Once among the best young relief pitchers in baseball, Boston Red Sox right-hander Daniel Bard looked lost last year during an attempted conversion to the starting rotation.

Although he has made great strides to reclaim his career this spring, it appears he still has work to do and will likely start the 2013 season in the minors. 

Imagine, for a second, that the New York Yankees wanted to trade Robinson Cano.

Sure, Cano is a superstar in the prime of his career and the best player on a franchise that considers itself a contender every year. So maybe the Yanks wouldn't exactly want to trade him, but they might need to.

The optimism Derek Jeter’s spring debut brought to the New York Yankees is receding after the legendary shortstop’s ankle injury forced him back onto the bench, but there is still no reason for the ball club to worry at this point.

We are two weeks from Opening Day in the MLB, and 25-man rosters are starting to take shape throughout the league as teams hit the preseason stretch run.

For most teams, this spring has been a productive one as they have shaken off the rust, avoided injury and perhaps even had an unexpected player or two step forward and earn a roster spot.

After losing 93 games and making a mockery of themselves in the process last season, the Boston Red Sox have their eyes on smooth sailing and a return to form in 2013.

It may be spring training, but Phillies fans are already in midseason form.

Of course, any Hooters waitresses out there should avert their eyes now because things are about to get rather awkward in here. 

Center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. may not be in the Boston Red Sox's immediate plans this year. That doesn't mean he isn't ready to make an impact in the big leagues. 

According to Eric Fisher of SportsBusiness Journal, Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association could reach an agreement to implement some form of a global draft as early as June 1.

If Puerto Rico is going to win the World Baseball Classic, it needs prime production from every member of its lineup, especially cleanup hitter Yadier Molina.

After taking care off business against Team USA and Japan, the only thing standing between Puerto Rico and the World Baseball crown is the undefeated Dominican Republic. 

New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira became the latest in a long line of fallen Bronx Bomber stars when he injured the tendon sheath of his right wrist when swinging off of a tee during World Baseball Classic workouts.
