Alex Rodriguez told ESPN's Andrew Marchand that he will retire when his contract expires in 2017.

There is a god

Carlos Marmol - R - Red Sox
Red Sox released RHP Carlos Marmol.

Marmol issued seven walks in four innings this spring in Grapefruit League play. The veteran right-hander is probably finished as a reliable major league pitcher. That could have been said a couple years ago, really.

33 mil for AAA player

Red Sox reassigned 1B/OF Allen Craig to minor league camp.

Craig showed a little bit of life this spring in the Grapefruit League, but not enough to earn his way back onto Boston's active roster. The former All-Star hasn't been the same since suffering a Lisfranc injury in late 2013

Steven Wright looks like he's the 5th starter for the time being.


"I put instant coffee in the microwave. I almost went back in time."


"On the other hand. . . you have different fingers."


"I spilled spot remover on my dog. Now he's gone."


"What's another word for Thesaurus?"

Todays "Fuck Joe Girardi" Rant:

Brian Mitchell has had a terrific spring, but for some reason he is "Fighting for a roster spot" while the awful Ivan Nova is locked onto the roster? Why this kid wasnt in the 5th starter conversation is beyond me

Rob Refsnyder is sent down because he could hit, and Girardi only loves defense, so Pete F**** Kozma, this seasons Brendan Ryan, makes the roster

Same thing with Gary Sanchez going down, so the stickless Austin Romine can make the roster


Fuck Joe Girardi

Nova isn't really the problem, it's CC who's still in line to have a rotation spot, right?

Well if you believe what they say, Nova was given every opportunity to win the 5th spot, but he has been what he is, brutal........We know CC's salary will keep him in a relevant role, but Nova isnt really getting paid, so I would think Mitchell should be given every chance that Nova is....Mitchell was pretty good last season in the spots they put him in, until he took a line drive off his face, and he has been great this spring

Well, it could be worse. You could have a typically hurt, occasionally effective, always inconsistent, guy as your #2 like a certain other northeast team.

I think Eduardo Rodriguez becomes their second best starter and could be one of the biggest keys in the AL East before this season is out

Price will be Price....Id expect Porcello to be better, but still a low ceiling and up and down...Kelly also, a lot of the same........Bucholz will be good for as long as he is out there, god knows how long that is

But Rodriguez i think has a really high ceiling, and if he comes back and reaches that legit #2 status, that could change the entire look of that team IMO

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

And as an added Bonus, I drafted Eduardo Rodriguez

And Betts

And JBJ

And Papi

I still have hopes for Kelly, but this trade has turned out to be one of the bigger fleecings of the last half decade. Lackey is partially to blame with his dickish threats to retire, but the real insult to injury is that Corey Littrell, pitching prospect the Sox also threw in, is supposed to be pretty good and improving.

Giving prospects to the Cardinals will always come back to haunt ya

Just one of those organizations that always seems to get the best out of these guys

Bet hes grinning all the way to the bank

Braves released 1B Nick Swisher.

They tried desperately to trade him but found no takers and will now bite the bullet that is his ridiculous $15 million salary for 2016. It should be noted that the Indians are covering $5 million of that. Swisher, 35, batted just .196/.312/.320 with six home runs and 25 RBI in 76 games last season between Cleveland and Atlanta.
