The tortured Scott Boras puns have become fun at this point, haven’t they? We expect them from the super-agent at any of these national baseball gatherings, and he delivers the two-parts corny, one-part clever zingers while holding court with the media.
And, occasionally, he mixes in some actually useful info.
Boras spoke today at the GM Meetings in Las Vegas, and I’ll start with the useful info: Boras said that Japanese ace Tatsuya Imai will be posted November 19, starting his 45-da...

The hit by Luis Salazar that won this day’s game might have been the single play that cemented the NL East title for the Cubs in 1989. To understand that statement, a little context is needed. Salazar had been acquired in trade just 10 days earlier from the Padres. It was just his ninth game […]

MLB Rumors — Man, the GM Meetings are absolutely ripping with MLB rumors this year. Much more than usual. That doesn’t mean there’ll be a ton of early movement (I think it’ll just be a normal offseason in that respect). But I had about 50 tabs open this morning with reports and rumors out of Las Vegas.
For your convenience, I’ve collected some of the highlights from those stories, alongside my own perspective, below. Let’s dive in!
