Pretty touching tribute from Shaughnessy.

In Nick Cafardo, we lost a great teammate with a great heart - The Boston Globe

Jeff Sullivan is leaving Fangraphs to work for the Rays. Awesome hire.

I wouldn't argue. He's hit .255/.368/.470 with a 123 OPS+ and has been worth over 8 WAR the last 2 years despite playing only 225 games. He's a very solid player. And all it took to get him was J.R. Murphy.

Yankees open spring the same way they ended last season ... talking about the Red Sox

Yankees start the baseball season by losing to the Red Sox!

Extremely sad news. Scary to think that is was so sudden. Makes you really stop and think about your own health. R.I.P.!

Hicks signs 7 year (!) $70M extension.

$10M AAV is a steal, but was no one watching Florial yesterday?

Absolutely crushed. Love that hop of his when he knows he got into one.

Who's the odd man out now? Someone will get moved......

Not in the OF I don't think, to start the season will be Gardner/Hicks/Judge, with Stanton making a few starts each week in LF.

But, it looks like they're gonna be carrying so many pitchers there's no way Bird and Voit both make the team.

$70M for Hicks is awesome. He'll probably be worth it in the first 4-5 years, if that.

Nice debut for Tulo.

“As far as signings are concerned I would say we’re through at this point,” Dombrowski said when asked about his bullpen. Dombrowski wouldn’t expressly rule out the possibility of changing course if something in Spring Training necessitated an addition, but he added that at the moment, the Sox “don’t have anything going on outside the organization.”


Terrific news!
