I propose a trade before the 2015 season between two broken down former MVPs owed $60 million.
The Yankees should trade A-Rod to the Phillies for Ryan Howard.
Which side turns down that trade?
Which side is burned?
Also MVP thoughts and Cy Young winner Corey Kluber is NOT an All Star on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Detroit Tiger fans need to treat 2015 like it is a Toga Party.
Also thoughts on the Cy Young award and remembering Alvin Dark on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

See this Giants shirt? It is kind of obnoxious but true for this decade.
Do the Giants want to keep up this winning? Then they have some work to do this off season.
It is a keep the dynasty going episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

I believe the Cubs tampered to sign Joe Maddon.
I have knowledge that the Mets have lost their damn minds with the Michael Cuddyer signing.
It is a discussion of belief versus knowledge in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Why did reading a back issue of Cinefex make me think about the traditional writers vs Sabermetrics crowd?
Because when I grew up, I was the equivalent of a Sabermatrician in terms of movie watching.
It makes sense in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

MARK THE DATE AND TIME!
I am predicting that James Shields will be a bad free agent signing. Someone will sign him to a long term deal and regret it.
Where did you hear it first? You heard it on in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Kevin Youkilis has retired. And it makes me sick that his official image on Yahoo Sports is in a Yankee Uniform.
The Red Sox need to do a better job of saying good bye to our heroes.
Cue Dirty Water! It’s the new episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Alfonso Soriano is calling it a career. And it was indeed a fine career.
But if Nomar Garciaparra had accepted a contract extension from Boston, Soriano would have been a revered Yankee legend.
Trust me. It makes sense in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The finalists for MLB’s off season awards mirror the final results of Who Owned Baseball pretty closely.
We still need an MLB award show!
It is an “Envelope please” episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Let’s not create fake controversies, shall we?
Alex Rodriguez paid off his cousin to not talk about steroids? Is that supposed to shock us?
Fox Sports
And please stop any talk that Mike Jirschele should have sent Alex Gordon home with 2 outs in the 9th inning of Game 7 of the World Series. Gordon would have been out by 20 feet.
It is a manufactured controversies episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Can Pablo Sandoval re-sign with the Giants? All year long I said “No, it makes no sense.” But I might be changing my mind.

The Toronto Blue Jays are looking at the 2015 season and are at a crossroad.
Should they cut bait and rebuild? Or can they try and end the longest post season drought and take advantage of the vulnerable Yankees, Red Sox and Rays?
It is a North of the Border episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Joe Maddon looks like he is heading to the Cubs. Why didn’t the Dodgers back up the Brinks truck and offer him the sun, moon and stars?
They will regret this for the rest of the decade.
The off season is beginning in earnest on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – October 31, 2014
It is October 31, and there can be no scarier costume to wear in Kansas City than Madison Bumgarner.
His post season was remarkable of course. Emotionally, it also mirrored what Bob Gibson did in 1968.
Recorded in front of the house from Halloween, it is the Halloween episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Michael Macor – San Francisco Chronicle
Game 7 of the 2014 World Series was a thriller.
Bumgarner dominated. Affeldt was terrific. Gordon nearly pulled off the comeback and the Chevy Guy might be a viral marketing prank.
Lots to talk about regarding the last game of the year on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Madison Bumgarner, Pablo Sandoval, Kelvin Herrera and Alex Gordon owned the World Series and October last night.
Bumgarner and Hunter Pence had the highest WOWS total.
Bumgarner and Lorenzo Cain had the highest WOO total.

Well, Game 6 was a bust.
The Royals blew out the Giants early and handily.
Now it is all on the line tonight. The last game of the season. Game 7. Who will be associated with this game and the year forever more?
It is the end of the baseball season forecasted on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Tonight is Game 6 of the World Series.
Those words can bring up so many different memories. Who will be the Reggie Jackson, Carlton Fisk, Don Denkinger, Bill Buckner, Kirby Puckett, Joe Carter, Tom Glavine, Josh Beckett, David Freese or Nelson Cruz of the night?
Meanwhile I all but beg Joe Maddon to take over the Dodgers.
It could be a memorable night that is previewed on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Last night’s game was so strange that I feel like we saw 3 different games.
It was like a Tarantino film. I am not convinced it was shown in chronological order.

