This is Derek Jeter's final season playing baseball, and he's enjoying every second of it.

Friday's game between the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays was just another example.

In the third inning, teammate Ichiro Suzuki homered for the first time since last August. When he arrived back to the dugout, Jeter gave him a blank stare.

After losing his job with the Boston Red Sox, A.J. Pierzynski is ready to return to the major leagues. The team announced the deal on Saturday:

Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch first reported the St. Louis Cardinals were attempting to sign the veteran catcher:

With a new class of baseball legends on the verge of entering the hallowed halls of Cooperstown, Turner Sports' Rachel Nichols sat down with two Hall of Famers and one star who's days away from being enshrined for a brief interview.

Goose Gossage, Ozzie Smith and Greg Maddux discussed some of the biggest issues in the game today, along with a couple of other topics.

The Toronto Blue Jays have gotten back into contention by winning five of their last seven games coming out of the All-Star break.

Toronto is now just three games behind the Baltimore Orioles for the top spot in the American League East. The Blue Jays are also tied with the New York Yankees for the second wild-card spot in the AL.

The Seattle Mariners made their first move of the trade-deadline season on Thursday, acquiring Kendrys Morales from the Minnesota Twins.

The 2014 MLB trade deadline is right around the corner. Some teams are putting together rosters to propel them into the postseason, while others are selling talent to stock up on prospects. 

The New York Yankees are known to have very deep pockets and will do what it takes to win at any cost. Whom do you think the Yankees should add to help them climb their way to the top of the AL East?
