When welterweight Floyd Mayweather was No. 1 on Sports Illustrated’s Fortunate 50 last year—knocking out Tiger Woods, who had been No. 1 every year since SI started producing the list in 2004—it looked like a fluke, the result of the $85 million he received for his fights with Victor Ortiz and Miguel Cotto. Now Mayweather is proving that he belongs at the top. From just two bouts this year, one earlier this month and the other scheduled for September, he will earn at least $90 million, ...

Trade in the works?

I'd hope so. Otherwise this will crash his trade value as other teams worry he's hurt.

melvin is in a tough spot

can't dl him since it will make a trade impossible

no way is a trade done not with the brewers on the fringe and zack having pitched like garbage the last few starts

melvin has fibbed before but here i think the silly explanation is true

who would claim that when it was not?

There may have been mention of this elsewhere, but Greinke started three games in a row for the Brewers. When was the last time that happened?

They could have Greinke pitch left-handed to save wear and tear on his arm, and he'd still be a better closer than Axford.

Get him some Chipotle and he'll be fixed right up...

Sad that the bullpen has been the healthy part of the team, just that none of them are any good at all. K Rod will get the closer job by default. Starters go at least 7 if at all possible, 8th inning to staff.

If Marcum wasn't hurt, Estrada could help in the pen, because he's far better than any of the relievers. Assuming Roenicke knew to take him out of the long man role.

What a waste of three good rookies seasons in Aoki, Fiers, and Maldonado, and Braun's good year. Even the scrap heap shortstops have been way better than that bullpen.
