The Flip: Mike Napoli returns to the AL West
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, MLB, Trades,
For the second time since Friday, Mike Napoli has been traded. Hopefully he hasn’t unpacked after being sent from Los Angeles to Toronto, as he is now heading back to the AL West. The Blue Jays and Rangers have completed a deal, sending the four-day old Blue Jay Napoli to Texas for reliever Frank Francisco and a little less than a million bucks. It’s just another player flipping deals that already seem to be common with Toronto’s new GM Alex Anthopoulos over his first year in the job.

Green Bay Packers defeat the Chicago Bears and are now Super Bowl bound
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Championship, News, NFL, Playoffs,
The Green Bay Packers went into Soldier Field to play the Chicago Bears and came out the victors in one of sports' greatest rivalries. It was the 182nd meeting between the two NFC North teams and it was a match-up as good as it was going to get - a game that determined who would go to the Super Bowl. In the end, it was the Packers with a 21-14 win, led by Aaron Rodgers and the much ballyhooed Packers defense led by Clay Matthews and a B.J. Raji interception run back for a touchdown. The Packers will meet the Pittsburgh Steelers for the right to be called Super Bowl champions.

Unexpected cash infusion may be good for Kansas City Royals
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, MLB,
When Gil Meche retired from baseball earlier this week at the ripe age of 32, it may have been a blessing in disguise for the Royals. Due to shoulder issues, Meche wouldn’t likely have pitched much or well unless he underwent surgery, meaning his 2011 was a goner anyway. Instead, the Royals have an unexpected cash infusion of $12 million. It’s not a lot of money by baseball standards, but for a team that’s not projected to spend more than $60 million in 2011, $12 million is quite a bit.

Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, MLB, News, Trades,
Vernon Wells, along with the four years and $86 million remaining on his contract, have been traded to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Mike Napoli and Juan RIvera were traded to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for Wells. The downside for Angels fans who have made their voices heard is the money owed Wells, who had a bounceback 2010, but had three previous seasons of subpar performances. The trade allows the Blue Jays to have some financial flexibility moving forward.

Manny Ramirez and Johnny Damon to reunite with Tampa Bay Rays
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, MLB, News,
Former Boston Red Sox teammates, Manny Ramirez and Johnny Damon, could be reunited with the Tampa Bay Rays for the 2011 MLB season. They've been signed as free agents and are pending passing physicals before the deals are official. Since their run as part of the Red Sox World Series runs, both have moved on from Beantown, experiencing certain degrees of success, but can they help lead a young team in the Rays to any sort of success? The Rays lost key contributors during the offseason, such as Carl Crawford, Carlos Pena, and Rafael Soriano. Hopefully, a reunion between Manny and Johnny works some sort of magic.
