Richie Sexson has had an interesting ride in 2008. While with the Seattle Mariners, Sexson struggled to swing the bat — hitting .218 in 74 games with the Mariners. Along the way, Sexson threw his helmet at a pitcher and started a brawl. For his effort, he was suspended and subsequently waived […]
The Philadelphia Phillies had a major need for a starting pitcher. The Oakland A’s seem to be rebuilding once again. When those two opposing forces met, it resulted in the A’s trading starting pitcher Joe Blanton to the Phillies for three minor leaguers.

The Florida Marlins run a bargain basement operation. With a total team payroll less than what Alex Rodriguez will make this year with the New York Yankees, it’s a bit surprising to hear the news that the Marlins and Hanley Ramirez have agreed a six-year, $70M extension.
