Honestly, I thought that I could post on the topic once and be over with it [Are You Ready For Your Yankees Fix?]. I was obviously wrong. While the Boston Red Sox have just overcome a 3-1 margin to beat the Cleveland Indians to make the World Series and while the Colorado Rockies have won […]

Bust out your yarmulkes and start slicing the challah. It is time for your Friday wrap up of links that I failed to cover during the week. Jerome Brown of San Clemente, California pleaded not guilty after being accused of forming fake businesses to defraud other companies out of about $450,000. His lawyer claims that […]
Mike Lowell loves playing for the Boston Red Sox whether they win the World Series or end up losing to the Cleveland Indians in Game 5 of the ALCS. It really says a lot about a modern day player who is not afraid to voice his candid opinion to the media. Most athletes who choose […]

Jones made $13.5 million this past year, and the Braves were just not interested in Boras’ demand for approximately […]
Scott Boras likes to stick his nose in everything: from attempting to transform the World Series into a best out of 9 game series to apparently discussing business with the suspected future owner of the Chicago Cubs. Will Leitch, author of Deadspin, wrote a piece on the apparent talks between Boras and John Canning (the […]
I would not quite call myself Dan Patrick (YET!), but I am starting to get my voice heard on the radio lately. I just had my second appearance on the Adam Taxin Show, which airs during the week on 1540 AM WNWR in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I am also booked to speak on a Fantasy Sports […]
The August 15th midnight deadline has come and gone. Last time we updated this thread (6 days before the deadline), slot values had still been down across the board and 22 of the top 100 picks had not yet signed. In addition 13 of the 22 were first rounders. Let’s just say that August 15th […]
