Two-run double by Troy Glaus sends Cardinals to 5-3 win over Astros (AP)
2008-04-09 07:04:00 Anthony Reyes was terrible as a starter last season. His career as a long reliever is off to a much better start. Reyes pitches three scoreless innings of one-hit ball and Troy Glaus hit a two-run double in the eighth inning to propel the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-3 win over the Houston Astros ...

2008 Best Buy: Troy Glaus
2008-03-04 02:50:00 Is Troy Glaus a real Viking? Was he born in Greenland? Does he don a pink polka dot dress and ride ponies with Travis Hafner on weekends? I can’t answer any of the above questions. What I can tell you, though, is that Troy Glaus is a sweet buy for the 2008 fantasy baseball season. Why? Glaus ...

Doin' The Troy Glaus
2008-01-18 06:09:00 Many thanks go out to our new found friends at Ghostrunner on First for finding this delightful video that explains what Troy Glaus meant to the typical Toronto sports fan.If that's doin' the Troy Glaus, I'm going to go ahead and claim that doin' the Scott Rolen is getting sick in your own scorn or else just making fun of people who believe it to be SO OUTRAGEOUS that they're awake at 2:50 a.m. Although that achievement pretty much takes care of itself.Update: It just got a whole lot better. After looking up the genetic cul de sac who submitted this video to YouTube, I found that his handle is "dnolan420." Of course this makes perfect sense because coming from a handle with "420" in it, this clip is everything I would expect and less.In an unrelated note, when I post videos of my threesomes (which I call doin' the Alex Rios), I post them under the handle Dr_Shocker_69.

The Obligatory Troy Glaus Steroids Post
2007-09-11 22:17:00 So the steroid controversy has finally touched Toronto. Well... that is, if we don't count Roger Clemens, Brad Fullmer, Jose Canseco, Billy Koch, Shawn Green, Raul Mondesi, Tony Batista, Benito... Foul-mouthed, booze-loving and "smarter than you" fans of the Toronto Blue Jays follow their team's progress in the American League East.

MLB asks to meet with Rick Ankiel and Troy Glaus after reports link them to
2007-09-08 02:14:00 Major League Baseball asked Friday to meet with Rick Ankiel and Troy Glaus after the pair were accused of receiving performance-enhancing drugs from a Florida pharmacy under investigation for illegally distributing prescription medications. Ankiel, who has hit nine homers since rejoining the St. Louis Cardinals last month, received eight shipments of human growth hormone from ...

Troy Glaus Received Anabolic Steroids From Signature Pharmacy in 2003 and 2
2007-09-08 00:14:00 Toronto Blue Jays third baseman, Troy Glaus was sent multiple shipments of anabolic steroids from an internet pharmacy at the center of a major performance-enhancing drug distribution ring involving bogus prescriptions dispensed over the internet. According to the Sports Illustrated, Glaus received multiple shipments of nandrolone and testosterone between September 2003 and May 2004 while he was

Glaus Implicated For Steroid Use
2007-09-07 21:43:00 Here at MLBTR I mostly try to avoid steroid posts unless they have implications for the hot stove. In the case of Blue Jays third baseman Troy Glaus, a steroid connection definitely crosses into our realm. It was recently revealed at SI.com that Glaus received steroids in 2003-04. It appears that steroid use played a large role in Glaus's contracts. We may never know whether his home run crown in 2000 was influenced by performance-enhancing drugs. But that season led the Angels to lock him up through his arbitration years at four years, $22MM. In July of 2003, Glaus landed awkwardly trying to field a Julio Lugo bunt. This was first labeled a bruise, but the ultimate result was a partial tear of his rotator cuff and a frayed labrum. He was shut down for the rest of '03 but chose rehab over surgery. Glaus actually lost weight that winter. He got off to a decent start in '04 but by May elected to have the surgery.&nbs...

Rosenthal's Latest: Damon, Glaus, Wells
2007-08-20 19:50:00 Ken Rosenthal has a new column up; here are some rumor-related points of interest. As you know, it doesn't make sense for the Yankees to keep both Bobby Abreu and Johnny Damon around for 2008. It's just not an efficent way to spend $29MM. Rosenthal says Damon would be open to waiving his no-trade clause, if the Yankees struck a deal with a team that fell under his 12-team protection. Damon is apparently open to regular playing time on teams not located on the West Coast. The White Sox, Phillies, Braves, or Astros might make sense, in my opinion. The Yanks' ability to pull an exercise-and-trade with Abreu's 2008 option is hindered by his full no-trade protection. Rosenthal believes the Blue Jays might aggressively shop Troy Glaus this winter. Glaus surprisingly cleared waivers recently. Glaus is holding all the cards - he has a full no-trade clause and a player option for 2009. The Rockies will pass on David Wells, but the Dodgers are sti...

