With just under three months until Opening Day, MLB fans are starting to feel the buzz. Free agents have signed, trades have been completed, and rosters are starting to take shape. Fans have already started to squabble over starting rotations, batting lineups, and which pitchers deserve to start on Opening Day. In a recent tweet by MLB Network,…

What was the Evil Empire before Darth Vader? Sure, they were lurking in the shadows with Senator Palpatine pulling all of the strings. But it was not until he turned Anakin Skywalker to the Dark Side that Palpatine was able to show his true nature to take over the galaxy and rule it with an iron fist. This is exactly what we just saw play out in…

Carlos Correa was a San Francisco Giant in the same manner that Alex Rodriguez once was a Boston Red Sox, in handshake form only, one industry-rattling deal collapsing only to give way to another, and a superteam resulting because of it. Two decades after the game's preeminent superstar shortstop saw his transfer to Boston nixed, it happened again,…

Carlos Correa bet on himself last season when he signed what turned out to be a one-year deal with the Twins. He was right to want to test the free agent market again, because the Giants are now betting three times the Arizona Diamondbacks' entire 2022 payroll that Correa is the man it needs in the middle of its lineup for the next decade-plus. And…

Carlos Correa bet on himself a year ago, and on Tuesday night, he won big. The 28-year-old shortstop agreed to a massive 13-year, $350 million contract with the Giants, a source confirmed to NBC Sports Bay Area's Alex Pavlovic. Correa's pact with the Giants comes 13 months after he passed on a five-year, $160 million contract offer to stay with the…

NEW YORK - Shortly before breaking camp, heading north for the beginning of the regular season, Yankees manager Aaron Boone made a resounding assessment of his ball club. "I think we're a better team right now than we were at any points of last year," Boone said. "[We're] a more complete team." Many scoffed at the notion that New York-a team that…

If you're starting to get bored with the offseason, fear not. The Winter Meetings are almost here. The annual poorly entitled (it's still fall, folks) GM swap meet will start this coming Sunday in sunny San Diego (the least wintery place in America). Baseball is flush with cash. And confidence since the new CBA was ratified last spring. There's…

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Phillies are no stranger to making headlines in free agency. Coming two wins shy from winning the World Series, it likely won't be a quiet winter in Philadelphia. The middle infield is the one non-pitching area of need, and it happens to be a shortstop-rich market. Bryson Stott proved capable of being an everyday player…

Don't overlook the 2022 Oakland A's. The rebuilding A's completed a series victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday, beating them 6-3 for their third win in four days at Tropicana Field. How well Oakland fares over the marathon of the next six months remains to be seen, but they're making some noise in the early going. One week into the season…

The New York Yankees re-signed their slugging first baseman on Tuesday, giving him a deal which could max out at three years and $51 million. And the move comes with Mike Francesa's seal of approval. Consider what Numbah One posted on following news of the deal: "Great to see Rizzo back. He is a Yankee." BUY YANKEES TICKETS: STUBHUB, VIVID…

The 2022 MLB season is over, and the Astros have been crowned World Series champions. Now, the only thing left to hand out is the hardware for the top players and managers. This year, the awards could carry some extra significance for a few players in particular. AL MVP finalist Aaron Judge and AL Cy Young finalist Justin Verlander are both free…

WFAN | Ryan Chichester: The lead story comes from an old friend, as Ryan relays a report from Jon Heyman stating that the Yankees are willing to top Aaron Judge's preseason ask of $36 million per year. The two sides could not reach an agreement over the spring with the Yankees offering seven years, $213.5 million for a total of eight years, $230.5…

Carlos Correa made two very interesting decisions over the past 12 months. The first was to leave the high-flying Houston Astros to sign with the middle-tier, struggling Minnesota Twins. The second decision was to opt out of his newly signed deal with the Twins after just one season. The two-time All-Star will be a highly sought-after prospect in…

Welcome to the real October. The World Series begins on Friday, October 28 in Houston, where the first two games will be played, then three in Philadelphia, then the final two games (if necessary) back in Houston. The 2022 World Series is set between the Houston Astros and the Philadelphia Phillies. Both teams had incredible seasons, but had…
