More PED suspensions coming, apparently...

Happy Lee Elia Day, everyone.

What was that "slingshot-into-backcracker-submission" called that Gene did against Orndorff? Haven't seen that one before...

All-Star Game voting begins today at 12 noon ET. You can still vote a maximum of 35 times, but only up to 5 times in any 24-hour period.

I imagine that Sandoval becomes the DH next season post-Ortiz, assuming the Red Sox don't trade/release him?

I imagine this thread will close soon....it's been an entertaining Spring! Jimmy Rollins won the starting shortstop job with the White Sox, though will share time on the job. Andrew Miller has a chip fracture in his right wrist. John Schuerholz is going into quasi-retirement and becoming Vice-Chairman of the Braves.

It's the perfect book for a glass table.

Austin Jackson to the White Sox; one year, $5 million.

Aroldis Chapman will be suspended for 30 games w/o pay, and has agreed not to appeal the decision.

Rangers will be signing Ian Desmond, one year, $8 million.

New rules for the coming season were announced: - 30-second visits to the pitcher’s mound by managers and pitching coaches "Slides on potential double plays will require runners to make a bona fide attempt to reach and remain on the base. Runners may still initiate contact with the fielder as a consequence of an otherwise permissible slide. A runner will be specifically prohibited from changing his pathway to the base or utilizing a “roll block” for the purpose of initiating contact with the fielder. Potential violations of Rule 6.01(j) will be reviewable using instant replay. Also reviewable will be “neighborhood play” calls, which previously were exempted from replay review."

Enjoy your lifetime suspension from baseball, Jenrry Mejia... idiot.

Yankees prospect Greg Bird is getting surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder and will miss the 2016 season.

It was a really terrible plan. Use new entrance music so he gets a lessened pop, have him dominated for much of the match (unlike most of his previous year where he was ass-kicker dominant), etc.

Brett Lawrie to the White Sox seems to be happening.

Except then you have to question the care a manager had to the health of his pitching staff if he absolutely needed to cover a bet by winning by a certain amount of runs.

I'm more partial to the efficient power of Jersey Joe Walcott knockdowns, whether on the giving or receiving end.

It's such a shocking, thudding sound.

I still want to know how the hell Holmes got up from the knockdown in the 7th round of the second Shavers fight.

Lemme try a prediction: Bracket A Reigns beats Big Show clean Sheamus beats Cesaro via interference from Barrett Reigns beats Sheamus clean Bracket B Del Rio beats Stardust clean Kalisto beats Ryback via slippetydippety rollup; Ryback snaps and injures Kalisto.

Dusty is officially named the Nats manager; two years is the rumor but not announced ("multi-year deal").

If the Cubs and White Sox could stop hating each other, what about Schwarber and Castro for Jose Quintana and Adam Eaton?

Barry Zito has officially retired.

It's 107 for the Cubs, no?
