Hello and welcome to today's MLB Rumor Mill! I haven't done a rumor mill for Major League Baseball in a couple of days, so now here is one today! Is there a possibility that Houston Astros pitcher Roy Oswalt could go to the New York Yankees or Washington Nationals? It could be possible. More on that and other rumors on today's rumor mill for the MLB! So sit back, relax, and ...

With the Boston Red Sox outfield decimated by injury, General Manager Theo Epstein and Manager Terry Francona looked to the Sox farm system for some short-term help this weekend. Ready when opportunity knocked, OF Daniel Nava has hit .294 with an .856 OPS for the 2010 Pawtucket Red Sox, and on Saturday those numbers earned him a call to The Show. After J.D. Drew hooked a homer off Joe Blanton around the Pesky Pole ...

  A pair of starting pitchers found their way onto the disabled list this afternoon: According to Jeff Wilson of the Dallas Morning News, the Texas Rangers have placed Rich Harden on the DL due to "a strained left gluteus muscle." There is currently no word as to who will replace him in the rotation as Alexi Ogando has been recalled to fill his spot on the roster. Ogando has been impressive, posting a ...

If you’re reading these words, chances are—like me—you’re a baseball lover.   You may be a proponent of the designated hitter rule (I’m not), you may enjoy high-scoring four-hour marathons (I prefer low-scoring pitching duels that are played in under two-and-a-half hours), and you may think Ruth the greatest player of all time (I could give you a half-dozen reasons why Cobb is).   But I’d wager that what draws us both to this ...

Here is your Week 10 fantasy stock report, as we take a look at some of the risers and fallers in the fantasy baseball stock market and what you should do with them if you have them or want them.   Whose Stock Is Up: Marlon Byrd (15-for-29, 8 R, 2 HR, 6 RBI): He got off to a red hot start this year and was owned in every league by the end ...

All the talk before the season started was that the Red Sox pitching would have to be fantastic in order for the Red Sox to win a title. The talk at the end of May was that the Red Sox needed to trade David Ortiz. Both of these have been disproven since, as the Red Sox enter the middle of June with one of the best offenses in the league. Here are the ...

Alex Rodriguez came out of Thursday night's game with a sore groin. He is not in Friday's lineup either. He was to meet with New York Yankee doctor Dr. Christopher Ahmad Friday, and will like to see his hip specialist, Dr. Marc Philippon. First, I do not believe that Alex' groin is going to be a big issue. He said there was discomfort, but no pain. But, what if Alex' tight groin is ...

At this point of the season, we can safely say that the 24-36 Indians are not going to have a myriad of talent making the American League All-Star team. Luckily for them though, MLB rules require that at least one representative from each team be part of the roster. In the case of some teams, the choice is easy. The Pirates will have Andrew McCutchen, and the Royals will have Jose ...

Surprise! Pete Rose is back in the news. Apparently, there is a collector who has x-rayed one of Rose's old bats. He has discovered that the bat has something in it that may be cork or a similar substance. He even has some evidence that the bat was used in a game. This is not really news, as a 2001 Vanity Fair article made the same allegations. Here is why we ...

As a fan, I try not to be too harsh on players when they speak their mind. After all, don't we as fans want to hear the truth? But in the case of Jake Peavy and his feelings about sticking with the White Sox through a rebuilding phase, I'd rather he kept them to himself. On Thursday, Peavy was asked about the position the Sox are currently in and the possibility that some ...