Stark On Waiver Happenings
2007-08-17 04:23:00 Jayson Stark's column today was a goldmine of waiver-related material. I updated my Players Who Have Cleared Waivers post with his new info. Two thoughts from that group: I was surprised to see that no one wanted a piece of Troy Glaus's contract, which really isn't scary at $24MM over 2008-09 (assuming he exercises his player option). I'm sure his no-trade clause would've been a pricey obstacle, but what's the harm in making a claim? Why would the Angels, Phillies, and Dodgers pass on him? Maybe clubs talked to J.P. Ricciardi and decided it just wasn't worth it. And to be fair, Glaus hasn't done anything since June and is dealing with plantar fasciitis. I wonder if Jim Bowden was embarrassed that no one would touch Dmitri Young's silly new contract. Another group Stark had was the Claimed But Withdrawn. Here they are: Jon GarlandScott HattebergKei IgawaJacque JonesMike LambMark LorettaCorey PattersonChad QuallsDavid RiskeRichie Sexs...

MLB Trade Rumors by Ken Rosenthal - Eric Gagne, Joe Blanton, Troy Glaus
2007-07-31 18:10:00 With five hours remaining until the trade deadline, FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal has just updated his column with what may be the last round of rumor updates today. There are several interesting names contained in it. (That shouldn't be surprising given any info will expire with the trade deadline, so why not be all-in right now?) Amongst those rumors is the availability of Blue Jays' 3B Troy Glaus for "a substantial return". I see no reason he couldn't fetch a package similar to the one Texas received for Mark Teixeira. There is a longer explanation of the talks between the Dodgers and A's for starting pitcher Joe Blanton. Most surprising? The A's were willing to accept no major league players. Mr. Rosenthal writes the Yankees won't include any pitcher of substance, including AA starter Alan Horne, in a Gagne deal. But he does bring-up a solid alternative - AAA centerfielder Brett Gardner. Some where in the synapses of my mind, I re...

Pirates Ask For Glaus In Jack Wilson Deal
2007-07-23 16:57:00 The Pirates are shopping shortstop Jack Wilson, and the Blue Jays are known to be interested. One would expect the Bucs to be happy with the salary relief and maybe ask for a token prospect. Instead, Dave Littlefield asked about Troy Glaus. Now, it was just an inquiry, and the Jays quickly shot it down. Obviously we don't know how the phone call went, so Littlefield might've devised a reasonable trade scenario involving additional players. The Pirates could definitely use a big bat like Glaus, but he does not seem likely to approve a trade to Pittsburgh even if the two sides did agree on the players. It's hard to tell just how available Glaus is, but a recent report indicates that he can be had. A return to the Angels still seems most likely.

Troy Glaus Available
2007-07-21 18:24:00 The general feeling, based on comments from Troy Glaus and J.P. Ricciardi, has been that Glaus is staying put. However, a Toronto Sun article from Bob Elliott quotes an NL scout saying that Glaus is indeed available. The 31 year-old third baseman would be hard to replace, so he won't come cheap. No reason Ricciardi shouldn't at least field offers. Glaus, of course, has a full no-trade clause. When he was last traded, he required an $11.25MM player option for '09 be added to his deal. At present he will make another $4.4MM this year and $12.75MM in '08. If he were to concede to another trade, maybe he'd want $26-30MM guaranteed for 2009-10. Just a guess. The common sentiment is that Glaus would end up back in California if traded. Elliott names the Padres and Angels as teams in need of a power-hitting third-sacker. But let's give some props to rookie Kevin Kouzmanoff, who is hitting .283/.338/.500 since May 1st. ...

3B Troy Glaus scratched with tight hamstring

Padres Need A Bat
2007-05-11 19:12:00 The Padres are currently 13th in the NL in OBP and 10th in slugging. They could really use a hitter - Mike Cameron and Kevin Kouzmanoff have been offensive black holes, Brian Giles has less power than his brother, Khalil Greene never gets on base, and Josh Bard batted cleanup a few days ago. Phil Nevin's agent and apparently a San Diego radio station have been campaigning for the Padres to sign the free agent. I think his supporters are more focused on the 22 homers than the fairly meager .438 SLG or the fact that Nevin can't play defense. Tim Sullivan of the San Diego Union-Tribune throws out three other possible upgrades at third base: Troy Glaus, Hank Blalock, and Ryan Zimmerman. Blalock seems to be bouncing back so far; he's at .292/.346/.467. Kevin Towers and Jon Daniels have hooked up for two deals - one the infamous Adam Eaton trade, and the other a minor one that sent Freddy Guzman to Texas. We discussed Glaus yesterday - he would have to ha...

What to do with the Slumping Jays
2007-05-10 17:49:00 What to do with the slumping Jays Here?s the deal. It?s only about a fifth of the way in, ok? You need to panic right? Huh? Let?s look at things in a level headed manner here. The Jays are already 9.5 back of first place Boston. There is plenty of time left but 9.5 is a huge lead. And on top of this, we all know that Boston will spend the $$$ needed at the trading deadline to improve their ballclub. In the AL Central, both Cleveland and Detroit are starting to pull away from the pack. Both teams are playing .625 or better ball. Currently, Toronto is 7.5 games back of Detroit for the wildcard. One of baseball?s oldest clichés is: ?You can?t win the pennant in the first two months of the season but you sure can lose it.? This off-season, JP was given essentially a blank check by Toronto ownership, and was given a budget of $90 - $100 million. I?m not going to go into all of his FA acquisitions, because I think we can honestly say that none of them, whether it be the .390 slugging Fr...
