Let's be honest here, Justin Upton's first game back in Arizona wasn't exactly Alex Rodriguez heading back to Texas or Roger Clemens returning to Fenway Park. When he stepped up in the top of the first inning on Monday, it was mostly a milquetoast re...

So Felix Hernandez really does love Seattle. About time. For a franchise that traded away Randy Johnson, that experienced Ken Griffey Jr. asking out of town, that saw Alex Rodriguez depart for a better park to pad his home run totals, it's abou...

The more I think about the report out of Miami, the more I think we've seen the last of Alex Rodriguez in a major league uniform. It's a sad ending to a great career, but a career that will remain forever tarnished, a career that now will be remember...

Click here for Tuesday's chat wrap as we discussed Alex Rodriguez, the new Atlanta outfielder, Braves fans and Cardinals fans ... and much, much more!...

A couple weeks ago, Keith Law unveiled his annual list of the top 25 players under the age of 25 . Keith's list isn't a projection of the best players for 2013, but rather a projection and ordering of players if you were starting a franchise. I th...

This will be the year. How long have we been saying this about the New York Yankees? This will be the year. Too old, too many bloated contracts, not enough young talent coming up through the minors and now ownership that -- horror of horrors! -- s...

The truth is, there aren't really any terrible contracts in baseball. There are bad contracts and bad players getting overpaid, sure, but as we've seen in recent years, teams can still win with the most burdensome of deals on their ledger and have e...

Joe Girardi continues his lineup-pulled-from-a-hat routine and in Game 4 there's no Alex Rodriguez or Curtis Granderson in the starting nine. Nick Swisher returns to right field with Brett Gardner sliding over to center field from left. Eric Chavez i...

Here's the transcript from Tuesday's chat session. We discussed the playoffs (of course), Matt Holliday's slide (needless to say), the umpires (hard to ignore), Josh Hamilton (his future), Alex Rodriguez (his future) and much, much more!...

It's always been a soap opera with Alex Rodriguez during his tenure with the New York Yankees: From the brawl with Jason Varitek in 2004 to slapping the ball out of Bronson Arroyo's glove in the playoffs to the time Joe Torre hit him eighth in the 20...

Will the Yankees get swept? What does Joe Girardi do about the lineup? Is it possible Justin Verlander loses? Eric Karabell and I break down Game 3 of the ALCS....

If you watched Game 1 of the NLCS, you saw an obvious problem with Madison Bumgarner: He was struggling to reach 90 mph and finally fell apart in the fourth inning. After throwing eight shutout innings against the Dodgers on Aug. 20 -- throwing a sea...

The Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees each won their division series in five games, thus requiring both to use their ace in the fifth game. Despite that, the Tigers had an obvious advantage heading into the American League Championship Series, than...

Some postseason averages through the first four games for some Yankees hitters: Alex Rodriguez: .125, 16 AB, 9 SO Ichiro Suzuki: .200, 20 AB, 3 SO Nick Swisher: .133, 15 AB, 3 SO Robinson Cano: .111, 18 AB, 1 SO Curtis Granderson: .063, 16 AB,...

What's your take on the postseason so far? Do the A's or Giants have a chance to get back in their series? What about all the sloppy play we've seen so far? Should the Yankees move Alex Rodriguez down in the order? Has Dusty Baker done a great job wi...

In a roundabout way, this is about Mike Trout and Miguel Cabrera, but it's really more about Mike Trout. Tigers fans, feel free to stop reading now. Mike Trout has a Wins Above Replacement total -- what we refer to as WAR -- of 10.6. That means he...
