Jim Thome is once again a member of the Philadelphia Phillies. It is not a surprising move, but it is an interesting one.

Thome has maintained a strong relationship with Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, who has been a big influe...

In Michael Cuddyer's 11th season with the Twins he was voted as their lone All-Star selection.

TRADING DEADLINE APPROACHES
Posted on 20 Jun 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
The MLB Trading Deadline is July 31. Historically speaking, this is the time of year when teams who have fallen out of contention try to “sell off” their big contract veterans by trading them to contenders. An especially interesting wrinkle is the caveat that most shrewd baseball General Managers try to exchange well-paid veterans on expiring contracts for minimum salary blue chip prospect...
