Dye never ended up being moved but now he's a free agent after the White Sox decided to not pick-up his option ( source Metsblog) . At 35 y/o the right hander, has struggled through injuries and doesn't play the field very well. He has hit .250 two of the last four years but still produces 27 or more home runs....

More photos » by Elise Amendola - AP Browse more photos » And hard, that out of hell leads up to light ." That's how it felt in 2001 and 2004. The way those seasons ended were the equivalent of baseball hell. An error and bloop single in the ninth inning of game seven in 2001... and of course the (in)famous and unprecedented collapse in 2004. Because of those tragedies, the recently...

Have a good weekend everyone. I'm taking a little off-season weekend break. Enjoy the links. Meet the Mets Metsblog reports that Carlos Delgado, Brian Schneider, and Gary Sheffield will be Type B free agents during this offseason. That JJ Putz trade didn't work out so well long-term or short. He could still remain valuable to the Mets as a jersey designer though. Metsradamus is already worried that...

Double-A Erie manager (and former Tigers third baseman) Tom Brookens says he'd be interested in a major league coaching job if one was offered. Will the Tigers offer him the first base coach position vacated by Andy Van Slyke ? Clete Thomas had his high school jersey retired on Wednesday. Thomas wore No. 3 at Mosley High School in Lynn Haven, FL. (I'm sure Gary Sheffield would've given that up willingly.)...

Let's take a quick look back at some of the players from 2001-2008 that never got to lift up a World Series trophy with the Yankees.Mike Mussina (2001-2008)The man is sandwiched between World Series victories. Is there anything worse? He's a borderline Hall of Famer (I don't think he gets in) and he left after his first and only 20 win season. His departure, in part, led the Yankees to bring in CC...

Carlos Delgado, Brian Schneider, and Gary Sheffield have been categorized as Type B Free Agents by Elias. …in other words, if the Mets offer salary arbitration to any of these three players, and if they decline it and sign with a new team, the Mets will be rewarded one additional draft pick for each player in the ‘Sandwich [...]

What would be a worse gift idea for a Detroit Tigers fan this holiday season? An Edgar Renteria bobblehead or a Gary Sheffield bobblehead? (I'm kind of impressed by the Sheff bobblehead's likeness. Usually, these things look nothing like the actual person.) What, no Todd Jones bobblehead? Maybe a Jacque Jones model on super-clearance? These are among the offerings available through MLB.com " Gift...

I used to play that game all the time when I was a kid. Baseball affords a different way to play, instead of appearing with, you can play six degrees by who was traded for whom. It's kinda neat to see the way in which past Dodgers have turned into current Dodgers. For example, did you know that there is a direct link between Mike Piazza and Andre Ethier ? Well, neither did I. So Mike Piazza was drafted...

Yeah, I'm just not seeing it... View full size photo uploaded October 23, 2009 The 2009 ALCS and 2004 ALCS are practically mirror images of each other. Indistinguishable. Talk about carbon copies! I haven't seen this level of uncanny similarity since watching Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes in White Men Can't Jump. Yeah, that's about how alike these two series are. If I have to read one more thinly...

Time to bust out the FJM format again, this time on a Newsday columnist that I think is just trying to write something preposterous . Thursday, the Yankees were one victory away away from a triumphant return to the World Series. Friday, they are two losses removed from the worst postseason collapse in their history. Yes, this would be worse than coughing up a 3-0 lead to the Red Sox in 2004. Well now...

Joe Girardi's bizarre bullpen move in the 11th inning tonight reminded me of something that Jerry Manuel did way back in April. On April 29, the Mets were trailing the Marlins, 4-3, when they loaded the bases with two outs in the bottome of the ninth. Ramon Castro was coming up. Then Jerry Manuel pinch-hit Omir Santos for Castro. A righthanded catcher pinch-hitting for another righthanded catcher....

Since the Yankees and Angels clinched and confirmed their date in the 2009 ALCS all I’ve heard about what a great team the Angels are. People are entitled to their opinions so I can’t bash anyone for that, but it did get me thinking about the Yankee teams that previously faced the Angels. In 2002 and 2005 the Yankees faced the Angels in the ALDS and both times were unfortunately bounced...

Another October of post season baseball is here and once again the New York Yankees and Alex Rodriguez are involved. A-Rod and his woeful post-season stats were once again the talk of the town around most office water coolers as well as in NYC where its all about what have you done for me lately. After receiving an email from a co-worker of mine last week detailing A-Rod's post-season failures, I responded...

I don't know if I've told you guys this but I've only really been a serious Yankees fan for a few years now. My fandom can really be traced back to one game, one very similar to last night's. In 2004 the Yankees also faced the Minnesota Twin in the ALDS and went into the Metrodome to win the clincher. With some heroics from Alex Rodriguez, they took the game and were headed to the ALCS to take on the...
