Thank you for the 8 years of unpredictability, AJ. I'm sure there's a coaching position available if you choose to return after retirement. (Fun fact: Paul Konerko is now the lone remaining member of the 2005 Champion White Sox still with the team.) |

The Pittsburgh Pirates are signing Francisco Liriano to a 2-yr, $14 million contract.
Uh...yay? TIme to cross the fingers and hope for the best. Maybe we can cast a spell and make him like his 2010 self.
My favorite Twitter reactions:
@dtonpirates
Francisco Liriano is about as high beta signing as the #Pirates could have made this off-season. Baby needs a new pair of shoooooooes....
@pittpierogi
Pirates overpaying a starting pitcher that nobody else wants? Fitting way to go out I guess #mayans

It also opens up the bucs trading Joel Hanrahan for more offense or prospects. |

Liriano's only 29?!? He looks at least 40 and pitches like he's 50.
Probably could have had him at half of that if you waited, Pittsburgh. He wasn't going anywhere.

The Cubs have reportedly signed both Edwin Jackson and Carlos Villanueva. Jackson got 4y/52m, Villanueva got 2y/10m. I shake my head at the Cubs giving the weakest link of the Nationals pitching staff, that type of money. |

According to Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com, the White Sox are looking around for a left-handed hitter, and have again let teams know that Gavin Floyd is available.

According to Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com, the White Sox are looking around for a left-handed hitter, and have again let teams know that Gavin Floyd is available. As I mentioned before, Gavin isn't bad, just streaky. He'll win 5 or 6 in a row, then lose his next 8. He gets in funks. If he stays, Peavy can get him straightened out. Then again, Gavin's pretty much been "on the trading block" for a couple of years. If Hector Giminez can become the adequate back-up for Tyler Flowers, you got yourself a switch-hitting catcher! The Cubs have reportedly signed both Edwin Jackson and Carlos Villanueva. Jackson got 4y/52m, Villanueva got 2y/10m. I shake my head at the Cubs giving the weakest link of the Nationals pitching staff, that type of money. The Cubs will regret this come June. They also signed Nate Schierholtz to a one year $2.25M deal. |

The price for Pitching is skyrocketing so it's not a terrible deal for the cubs to give to Jackson. He gives them innings and he is a solid 3-4 pitcher.

It's not the money, it's the 4 years that's disturbing. I don't blame the pitchers, I blame the inept owners that just never learn you don't go longer than 3 years.

Apparently, according to USA Today's John Perrotto, the Pirates are looking to deal closer Joel Hanrahan and one of the potential suitors is Boston, in exchange for shortstop Jose Iglesias.
I cannot emphasize enough how badly I want this trade to happen. Jose Iglesias cannot and will not hit on the major-league level. He's got a slick glove but he has a wet noodle for a bat. And on top of everything else, he's a placeholder until Xander Bogaerts is ready in 2014.
EDIT: Cody Ross to Arizona for 3 years and $26 million, according to sources. Again, because it cannot be emphasized enough, THAT IS $13 MILLION LESS THAN WHAT THE RED SOX GAVE SHANE EFFING VICTORINO!!!

The Joel Hanrahan to the Red Sox trade is is almost done with Hanrahan and second player going to Boston for Jerry Sands, Stolmy Pimentel and two others going to Pittsburgh

ESPN's Jim Bowden reports that Nick Swisher is strongly considering signing with the Indians.
He wants to return but the Yanks have no interest in bringing him back

Well, Youk can fill that role once A-Rod gets back. But until then... yikes. Especially since we don't know WHEN A-Rod's getting back.
