Confirming recent speculation, the Stars have relieved Joe Nieuwendyk of his GM duties.
His leave of absence for medical reasons will extend through the end of the season.
Jorge Soler is officially a free agent.
Does anyone know what happened to John Burnson? A couple of years ago he was publishing Heater Magazine and writing at The Hardball Times. He seems to have completely disappeared. I hope nothing bad happened.
With Felix slated to miss at least a couple of week (let's hope it's just a couple) with his high ankle sprain, I'm hoping that JG and crew will give Phillip Tanner some prime time touches at RB. I...
An anonymous "baseball source" claims that the Rangers will throw a "boatload of money" at Sabathia if he opts out of his contract.
The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History has their antlers up for the Rangers!
He really has Dutch Oven on his glove! Screen cap credit to Rich Anderson.
Per Baseball America's Twitter feed, the Rangers' High A affiliate is moving across the country to Myrtle Beach. Goodbye Cal League, hello Carolina League!
This is the only confirmation I've found, but it's pretty spare of details. Would love to see confirmation on Ragira and Davis, too, but I don't think those guys are going to sign.
Interesting. Rangers reportedly offered their top three prospects for Josh Johnson. Ballsy sons of bitches.

No one is happier than I am that it's getting easier than ever to grab Pitch f/x data; when we see the result of pitching performances visualized it can at least let us know what it looks like when...
Here's a link to a Flickr photo set of pictures I took at the Indians game yesterday afternoon.

Our bullpen is gassed. We need some disposable arms for the stretch. I've peered into the crystal ball that is the New York Post and found the answer: Hideki Irabu. Seems as though he could use...
For those non-medheads out there in the audience, when a pitcher takes his MRI results to Birmingham, Alabama, it's to go see Dr. James Andrews. Per ESPN: ARLINGTON, Texas -- New York Yankees...
G/F Josh Childress signed a 3 year $20 million dollar deal with Greek team Olympiakos today, bolting the Atlanta Hawks for the Euroleague. Childress' deal sounds sweet...3 years, $20 million after...
Last night my friend Rich and I ventured across to Dr. Pepper Ballpark to see Neftali Feliz pitch against the Arkansas Travelers. Coincidence that the Angels' Texas League affiliate is in town at...
Since the Phightin' Phils were just in town and there was some good vitriol directed at Brett Myers here on LSB, I thought it would be relevant to share this: If you've had a bad day, then maybe...
This fanpost started out last night as a "it's all Mark Connor's fault that Joaquin Benoit is on the skids this season" rant. I admit up front I don't like Mark Connor; I think he's a lousy...
Warriors' PG Baron Davis and the Warriors management are apparently pretty far apart on the details of his contract extension. How far? Apparently far enough that Davis is considering opting out of...
The Liverpool mess just keeps escalating from one level of meltdown to the next. From feuding with the fans to feuding with Liverpool's business manager, Tom is now feuding with fellow owner George...
