Rumors flying everywhere, deals going down — some surprises, some not so stunning — and lots of movement all over baseball. It’s easy to forget the dealing isn’t done, though.

Coming off the best season of his career, the two-time World Series champion will remain with the Giants, where he led the team in home runs last year with 23 bombs. He also finished the season with a career-high batting average, hitting .274. While that is merely a solid number, not an elite one, Pederson had never hit above .249 in his career before last year. There is room for optimism that he will be able to maintain or even improve upon that number as the MLB will enforce restrictions on defensive shifts, something that has plagued the pull-heavy left fielder for the bulk of his career....

It was on this day in 2005 that the Astros — then in the National League — and Braves played an 18-inning marathon in Game 4 of the NLDS, with utility player Chris Burke finally ending things with a walk-off homer to send the ‘Stros to the next round. Let’s remember: And now, the rest of the story. That ending was made possible by an improbable previous 17 innings. The Braves, trailing in the series 2-1, had jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the third inning, thanks to a grand slam from Adam LaRoche, and eventually led 6-1 going to the bottom of the eighth....

There is no doubting how good Miller was in posting a WHIP of 0.802 with 103 strikeouts in 62.1 innings this year between Boston and Baltimore, nor can enough be said about how deftly Robertson handled the job of taking over the closer’s job with the Yankees after Mariano Rivera retired, with 96 strikeouts and a 1.057 WHIP in 64.1 innings.
