The Chicago White Sox haven't made the playoffs since 2008. In that time, the American League Central Division has been mostly dominated by the Detroit Tigers, who built a divisional empire on the backs of Miguel Cabrera, Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer. A few months ago, the White Sox had two sellable assets: dynamic ace Chris Sale and AL Rookie of the Year Jose Abreau. Now, as Christmas approaches, they may be the Majors's most improved team. The White Sox continued their offseason assault this weekend by signing Melky Cabrera to a three-year deal worth $42 million, according to ESPN. The signing enhances one of last year's least-productive outfields and adds to a long list of quality players added since the World Series ended. In November, Chicago added power-hitting first baseman Adam LaRoche — who will probably DH — in a low-key, two-year deal. They them made a splash by snatching former New York Yankees closer David Robertson to a four-year, $46-million contract. The White Sox then traded for coveted Oakland Athletics starter and notorious mustache enthusiast Jeff Samardzija, giving Chicago a legitimate No. 2 starter behind Sale. The team also acquired reliever Zach Duke to help the bullpen and now has added to its outfield. Cabrera was an All-Star in 2012, the same year he was suspended for elevated testosterone levels.

In a move called "an earthquake" for baseball, former Oakland As and Boston Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester has signed a six year, $155 million dollar contract... not with former team the Red Sox as expected, but with the upstart Chicago Cubs. In an offseason full of notable moves, the Lester signing is massive, and will likely set off a whole train of player movement with the Red Sox, New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, Detroit Tigers, Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies now all looking to solidify their rosters. Now the free agent market has been set, we can expect some fireworks! Read More »
Josh Donaldson is one of the best players the Oakland Athletics had, and one of the best the MLB has to offer, so it's fair to say the world was baffled when they decided to trade him to the Toronto Blue Jays. Rumors are suggesting it might well have been because of a fall-out between Josh and Billy Beane, the A's general manager. Now he's a Blue Jay, and he couldn't be happier, but will the A's suffer a huge decline because of yet another indecisive trade? Read More »
