Great to be back after spending the past week and a half in Costa Rica. As usual, it seems like I didn't miss too much. Ken Griffey Jr. is back another year, I see. Sounds like an astute move to me. I also think the Dallas Cowboys are going to go places with that quarterback of theirs. I mean, what's not to like about Troy Aikman? Besides, that Emmitt Smith dude is one tough running back.

Time once again for a look back at the highlights from the past seven days here at MLBTR. Let's take a look: The Mariners inked Jack Wilson to a two-year, $10MM deal this week. Wilson's glove alone is worth that money; Jack Zduriencik is putting together a terrific defensive team. For what it's worth, Wilson seems to absolutely love it in Seattle. The Mariners also reached an agreement this week with...

When Ken Griffey Jr. plays his first game in 2010, he will join a fairly exclusive club -- those players who have appeared in four different decades. Griffey broke into the majors in 1989 and then played in the 1990s, the "aughts", and now will be in the '10s (or whatever this coming decade will be called).

(Photo by Elaine Thompson, AP Photos) Ken Griffey Jr. announced yesterday that he will be returning to the Seattle Mariners for another season. Although Griffey will never surpass Hank Aaron as many thought he would, he still has a chance to move past Willie Mays' 660 home runs for No. 4 overall. Ken needs only 30 more to tie the Say Hey Kid, but he'll need to have a better season than last year if...

Jason Varitek’s hot bat early in the season appeared to justify the 2-year contract the Red Sox handed him in the offseason. However, his production has nosedived late this year. Since the acquisition of star catcher Victor Martinez, Varitek has hit just .134 while striking out one out of every three at-bats. Many wondered whether the Martinez acquisition would affect the playing time of third...

The rumors began last weekend in part because the surprising Tampa Bay Rays started Friday night’s game with a 43-29 record, putting them in second place in the American League East, a game and a half behind the Boston Red Sox. When asked about the trade Griffey succeeded in disguising