Okay..It has been a trying month here at the MLB Reports..Damaged electronics, power outages, I moved (while working every single day) – and all of this in the eye of the Postseason. But we are finally 100% back, and all systems at go.
First off, I wanted to acknowledge Sully for his incredible work on his 20 minute daily podcast, and his ironman streak for a couple of different things.
Sully has done a brand new podcast every day for 732 days straight. That is incredible to say the least. We are ecstatic to have partnered with him for all but about 3 months of that time. If you don’t currently listening to it, you are missing out.
Paul Sullivan “Sully” is a walking historical book on the game of baseball, but he presents it in a way that anyone can be a fan of the game.
My girlfriend can even easily spend 20 minutes a day downloading his show on Soundcloud, because he makes it easy to follow – and entertaining.
He doesn’t beat you over the head with stats and spends a lot of time telling stories on the narrative, or just his personal views.. It is a gift to be able to translate the game to any specter of age or gender in audio fashion for 20 minutes a day.
Subscribe to The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Another thing Sully does, is watch every single game of the 2430 game regular season schedule, and all of the playoffs.
At the completion of the 2014 Postseason, he will have listed a daily MVP for the AL and NL Games for 2 years straight as well.
Much like his podcast, he posts these articles every day there was baseball the previous day of action.
You are talking about 200+ more posts per year. The guy doesn’t miss a day. That kind of devotion is and will become even more legendary as the season’s pile up.
Thank you Sully, looking forward to many more years of featuring your work on our website.
So because Paul Sullivan does these baseball posts every day, we are guaranteed at least an article of the Daily MVP, and also his podcast.
For those of you who have been lucky enough to become a follower, spread the word out there so we can make this daily show a huge paying gig for Sully one day. Read the rest of this entry

I had never been to a World Series game in my life.
Neither had my dad, a lifelong Giants fan.
We went to Game 3 of the World Series together. I tried my best to share the experience of being at the game last night

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – October 24, 2014
Today is the second anniversary of the podcast.
For two straight years I have recorded 365 original podcasts a year. What drives me? The fact that baseball has never let me down nor has stopped giving me thrills.
Baseball allows me to live in the past, present and future all at once. And later tonight I will be doing a first for me: I will be attending a World Series Game
It is an anniversary celebration episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – October 23, 2014
I needed a new Giants hat for Game 3 of the World Series, which your pal Sully will be attending. So I went to the Giants dugout store and picked out a winner.
Afterwards I had some thoughts about Game 2 and maybe not using Hunter Strickland any more.
Plus, I did NOT get this ugly hat!
It is a going shopping episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

ESPN
Take a look at the map above. It is from an ESPN survey of baseball fans asking them which team they are rooting for. The blue states are rooting for the Royals fans. The red ones are pulling for the San Francisco Giants.
That’s pretty cut and dry who most people are rooting for.
The Giants are indeed the bad guys in the 2014 World Series. Relish it, Giants Fans.
Also, what the hell was going on with Tim Lincecum? Is there a behind the scenes rift?
It is the Game 1 of the World Series episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Every team that made the playoffs has heart
Every team that made the playoffs has desire.
Every team that made the playoffs has a sense of camaraderie.
At this point at the eve of the World Series, making predictions is futile. It is all coming down to chance.
It is a recorded in the parking lot of Trader Joe’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – October 20, 2014
I credit the recent success of the Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants to my wife.
Plus some people are already trashing this World Series match up. We have had some dud World Series before. Give the Giants and Royals some credit.
It is a thank the Mrs. episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – October 18, 2014
Why do the Royals remind me of The Cosby Show and Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
It makes sense to me.
Also I lament waiting so long for more baseball, my rental car is wonky and THIS ARTICLE from The National Pastime Museum gives us yet another reason to celebrate Hank Aaron.
It is a stopping and starting episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – October 17, 2014
Ho hum… another mind boggling, jaw dropping, heart stopping, head scratching historic playoff game in 2014.
Travis Ishikawa joins an elite crew…
Michael Morse and Brandon Crawford have heroics almost as important…
And Mike Matheny might have managed himself right out of St. Louis.
It is a night of baseball I will never forget and I celebrate on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Travis Ishikawa (you think?), Madison Bumgarner, Adam Wainwright and Jon Jay all owned October yesterday.

Talking new Dodgers front office and remembering Chambliss and Bartman.
The Cardinals Catching Situation is not the same without Yadier Molina, but at least they rostered 3 backstoppers.
Also speaking more about the LCS during this version of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Nobody Owned October last night as there were no games

I recorded today’s podcast despite being in the middle of an allergy attack.

Fox Sports 1 did some creative work in their broadcast of the NLCS last night. It shows that maybe some different thinking can be used in showing baseball as MLB embraces the digital age.
It is a thinking outside of the Idiot Box episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
