That came out of nowhere. Congrats to the Pirates and their fans. He'll have plenty of years left on that deal when the young talent they've drafted the last few drafts starts arriving.

Good for the Pirates. Its nice to see them finally keep one of their own and not just be a farm team for NYY, BOS, etc.

McCutchen is a superstar in the making if he aint one already.

A couple Marlins players expressed concern that the spectacular HR feature in CF of Marlins Park may be an issue for left handed batters facing RHP. Gregg Dobbs went so far as to say if enough players complain they will request it be moved or removed. VP David Samson said it will absolutely not be an issue. Stay tuned!

Arencibia and Johnson were hilarious. I can't decide who was better.

........WTF Molina:

The catcher's representatives were actually prepared to ask for nearly double that, about $140 million over seven years, had he tested free agency, according to sources.

Chipper will miss the season opener due to knee surgery. Probably should have just retired now.

He's a good hitter when healthy, but he's never healthy. And he has become somewhat of a liability in the field.

Royals signed OF Alex Gordon to a four-year contract extension with a player option for 2016.

Exact terms aren't yet known, but the Royals have bought out his final two years of arbitration and his first two years of free agency.

Edit: 4 year/37.5 M, could be 50 M if the player option is used.
