The 2004 Red Sox, fresh off their first franchise title in 86 years, decided to let big names go elsewhere in the offseason following their title. Pedro Martinez, Orlando Cabrera, Derek Lowe, there are a few others. What happened, they didn't win that year, or the year after. I hate making comparisons with the Red Sox, but the Yankees should learn from this. They should resign guys from this year that...

In 1965, Sandy Koufax started game 7 of the World Series. He had pitched in Game 2, not Game 1, because the opener fell on Yom Kippur and as a Jew he felt it would send a bad message to pitch on the Day of Atonement of his religion. He lost in Game 2, pitching six innings, allowing one earned run and striking out 9, then pitched a complete game shutout (4 H, 10 K) in Game 5 on three days' rest. Although...

Moving one of the two veterans would create the financial flexibility to allow the Braves to pursue a first baseman, a closer and, possibly, an outfielder. It's a "strong possibility" that Adam LaRoche, Mike Gonzalez and Rafael Soriano will...
