I can’t think of much worse news for the New York Yankees. On Thursday night, closer Mariano Rivera was in the outfield during batting practice before their game. That’s all well and great until he collapsed in a heap holding his knee and had to be carted off the field. The end result? A torn [...]
The Kansas City Royals seem to be in a bind every season as year in and and year out, it turns out that they don’t really have many players who excel at the game of baseball. It’s a true story, just look at the standings from…any time that isn’t in the 80′s. So when they [...]
Perhaps the biggest offseason priority for the San Francisco Giants (besides finding out a way to rid themselves of Barry Zito’s awful pitching and huge contract) was to improve their lineup. Their pitching has always been stellar, but they have about two guys in the lineup that can hit a curve ball and one was [...]
As bad as the Kansas City Royals have been for years, they actually do have a pretty sweet farm system with several guys ready to come up sooner rather than later. Earlier in May, they brought up Eric Hosmer and he’s been pretty good for them. Another prospect, however, isn’t so lucky. According to the [...]

What’s with all the appendectomies? Last week, it was St. Louis Cardinals slugger Matt Holliday who needed an appendectomy, and now it’s Chicago White Sox big man Adam Dunn. The DH went 0-4 for in a loss to the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday and didn’t feel right after the game. So, he had trainer [...]
The Kansas City Royals don’t have to do anything right now regarding pitcher Zack Greinke. He’s scheduled to make $13.5 million in each of his next two seasons, so he’s theirs if they want him. Apparently, they don’t. According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, many league executives really think that Greinke will get traded. “Execs [...]
Stunning news out of Yorba Linda today, the Kansas City Royals could be willing to part with a low-rent player who stunk for a while and then got really good and now they can’t afford him. That’s not entirely the case, but it’s close enough. According to ESPN’s Buster Olney, the Royals will “listen to [...]
According to ESPN’s Enrique Rojas, the San Francisco Giants are close to acquiring Jose Guillen from the Kansas City Royas. Guillen was designated for assignment last week by the team and is still owed $3 million for the rest of the year. “News: Royals and Giants close to complete Jose Guillen trade. If completed, Guillen [...]
ESPN’s Buster Olney reports that he’s heard that the Kansas City Royals are pushing hard to move outfielder/DH Jose Guillen. He says they’ll even eat some dough on him too. “Heard this: The Royals are really pushing to move Jose Guillen, and continue to tell teams they will eat a lot of dollars,” Olney tweets. [...]
The Kansas City Royals have signed catcher Jason Kendall to a two-year deal Thursday believed to be worth around $6 million. Kendall hit just .241, but caught a break when the catcher market suddenly ground to a halt because Pudge and Brian Schneider signed. “This baseball team,” Kendall said, “you’ve got a lot of young [...]
We have our 2009 American League Cy Young award winner and his name is Zack Greinke from the Kansas City Royals. Greinke started on a torrid pace and pitched well throughout the season despite getting just 16 wins. That’s what happens on a crappy team. His 16-8 record and 2.16 ERA were enough to beat [...]
