Things are interesting at the shortstop position this season. While many experts view it as shallow because of how the position performed as a whole last year, using hindsight isn’t always helpful. When I look at this list, I see a group of guys that are capable of matching or exceeding their 2012 numbers...

How does a minor league baseball team plan to get all the guys to the yard this summer? Milkshakes, made with beer. You said baseball? Don't be dumb.

A Division III Baseball game got out of hand on Sunday after pitcher Levi Austin of Berry College mixed up his sports. This is baseball, not football or hockey. Collin Radack of Hendrix College thought he was going to easily score from third base after a wild pitch. What happened next is completely out of line and Austin is lucky he didn't receive a broken and beaten face.

Los Angeles Angels all-star outfielder Mike Trout had his contract renewed by the team for $510,000 per year on Saturday. That means the 2012 AL MVP runner-up will make just $20,000 above the major league minimum, which disappointed Trout and his agent, Craig Landis...

He hasn't pitched in a Major League Baseball game since 2010, but the Seattle Mariners were willing to give Jeremy Bonderman a shot to make their rotation. Today, he took the mound against the Los Angeles Angels in the teams fourth Spring Training game of the year. The 30-year-old right-hander gave up three runs on two hits, including a three run home run to catcher and Federal Way native Hank Con

Ever since Alex Rodriguez left for Texas in 2001, the Seattle Mariners have been a little thin at shortstop. Nick Franklin is trying to change that.

Hopefully, Josh Hamilton is planning on flying into Texas next time he plays there, because his bridges into Dallas-Fort Worth may now be burned. The former Texas Rangers outfielder, who signed a five-year $125 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim this off-season, told a Dallas-Fort Worth TV station that the DFW metropolitan area is "not a true baseball town...

Several years ago, author Ed Achorn visited the Baseball Hall of Fame and stumbled across what could possibly be the first known picture of a person giving the camera the finger. The ornery flipper turned out to be Charles "Old Hoss" Radbourn of the Boston Beaneaters, a precurser team of the Red Sox.

The King will be back in the building for the rest of the decade! Hopefully. According to the Seattle Mariners, the deal is not complete, but USA TODAY Sports is reporting that the Seattle Mariners and Felix Hernandez have agreed to a seven-year, $175 million contract, making him the highest-paid pitcher in baseball history.

With a new album in the works, a 3D film set to arrive in the summer, plans for a second Orion Festival and a headlining gig at Revolver’s Golden Gods Awards, Metallica have a busy 2013 ahead of them. And now the year got even more awesome with the announcement that the band will step up to the metal plate by performing the National Anthem and throwing out the first pitch at the San Francisco Gian

Spring training hasn't started yet, but Carl Pavano is already in mid-season form.

The Seattle Mariners announced earlier today that they will induct Ken Griffey Jr. into their Hall of Fame this August. The ceremony will take place before the game on August 10th against the Milwaukee Brewers.
