Blue Jays: Barring a trade, don’t expect any free agents hitters this winter
While the Blue Jays are expected to look at the pitching market this winter, I don’t think they’ll be very active in adding to their lineup, if at all. Over the last couple of seasons, September baseball really hasn’t been all that enjoyable in Toronto. After having been treated to back to back postseason appearances […] Blue Jays: Barring a trade, don’t expect any free agents hitters this winter - Jays Journal - Jays Journal - A Toronto Blue Jays Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

Royals Rumblings - News for October 18, 2018
It’s Thursday, so you know what time it is... Jeffrey Flanagan interviews the Royals’ top draft pick from 2018, Brady Singer: Favorite baseball movie? Singer: “For Love of the Game.” Absolutely. I always think of that part when he’s on the mound and the fans are getting on him and it’s loud, and he just says, ‘Clear the mechanism.’ And then it’s all quiet. I kind of still say that to myself when I’m out of the mound. Just clear all the noise from the stands and everywhere else and totally focus. Favorite movie, any genre? Singer: Well, to keep it PG, I’d still say...

NYY news: A-OK TJ for Didi
Didi’s Tommy John surgery went “as expected”; the Astros incorrectly accused the Yankees of cheating; CC wants Sonny Gray back in the rotation MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Didi Gregorius’ Tommy John surgery went “as expected” on Wednesday.

Thor’sLinks: Let’s Play Catch!
MLB wants more people playing baseball, until they do. Well, the Brewers went weird on me yesterday. They chose to start Wade Miley against Dodgers. But then, and just hours after burning through every arm on their staff, Craig Counsell pulled Miley after Miley walked the very first batter he faced, throwing only 5 pitches. And Counsell went right back to that burned out bullpen again, picking one of the only two guy who did not work the night before. This is so that he can start Miley again, in tomorrow’s Game 6. Milking his starters on the one hand, blowing up his bullpen on the other....

Spy games: MLB gives Astros intentional walk
Major League Baseball is relevant again.But it was not Jackie Bradley Jr.’s grand slam in Game 3 of the ALCS that has America once again buzzing about the Grand Old Game.Rather, it was an all-too familiar for Boston sports fans one-day cheating scandal that began with a report by Metro Boston’s Danny Picard and exploded into a conflagration spreading from Houston to Fenway Park to Cleveland and beyond. It ended — at least for now — with a Nixonian-style coverup. A man credentialed by the World Champion Houston Astros — henceforth to be known as the Asterisks — was monitoring the...
