute had it all.

The Chicago Cubs officially introduced starting pitcher Jon Lester as the newest member of the organization on Monday afternoon.    

Fox Sports: MLB captured the moment on Twitter:

It's that time of the year, folks.

No, not the holidays. I'm talking about the fantasy football playoffs, where a single move can make the difference between winning and losing.

Adam Wainwright knows this all too well.

The Chicago Cubs' rapid-fire rebuild continued Tuesday, as they acquired All-Star catcher Miguel Montero from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for pitching prospects Jeferson Mejia and Zack Godley.
