Have a few pieces I would like to move out of the way. These guys could help someone out. I will be updating this periodically. Ragnar Lothbrok SP 50/50 He is in the last year of his contract, getting $1.4m this year. Ricardo Esparza CF/RF 45/45 Would love to keep him around, but he got about $1m in...

Mr. Diya al Din pushed out a sigh, and waved me towards the chair next to his desk. “What was that about?” I asked. “Nothing, really. Price of doing business, unfortunately.” I’ve seen enough mobster movies to recognize the transaction, but couldn’t settle in my mind whether I had witnessed bribery ...

The team has stepped into the lead in the Wild Card for the first time this season. It's less than we wanted, but its something. Mitch Dalrymple has been on a tear since he ALLEGEDLY woke up drunk ALLEGEDLY on the floor of a visiting team's locker room ALLEGEDLY on the morning after a night game. AL...

McBride made his first trade. Moved a ML benchwarmer for a low level pitcher. Was it a good deal? I don’t know. Maybe. Still, you’d have thought he had cured cancer. He poured champagne.

Bucharest confirms.

Shacklady is in our DFA.

They won over 100 games last year, and have a very strong farm system. Especially up the middle. We are short on pitching prospects, but as best I can tell, so is...

My dream job has always been to work in the front office a professional baseball team, having unprecedented access to players, operations and ownership. To be at the forefront of trades, signings, roster moves, personnel decisions. When I dreamed this dream, it was Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles....

This is some great work. Very interesting stuff. Thanks for putting the effort into getting it done.

Thank you, thank you.

Time to go to work.

I say call him Onions because . . . (wait for it) . . . he's probably going to make you cry.

Time will tell though. Maybe he steps up?

Fireshoeless.com must be some kinda company. ... Even the INTERNS have assistants?? LOL

Great article.

Clearly the team won a championship in SPITE of the former GM, not be because of him. That must be why they made a change. Right?

Good luck Dave.

Hey, thanks everyone. Looking forward to this!!
