Thanks to the folks over at MLB.com's Cut 4, we know that it's a fact that Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers had better odds of breaking Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak—and that the Mets' Bartolo Colon had better odds of hitting an inside-the-park home run—than any of us had of winning Wednesday's $1.6 billion Powerball jackpot.
It would be great if the rumor mill would follow suit and provide us with fancy graphics and odds for the speculation making the rounds to become fact. But such a fictional innovation remains nothing more than a dream.
That's where we come in, as we try to make sense of all the week's chatter.
Has a free agent's arrival guaranteed the departure of the face of a franchise? Will a contender sell low on the trade market to free up some cash? Could two of the biggest bats still available in free agency be to blame for going unsigned?
We'll tackle all of that and more in this week's edition of Fact or Fiction.
