MLBTradeRumors just confirmed as THE site that front office people in baseball all go to.

Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos just confirmed that. Said that he(along with probably every other front office person) regularly visits it.

This Braves outfield is one of the most dynamic trio's I have ever seen. These guys can all hit, hit for power, run, and catch the ball. I know people rave about the Angels outfield, but Hamilton is overrated and old. All these guys in Atlanta are 28 or younger.

The DBacks want to flip the shortstop Ahmed they just got for Porcello. That would be a good move for the Tigers.

So Heyward moving to left? J-Up has a stronger arm but Heyward is a better defender so I'm not really sure who plays right...

Overall that package was pretty weak, although signing Prado to an extension would be big.

No, Heyward stays in RF. Upton's arm isn't that much better, if at all, than Heywards.

Rays resign both Luke Scott and Kyle Farnsworth to 1-year contracts.

Josh Hamilton is 31 lol. Hardly old. And he's not overrated when he tries. If someone can get the most out of him (to make adjustments throughout the season, show better plate discipline) he's still one of the best hitters in the game.

Yeah as someone who watched around 50-60 Rangers games last year, saying he's overrated is just not true. When he's in the zone, he's one of the best power hitters in the game. Not very many people hit 4 HRs in one game last year.
