MLB Update – Red Sox Try to Keep Up with Yankees in the AL
There’s been a lot of action going on in the N.L. what with agent Scott Boras arguing with the New York Mets over Carlos Beltran’s surgery, and Mark McGwire admitting to using steroids but keeping his hitting coach job with the St. Louis Cardinals.
In the A.L. things have been relatively quiet which is one of the reasons that a traditional update just won’t suffice for the American League. Instead, let’s take a look at some of the contenders for the A.L.

Sammy Sosa is Back and Whiter Than Ever
A picture of the President of Corked Bats Incorporated has surfaced, and you wouldn’t believe what Sammy looks like. Maybe it’s on homage to the late, great Michael Jackson.

MLB Insider – Breaking Down the Roy Halladay Trade
One of the most confusing trades in MLB in years just took place today with Seattle acquiring Philadelphia ace Cliff Lee and Toronto ace Roy Halladay going to the Phillies.
Oh, yes, we need to mention that the Boston Red Sox signed John Lackey which is huge news for BoSox fans. That, of course, was just a free agent signing, the Lee/Halladay situation?

The World Series is one of the most popular sports betting attractions around the world.
