Bobby Valentine is exactly what those "divas" the Red Sox have on their roster need. Those players need some fire, and Bobby won't put up with the BS that Terry Francona put up with and let happen.

MLB and players agree to a new CBA. We got baseball for another 5 years.
Ryan Doumit to the twins. 1-year, $3 mil. |

Surprised Doumit couldn't get a starting gig somewhere. He's a pretty good hitter for a catcher and is at least passable behind the plate.

Doumit gets injured a lot too though. He and Mauer splitting time between DH and C gives them both some much needed breaks.

The Mets have new uniforms for next year as well to celebrate their 50th anniversary.
Love it. Removing the black dropshadow from the text was a great move. Also they are apparently only wearing the blue caps this year, with the exception of black jersey days which are going to be greatly scaled back and probably eliminated by 2013 in favor of the slick orange-on-blue jersey. Great move. The Mets wore blue caps with their road greys once in 2008 and people have been calling for it to return ever since. |

The away jersey looks nice. For some reason, I don't like pinstripes with the Mets color scheme.

I remember a time when MLB did their "Turn Ahead The Clock" thing, where they had teams come out wearing what they thought would be the jerseys those teams would be wearing in the future, in the new millenium.
Funny thing is that instead of adopting the "futuristic look", teams haven't changed their uniforms much, for the most part (thankfully), and in the case of the Blue Jays, Mets and Orioles, some are actually going back to their classic look. |

Indians are trying their hardest to keep Grady Sizemore around for another year.
Dunno. Guy keeps getting injured, but I understand he's a fixture on that team. One more for the gipper I suppose. |

I bet that giant Pirates logo would make the ball really hard to pick up for hitters. Probably the Rockies one too.

Those unis were ridiculous. Love how everybody just made blown up versions of their logos...whereas the Mets inferred that the franchise would be moved to another fucking planet. Insane lol.

So apparently yesterday was the day where teams had to add prospects to their 40-man rosters to keep them from being Rule 5 draft eligible. The Mets actually added a whopping 7 players: RHP Jeruys Familia, LHP Robert Carson, 2B Reese Havens, SS Wilmer Flores, OF Kirk Niewenhuis, OF Cesar Puello, and OF Juan Lagares.
Familia, Flores, Puello, and Lagares appear to be at least 2 years away...kinda shocked they've been in the organization long enough where they already have to go on the 40 man. Carson's probably not ready, but will get a token look as a potential 2nd lefty in the pen. Captain Kirk and Havens, if they stay healthy, should probably see their first big league action in 2012 even if its just as September call-ups. I could see teams taking flyers on pitchers Brad Holt or Collin McHugh in the Rule 5 draft. I'm a little surprised the Mets didn't throw 3B Jefry Marte onto the 40-man, but the odds of a 20 year old position player who hasn't passed Single A yet staying on a big league roster aren't very good. |

Pretty important new change to the CBA: Type A relievers no longer force you to forfeit your 1st round pick. Reason being that every year there are set up guys/middle relievers who get fucked over because no team will forfeit a 1st rounder for a middle reliever.
Phillies still have to forfeit a pick for Papelbon since the signing happened under the old CBA. Bell, K-Rod, and Madson can all be had without losing a pick. |

Probably would also change how teams deal with Type A players because a lot of times they get put on a waiver as a test to see what the potential trade value could be knowing full well no team can just take them without giving up something (ex. Red Sox with Papelbon a bunch of times).

The Padres also got screwed by this because they probably would have traded Bell had they known they wouldn't get draft picks for him.
Of course, the likely landing spot for him was the Cardinals and it wound up being a non-issue. |

from mlbtraderumors.com
Selig is gonna pay a visit to San Francisco within 2 weeks and chat with the Giants top brass about the A's creeping into their turf. The A's want to relocate to San Jose and build a new stadium there. The Giants got alot of fans in that part of the area and they don't want to be drawn away to the new A's stadium in the future. They need 3.2 million fans to break even on their $130 mil. payroll this upcoming season. If the Giants don't loosen up on their turf rights, MLB might buy the club, get a new stadium deal, and turn around and sell it off again. |

I wonder if the team would become the San Jose Athletics or if they'd get a new name. They've already moved once and kept the Athletics name.

If the Orioles and Nationals could make it work, the Giants and A's should as well.
