Thanks to a late end to the postseason (the final game World Series game was played on November 2nd), we sit here on November 17th and the Hot Stove is still sitting comfortably on “low.” The only move of consequence so far was Ryon Healy going from Oakland to the Mariners for a couple of players who […]

It’s Time for the Blue Jays to Trade Kevin Pillar
I’ve written my fair share of articles on Kevin Pillar over the years, most of them praising him and looking optimistically at his future with the Blue Jays.

Goodbye, Roy Halladay: Baseball Legend.

He May Lay Down his Crown, but Bautista Will Always be King
Wherever there was a hello, surely, in time there has to be a goodbye. The greeting, the initial unfamiliar acknowledgement of a beginning is something clean. At one moment, you were unaware of the existence of someone at all. Then, suddenly, they have a name and a face and presence. Some people, some relationships are […]
