Josh Hamilton' rangers deal is official. He will be released April 1 if he's not on MLB roster and requests release.

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeyman 3m3 minutes ago
In his new TEX deal Hamilton receives MLB minimum 535K if in majors, a far cry from the 125M LAA deal he was released from.

After Tyson Ross's decision to go to TEX, the Cubs continue to evaluate free agent pitching. Brett Anderson is a possible fit.

Bagwell (86.2%)
Raines (86%)

The good news for Sammy Sosa: His vote total went up, from 7.0 to 8.6 pct. The bad news: This makes 4 straight years in single digits. He would need to add nearly 300 votes to get elected. Good luck on that!

Bonds 53.8%

 

[Ronin]

Turns out Roger Clemens & Barry Bonds didn't make as dramatic a jump as we expected. Clemens went from 45.2 pct to 54.1, Bonds from 44.3 to 53.8. So both would need close to 100 more votes to get elected. Still, they were both around 36 pct 2 years ago. They have 5 years left on the ballot. And only Gil Hodges got this close with this many years left and didn't get into the Hall

How the f*** is Jeff Bagwell being inducted into the Hall of Fame and Mark mcgwire's not that is disgusting

Baseball Reference ‏@baseball_ref 6m6 minutes ago
Tim Raines got 48.7% in his fifth year on the ballot. Bonds, Clemens, Mussina, Hoffman, and Vlad are all well over that in year 5 or sooner

 

[Ronin]

A Roger Clemens voting oddity: He has now gotten more votes than Barry Bonds in all 5 years they've been on the ballot, but never by more than 12 votes. This year's totals: Clemens 239, Bonds 238. No idea how to explain that.
http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-0613514993299625913-4

 

[Ronin]

Biggest jumps in the voting this year: Tim Raines (16.2 pct), Edgar Martinez (15.2), Jeff Bagwell (14.6), Barry Bonds (9.4), Roger Clemens (8.9), Mike Mussina (8.8)

 

[Ronin]

The only players to lose votes this year: Curt Schilling (down 31 votes, 7.3 percent) & Billy Wagner (down one vote, 0.1 percent). Oops. I think I'm the vote Wagner lost! (Rule of 10 issues)

Source confirms: #Marlins close to acquiring Dan Straily from #Reds for RHPs Luis Castillo and Austin Brice, plus lesser third piece.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 15m15 minutes ago
Castillo and Brice, heading to #Reds, are the No. 5 and No. 9 prospects in a thin #Marlins system, per http://MLBPipeline.com.

The #Marlins gave up a lot. Castillo will pitch in the bigs this year. Brice is a power arm. Straily fits the win now mode
