San Francisco Giants pitcher and living American myth Madison Bumgarner continued adding to the tall tale that is his life by channeling Paul Bunyan for a photo shoot at spring training Monday.

The Los Angeles Dodgers aren't above shopping for potential bargains, as evidenced by their reported signing of right-handed pitcher Brandon Beachy. 

According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, the Dodgers signed Beachy to a one-year deal with a team option for 2016. 

Eric Stephen of True Blue LA provided contract details:

Zack Greinke's 2015 season isn't off to a great start, as the Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander reportedly received a preventive shot to help his pitching elbow.  

According to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register, the Dodgers announced that Greinke will be shut down after getting a "lubricating injection."

Change was the theme of the offseason for the Los Angeles Dodgers, both on and off the field.

The San Francisco Giants are basking in the glow of their third world championship in five years. In today's era of free agency and player movement, this is indeed a dynasty.

However, the Giants did not make a major splash in the free-agent market this winter, and one must wonder if general manager Brian Sabean has done enough to keep the Giants in contention in 2015.
