After an offseason of dancing around, Instagram trolling, and searching the market, Molina comes home on a one year deal for $9 [...]
Hydra’s main slogan is if you cut off one head, two more will rise to take its place. This week, the Cardinals did the reverse Hydra, bringing in one player and cutting ties with two more.

Back in 2002, I was a big Scott Rolen fan. His offense for the Phillies was great, especially back in those days when I was playing fantasy baseball, but his defense is something that struck me. Which, when you think about it, isn’t surprising. After all, I came to baseball in the late ’80s in [...]
