• Free Agent Profile: Alex Cobb: I looked at free agent starter Alex Cobb and why he could be a good fit for the Cardinals.
• Carlos Martínez remembers Oscar Taveras - A Hunt and Peck: Carlos Martínez payed tribute to his childhood friend exactly three years after Oscar's tragic passing.

Have a good one,
