Rays traded Lobaton to the Nats. I'll miss the guy :(

Karns is a really interesting guy to get back. Especially for a 3rd string catcher who was out of the options.

Interesting news on MLB 14: The Show.

It won't be out for the PS3 and Vita until April 1, which is a month later than normal. The PS4 version won't be out until "sometime in May".

Yeah sucks the PS4 version is delayed so long. Cant wait to see it in motion, those screens look a bit weird. Everything looks like it is made of plastic. I guess they wont be doing a crossbuy deal with the vita and PS4 versions. That sucks.

The end actually came last fall when the Pirates offered Burnett a one-year, $8.5-million contract before he became a free agent.

Burnett was said to be insulted with an offer that represented a 47 percent pay cut from his 2013 salary of $16.5 million. The Pirates’ rationale was that the Yankees paid $8.5 million of that $16.5 million, part of the terms of trade that sent Burnett to Pittsburgh at the start of spring training in 2012.

Even when the Pirates increased their offer to $11 million, it wasn’t enough to entice Burnett to come back.

It also showed how little the Pirates wanted Burnett to return. Considering owner Bob Nutting recently bought a second ski resort in the Laurel Highlands, he certainly could have sprung for $16 million for one more year of Burnett.

Burnett told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review last year during spring training that he would either return to the Pirates in 2013 or retire and had no desire for any other team. He reiterated those feelings late in the regular season, saying “I can’t imagine playing for anyone but the black and gold.”

But everything changed when the Pirates decided not to start Burnett in the decisive Game 5 against the Cardinals in the National League Division Series after he had been rocked for seven runs in two innings in Game 1. Rookie Gerrit Cole got the start instead and the Pirates lost.

Manager Clint Hurdle told Burnett of his plan immediately after the Pirates lost in Game 4 at PNC Park, setting up the winner-take-all game two nights later at St. Louis.

Burnett was enraged by the decision and threatened to not fly with the team to St. Louis despite being told he would likely start Game 1 or 2 if the Pirates advanced to the National League Championship Series to face the Dodgers.

While the clubhouse was closed to the media, sources on the inside said it made for an awkward scene with the players still upset about suffering a tough 2-1 loss and failing to clinch the series while Burnett ranted.

Meanwhile, a source close to Burnett, said being bypassed for the Game 5 start motivated the 37-year-old to play one more year. He felt he still had something to prove and also did not want to end his career on such a bad note.

So now Burnett is with the Phillies and the Pirates are without their first true No. 1 starter since Doug Drabek was anchoring the rotation back in the early 1990s.

Re; Burnett, there's also a hilarious story floating around Pirate blogs about him parking in Bob Nutting's space repeatedly to make a Point

https://twitter.com/jonbernhardt/status/433992053090164736

@jonbernhardt story is he parked in Nutting's spot every time he started at home and I've heard it from enough people that it's prob true

https://twitter.com/Scott_McMurtry/status/433992760723787776

This was apparently in retaliation for ownership not listening to complaints about player parking at PNC. Shine on AJ you crazy diamond

lol aj , i was about to rage on nutting for buying a ski resort instead of investing proper in the Pirates but he apparently paid less than 10 million for it. i will rage on him for this though that i wasnt aware of, i figured nutting family was on the lower end of the rich owners.

Turns out they are 10th richest

Its a bummer hes going to waste the last year of his career with the Phillies.

Hopefully he gets traded midseason to a team thats actually making the playoffs.

lol AJ, what a nut. Though I've wanted to park in my boss's spot for years. She can park right by the building, but the rest of us dregs have to park in the lot behind the building that's already behind us. Horseshit.

RIP in peace 2014 Mariners

It's not that bad friendo.

Taijuan has minor discomfort and they are playing it safe. I have a sore shoulder when I throw a baseball for the first time in months also.

Walker: "I'm fine. I got it checked out. I'm just taking it a little slower than everyone else. I'm still playing catch and everything."

Did you honestly expect ANYTHING from Franklin Gutierrez? I didn't.

Iwakuma thing stinks. But they will re-evaluate in 3 weeks and maybe he will be ahead of schedule. Its not THAT serious of an injury to begin with.

Yeah I'm still trying to be optimistic about the season. It sucks to hear about Guti because he really is a good player, but his health is so poor it's just unfortunate that we can't use him consistently. God knows our outfield needs him.

How could you not be optimistic? You guys got the top FA and he is a great player in his prime.
