Olney: Buyers or sellers? These five teams need to decide now

The Twins promptly went on a mini-losing streak and by July 30 — just six days later — Minnesota was seven games out of first place. Immediately, the Twins became sellers, flipping Garcia to the Yankees after only one start. But down the stretch, the Twins’ offense exploded, and Minnesota boat-raced its way into a […]

Pirates acquire J.A. Happ, ‘directly influenced’ by A.J. Burnett elbow injury

The Pirates acquired veteran left-hander J.A. Happ from Seattle on Friday as a stopgap — and possibly more — after Burnett complained of elbow pain and was placed on the 15-day disabled list with inflammation following his third straight bumpy outing. Pittsburgh also picked up infielder Michael Morse from the Dodgers, hoping Morse’s proven right-handed […]

Way-too-early World Series preview: Who can beat the Dodgers?

While the top six are the same, their order has shuffled quite a bit. And no team’s aspirations have been more validated than those of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who currently have about a 1-in-3 shot at winning it all by these figures. That’s about as good as you’re going to do in the random […]

Yanks acquire SS Didi Gregorius

The Yankees on Friday announced that they have acquired Gregorius from the Diamondbacks in a three-team trade that also involves the Tigers. Right-handed pitcher Shane Greene was traded from the Yankees to Detroit, while Arizona received left-hander Robbie Ray and minor league infielder Domingo Leyba from the Tigers. Gregorius hit .226 with six homers and […]

DFS Roundtable: When to take the highest-salary pitcher

Derek Carty, Renee Miller, Todd Zola and Joe Kaiser answered those questions and more in our first MLB roundtable discussion. Note: This was conducted before games on Tuesday, August 4. Carty: Let’s start with the basics and go from there. Because pitchers score more points than hitters and because you only get two of them, […]

Bryce Harper suspended 1 game for confronting umpire

Washington Nationals star Bryce Harper has been suspended for one game and fined an undisclosed sum for confronting an umpire following his ejection from Monday night’s 5-4 win over the Detroit Tigers. Harper, the reigning National League MVP, has elected to file an appeal and was in the lineup and batted third for Wednesday night’s […]

Defending my second-half rankings

In every relationship, there comes a time when it makes sense to take a step back from things and honestly assess where things stand. And for fantasy baseball owners, the four days of inaction that accompany the All-Star break was a perfect time to figure out exactly how you feel about your current lineup of […]

The All-2017 fantasy team

For a second consecutive season, youngsters have dominated the fantasy baseball landscape. A quick glance at our Player Rater shows that five of the top 18 players are under the age of 25, significant in that the popular belief is that a player’s prime tends to reside somewhere between the ages of 25 and 30. […]

Price focused on Tigers, not contract

But if that’s something that America’s most inquisitive media minds feel we need to ask him about every 10 minutes, that’s our issue, not his. “Honestly, I haven’t put a whole lot of thought to [free agency],” Price said this week, leaning comfortably on a picnic table outside the Tigers’ clubhouse at Joker Marchant Stadium. […]

Fielder up, Kinsler down after deal

OK, so technically it’s not yet winter — that won’t arrive for another 31 days — and Wednesday’s pending swap between the Detroit Tigers and Texas Rangers was influenced as much by monetary as talent concerns — we’ll now await word of just how much cash the Tigers are sending the Rangers — but there’s […]
