Rounding Up Today’s Crazy Talk
It’s the offseason and nobody has anything to talk about in the media. Luckily, the General Managers meetings are going on which means it’s time for reporters to float ridiculous ideas around.

Why Would You Do This?
According to Impacto Deportivo, the Yankees have agreed to terms with LHP Damaso Marte on a three-year, $12 million contract.
