Soul selling can be a good thing if your name is CC. Boras clients allow him to take charge until they don't. A-Rod and Boras have since kissed and made up so no harm, no foul with them. Al

Absolutely. I can't believe there is someone believing that Putz is better than Mariano. Irracional. Absurd. I think, maybe, if injuries do not appear on his horizon, my countryman Joakim Soria could get close to Mariano on years to come. About Nathan, he is a reliable closer. A very good one. But, the best? That place has a name. Mariano. “Al from BK( Fit CC for pinstripes. Jets are tied for first!)

If Cleveland trades on of their outfielders to KC for Teahen to play third base.

If a player fighting for the best deal is without soul, does the same hold true when a team tells a player their services are no longer needed or undercuts a player in an arbitration hearing?

A-Rod had to divorce himself from the guy just to come back here. In the case of CC I hope no emotion is involved because if there is he will be a Dodger. “Al
