Indians Close to a Deal with Austin Kearns?

The Cleveland Indians may be about to pull a surprise free agent signing. A Progressive Field employee said he saw free agent and former Indian Austin Kearns talking to “some of the Indians higher ups” when he arrived for work at 9:30 a.m. yesterday. “He spent a bit of time with the training staff,” said [...]

Could the Cleveland Indians Trade for Josh Willingham?

It hasn’t taken long for the burners on baseball’s annual offseason hot stove to reach full flame. We’ve seen Dan Uggla dealt. We’ve seen Justin Upton hit the trading block. And, as always, we’ve seen rumors about the availability of Josh Willingham. The Nationals have been shopping Willingham on and off for a year and [...]

Cubs Interested In Gordon Beckham?

There’s an article surfing around bleacher report, suggesting the Chicago Cubs can potentially trade for their cross town rivals 2nd basemen, Gordon Beckham. I’m having a hard time collecting my emotions right now…give me a couple minutes. Okay…I’m ready to proceed. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I mean really. Let’s just throw out…”The Chicago Cubs are [...]

…or not: Dan Uggla Traded to Atlanta Braves

Earlier today, I wrote a post suggesting the Cleveland Indians try to trade for second baseman Dan Uggla, who the Florida Marlins were aggressively shopping after contract extension talks between him and the team hit an impasse. I guess Chris Antonetti didn’t read it in time. This afternoon, the Fish shipped Uggla to the Atlanta [...]

Is Justin Upton On the Move?

In a USA Today article, Bob Nightengale listed Justin Upton among several players who have come up in trade discussions.  Now, I understand that popular opinion is that nobody on a team is 100% untouchable, but it still puzzles me that the Diamondbacks would give the impression that Upton is available.  He did regress in [...]

Should the Cleveland Indians Trade for Dan Uggla?

When Chris Antonetti took over as the Cleveland Indians’ GM last month, he made it clear that acquiring a third baseman was one of his top priorities for the 2011 season. But with Jared Goedert and Lonnie Chisenhall waiting in the wings, it doesn’t make sense to go after an elite third baseman like Adrian [...]

If All Else Fails: Chicago Cubs Should Take Hard Look at Erik Bedard

I keep saying it. The Chicago Cubs need starting pitching. I have no idea where they’re going to end up looking for it, but if this team is relying on someone like Randy Wells…the Cubs are going to have some trouble next year. Sure- I love Chris Archer. I think he’s going to be a [...]

Bears Headquarters and Vikings Post: Q & A, Part 1

Jonathan Carroll of Rant Sports’ Bears Headquarters and I took the time to ask each other a couple of questions about the upcoming Bears-Vikings game. Make sure to check out Bears Headquarters for more game previews and predictions. Here are Jonathan’s questions for me, and my answers: JC: What the heck is going on with [...]

Could the Cleveland Indians Trade Travis Hafner?

In yesterday’s post, I argued that the Indians should open their surprisingly large coffers to sign Adam Dunn. In retrospect, I realized that I hadn’t explained myself fully—the idea of signing an expensive slugger who can’t play defense may have seemed a bit puzzling given that we already have an expensive slugger who can’t play [...]

Today, I begin my quest to examine every possibly fitting free agent’s chances of suiting up with the Tribe next summer. First up is Adam Dunn.
