Couple of MLB news today:
Padres were rumored to have been the frontrunners to get James Shield but something supposedly happened within the past 24 hours that they might have lost out on him.
New MLB commish believes the Hall of Fame needs some tweaking in regards to how they've handled the Roid Era candidates. Currently thinks the Hall voters are too biased with assumptions in determining who was or wasn't a roid player and using it as the sole reason to not vote for someone.

"I think it's unfair," Manfred said, in answer to a follow-up question, "for people to surmise that Player A did X, Y or Z, absent a positive test, or proof that we produced in an investigation, or whatever. I just think it runs contrary to a very fundamental notion in our society, that you're innocent until somebody proves you're guilty."
