Mlb Fans Pleased By Report That Boston Red Sox Signed Raimel Tapia To Minor League Deal Blue Jays Legend

Tapia spent six of his first seven years with the Colorado Rockies before joining the Toronto Blue Jays last season. Tapia has struggled to find a home where he can contribute at a high level, even after so many years with the Rockies. The Red Sox will hope to unlock that potential in 2023 if he makes it up to the majors. MLB fans believe the former Blue Jays outfielder, who became a bit of a fan favorite, deserved better than being signed to a minor league deal....

Mlb Free Agency Don T Discount Stephen Drew Staying With Red Sox

A free agent, Drew, 30, rejected a one-year, $14.1 million qualifying offer. He's seeking a multi-year contract, likely three or four years, through handler Scott Boras. Teams have been reluctant to reach an accord for Drew's services. While his defense and his regular-season hitting were good, his postseason plate performance was lousy. General managers would have to play hardball with Boras for a player they might see as overpriced. There are rational notions behind re-signing Drew, the Boston Herald notes....

Mlb Gets It Wrong Again With Change To Intentional Walk Rule

The announcement Tuesday that intentional walks will no longer require actual pitches being thrown is the latest miscue. Beginning this season, hitters will be told to “Take your base” or something to that effect when they get near the batter’s box. Just like that, they’ll make their way to first base. It’s all in the name of shaving seconds off the times of games, you know. And yes, we are talking seconds....
