Though I confess that I already knew, but was sworn to secrecy, I’m excited to officially announce the signing of right-hander Jason Grilli to a minor league deal with a big-league invitation to spring training. Grilli will be given the opportunity to compete for a spot in the bullpen. If he makes the big league club, he’ll earn $800,000. Grilli, who has become a close friend and confidant...

A lot has been made in recent years about the 2003 season being the year that changed Cubs fans, but that is not true. That 2003 season was merely a point in time one can precisely point to, but it was not when the expectations of the fans were raised. That happened years earlier. Actually, I could make the argument that it happened in 1984, but by the mid-90s the fan base had settled back down to...

The Indians are not likely to deal Kerry Wood this winter, according to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. In order to trade the 32-year-old, Cleveland would have to eat a significant portion of his $10.5MM salary. Even then, Wood's value is not quite as high as it could be with the wide array of relievers available on the open market. The post suggests that the Indians would be better...

It is amazing how dates like this can sneak up on you when your expectations are nil. The Indians were semi-active last season in free agency. They went out and signed Mark DeRosa, Carl Pavano, and Kerry Wood. This season? Not so much. At this point, it is tough for me to even sit here [...]

One year after singing a true closer, it appears that the Indians could already be regretting the move. ESPN’s Buster Olney reports that Mark Shapiro and staff would entertain offers for their 32-year old flame thrower. Kerry Wood was given a two-year deal that could become three if certain criteria was met just a year ago. [...]

The Indians are willing to move Kerry Wood , who has one year remaining on his two-year, $20 million deal. Signing Wood made all the sense in the world for them a year ago, when it seemed the Indians might compete in the AL Central. But in the aftermath of the trades of Victor Martinez and Cliff Lee, Cleveland is in rebuilding mode and thus Wood is an expensive bauble. Given that there are so many...
